He pointed an unsteady finger in my

At the same time Fritz leveled his

performed the like office for my twin.

Fritz

The searchers coolly and method

that the game was up. And so it

The Salvation Army's camp for
mothers and children at Patuxent,
Md, will be enlarged this Summer if
the organization present drive for
a relief fund of $4,000 reaches its
goal it was announced today by
Adjt Ernest r. Holz, director of the
campaign. Plans already are being
made to open the camp. The demands
for admittance far exceed its capacity.
Contributions are still pouring into
the fund, and Adjt. Holz is confident
that the $4,000 will be raised before
the campaign closes April IL. The
cash in hand after the first two days
of the drive amounted to $4,000 with
$1,000 additional in signed pledges.
This is in addition to the $4,000
pledged by the advisory board of
business men conducting the drive,
and $1,000 pledged by the guests Of

Among the contributors yesterday
were Chief Justice William Howard
Taft and Mrs. Taft. A former service
man was another. He sent IS with
the following letter: II remember
your good work in France and have
had occasion to see some of your good
work in Washington. L wish 1 could
give more, for L know there is no
worthier cause. L hope the drive

Brig. William H Barrett, COM
mander OF the army in Washington,
is elated over the results of the first
three days of the campaign. In my
% years of Salvation Army officer
ship" he said, II have never seen
drive taken with more enthusiasm
than the present campaign. 1t has
been my pleasure to interview num-
ber of Washingtons leading citizens
and all speak in glowing terms OF the
salvation Army. 1t is surprising to
one who wears the uniform to learn
how the Salvation Army has touched
so many lives"

The only person in Geneva who

Northeast Citizens Group
Hopes to Find Support
for Hospital

The Northeast Washington Citi-
zens Association today is planning
a campaign to prevent the closing
OF Casualty Hospital, now showing
4 monthly deficit as high as $1,5OO.
it was announced today by George
II. Aschenbach, secretary.
Continuance of Casualty Hospital
Is one of the real civic needs of
northeast Washington, Mr.. Aschen-
bach declared. He denied reports
that northeast citizens have re-
fused to support the hospital, de-
olaring that for seventeen years the
association has supported the hos
pital.
During the past two years, since
control of the hospital was taken
over by Emergency Hospital Off
Gals, Mr.. Aschenbach said, his asso-
citation has turned over to the hos
pital the entire proceeds Of its an
nuaI benefit dance.
Plans for even further support
of the hospital by the association
will be made at meeting October
2, Mr.. Aschenbach said. The hos.
pital board of directors is expected
to meet about the same time to
discuss the future policy of the
institution.
Closing of the hospital will be-
come necessary unless the private
patronage. now the principal chan
mel for revenue, can be increased,
hospital officials hold. Recently the
entire third floor of the hospital
was vacant, although other hos
pitfalls throughout the city were
crowded. it is reported.
