MACNIDER REJECTS MEMORIAL
PLAN FOR WOMEN OF SOUTH in '6l
Finds Project Would Have ''No Proper Place. a,
Arlington in Reply to New Workers. Proposal.
''WOuld Establish Precedent

Acting Secretary MacNider of the
War Department has acted adversely
on the proposition to erect q me-
mortal to the Southern women of the
days of the Civil War in the Arling-
ton National Cemetery. To Frederick
r. Gibbs of IL Fifth, avenue, New
York City, who submitted the prop
osition to the War Department, Col.
MacNider has written that he had
given careful consideration to the
matter and had arrived at the con-
clusion that such a memorial as you
propose, fine and beautiful though it
may be, has no proper place in a
National cemetery
ness of the site requested the Act
ing secretary added, IT feel that
the act Of granting your. request
would create an undesirable precedent
in that it would be difficult there.
after for the War Department to deny
permission to erect any form of mem
orial whatever in that cemetery.
am therefore constrained to inform
you that l will not grant your re-
quest without additional authority
from Congress.
In making the application, Mr..
Gibbs explained that the Southern
Women'S Memorial Association pro-
posed to erect in the city of Wash
ington a memorial to the Southern
women of Civil War days and de-
sired site in the Arlington Gene

BRITTEN TO SEEK
BAN ON SUBMARINES
Will Introduce Measure in House
to Eliminate or Curtail
Number of Craft.

Strict limitation on the construction
of submarines or the complete ehmi-
nation of this character of fighting
craft by international agreement is
proposed in resolution to be intro
duced when Congress meets next
month by Representative Fred A. Brit
ten of Chicago. ranking Republican
member of the House committee on
naval affairs.
Serious doubt regarding the fighting
value of submarines with a potential
enemy from $500, to 5000 miles away
is expressed by Mr.. Britten. He con-
tends that the cost of one fleet sub
marine would pay for $50 observation
and fighting airplanes.
The most important element in the
limitation or. abolition of submarine
construction, from the American view
point, is whether submarines are more
valuable to our national defense than
they are to other Nations" said Mr..
Britten.
1.-The United States has SO, England
48, and Japan 80 submarines in active
commission today, a total of ITO, not
one of which could cross the Pacific
Ocean in peace time and not 10 of
which could successfully cross the At
lantic and at the end Of the trip be
prepared for military service.
when one considers the tremen-
dous cost of construction and main
tenance of submarines and then
weighs in the balance the uncertain
value of these outlaws of war he Won
ders why the nations have not long
since agreed to abolish them"

ARMORY IS BANNED
IN BUILDINGS BILL
Congress Would Not Permit
Inclusion, Smoot Tells
Gen. Stephan.

Provision for an armory Tor the
National Guard Of the District OF
Columbia viii not be included in the
proposed public buildings bill to come
up at the next session of Congress.
Senator Reed Snoot, chairman of the
Public Buildings Commission. has in
formed Maj. Gen. Anton Stephan
commanding the local militia. it was
learned at National Guard headauar-
ters today.
Senator Smoot is represented as
taking the position that a National
Guard armory is a strictly local
proposition and has no proper place
in a general public buildings bill. He
pointed out to Stephan and Capt. p.
q. hewitt, who accompanied the gen
eral to the conference. that commit
tees of Congress would not stand
for it,
Gen. Stephan plans now, it was said.
to go before the Board of Commits
sioners as soon as Col. ]. Franklin
Bell returns to duty and make a
strong plea for them to recommend
provision for an armory in the Dis
trict of Columbia appropriation bill.
The local Guard has again been in
formed by the trustees of the Stilson
Hutchins estate that the local r,ili.
tary organization must give up its
present quarters, at 472 l. street, OH
June 80.
The measure providing for a local
armUry was held up by the House and
Senate District committees last year
because of representations from the
Bureau of the Budget that it was
not in conformity with the Presi.
dents huilding nrogr3m R1It op fbie
point it was said that Senator Sinoot
was of the opinion that the budget
should not be concerned in a matter
of this kind. He took the position
that if the local taxpayers supported

the past, the armory should be pro
yided

Heretofore the substation at Ten

mortal is estimated at 100000, and
the plans are to be submitted to the

1T is not partisan memorial" said
Mr.. Gibbs in his letter to the Secre-
tary of War, "for it will be construct
ed in such Il way as to be of educa-
tional value. The women of the South
stirred the hearts of the world with
their fortitude, bravery and sacrifice.
This memorial is designed to present
this moral for the coming generation"
. One of the larger public parks in
Washington, preferably Rock Creek
Park, may eventually be selected as a
site for the memorial. If the necessary
authority Is obtained from Congress.

URGES LICENSING
REALTY BROKERS
Speaker Declares D. C. May
Become Mecca for Ban
ned Sharps.

With the ma jority of States having
adopted. or preparing to adopt, a real
estate licensing law, the District of
Columbia is in danger Of becoming a
dumping ground for irresponsible
brokers unable to do business in other
parts of the country unless 1t pro-
Tects itself with u similar law. Brig.
Gen. Nathan W. MacChesney, general
counsel for the National Association
of Real Estate Board, told a gathering
Of several hundred real estate men
and prominent business and civic lead
.srs here in the Wardman Park Thea
ter last night.
Gen. MacChesney. who is the
author of the MacChesney act for the
licensing of real estate men and con-
troll of real estate practices, now a law
in % States and before the legislatures
of others, told his audience that on
october | the statute became effective
IN Florida. AS a result, he said, thou
sands of irresponsible brokers, some
with criminal records, have been
stopped from dealing with the public
there.
Warns of Menace.
With the States fast driving the
stick salesman and the irresponsible
real estate man from business, unless
the District of Columbia does some
hing to protect itself ii will soon be-
come the dumping ground for all the
crooks and schemers who cannot do
business in the rest of the country"
declared Gen. MacCheSney.
: The speaker explained that the law
would not bar men from the real eS
tate field except on the grounds that
hey were incompetent or improper
persons to conduct such a business.
lie praised highly the local Real ES
tate Board. under whose auspices
The meeting was held. and added:
Efforts throughout the country to
have adopted real estate license
law are the most sincere attempt ever
set forth by any business to get rid
"f its own abuses and To serve the
public"
Gen. MacChesney said the public
would be the chief benefactor OF such
q law, which would prevent any man
i'll the real estate business from MAX
ing misrepresentation or using fraudu-
lent or improper methods or false
advertising.
Provides 4 Commission.
The law provides for the establish
uent of a real estate commission to
grant licenses to conduct Il rea. es-
rate business, act as a board OF ap-
peal for the purchasers who feel they
