London, July Spencer Churchill, first lord of the admiralty, introduced supplementary naval appropriation of $5,000,000 in the House of Commons this He declared the direct cause of the increase in expenditure of the British navy was the new German navy law favoring the increase in the striking force of ships of all classes. The effect of the new German navy law would, he said, be that nearly fourfifths of the entire German navy would be maintained in full permanent commission and instantly ready for war. "Such preparation is remarkable, and as far as I am aware finds no example in the previous practice of modern naval powers." he continued. Mr.

The Greeks of Washington are prepar-1 ing to send a delegation from the local branch of the Pan-Hellenic Union to attend the meeting of the general assembly of the organization, to be held in Boston next month. The society.

was organized several years ago by the late Dr. Anagnostopoulos, superintendent of the deaf and dumb institution at Boston, and a son-in-law of Julia Ward Howe. After the death of Dr. Anagnostopoulos, the Union was reorganized by Caromilas, former minister from Greece to this country. He was assisted by Rev.

Jioakim Alexopolous. The society is educational as well as benevolent. It is probable that the Union will assume a political stand at the meeting of the general assembly, and pass resolutions indorsing some one ticket. "I am very sorry," said Dr. John stas, a prominent physician and member of the Unoin, of 1111 Massachusetts Avenue Northwest, lest night, "that I was misquoted the other day as saying that gambling was a national trait of Greece.

Widow of Indian Fighter Loans Collection to National Museum. WEDDING GARMENT SHOWN The hall of history in the National Museum has recently received an interesting collection, consisting of articles donated and lent by Mrs. George A. Custer, widow of Brevet Maj. Gen.

George A. Custer, U. S. A. Gen.

Custer is immortally remembered by his achievements in the many Indian fights in which he participated, and by his record as an Indian scout. The collection includes a memento of this phase of his career, in the form of the white buckskin coat in which he has been most often pictured as a plainsman and scout. This coat is in excellent condition and looks as if the general had just removed it and hung it up. It has deep collar and slashed cuffs buckskin and is heavily trimming. fringed The pockets are made much as in modern sporting coats, while the buttons are of the regular army pattern of the period.

This coat calls to mind the services which Gen. Custer rendered to the government in the campaigns against the Sioux in 1875 and 1876, in the last of which, the battle of the Little Big Horn, he met his death. Accompanying the coat is a yellow plumed cavalry helmet and a buckskin gauntlet, both worn during his active service against the Indians from 1866 to 1876, while leutenant colonel, Seventh Cavalry, U. S. A.

There is also a blue regulation army officers' coat, with two starred straps, plush collar and cuffs--the coat which he wore on the occasion of his marriage to Miss Eilzabeth Bacon, February 9, 1864. A straight cavalry saber of tremendous size is also included in the collection. It was a spoil of war captured by Maj. Drew, who presented it to Gen. Custer, since he knew no other able to wield such a large weapon.

has a man, Toledo blade, on which is engraved in Spanish, "Do not draw without cause and do not sheath me without Virginia Flag on Display, A Virginia State flag, a prize of the general's personal prowess, captured by him in 1861, when a lieutenant, is also on display. It is supposed to be the first standard captured by the Army of the Potomac. One object of great historical significance, though rather an unromantic nature, is half of a white towel which figured conspicuously in the bastle just preceding the surrender of Gen. Lee at Appomattox. It seems that while Gen.

Lee had gone to the rear of the Confederate lines to secure an Interview with Gen. Grant, leaving Gen. Longstreet in command, Gen. Gordon's division became hard pressed by the enemy and called on Longstreet for assistance. Not being able to furnish assistance at that time Longstreet sent his inspector eral, Maj.

R. M. Simms, to sugges: to Gordon the sending of a flag of truce to the Federals, requesting 3 suspension of hostilities pending the interview between Lee and Grant. Following this suggestion Gordon at once dispatched Simms to Federal Commander Sheridan with this request. As Maj.

Simms galloped toward the lines of the Federals he searched his haversack for something while to cover his advance, but found only a towel. This he drew waved above his head as he approached the The Union soldiers sight of the white towel, held their fire, and under this improvised flag, Simms was allowed to enter the lines, where he waS met by Col. Whittaker and taken to Ger. Custer, was in command of that part of the field. Strange Memorial.

Neither of these officers, however, cared to declare a temporary cessation of nostilities just then, feeling that they had the advantage of the fight and held the Southern army at their mercy. 80 Simms was obliged to return to his own lines without accomplishing his purpose. He left the truce towel in the hands of Col. Whittaker, who took half of it and gave the other portion to Gen. Custer.

It was only after the inciden: just mentioned that Sheridan and Gardon met and established a temp nary truce, which held until the conf: between Grant and Lee terminated the war. Most important among this collection of war relics is a little oval table of wood, much battered and scarred, on which Gen. Grant wrote the letter containing the terms of the surrender of Gen. Lee at the home of Wilmer McLean, near Appomattox Court Va. Immediately after this House, event the table was purchased by Gen.

Sheridan and given to Gen. Custer as a present for his wife. Gen. Sheridan's letter of presentation, dated April 10, 1965, the day following the surrender, which is included in the collection, corroborates this statement. The collection also includes from piece of conch shell, pin made a once a button the coat of Gen.

presented by a relative of the Washington, to Custer. Later Custer general in gold had it mounted for his wife, who wore it for many years as a brooch. REFUGEES IN DIRE STRAITS. Reports Indicate Alaskan Volcano Sufferers Are Without Food. Anxiety is being manifested by officials of the Treasury Department over the failure of Congress, so far, to grant the request made by the President in a special message, several weeks ago, for $100,000 to provide for the relief of the several hundred persons who were rendered homeless and without food by the volcanic disturbances on Kodiak Island, Alaska, early in June.

Capt. Perry, commanding the revenue cutter Manning, which was despatched to Kodiak Island from the Behring Sea seal patrol, reported by cable from Seward, Alaska, yesterday the inhabitants are experiencing severe suffering, which is rapidly growing more acute.
