BREAD IS MISTAKEN FOR CAKE BY ORPHANS Diet of Admiral: McCully’s Wards Quite a Change From That of Russian Home. Are the six little orphan wards of Rear Admiral Nawton A. McCully, who were eating soggy black bread and getting mighty few staples at_ this time last year in orphanages of Se- bastopol and the vicinity, dazed by the splendor of Washington, its beau- tiful buildings and the general air of comparative prosperity in this country today? They are not. At least, this is the resume of their sentiments obtained through the ef- forts of Miss Dorothea Gernova, ex- pert Russian linguist, at the Chil- dren's Hospital last night, as the children were preparing to leave for the home of Rear Admiral McCully, at 1821 I street, where they will spend part of the winter, under the care of their nurse, Mlle. Eugenie. The interviewer strode out to the hospital with imaginings of a group of little children with non-pronounc- able names, goggle-eyed at the won- ders of the city. He expected to find them speechless with the glamour of their new life. And what he found, with the aid of the translator, after playing with the children for about an hour, getting acquainted, was this: There ‘are hard times in Crimea and southern Russia. No doubt about it. The bread eaten by the children here is mistaken for cake. Their meals are banquets. Everybody is very kind to them, but it's very seldom any one comes up to them and pats any of the group on the head, asking with a conglomeration of gutturals and labials, and now and then a vowel or two thrown in for appearance sake, how they like things here. That's the biggest trouble. Nobody here, scarce- ly, talks Russian. The eyes of the children are wist- ful and far-away looking at times. One or two of them may stop during the play and wander away from the group, with a sort of distant light in the ege. And the chances run a thou- sand to one that he or she would pre- | fer the ragged apron and brawny arms of a Russian mother or the rough boots and thick whiskers of a father at home to the ultra-refined surround- ings of an American home. —_— iUNION SOLDIER’S TRIBUTE. Bequeaths $10,000 to Perpetuate Fame of Southern Heroes. Evidence that sectional feeling has given away to love of a united coun- try is shown in the annual report of the president general of the United Daughters of the Confederacy, made at the twenty-seventh annual con- ntion, at Asheville, N. C., November 2 last, when the will of a Union er, Hector W. Chugch of Oxford, N. Y. bequeathing 0,000 to the United Daughters of the Confeder- acy was read. } The will expresses the wish that $4,000 of this sum be used toward “perpetuating the fame of the four southern heroes, Jefferson Davis, Gen. Robert E. Lee, Gen. B. Gordon and Gen. Jube Early,” and the remain- der of the sum to be used “to per- petuate the fame of other southern heroes.” ‘The executor named is Hubert C. Statton of Oxford, N. Y. Tbe will was executed May 29, 1920. The executor, in notifying the president general— May M. Farris McKinney—appears to have omitted to state when the tes- tator died, but from the letters, it is indicated that his demise occurred about July 1, 1920. TEACHERS MUST REPORT. Institute Tomorrow Is Important for All to Attend. Virtually all of the District's pub- lo school teachers are expected to attend the sessions of the Teachers’ Institute to be held tomorrow, School officials ruled today that all the teachers who fail to report “present” at the institute meetings will have a day's pay deducted from their salaries at the end of the month. The institute meetings are regard- ed by school authorities as part of the school work. Final plans for the institute meet- ings have been made by the com- mittes in charge, which is headed by Alexander T. Stuart, director of in- termediate instruction. WILL OUTLINE RATES. Skillgd T. 8.
