LONDON, Oct. 25.-The Aga
Khan, wealthy head of millions
of Ismaeli Mohammedans, who
decided to visit Germany at the
same time the Duke of Windsor
was there making a study of
housing problems, was back in
London today full of admiration
for the Nazis' work of social re-
construction which he said is bet
ter than anything yet attempted
in England.
Il am convinced Germany is
a firm pillar of world peace"
he told reporters.
During his stay, the Aga Khan,
who is president of the League
of Nations assembly and who is
said to be anxious to bring about
Germany's return to the League,
saw Adolf Hitler at his Bavarian
retreat at Berchtesgaden.
Germany'S building effort
SurpaSses anything so far at
tempted in Great Britain" he
said. "On the social side Ger
many seems to be working to-
wards a classless society.

wonderful. I travelled consider
able distances on them and was
shown how the design has re-
duced the possibility of acci-
dents to a minimum"

DIE-HARD ATTITUDES
On the surface all was amity,
but beneath the calm demeanor
and quiet words of the principals
was an admitted determination to
hold out indefinitely for the prin-
ciples which divide them. Some
of the more important differences
which must be reconciled before
there can be a real labor peace
are:
l. The sit-down strike, re-
garded by Lewis as a major
weapon in lapor's war with rules
Of unorganized industry, but to
which Green is unalterably op-
posed, saying he will never sur
render, and against which pub
lie opinion has expressed itself
strongly in the Detroit munich
pal election and elsewhere.
2. Industrial unionism as dis
tinguiShed from craft unionism,
with Lewis holding out for in

dustrial unions in coal, steel,
textile, automobile and other
mass production industries.
3. Control of labor's money,
money, running into the mil
lions, a rich stake in the Strug-
gle.
4. Use of labor's force in par
tisan politics, a course which
Green and Samuel Gompers be-
fore him always opposed.
5. Leadership of the labor
movement with the labor con-
Servatives backing Green and
the more aggressive elements
supporting Lewis.
CAUCUSES HELD
With adjournment for lunch,
the two groups held separate eau
cuseS on their programs for later
sessions.
Both sides professed to enter
the conference with open minds,
but in this attitude they deceived
neither themselves nor others.
Peaceful pessimism" might be
said to characterize the confer
ence. Behind the scenes, though
neither was present in person,
John L. Lewis and William L.
Green pulled the strings directing
the delegates in their preliminary
expressions.
PEACE POSSIBLE
Though far apart at the outset,
it was as readily admitted in Ia
Dor councils that the situation can
change overnight, as it did while
the C. I. o. and A. F. L. were
holding their conventions. Up to
that point no one would have seen
any hope of peace between the
two bodies. Yet today they sat
down together for the first time
since Lewis started out a year and
half ago to organize steel, mo
tors, oil, and the rubber indus
tries.

DYNAMIC EFFECT

In all these events there is not
the slightest outward evidence
that the Administration has any
idea of recommending to the Sen
ate that this country join the
League-as such. If any recon.
mendation of that sort is made it
will be dynamic in its effect and
interest.

CAPITALS NURSES

After her return from France in
December, 1918, Miss Butler organ
lied convalescent home in Forest
Glen under the direction of the Dis
trict Red Cross. She was elected
president Of the Graduate Nurses
Association in 1921 and served two
years.
Hickey Of Springfield. Mass, came
directly to Washington following the
war and joined the Public Health
Service as a staff nurse. When the
Veterans Bureau took charge of the
hospitals in which the disabled vet
Grams were being treated, she was
appointed superintendent of nurses,
heading the hospital nursing staffs of
the entire United States.
Mrs. Hickeys war record is spec
tacularly heroic. She served at the
front in the Champagne sector with
the 4th French Army Corps under
Gen. Gouraud and she knew what it
meant to be under fire day after
day-the only American nurse in that
part Of France, although one other
American, an aide, worked with her.
Miss Eleanor Maynard, a graduate
of Garfield Hospital, is one of the
Graduate Nurses Associations mem
bers who remained at home during
the war to render valuable service
to the Nation. Appointed in the
Army Nurse Corps in the Spring Of
1918, she served in the War Emer-
gency Dispensary until March 80,
1919. She was in charge of the first
emergency hospital started by the
war dispensary for Government work.
ers during the influenza epidemic of
October, 1918, and remained in
charge until the epidemic passed.
THE only nurse to hold the title of
major" in the Army Nurse
Corps is Julia G. Stimson of the
surgeon generals ONCE. As superin-
tendent Of the Army Nurse Corps she
received this rank and title when a
bill was signed on June 4, 1920, which
included provision to grant relative
rank to all members Of the corps.
Maj. Stimson Is o holder of the

the Army and Navy Nurse Corps was
in Washington, the local nurses came
in close contact with the tremendous
activity going on in those places.
1t was an easy matter for nurses of
this city to get into the service, and a
large number Of them did.
So many were appointed. in fact,
that the hospital staffs were greatly
depleted and had to bend every effort
to secure additional help.
Young women eager to serve their
country were enrolled as student
nurses to replace the graduates who
went into active service. and older
graduates who could not get into the
military or naval establishments also
were employed.
NoNspecial units Of nurses were Or
ganized in the District. as was done in
many large cities, but Washington
contributed full quota Of nurses, who
signed up individually and were as
signed to various organizations.
Official records of the War Depart
ment show that two District nurses
lost their lives in service, both dying
of disease while on active duty in 1918.
They we're Miss Matte Virginia Bus
bee, a graduate of the National Ho-
meopathic Hospital, and Miss Mottie
Good, graduate of Garfield Hospital.
After the war the nurses returned
to face another problem-the care Of

his barking. He made little short, very
