any money provided for placing the
markers on the battlefields.

considering marking the battlefields
where American troops were engaged.
the Governor decided to name com
mission of nine to confer with the
Federal officials and prepare recon-
mendations before trip should be
undertaken by the proposed author
lied commission of three. These
three the Governor will later select
from the commission of nine.
Those named by the Governor are:

Baltimore
Regardless of the result of the in
quiry into the treatment of the in
sane service men at Spring Grove
State Hospital, there is to be an in
vestigation made under the direction
of Governor Richie.
The Governor got into communica-
ton with Col. A. w. w. Woodcock,
commander of the Department of
Maryland, American Legion, and
asked him to name a member of a
committee of three. Colonel Wood
cock, named Major Henry S. Barrett,
of this city. Then the Governor
named Milton A. Reckord, State Ad-
jutant General.
It was agreed that these two would
meet Governor Richie at his city
Office on Monday and agree on the
selection of third member. This
done, the committee can get to work
at once and ascertain whether there
Is any substance to the charges
against the hospital as made by DR..
E. G. Reitzel, of this city, formerly
stationed there. DR.. Reitzel has told
the American Legion that the men
are not properly looked after and are
brutally treated, while A. T. Truitt
representing the Legion, has alleged
that the State Of Maryland is charg
ing too much for the care of the dis.
abled veterans by collecting SO a day
while private patients at the same
hospital pay only 50 day.
