ment Committee, lis impressed with
the classic beauty of the Treasury
the Patent Office and the Land Office,
notable among the structures designed
by Mills.
"Of all the monuments in our Ma
tional Capital, the one outstanding in
silent, solemn grandeur is that which
Mills designed and which the Nation
erected in memory of Washington.
None but very great genius could
have evolved in his mind such lofty
conception of the greatness of man
and of great Nations love for that
man. I am truly glad that belated
tribute is to be paid to Mills memory" !"
The message was read by Francis P.
Sullivan, who presided.
The memorial was unveiled by Mrs.
Robert Mills Evans of this city, great
granddaughter of Mr.. Miles. Other
members Of the family present in
cluded great-grandson, Robert

grandson, Richard X. Evans, of this
city. A letter of appreciation was
read from Mills surviving grandson,
Thomas Dabney Dimitry. of New Or
leans, unable, on account of age, to
be present.
Rear Admiral Christian Joy Peo-
piles, director of procurement for the
Government. was the principal
speaker. He praised the work of
Mills, declaring he was an "inspira-
ton and example" to his successors.
Louis A. Simon, supervising archi-
tect of the Treasury'S Procurement
Division, said Mills work "breathes
the spirit of all that is universal and
permanent in beauty, undimmed by
the passing of years"
David Rankin Barbee, author and
historian, reviewed the life and works
of Mills comprehensively, declaring
his buildings here express the maj
esty, the dignity and the beauty OF
our country"

than 80 years. The memorial was de-
signed by P. G.. Golden and Harry
Cunningham.

past the ruins of an ancient castle,
is the little village of Chamery, so
small it is seldom found on maps.
1t was there we asked the pretty girl
perhaps her name was Madelon-who
serves drinks at the only cafe. where
the tiny plot that We sought might
be found. She pointed across green
rolling fields, toward dark woods
beyond.
And so we walked among poppies
and blue gentians, crossed a winding
rivulet, and assembled a gently rising
knoll. From this eminence, looking
towards the forest, we could see the
object of our pilgrimage, a solitary
grave, bit of white marble on the
green bosom of France, under the
dome Of the gray sky.
Simple Tombstone.
A low white fence incloses the little
plot where the hero sleeps. A stone
cross and simple tombstone mark
this as sacred ground. The inscrip-

FUAD WACINC
FIGHT T0LNE
King Makes Valiant Battle
Against Grave Illness
And Old Age

CAIRO. April 81. (UP).-King
Fuad, suffering from .stomatitis,
was reported sinking today after
showing some improvement early
in the afternoon. Doctors had
about abandoned hope. The king
is in a coma and is being kept
alive by oxygen.
CAIRO, April 81. (UP). King
Fuad | today fought valiantly for
life against grave illness and old
age.
The GS-year-oId monarch's i'll
ress was diagnosed as somatitis
of a necrotic nature, complicated
by serious hemorrhage. Stoma-
tits is mouth diesasc causing de-
terioration and inflammation.
A doctors bulletin issued last
night said the infection had not
increased during the last "a hours
and that the "king's general con-
ditiOn remains unchanged"
The king is attended by an i'm
pressivc staff of specialists, head
ed by the noted Italian doctor
Cesare Fragoni. Others at the
bedside, in addition to the royal
palace staff, are Professors Chez
cinsi Qtalian), Dunet (French)
and Day British.
King Fuad has been in poor
health since January, 1884, when
he suffered an attack Of pleurisy
which greatly weakened his heart.
In the following September he
became gravely i'll and never fully
recovered.
His condition became critical
late Friday when he suffered 4
hemorrhage. Prof. Fragoni, at the
urgent request of the palace med
zeal staff, flew to Egypt from
Italy and has been in almost con-
slant attendance.
The kings condition was too
weak to permit blood transfu-
sion.
The king is at Koubbeh palace,
near Cairo, with members OF his
family excepting his son, Prince
Faruk, who is in London, and his
daughter, Princess Fewkia. who is
in Paris with her husband, Fab
kry Pasha, Egyptian minister to
France. 49,.

New Type British Projectile Brings
Conference On Capital Ship Proposals

tee, would delay action on the ma
val bill, probably making it the
last important measure OF the
74th congress.
Naval officials have based their
proposals for new capital ship re.
placements on the contention that
super dreadnaughts are impregna-
Bile. One of the arguments has
been the experience of the Battle
of Jutland during the World war,
in which no battleships were sunk,
although many tons of cruisers
and lighter craft went to the bot
tom. If the reported claims OF the
British admiralty for the new pro-
iectile are true, this argument
would disappear.
Admiral VIM. H. Standby, act,
ing secretary of the navy and
chief of naval operations, has in
formed President Roosevelt of the
necessity of meeting Great Bri-
tain's building program by replac-
ing two obsolete battleships.
The appropriations subcommit-
tee has completed most OF It's
work on the naval supply bill, but
it is understood plans have been
made for the senate to write IN
authorization for the two new yes
sells after the bill leaves the house,
with the approval of the budget
bureau.
President Roosevelt has, not
stated his stand on the proposals
but his policy of United states

lished. ~. g.. ---zf.s-c -

er," he said, "priceS will 90 up
but more goods will be held.
Wages ought to and must go up
with prices. This does not mean
unsound imitation or skyrocketlng
prices; this should be avoided just
as we seek to avoid deflation and
bankruptcy sale values.
What we do seek are a great

to that objective"
