Children’s Hospital last year cared for 30,008 children, it was announced today. The statistics were contained in a report made at the last mecting jot_the Board of Lady Visitors. " During the past mongh 374 children were treated as patients, 1,371 in the dispensary and 707 in the child wel- fare department. It costs the hospital $4.46 a day to leare for each child admitted, while the District allows only $1.50 a day for Approximately two-thirds of its patients #dmitted. Virginia allows nothing. Maryland allows $1.50 a day for all its patients, thus coming more nearly to settlement of its debt to the institution than even the District. More than 70 per cent of the cases ‘handled each year, it was said, are full charity. The hospital is the second oldest of 1ts kind in the United States. Mrs. Thomas Bell Sweeney, 2d, ‘wice president of the board of trustees #nd chairman of the finance commit- tee, estimates that the expense of maintaining the hospital in 1927 will be approximately $200.000. —_— ASKS ARMORED CAR.

In connection with the general strike agitation in Shanghai, the dis- id, efforts are being made to 1 bloctade of the interna- tional settlement so as to prevent h foodstuffs from reaching it. The strike agitation has been attributed to agents of the Cantoncse in Shanghai. Observers in London, drawing con- clusions from late dispatches from the that lhc Cantonese are likely to oc- cupy Shanghai soon and force the northerners clear to Manchuria with- out serious opposition. But they do not feel alarmed over this, comment- img that therc are sufficient forcign Tforces in Shanghai to cope with any situation, and that the international ettlement there would not be greatly affected by a transfer of authority. Soviét Sh'p Makes Issue. Seizure of the Soviet ship Pamiat Lenina by Shantung troops, one re- port says, is likely to lead to a rup- ture of relations between Soviet Rus- sia and the Peking government. Mme. Borodin, wife of Michael { Borodin, Russian adviser to'the Lan- tonese government, was among four arrested when the vessel was taken. She is charged with having plans of the military dispositions ~ of Gen. Chang Tsung-Chang, defenger of Shanghai against the attacking south- ern nationalist army. A report received from Peking by the Westminster Gazette is that Russian_prisoners taken ahoard the Pamiat Lenina, on the way to Han- kow when seized, have been ordered executed, with the exception of Mme. Borodin, who is reputed to have been born in Chicago. Protests Made to Peking. The Russian embassy at Peking in a note to the foreign office de- mands that the crew and passengers and the steamer be released. Borodin for several years has held the post of advisor to the Canton government. e is understood to dominate the radical wing of the Cantonese parties. Last month the Chicago Daily | News said that Borodin, also kmown by the first name Jacob, was a for- mer naturalized American citizen and that he had been identified as a man known in Chicago as Michael Gruz- eriberg, a Russian Jew, who lived there from 1910 to 1918, Of late there have been reports that some dissension was arising be- tween the Right and Left wings of the Cantonese government, Borodin being a strong figure in the Left wing, with the Cantonese comman- er-in-chief, Chang Kai-Sheky tending toward the more moderate wing. French Taken From Ship. SHANGHAI, China, March 9 (#).— Passengers on the French steamer Paul Lecat, bound for Japan, which went ashore on a mud bank off Woo- sung yesterday, are being disembarked and brought to Shanghai. It was decided to remove the pas- sengers when attempts to tow the vessel off the bank were unsuccessful and some difficulty in refloating her was expected. The Paul Lecat, of 7,546 tons, left Marseilles January 28 for Yokohama. Venezuela's oil developments are be- coming extensive.
