. (By tTnlted Wewi)
Boston, Nov. 25. The Puritans were
the original communists and socialists,
but their communistic 'venture ' failed
after i three years;' trial, ust as It is
failing in Russia, today. -
So declared the-Reverend Alexander
Mann, rector of. Trinity church, to 100
descendants of Puritans, who met here
In memory of the 302d, anniversary of
the signing of the Mayflower compact
at Cape. Cod Bay, now Frovtncetown,
Mass. .- ; -; --f'';:. '
Dr. Mann also declared "this country
has gone mad lately on the Question
of legislating people into a moral state.
"It can't be- done," he added. "People
must have . inculcated into them - the
Puritan's - sense of responsibility, -r
"Take the present 'day complacent
school . history and examine the Puri
tan books and you will find the Puri

gossip ' and dissension as . exists - in

"But courage, faith,v patience and
hope were the weapons with-which the
Puritan won bis battles.".; ; ;
It was announced- that the-17 state
societies of - Mayflower ' descendants
now include over 7000 persons.. :? ; j
Scoring- the smug and pessimistic at

clared that "no ; people , have -a i right

Three Million Homeless, Hungry
Youngsters Look to America
This Winter.
(Br DnitMi Ntwi.) .
New York, Nov- 25. More than three
million Russian children, homeless, their
parents dead or lost, will be dependent
upon America for the bare necessaries
of life this winter, according to Walter
Lyman Brown r tof the-. American relief
administration. who, has just returned
from Russia, after a thorough investi
gation of conditions there.
Although the : food situation is bet
ter than it was last winter, when the
relief administration fed - more than
ten million people, whole districts will
be on starvation r rations again tiiis
year. '..;- - ' -
The American organisation has de
cided to devote all its efforts to help
ing children, who are being picked up
ae they wander, helplessly about the
country, ejd sent to homes.
These homes are - maintained by the
government and are almost totally in
adequate. There are: no heating, sys
tems, the food is scarce and cold, and
the children, having virtually , no cloth
ing, wrap - themselves in all sorts of
rags in a vain endeavor to keep from
freezing to death. : Tbe - winter Is al
ready , well advanced in Russia.
Brown- described these "homes" viv
idly. There - is almost no furniture
and the children sit in huddled groups
on the floors, as close to each other
as possible. The windows are broken,
covered with board and stuffed with
rags, so that little light enters the
dreary interiors, 'a- ..
In the district of " Baxuluk, where
there was a. drouth, 25,000 people are
denendent " on i outside" aid, while . in
other districts, where the crops were
good, -there is more grain than is need
ed. If food could, be quickly moved
from one place to another," Brown .-declared,
the situation would be greatly
improved. . v;';t;:.

"What la that?; strangers ask when
they come to town, pointing to- where :
the great building gleams through the
mist or basks in the sunshine. -
The building can be seen from any
where, on the east side end is hidden
from view only - on the extreme west
side, where the heights at the head of
Broadway r intervene. - It has the appearance-of

Port landers are beginning to take
pride in pointing It out to strangers,
but few have gone up the hlU to in
spect It at first hand.- So the commie- "
sloners decided on open house today,,
especially since the finishing touches
are being put on now and patients will
be moved in t within ! three months.-
The new hospital has been a: storm
center, politically speaking, since the
project was begun. , The old hospital,
a bullt-over frame residence at the foot
of Marquam hill, became a disgrace to
the community, with grand Jury after
grand - jury recommendnig that - the ;
county replace it. -
: The commission " wasr. divided, ' some
favoring a new building at the foot of
the hill, at Second and Hooker streets,
where the present hospital stands. ;
OFFEBED SITE - - , -
The county, however, was offered a
site, free, on the top of the hill, near,
the University ' of Oregon medical -school,
and County Commissioner Ru
fus C. Holman Jed the fight for this
choice. He finally prevailed, and in
spite of criticism and wild rumors, the
work has progressed steadily. '
Yes, sir." Holman said Saturday, in
speaking of the reception. "Not since
I was host at my first birthday party
have I anticipated for appreciated an
occasion as much a this.' .
County officials,' architects and con
tractors will be In attendance to eon
duct parties through, the building and
over thA grounds, explaining the ar
rangement and system. of the new hos
pital, arid, to the best of their abUlty,
answering all questions.
The Aiew hospital will " have room
for tbe first 260 beds ready In three
months. The .building .was . designed
in such a way as to. allow for two '
new wings when the necessity arises,
which will increase the capacity to a
total of 600 beds.
STAFF 18 LABOK
When It is opened for patients, it Is
estimated that the 1 cost of construc
tion and equipment ajid the landscape
work on the grounds will reach a to
tal of f 1,100,000: ' . . '
Kvery modern convenience for , the
treatment and care of patients - has
been' installed in the new building. t.
; In addition to the corps I attend
ants to care for the via i tor today, the -University
of - Oregon medical- school

ment heads and Instructors who wish

Holman. "It is not f generally known
what - a magnificent institution has
been placed there on "the hill, and we
want it Inspected and understood, for
this alone will bring appreciation."

Therefore the Secaucus town coun

Fred GurteL ene of the leading' citi

want to settle here don't - even look
Into our possibilities, because the name
suggests nothing but cheap humor."
