BROOkLAND,

The w. c. T. U. of Brookland hold
meeting this afternoon in the lecture room
of the Baptist Church. :,
Mr. 1. S. Hollidge conducted the prayer
meeting of the Methodist Church last night
in the absence of the pastor. Rev. VIM. II.
Chapman, who is attending the conference
in Baltimore. .-.-~
The teachers and children Of the Brook
land school are actively preparing for the
lunch, to take place tomorrow during the
noon recess, for the purpose of raising
money to purchase new flag for. the
building. This is a cause in which the cti-
ZenS are much interested. The teachers are
doing all in their POWER to make this lunch
a success, and large attendance is an
ticipated. ...,....
The Catholic congregation of Brookland
is watching with much interest the rapid
progress of it's new church, on 18th street.
Much work has been done1in the Inst few
weeks. and it is hoped that the March

was the recent guest Of Miss Sarah Willard
Howe.
Mr. R. s. Wolfe will leave tomorrow to
attend the Methodist conference now in
session in Baltimore.
The citizens of Brookland are much in
terested in having better transportation
facilities to Washington. The lexington
road is so far behind in the matter Of rapid
transit that other means are being looked
for: The Capital Suburban road, which was
to go along 18th street through Brookland,
would have gfver RELIEF, but those who had
the franchise failed to secure money
enough to build the road within the allotted
time. and. although bill passed Congress
last ,yssH to. e4tend the time as well as
the territory Of that company, the Presi-
dent failed to sign it, and 1t failed of eff
feet. The bill has been reintroduced in this
Congress but the citizens here feel that it
Is almost hopeless. There is talk of Pc
titioning Congress to extend the line of the
Columbia railroad so as to cover the most
of the route given the Suburban Company
Columbia Company anxious to secure this
extension. but that there is favorable
disposition in Congress to granting it. 1t
Is expected that the matter will be brought
Association. when those who have been
looking into the matter will explain the
situation, . . ..

MORE CARE IN FUTURE
No Information as to Experiments to Be
Given by Army and Navy Officials
Greater Reticence to BE Observed
Against Foreigners Acquiring
KNOW Nge of Our Resources.

European army and navy officers VINO
have visited the United States have fire.
quently expressed surprise at the publicity
With which all Of the operations of our war
and navy departments have been conduct
ed; In marked contrast with the practice in
Europe, and especially on the continent
where the greatest precautions are always
observed to prevent foreigners from obtain
Ing any information that can possibly be
OF value and can be concealed from them
Recently. however, the attention of our Of
ficers has been drawn to the obvious in
discretion of thus permitting foreigners
with whom we might at a moments notice
be at swords points to profit by the expen-
sive experiments we have been making in
me development of war material and the
immediate effect was the determine
ton by the Navy Department to discon-
tinue the practice of admitting representa-
tlves of other nations. either visitors or
resident in Washington as attaches of the
various legations, to the tests which are
conducted at the Indian Head proving
grounds
War Department to Follow Suit.
Now the War Department is likely to fol-
low suit as the result of certain publica-
tons in newspapers indicating a suspicious
degree of activity on the part of the repre-
sentatives Of some of the European DOW
ers. Under the regulations of the depart
ment 1t Is not permitted to any foreigner to
enter one of our military posts and take
notes OF the plans of the fortifications, but
In some cases, notably at Sandy Hook,
owing to the absence of suitable guard, it
bas been comparatively easy to secure in
formation as to the general characteristics
OF the place, though no one except the
IGpils under instructions in the torpedo
classes have the secret of the submarine
MINES and torpedo locations, and each one
OF these Is placed under oath not to divulge
it.
However. 1t was possible not long ago for
metropolitan newspaper to publish plans
or the Notifications of New York harbor,
showing the general features and the loca-
ton of great guns, and this had the effect
or arousing the officials of the War De-
paftment to the necessity of more rigor-
ously enforcing the rule intended to pre-
vent just such information from falling
into the hands of foreigners.
More Care I'm the Future.
Therefore, 1t is probable that instructions
will go to the commandments at each post
to be more careful in the matter of ad-
missions to the posts, and in addition,
there will be a more cautious editing of the
matter that is published in the official re-
ports of army officers and given to the pub
lic especially in the treatment of new de-
vices and appliances of a warlike nature
that 1t might be regarded as proper to keep
to ourselves against an emergency.

LIGHT AT BARNEGAT.
One Proposed That Can BE Seen On
Hundred Miles.


The light house board has arranged to
place at BarEegat, at the eastern extrem-
ity of New Jersey, the most powerful light
on the American coast. The present light
at Barnegat IS visible at sea for dis
lance of twenty-five miles in clear weather
while proposed substitute light can be seen
en- the heavens at least 100 miles from
the Shore. The great lens for this light Is
the most powerful one ever purchased by
the service, and was one of the features OF
the exhibit of the light house board at the
Chicago fair. 1t is nine feet in height and
has diameter Of four feet. While the range
of the light is not equal to that of some
of the big French light houses Using cleo.
tricfty, the substitution of the new lens viii
make the range more brilliant. The use
of electricity will enable the light to be
thrown, like the flash of powerful search
light, on the heavens, and will make il
as valuable as If 1t We're as high as the
tower.
