Fagors Generosity To Naval Academy.

Representative V. H. Metcalf. of Cali
foTnia. who is member OF the House
Committee on Naval Affairs, now in
Washington, has expressed himself as in
favor OF a liberal appropriation for the
increase of the navy in the Naval bill
next session. al am especially inclined
to favor armored cruisers, he said, "as
they combine, to a large degree, the
strength OF the battleships and the speed
of the lighter cruisers. These matters
ought to be left largely to the discretion
of the naval officers. as they are trained
in the business and should know what
is the highest class OF vessels. The
United States has no call for a large
standing army, but its navy should be OF
a respectable size and Of the best ships
that can be had. AS far as submarine
boats are concerned. feel that we should
await the trials of those already ordered
before building any more. The Acad-
emy at Annapolis should be treated in a
liberal manner. as in the past.

In regard to China Mr. Shafroth says:

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: As one Of the old residents Of the region
west Of Central Park. venture to say that what
is most needed in that section is better means OF
communication with other parts of the city, and
especially with the westerly and fashionable quar-
ter east Of the park. The Grand Circle and lower
Boulevard have always been. and apparently al
ways Will be- impossible places for decent people
to pass through and it is therefore necessary to
provide means Of communication through the
park For such purpose I suggest that trolley
roads should be built from the Hudson River to
f1fth-ave. passing along the transverse roads
across the park at Sixty-sixth Eighty-frst and
Eighty sixth SITS, respectively. The wretched old
horsecars, which have too long been permitted to
monopolize the last mentioned road stop the
western edge Of the park far away from the resi-
Dental quarter, and a nuisanc, and disgrace.
At one time organization known as the West
Side Association used to interest itself actively
and effectively in matters OF this kind. but as
that body has been dormant for some years past
ana Is apparently discouraged the work must be
taken up seriously by others, for the need of re-
lief is very pressing. X
