Ground was broken yesterday for
the new Wilhelmina c.. Hartmann

more than 30 people who attended.
ITO Mrs. Charles Hill belongs all
the credit for the idea of a home of
this kind" Mr.. Bliss said, "and it
was she who turned that idea into
a reality. Yet you would hold
me negligent if I failed to pay hon.
age to the memory of Mrs. Archi-
bald Hopkins. To the end of her

her spirit to this institution-and
the memory Of her concentrated and
resourceful devotion will remain an

Mrs. Katharine Everett, E. Snowden
Bell and E. Francis Riggs. An inde-
pendent charity, it is not affiliated

This new wing is made possible
through the generosity of a public
minded citizen Of Washington who
must have realized, when making
provisions for the disposal of her
estate, what very useful part this
home plays in this city. To her we
render homage in the name of those
to whom her generosity will bring
ease and relief. Hers is a gracious
gift, inspired by filial love, to a work

BACKGROUND.
OF THE WAR
Digest OF War News
From All Fronts
RUSSIA WAITS

Consensus of Europe's expert
guessers" is that Russia hasn't
the slightest intention of moving
a soldier or firing a shot until
western Europe is in shambles.
The German viewpoint was that
Warsaw was going to surrender
at the mere announcement of a
German-Russian pact and that
Britain and France would make
the best of bad bargain. Rus
STA and Germany would then di-
vide Poland. Considerable rum
ors continue by which the Balk
an States would also be parti-
toned. Considering Russia as an
active military ally of Germany
and attacking the Poles at the
proper time it is difficult to see
how Poland could resist the sheer
weight of numbers of Russian
troops, despite the bad quality of
Russian command, staff and
transport. Then Turkey, too,
would hesitate to side in with the
Allies because of her exposed
Black Sea coast and Caucasus
frontier. ~ 80 Ii

Carnival License
1t was stated today that diff
ficulty might be experienced in
putting through the new $4,000
license on amusement parks in
view of the reported contract al
ready signed by members of the
volunteer fire department with
a carnival company for the COM
ing season.
Organization expression from
different clubs in the city, as well
as indicated antagonism from
most council members to any car
nival in the city next year may
provide the incentive to override
the contract reported to have
been made. Many citizens have
stated that they will fight any
carnival that contemplates OPP
Grating here next year on the
grounds that conditions do not
favor such amusement in the
city.
