Artistic Park Arrangement Around
the State Building Sites at
the Worlds Fair.
ORDER BEING EVOLVED OUT OF CHAOS.
Plans for Number of state Build
inss Have Already Been Submit
ted and as Fast as They Are APP
proved They Are Added to the
Ground Plat.

Worlds Fair Grounds, st. Louis,
Feb. 3.-Director-of-Works Taylor,
through his landscape department,
has formulated an artistic park ar
rangement for the buildings to be
erected on the Plateau of States by
the state and territorial governments.
AS the allotments were made during
Allotment. week the sites of the
structures were located in what
seemed to be a helter-skelter man
ner, but the locations were made with
reference to the contours. The build
ings were always located on the high
ground, leaving the valleys and de-
pressions in the ground unoccupied.
The problem which Mr.. Taylor had
to adjust was to map out around
these buildings a system of walks
that would make an agreeable park
effect. The landscape department has
accomplished this end and has begun
driving stakes on the grounds to
mark the road lines.
The principal feature of the layout
is a plaza almost in the center of the
state group. This plaza, which will
be of considerable extent, will be
beautified with gardens, vases and
probably statuary. The axis of this
LIaZa runs parallel with the steel
picket fence along the eastern edge
of the grounds The surveyors in
plating the roads took the center
axis of the government building as
the starting point. The Missouri
building stands On an elevation i'm
mediately back of the Government
building, which is reached by ter
race so steep as to require steps.
The layout as devised by Director
of-Works Taylor utilizes the old park
roads which follow the contours log
ically New roads are added to bal
ance the old roads. The principal
r-oblem solved by the director Of
works was to make the layout arJlstlc
without changing the allotment or
the states. The problem also consist
ed of supplying fine frontage on
a main thoroughfare for every one
of the state buildings
Plans for a number of the state
have already been submit
ted to the director of works for ap-
proval. In all of these cases the areh1-
tects have been requested to furnish
the ground plans of their buildings
drawn to the same scale as the eX-
position map. The ground plan lines
are to be inserted on the Plateau OF
States as fast as they are received.
The plat now contains Missouri, ILL
noiS and Owa.

81 regret the enforced absence OF
your commander-in-chie President
Roosevelt, but he charged me to de-
liver to you his best wishes and his
hope and confidence in your stern de-
votion to duty. You are now enter
ing upon another stage as officers of
the navy, in the most interesting
stage of its development. At this time
there is no war, no war is in sight,
and let us pray that there will be no
war. But our people have at least
learned the truth of the immortal
Washington's advice, The way to pre-
serve peace is to prepare for war;
I'm the future you belong entirely
to your country. You have traditions
Oh tHOSe gone DelOIe, anu HeEclH you
have great advantage over your
forefathers who served IN your eoun-
try's service These splendid tradi-
tions, from the days of John Paul
Jones to the recent past, echo down
the corridors of time, shedding a
glory upon the country's history
which you are expected to uphold.
The splendid services on both sides
during the civil war are now the
common heritage of all Americans.
The noble deed of Cushing and the
heroic action of the confederate sea-
men in the improvised submarine
boat in the harbor of Charleston, be-
