Commissioner Rudolph, chairman of the board of Commissioners, today wrote to the indorsement committee, thanking ita members for the time and effort they have applied to the task. “It is a great satisfaction to the Commissioners and, I believe, to the citizens at large, that the public- spirited men and women who form this committee can give their time end labor to this very importamt duty, which is unremunerative,” wrote Mr. Rudolph. NAVY VARD LABOR MAY GET PAY RASE A net increase in navy yvard wage scales would result from the approval by Assistant Secretary Roosevelt of a report on the subject placed before him by the wage board hemded by Rear Admiral Joseph Strauss. Mr. Roosevelt is expected to act this week, although the revised seales may not go into effect before the end of the fiscal year. The board is understood to have adopted as its policy the decision that navy yard artisans will receive the same base wage as paid to similar erafts in the same locality. This will result in moderate decreases in some instances, but the general effect, it is said, will be to increase the navy yard payrolls. At the Navy Department it was said today that details of the report could not be made public in advance of the assistant secretary’s decision, as it is possible he may make some modifications in the board's recom- mendations. It is not settled whether whether final action will be taken by Assistant Secretary Roosevelt, who is in direct charge of labor affairs in avy. or whether it will be done cretary Denby, who returned to hington this afternoon frem a to Panama and the Pacific Indications are that the re- port will receive the full considera- tion of both officials and be finally acted on next week. i Though the recommendations will be held in confidence until finally ap- proved or rejected, it is believed they vide for a slight wage increase in of labor at the Washing- ton Navy Yard and moth other naval establishments. As far as can be learned, the proposed new scale at the jocal yard and gun factory is based on current rates of wages paid by private establishments in this vicinity for skilled and unskilled labor of the same general character. Local labor organizations repre- sented to the Strauss board that me- chanies at the Washington navy yard were paid less than a like class of workmen in privately operated shops, and were entitled to an increase on that ground as well as because the coet of living in this city is higher than elsewherg. ; One officlal of the Navy Depart- ment said that while he could not give out eny figures on the subject any one conversant with the wages paid mechanics by private establish- ments in this city could get a pretty good line of the rates of wages rec- ommended by the wage board for mechanics of similar classes employ- ed at the local navy yard.

VISTING NURSE WL ASK FUNDS ‘Washington will be asked Monday and each day for a short time there- after, to contribute enough money to keep the Instructive Visiting Nurses Soclety abreast of the de- mands now being made upon it from homes of small and moderate in- comes. The soclety wants and needs $160,000, which, it is emphasized, will maintain it for the next two years; will make possible an increase in salaries to the experienced graduate nurses who are now working at & sacrifice of time and money; provide additional nurses and above all will prepare the society to handle the in- creased amount of work forecast for it by statistical comparisons in the past In April. 1921, & public appeal for $50,000 was made and the city re- sponded to the exact dollar. Since that time not even an intimation that more money was needed has come from the organization. But at the April board of managers meeting, held Tuesday at the home of the secretary, Mrs. Franklin Ellis, 1227 19th street, the condition of the soclety came to a showdown and the result was the unanimous de- cision of the board to ask the eity to recognize, by contributions, the the unequaled work which has and now is being done among the sick and ailing of the city. 1,000 Patients Helped. The report of the director of the so0- clety, Miss Gertrude H. Bowling of Johne Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore, at that meeting showed 1,690 patients were given help during the month of March and that 5,211 visits were made the staff of twenty-six nurses. These figures are a defirfite Inereat over January and February, when the | city went through a mild epidesaic of grip, and is explained in part by the prevalence of measies and also to the continuous growth of the organiza- tion_in supplying nurses 1o Fomes of small and moderate incomes as well as the free nursing service to those uneble to pay. From this situation alone it is evident that more nurses are needed to keep pace with ‘the de- mands for the service and that & ex- pansion of the budget for the present year is imperative. 1¢ the $100,000 mark is obtained, guaranteeing the full and unhamper- ed operation of the society for the next two years, at the end of that time & community chest probably will be able to assume responsibility for the health and social work of Wash- ington. Vote of Thanks Passed. ‘The board passed a vote of thanks for the nurse recently given by the contributions of the congregation of St. John's Episcopal Church and also received from Miss Cora Barry, pre dent of the Junior League, the an nouncement that her organization had voted at its last meeting to again &ive the $1,400 annusl salary to the nurse supported by the league. There is hustle and bustle in room 220, Star building, headquarters of the society at-all hours of the day.

