The Status at Washington.

Washington, May 1S-Interest in
the Washington end of the situation
regarding The Hague conference plan
centered largely today in the report
from Paris yesterday that it was un-
derstood Premier Lloyd George had
sent another message to the United
States government giving fuller ex-
plantation of the plan for the adjourn
ed meeting of an international COM
mission there to further examine the
Russian problem. No additional mes
sage had been received early today,
state department officials said, and in
the absence of official advices they de-
clined to comment on the report that
such message had been despatched.
Close observers of the attitude of
American officials toward the Russian
question, however, were convinced
that the American governments dec
clination of the invitation to join in
the work of The Hague commission
was based fixed purpose to remain
wholly aloof from any arrangement
marking the least approach toward
recognition of the soviet government
and from which there was no dispo-
sition t recede. 1t was re-emphasiz-
ed tday that the United States stands
ready to join with he oher powers in
any purely scientific investigation of
conditions in Russia with view to
recommending steps necessary for
that codntry's economic rehabilitation
but that it believes such restoration
could not be hoped for under the terms
outlined in the Russian memorandum
of May II at Genoa.
The attitude indicated in that me-
morandum, from which The Hague
commission plan appeared to be an

impossible barrier to the establish

The United States, it was stated au-
thoritatively, could not be induced to
enter discussion resting in any way
on the Russian attitude that political
phases must be considered as they af-

tRy AssOetetad pressl


Jacksonville, May 18. Southern
Baptists have larger investment in
educational institutions than any
other denomination in the south, ac-
cordings to the annual report of the
educational board made public in con-
nection with today's sessions of the
Southern Baptist convention.
Growth also was shown in the con-
vention's foreign mission work and
in the Women's Missionary union,
although the $1,759,478 received for
foreign missions from the $75,OOO,-
600 campaign in the last twelve
months was less than in the previous
year. The work of the foreign mis-
sion and education board was the
chief topic before today's sessions.
The educational board, of which
DR.. W. c. James, of Birmingham, is
corresponding secretary, announced
that 119 institutions with total en-
rollment of 1850 women and 1907
men, are now being operated in six
teen states. The property value of
the institutions, which include Sd
academies, "a junior colleges, SO
standard senior colleges and five the
ological seminaries and missionary
training schools, was estimated at
$26,1S1 ,401, and their total endow-
ment $11,323, ,793.
The financial depression since the
last annual convention was the cause
of the decreased receipts for foreign
missions, said DR.. ]. F. Love, Rich
mond, secretary of the foreign mis-
sion. "In every other respect" he
added, "the past year has been by
far the most successful of the seven
ty-seven in which the Southern Ban
lists have carried on foreign mission
work"
Churches in foreign fields contrib

ing the last year, or 60 per cent more
than in any previous year, he point

Hospital Of Santo Spirito
at Rome Goes Up in
Flames
COULD CARE FOR 5000.
Exact Number Of Dead Is
Not Known Many
Injured

Rome, May 1s--A disasterous
FIRE swept the historic hospital of
Santo Spirito, cne of the most an
| cient and picturesque charitable
institutions in Rome early today.
Collapse of the pavement isolated
the chronic ward Sixteen bodies
had been extracted from the burn---A
ing ruins at $50 a. m.
The institution accommodates
nearly 5000 inmates, and includes I
a hospital, lunatic asylum, found
ling home, and refuge for aged
and infirm persons.
The fire broke out shortly before
mionig'ht in the laundry. At first it
seemed insignificant but it spread ra-
pidly to the neighboring wards, each
containing thirty chronic sufferers or
intirm patients, who were seized with
panic. The shrieks of the sufferers
mongled with the cracking Of the
flames while the atmosphere rapidly
became dense with smoke.
Darkness Acts TO Horror.
Nurses and doctors quickly cleared
the bed-ridden from one ward, and in
the next ward three of the patients
crawled out. Neighboring firemeni
rushed to the scene, but at the mo-
ment of their arrival the electric
lights were extinguished, adding to
the horror of the situation.
As the immense wooden beams of
the hospital fell, there was a heavy.
grinding noise and the pavement coll
iapsed, burying 20 of the chronic pa
tients and rendering access to the
wards impossible.
Carabineers, royal guards, nurses
and doctors made heroic efforts To,
save the patients, rushing through
the smoke and fire and bringing out
IL, all of whom, however, We're dead
from suffocation.
Several of the rescue parties were
injured. The two wards we've des-
troyeA btt the fremen saved the
rest of the buildings. The mayor and
the prefect hurried to the scene and
assisted in calming the terror-strick-
en- patients who We're saved, and who
lay ON the floors waiting to be moved
70 the surrounding institutions.
Four patients were badly burned.
and one dangerously injured.
The hospital of Santo Spirito is sit
uated on the bank of the river Tiber.
not far from the Vatican grounds. It
was founded by Pope Innocent III in
the twelfth century, enlarged by limo
cent Nv in the thirteenth and rebuilt
under Sixtus w in the fifteenth.
The altar in the hospital chapel was
designed by Andrea Palladio, and is
reputed to be the. only work Of this
artist in Rome.
