 WASHINGTON, June 18-Widows of famous men so successfully se- clude themselves in Washington that few know their whereabouts. The busy world rushes by them as they shut themselves away in their houses and it is only when che of them dies that they appear again for brief moment in the public interest.
 Admiral Dawey's widow, who died recently, once took brilliant. pal in Washington society, but had, in her later years, completely with drawn from all social life She spent hours, friends say, sitting at an upper window of the home which she had shared with the admiral, watching traffic. All about her were momentoes of the hero Of Manila Bay. She kept his room just as it was when he occupied it.
 The lives of most of these women reveal much romance. Their inter- est in life seems to end with the death of their husbands They ap- rarently prefer to dwell in their memories instead of seeking new interests.
 Mrs. William c. Gorgas, whose husband sought to conquer yellow fever, lived in Washington until her death a few years ago.
 Theirs was romance of hospital wards. Each nursed the other through siege of the dread fever
 Pictures of her husband were ir every room in her quiet Washing

SEWARD HOSPITAL DISPOSAL

Gauged by all the circumstances surrounding the birth and operation of the Seward General Hospital it is apparent that the City Council has arrived at ply safe equitable and advantageous solution n its pro- posa to lease the institution to the Womans Home Mis- siona1y Society of the Methodist-Episcopal Church
 In the inability of the city to maintain and conduct such institution it's tranference to society acuated solely by astic and the most lofty of Christ ian motives is eonsummaton which should receive the sanction of the majority.
 Under the terms of the lease, the society is given lease for term of 10 years at rental of five dollars per year The city relieved of all further responsibility for
 its maintenance and and its monetary cost is duced to the insurance the building and the Wavng of all taxes the hospital The contract offered assures the retention of Dr. A. D. Haverstock for long he to occupy the position of chief surgeon All interior repairs to be borne by the society and only in the event of the passage of law demanding enlargement changes the original structure, IS the city committed to bear further expense The city is guarded against damage actions accrung for any cause in the hospital
 There are, however, two suggestions The Gateway would like to offer First financial statement covering the hospitals establishment Secondly that the hospital board be composed of five citizens and tax payers of Seward proper Not comprised of two members, appoint ed by the council two by the society and the fifth by the four, as has been suggested. @~--
 Despite all advancement made in disqualification nothing has surpassed the minstraton of those good who have dedicated their lives to the comfort and distress of humanity. It is not native to any creed but embraces the entire scale of religious society," From this sprung first hospitals as did schools What has come afterWard is simply efforts of improvement These have been in material sense-nothng of the orig inal inspiration has been lost
 As was pointed out by Mayor D. c. Brownel, these minstrators to the sick actuated by spirit of brothery love than material gain giving added val to the service- value which cannot be computed in dollars and cents.
 The time may come when Seward can afford to main tain it's hospital monument to home pride but that time is not, apparently now.
 It is fortunate that change may be executed where by the city is relieved of burden and 1t is transferred to such safe guardianship.

RISING SUN FLAG

 FLAG IN N|ANCHUR|A
NEW FEDERATED STATE OF NIANCHURIA IS BEING
 FORMED

MUKDEN, Dec. IS. (P)-The Sun flag of China, the emblem of fealty to the Chinese Nationalist party, and which flag was once hoisted over Manchuria by Marshal Chang Hsue Liang as a token of Man churian loyalty to the Ranking government has practically dLsap- peared in Manchurian Territory. Following in the wake of the dis appearance of the Chinese Sun flag is the Rising Sun emblem of Japan.
 The Rising Sun flag now flies atop most of the large cities and the only large city where the Chin csc flag can be seen Is Harbin where 1t is being flown in conjunction with the red flag of the Soviets, forming the emblem of the Chinese Eastern Railroad.
 The formation of new Nfanchu- rian federated state under Japan csc supervision with General Tsang Shih Vi, who until last Monday was virtually a prisoner of the Japanese, as the probable head of the new federation, was reported to be underway.
 General Tsang Shin Vi was quiet ly installed as the head of the Muk- den provincial government in place of Yuan Chinkai.

CHINA AP" iRENTLY HAS BEST DEFENSIVE POSITION OF

MUKDEN, Dec. 16. (P)-Fighting between Japanese troops and Chin ese irregulars continued today in an area east of TiShling Two hundred Japanese soldiers are be- sieging about TOO Chinese who are inside the village of MahiatSai. The Japanese are using machine guns but the Chinese are able to resist the assault of the soldiers because of the strong mudwalls they are behind and the loop-holed block houses.
 The Japanese had no artillery and were unable to make any real damage against the heavy mud walls with their machine gun fire The Japanese soldiers who were besieging the city were forced to face the gunfire from the Chinese on the bleak plain outside of the city, which has been entirely de- nuded of crops. The ground was frozen and did not permit the Jap anese to throw, up any kind of trenches and as a result they were directly exposed to the rifle fire and many were wounded.

WAR DEBT HOLIDAY THROWS CONGRESS
 IN AG|TkTED GROUP
IMPEACHMENT CHARGES WERE ASKED so INVESTIGATION
 MAY BE MADE

WASHINGTON, D. O., Dec. Is. (P)-Congress rocked with a storm of protest against the Hoover one year moratorium and further debt revision yesterday as II European nations became technical defaults on their war debt payments.
 Dispatches from Basic saying that the Young Plan Committee, which is Investigating Germany's capacity to pay further war repara- tions, had decided to recommend a further moratorium on payments precipitated further discussion in official circles.
 Senator Reed of Pennsylvania, in a spirited speech in the Senate, charged that the Hoover admins tration's movement toward reduc- tion of war debts was dictated by bankers. The contention has been voiced often by Western Progress sives and Democrats but this is the first time 1t has come from a re- fsponsibies Eastern administration conservative.
 Simultaneously, Representative McFadden, another Pennsylvania Republican, made a bitter attack in the House on Hoover proposals, charging the President with losing hundreds of millions of American money at the bidding of Kuhn, Loci and Company, Warburgs, and other German-American bankers. He in-- sisted, in fact, that Hoover was elected President in order that he might effect judt such arrange mentS.
 The attack brought demands from the Republican side of the House that McFadden prefer i'm peachment charges against the President in order that investiga- tion might be ordered to determine the guilt or innocence of the na- tion's chief executive.
 Under-Secretary of Treasury Mills, in plea to the House Ways and Means Committee to support the Presidents plan, insisted the move had averted major catas- trophe in Germany.
 The Young Committee recom- mendations for further moratorium will be contained in it's final re- port. It is understood sentiment for cancellation of further debts is strong in the committee.