It was pointed out yesterday by Miss Bowling that those who are ac- quainted with the work of the soclety and who desire to contribute to its support, need not wait until Monday, the official opening of the campaign, but should make checks to the order of Joshua Evans, jr. treasurer, or send cash to room 220, Star building. —_— NEW FRENCH PLAN HINTS CONCESSIONS UPON REPARATIONS (Continued from First Page.) §ER." since the Ruhr now is unprofit- able and Germany’s ability to pay any reparations is diminishing. The explanation offered of the suc- cess of the German passive resistapce is the attitude of the workmen, who, it 1s asserted, will not now and never will work in the presence of French troope. When the French and Belgians en- tered the Ruhr early in January the allles as a whole were recelving a total of 1,600,000 tons of coal monthly, of which the French share was 1,000,000 tons. It is pointed out that Italy, which did not participate in the military occupation, still is recefv- ing her full quota of coal as provided for under the 1922 reparation sched- ule. Germany has been able likewlise to continue her shipment of coal to Switzerland and Holland under the old economic agreements, separate from the reparation question. As for Jugoslavia and Rumania, it is as- pped yesterday in headquarters of the Instructive Visiting Nurse Land those who come on Thursdays. {D. A. R. DELEGATES ARRIVE IN DISTRICT ontinued from First Page.) vance and this has proved decidedly annoying to those who have been try- ing to “line up” the three candidates. It is believed, however, that both Mrs. (ook and Mrs. Hangar will dicker for Mrs Story's support on the theory that her election to a thirG term is hardly likely. Rumors have been heard that both of the other candidates are preparing to completely reorganize their own tick- ets to Include some of Mrs. Story's friends in return for that candidate's support and votes. All three of the candidates have opened headquarters preparatory to their campaign battle. Campaign Strongly Contested. A report that has persistently gain- €d in the past two days is that one of the big western delegations will put a candidate in the fleld imme- diately before the balloting begins Thursdey. She would be offered as a compromise and might succeed in completely stampeding the congress it is sald. Never before has any campaign for the national presidency general of the Daughters of the American Revolution been more strongly contested. The names of several of the pages at the congress were announced to- day. They are as follows: Page to the president gene: Miss Dorothy Hunter of this city: to the recording secretary general, Mias Dorothy Jen- kins of Philadelphia; to the organ- izing secretary general, Miss Wilma E. Davis o 5t Augustine, Fla.; to the treasurer general, Mrs. Helen K. Iredell of Akron, Ohio: to the regis- trar general, Miss Louise Carman of this city, and to the curator general, Miss Virginia S. Caldwell, also of this city. Mrs. Joseph W. Marsh of Pitts- burgh, Pa, a member of the creden- tials committee of the National Soclety D. A R, arrived in Washing- ton this morning to attend the first meeting of that committee, which was held this morning. Mrs, Marsh is a sister of the late Mrs. Henry L. Mann, who was very sctive in D.

Restoration of the Franco-Belgian devastated regions at Germany's ex- pense and partly by German labor, cancellation of the the interallied debts with & corresponding reduction in the German debt, demilitarization of the left of the Rhine under league of nations control, and the economic reconstruction «°f Europe are the main items in® the reparation plan agreed upon at the recent meeting of French, British, Belgian and Itailan Soclalists with ; i . the German socialists in Mrs. James A.

A ples for support for completion of the Unlon Protestant Church at Balboa, Canal Zone, to assist in pro- tecting young Americans from the perils of some of the “worst brothels” | in the world, waé made at & luncheon at the Gity Club yesterday, at which speakers from the Canal Zone out- lined the needs of the church. The luncheon was arranged by Rev. W. L. Darby, acting for F. E. Olcott, presi- dent of the Hudson River Day Ldne, who is chairman of the committée on religious work .on the Canal Zone. Rev. Harry B. Fisher. pastor of the Unfon Church, at Cristobal, Canal Zone, painted a picture of the ideal conditions in the American territory and then, by contrast, pointed out conditions across the street, in the territory of Panama. He said he could stand in American territory, free from vice and free of liquor, and throw a base ball into the entrance to some of the worst brothels out- side of Shanghai, China. These “dives,” be said, annually make prep- arations for entertaining the sailors of the American fleet, and the young men of the Navy come away from their trips ashore in far worse con- dition than when they left, spiritual- Iy and, in some c: physically. The work of the Union Church, he added, is being hampered by its incomplete condition and should be helped. Dr. Fisher sald he had seen some sights in his four days in Washing- ton which be had not seen in the American-occupled Canal Zone. Mr. Oleott, who has been a constant worker for the church in the Canal Zone,. outlined the character of the work of the church and made an eloquent plea for help to the church. Rev. D. G. Wylle, who was recently in the Canal Zone, told of some of his actual experfences in the zone, where he had seen American naval enlisted men forega thewentertain- ment offered them by the American citizens of the zone to cross the line into aPnama, there to meet with the “denizens of the underworld.” He sald he had found the pastors of Protestant churches in the gzone Christian, upright gentlemen, who were working with all their heart an dsoul for the protectiorl of Ameri- cans from the perils of the Panaman section. J. R Smith of the Canal Zone also told of the work of the church in the zone. e The longest verse in the Bible is the ninth in the Sth chapter of Esther; the shortest verse the thirty- Afth in the 11th chapter of St. John. ———nho 17h chapter of St. John.
