PLANS ARE PERFECTED

With the erection of the new $3O0.NO

ella ation of Washington will have property.
including two buildings and lots. valued at
S450GO0
There are a dozen cities with heavier
Y NJ. c. A. investment than this, but not
more than half a dozen with as complete
or better quipment and capacity for the
practical handling of Y. M. c. A. work. The
local plant represents the maximum OF
necessary and useful appliances and the
minimum of cost for ornamentation and
show.
Only a faint idea of the plan, dimensions
and capacity of the entire plant can be
given by illustration. for the reason that t
the front elevation in the cut represents
only the new 75-foot frent in g street.
whereas there is also a 4i-foot front in
18th street, besides the main entrance OF
the present structure in G street.
Moreover. the new building being L
shaped, the frontal elevations can do no
more than picture the entrance to wing.
a little better idea of the capacity Is OBJ
tanned when it is understood that the north
and south wing of the is 2O0xIJ feet, and
the east and west wing 225x44 feet. A six
story building of these dimensions added to
the present four-story structure means an
aggregate plant of large capacity for work.
Exclusively for Juveniles.
As stated in The Evening Star yesterday
the present structure is to represent the
Juvenile annex exclusively. Here the boys
of the city will have their association build
ing for gymnasium training and class work
their various clubs and organizations. enter

ings. their ball court and swimming pool
and bowling alleys, all properly managed
with competent instructors. without being

The boys of given high school class OF
of given factory or business house may

foot ball club. the checker chess club
the debating or art club may each have its
club rooms for these boy members as have
the men in the main building, and in the
getting up of receptions and all sorts OF en-
teriainments the boys will have their ex-
elusive club building under the best of pos.

FRANCE Will BE NEUTRAL.

Has Left French Port.

redo boat destroycrs, which have been
disarned and viii be detained until
the war ends. have left Jibutil. French
somaliland. reached Toxic today and
produced feeling OF general sat!sfac-
ton.
The government is confident Of the
intention OF France to refrain from
permitting Russia TO use Its ports as
bases for naval operations. but is con-
cerned over the long delay OF the flo-
tilla at Jubitil, and has made represen-
tations to France on the subject. Reaf-
firmation of French neutrality Is high
Ily reassuring to the present diplomatic
situation. 1t is the opinion here that
maintenance OF the neutrality of Orien-
tai ports is extremely advantageous to
Japan, as it assures her mastery OF the
naval situation, and limits the Russian
source of supply to the trans-Siberian
railroad.

London, Feb. 22.-The latest advices
Of Japanese Minister Hayashi lead hin,
20 believe the Japanese troops may
now wait possibly two or three months
before undertaking aggressive opera
tions In Manchuria.
Baron Hayashi does not credit the
report that $500 Russian soldiers have
teen killed in an outpost engagement
at the Yalu river. He says there is nc
Japanese force In that vicinity large
enough to infiict such a loss.
The only naval development Baron
Hayashi expects In the near future Is
a possible attack on the Japanese feet
by the powerful Russian torpedo fo-
tilla at Port Arthur and hitherto un-
used. On the Japanese side. except
possible actions against the Russian
vladivostok squadron, the minister
does not look for developments at pres
ent, believing Admiral Togo will be
satisfied to keep the disabled Russian
squadron prisoners at Port Arthur

far east was gesetted this morning.
With the possible exception OF Cen

general OF Kleff, and later member of
the council OF state. General Kuropat-
kin Is the most popular man in the
Russian army. AS buff old soldier
who has fought his way up from the
bottom to be minister OF war. he Is
the ideal of the enlisted men. Not

No one meeting the short, sr!zzled
warrior in his charming home on the
sunny side OF the Moika would guess
the extent OF his power or the burden
of responsibility weighing on his shoul-
ders. AS minister OF war he was con-.
sid.reti just cinies. who gave rewards
and administered punishments without
fear or favor. 1t Is small wonder,
therefore. that the Russian army
adores him.
The appointment has been received
with enthusiasm and his leadership in
spires confidence that Russian arms

Some Phases Of the War Situation
That Cause Alarm.

st. Petersburg. Feb. 22.-There 10
one feature Of moment. and on ex-
tremely serious one, taken with regard
to the prospect OF international COM
plications. There Is the best authority
for the statement that, in spite of the
ridicule cast upon the idea from yari-
GUS sources. once again the porte has
lent a willing ear to the diplomatic
suggestions of Russia that the Black
seq fleet should one day be found un-
expectedly in the Mediterranean. Tur-
key being assured that this once ac-
complished not one OF the powers
would have word to say in objection.
and II they did Russia would be an
swerable.
One difficulty, however. lies in the
way OF an arrangement by which on q
given might the Dardanelies should
with true oriental carelessness be left

lance neglected. the splendid mine eys-

sage can be blown into the air forgot

Abdul Halnid seeing the big service
in his power to concede, exacts in re-
turn terms which. much as Russia
would like to get the splendid Black
sea squadron out. are almost more than
this country eau digest-namely: that
Turkey be given free hand in set

Such esress from the Black sea

ty-five torpedo boats. force which
would turn the vital question of the
command of the sea in the far east in
favor of Russia.
This is the secret of why Admiral
Scrydloff, the bulldog" Of the Russian
navy, and its most intrepid. most dar-
Ing leader, was lately hastily sent Tor
to come to st. Petersburg.
The first intention was to appoint
scrydloff to command the far cas-,
squadron, but the disasters at Por.
Arthur rendered his going there use
less and at the same time emphasized
the essential necessity OF getting the
valuable Black sea squadron relieved.
Hence Scrydloff hurried back 10
Odessa, where he was received with
enthusiasm, showing fully that tho
people there clearly understood the
Importance Of the mission he might be
called upon to carry out.
