chiefly that he had written speciflca-
tions for public buildings TO favor
certain manufacturers, along with his
answers. He denied each charge and
demanded q public hearing.

ton of forcing a public hearing or

A DIARY telling of hardships and
~ privations during his Polar ex-
~ pedition, and relics Of Maj.
n Gen. Adolphus Washington
Greely, best known for his Arctic ex-
plorations, have been brought to light
since his death. year ago today, by
his son, Col. John N. Greely.
Gen. Greely started his diary In
1866, when he was stationed at New
Orleans, and kept it more or less con-
tinuously throughout his life. 1t pro-
vided q great part Of the material
which he used later in writing his
"reminiscences.
The part of the diary recording his
Polar expedition, 1881 to 1884, is the
most interesting as it tells of the pri-
vations endured by the general and
his party during the months they
we're stranded at Cape Sabine because
of the inability of the ProteuS, their
relief ship, to reach them.

Diary Kept Facts for Book.
It was from this diary and others
written by members Of the party that
the official log of the expedition was
compiled. This log is believed by his
son, Col. Greely, to have been burned
in the San Francisco earthquake-fire
of 1906. From 1t also and from the
log was taken the material for Gen.
Greely's book, Three Years Of Arctic
Service" William e. Gladstone, Great
Britain's famous prime minister, said
once that there were only two books
which he had read that kept him up
all night, Greely's Three Years OF
Arctic Service" and The Lady in
White" by Wilkie Collins.
The relics of Gen. Greely's life
mostly Of his Arctice expedition, have
been divided into two lots quite similar
in character. One set has been given to
the National Museum and the other
to the National Geographic Society

COMMUNITY CHEST
GOAL IS $1,969,0D0
Campaign Beginning Nov. II
to Continue Through
November "a.

The Community Chest today set
81, 1863 900 as the goal for this years
campaign, beginning November IL and
continuing through November "a.
The amount which Washingtonians
will be asked to contribute for the
support of the city's private welfare
agencies is $4,000 more than last
years goal of s1.S77 900. but $212 900
more than the $1,757,000 which was
actually raised.
Chest officials said the goal repre-
sented the minimum needs Of the Or
ganization's IS member agencies. It
has been approved by the Campaign
Committee and the Executive Com
mittee.
One Of the principal reasons for
establishment of a higher goal, ac-
cording to Herbert L. Willett, jr,
director of the Chest, was failure to
pay hospitals in full for the actual
service rendered by them last year to
patients who could not pay in full.
S276,0e0 for 9 Hospitals.
The nine hospitals aided by the
Chest were allocated $276, 900 for serv-
ice to patients certified to them by
the Central Admitting Bureau for
Hospitals. Willett said the large IN
crease in the number of patients able
to pay only part of their hospital ex-
penses. together with "the unusually
large transient group for whom there
was no other provision, left the Chest
in the position of being unable TO
meet the hospitals costs for actual
service, the shortage amounting to
approximately $4,000"
Another factor influencing the de-
cision to ask for more and larger con-
tributions was the necessity for re-
pairing buildings that house institu-
tions for the very old and very young.
Desire to place every dollar into
active service during the depression
years." Willett said, has resulted in
neglect of building repairs and re-
modelling which must be done If
buildings in which children and old
people live are to be kept in a safe
condition. Some of the remodeling Is
necessary in order to meet fire regula-
tions, and all of the repairs asked
this year are vitality needed in order
to avoid further deterioration Of the
buildings"
The director also said rising food
costs must be taken into consideration
in order that beneficiaries Of the Chest
| may be adequately fed.
Increased Demands Probable.
A fourth reason for the increase was
said to be the probability Of increased
demands for actual relief" Willet,
said the Government had Withdrawn
relief from about 1000 families, mostly
employables. Hundreds Of these are
appealing to the Chest for help, Il
| was said.
More public nurses. as recommended
by DR.. George C. Ruhland, District
health officer, more care for transients
more settlement work and expanded
camping facilities were listed as other
pressing demands.

Medal Among Relics.
Such thongs and grass as those
shown In the exhibit were used as
food, together with insects and small
fish, in an effort to stave of starvation.
The Congressional Medal of Honor,
presented to the general by Secretary
of War Dern, also is contained in the
showcase Gen. Greely was the third
man in the Army to receive the medal
by special act Of Congress, the first
two being Col. John o. Skinner,
Indian fighter, and Col Charles A.
Lindbergh.
The other parts Of Gen. Greely's
diary, although perhaps not so
fraught with interest as that Of his
Arctic experiences, contain material
both of a factual and human interest
character. One entry of the New
Orleans period tells how, as young
lieutenant, he attempted to make the
acquaintance Of some New Orleans
bellies, who 'high-hatted" him dis
dainfully because Of his Yankee"
Affiliations, but afterward softened
toward him perceptibly.
Other entries tell of his life after
he left New orleans and went to
Massachusetts, thence to Utah and
Colorado, where he served against the
Indians and, among other things, met
the mother of Maude Adams. Others
follow his travels in Europe and
various experiences in his Army career.
In a long life of valued service to his
country, from the time of his enlist
ment in the Union Army at II, until
his retirement with the rank of major
general, he was eminent as chief sigma
officer. meteorological observer, polal
explorer, advocate of aviation, scientist
and author.
