OPPOSE HEALTH
SERVICE Change
Organizations Say Proposed
Civilian Bases Order\
Would be Mistake
APPEAL is MADE
TO REPRESENTATIVES

Proposal that President Harding
issue an executive order putting the
1900 reserve officers Of the Public
Health Service on a civilian basis is
being opposed by a number Of organ
izations in Delaware. These organ
izations include the Anti-Tubercu-
losis Society, American Legion and
Chamber OF Commerce.
1t Is declared that the change to
a civil instead Of military basis
would tend to. demoralize and dis
rupt the entire disqualification Of the
United States Veterans Bureau. Acc
cording to Brigadier- General Sawyer,
the Presidents medical advisor, and
several Senators who are backing the
plan, 1t would effect a saving OF
100000. on the other hand, how
ever opponents OF the change con-
tend that % per cent. Of the Public
Health surgeons and physicians saw
active service in France or that out
of 1O6 now engaged in soldier re-
lief work. 1851 are former service
men and go are in service hospi-
tails.
The average pay for the health
service surgeons. including an allow
ance for quarters, heat, etc, is S4.-
1876. OF the total of 1900 reserve
officers only two draw salaries equal
to a colonel. Most Of them rate about
equally with majors and captains.
Several kilograms nave already
been sent from local ORGANIZATIONS
to Washington, addressed to Presi-
dent Harding. Senator L. Heisler
Ball. Senator T. Coleman DUPONT and
Representative Caleb r. Layton.
with a view towards staying the
Presidents hand.
The telegram sent by the Anti
tuberculosis Society declares that
the society positively and emphat-
ically protests gainst the move
ment to disrupt the medical service
OF the U. S Veterans Bureau. Prac-
tlcally most OF the highly trained
physicians in tuberculosis work are
connected with the bureau and it
would be a calamity TO the many ex-
service men suffering with this dis
case II such a movement were made
effective We do not believe that
economy should play a part at the
expense OF the lives of these men
who have given everything for their
country"
The kilograms OF the American
Legion and the Chamber OF Com
merce are worded practically the
same. pointing out that such a move
would mean a serious detriment to
| the eX-service men in the hospitals.
They. like the telegram OF the Anti
Tuberculosis Society, were addressed
to the President and the Delaware
/ Senator and Congressman.

CHURCHES OF RUSSIA
GIVE TREASURE HOARD
Great Mass of Gold, Silver and Precious
Stones Turned Over to Soviet
Commissioners.


Moscow.-Silver by the ton, gold by
the hundred weight, pearls by the bush
ell, and diamonds by the peck, dumped
into wooden boxes, jute sacks, paste
board cartons or merely wrapped in
parcels, all this treasure hoard awaits
opening and sorting at the storehouse
for valuables confiscated by the Soviet
government from the churches and syn
agogues of Russia for the benefit of
the famine sufferers.
The correspondent of the Associated
Press was permitted to visit the five
story loft building which constitutes
the storehouse by consent of M. I. Kali
enin, peasant president of Russia and
head of all the famine relief organiza-
tions. One floor of the building, about
100 feet long and As feet wide, is al
ready nearly filled with the articles
confscated in Moscow alone, these
amounting to more than 10000 pounds
of silver, several hundred pounds Of
gold, and over ten thousand precious
stones, mostly diamonds. Requisitioned
articles from provincial churches are
to be stored on the other four floors.
A rough list of the articles confscat-
ed accompanies each box as it is
brought, under heavy guard, to the
storehouse, but the exact value only
will be known when appraisers open
the parcels and sort their contents.
