Acting Secretary MacNider of the War Department has acted adversely on the proposition to erect a me- morial to the Southern women of the days of the Civil War in the Arling- ton National Cemetery. To Frederick R. Gibbs of 41 Fifth avenue, New York City, who submitted the prop- osition to the War Department, Col. MacNider has written that he had given careful consideration to the matter and had “arrived at the con- clusion that such a memorial as you propose, fine and beautiful though it may be, has no proper place in a National cemetery.” In addition to the inappropriate- ness of the site requested the Act- ing secretary added, “I feel that the act of granting your. request| would create an undesirable precedent in that it would be difficult there- after for the War Department to deny permission to erect any form of mem- orfal whatever in that cemetery. I am therefore constrained to inform you that I will not grant your re- quest without additional authority from Congress.” In making the application, Mr. Gibbs explained that the Southern ‘Women's Memorial Assoclation pro- posed to erect in the city of Wash- ington a memorial to the Southern women of Civil War days and de- sired a site in the Arlington Ceme- tery, “on top of the knoll just below the mansion on the Custls walk, just inside the Sherldan gate, not now in use cxcept as a park. o I After a 30-mile race f One passenzer became panic-stricken, jumped over AlL the other passengers and members of the crew were SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY ENROLLS. =ociety of the National an Red Cross vesterd ol & prominent in the Ameri in the Secretary’s With 363 land, the burning v AW ANL CAFES, aved.

It is not a partisan memorial,” said Gibbs in his letter to the Secre- 'y of War, “for it will be construct- ed in such a way as to be of educa- tional value. The women of the South stirred the hearts of the world with | their fortitude, bravery and sacritice.

Strict limitation on the construction of submarines or the complete elimi- nation of this chafacter of fighting craft by international ‘agreement is proposed in a resolution to be intro- duced when Congress meets next ! month by Representative Fred A. Brit- ten of Chicago, ranking Republican member of the House committee on naval affairs. Serious doubt regarding the fighting value of submarines with a potential enemy from 2,500 to 6,000 mites away is expressed hy Mr. Britten. He con- tends that the cost of one fleet sub- marine would pay for 150 observation and fighting airplanes. “The most important element in the limitation or_abolition of submarine construction, from the American view- point, is whether submarines are more valuable to our national defense than they are to other Nations,” said Mr. Britten. “The Umited States has 83, England 48, and Japan 39 submarines in active commission today, a total of 170, not one of which could cross the Pacific Ocean in peace time and not 10 of which could successfully cross the At- lantic and at the end of the trip be prepared for military service. “When one considers the tremen- dous cost of construction and main- tenance of submarines and then welghs in the balance the uncertain the program was the presentation of a clug flag. the gift of Nellie Hysong. | | The following guests were introduced: {Mrs. John (i.
