eral de Jacques. of the Belgian army,
were brought into handshaking contact
yesterday by g battery of newspaper
cameramen who found the three digni-
taries at the Pennsylvania Station
about to start for Washington, but in
| separate private cars, each surrounded
by his own staff
Ordinarily arrangements for group
ing Of these three great national fig
ures would have involved some diplo-
matte dickering and the unwinding of
red tape, but the photographers used
the direct method. Admiral Beatty,
when told what the men wanted, merely
grinned and stepped out to be
"mugged," but an aide of the Italian
general insisted his chief could not
engage in so undigniHed proceeding.
He said the general would have to be
approached through the usual formal
channels.
When General Diaz found out what
the conversation was about he brushed
the fussy aide aside and stalked up to
Admiral Beatty, who shook hands with
him. The Belgian general hastened to
join the group. "Click!" went ten

unique institution built in the form
of cross and overlooking Central
Park, in which no man is too poor to
have his private room, because there
IS not an open ward within-has
raised sS77 900 during the last week.
This is more than half or the $3.50 900
needed to complete its fund.
Many have donated substantial sums
during the week, one contribution
amounting to 100000. Added to this
were lump sums of $4,000, $4,000
and less, down to the voluntary collec-
tlon offered by the workmen on the
new building, who passed the hat
among themselves and turned the pro-
ceeds over to the hospital fund.
The s750,000 now being raised will
put the hospital on an independent.
self supporting basis. Each one of the
$40 beds which the building houses is
in separate room, with an outside
window. Down the arms of the cross
