Washington Letter

Washington is just nov the center
Of the Worlds diplomacy. and Sec
retary Hay is the chief diplomatist.
He has won another victory. and
one fraught with significance to
every enlightened and commercial
nation. |; is none else than that no
matter vha, the outcome of the
Russo Japanese war may be, the
empire of China must remain intact.
There viii be none of the partition
ing Of territory, no more spheres
of influence !" no barriers erected
against trade. After the march of
the joint armies upon Pekin to re-
lieve the threatened legations China
was in great danger. 1t was then
that the forceful diplomacy of Sec
retary Hay stopped the ambitions of
nations to increase their holdings Of
Chinese soil. For the time China's
integrity was assured. There fol-
lowed a year ago the outbreak of
hostilities. The battle-ground vas
Manchuria territory. which Russia
had partly obtained, and all of
which she vas casting greedy eyes
upon. The powers we're asked to
use their influence in behalf of the
neutrality of China, and both Russia
and Japan we're forced to restrict
the area of warfare to Nanchuria.
So the powers followed Hays lead.
and he has the satisfaction of know
ing that his labors have met With
the acceptance of all the powers ad-
dressed. So once more, through
the instrumsntality OF John Hay.
the influence of the nations nov at
peace will be sxerted against any
partition of the empire of China.

Inc city wnlcn mas made the largest
gain in area is New York, which ten
years ago covered 81 square miles and
now covers 326, the extension of its
boundaries to include Brooklyn, Long
Island City and Staten Island having
taken place in the meanwhile.
Four American cities. all of first i'm
portance, have gained little or nothing
in area during the last ten years. They
are Chicago, with an area of 100 square
miles cit was 1S9 ten years ago.. Bos-
ton with AZ, ST. Louis with 81 and Balti-
more with 81.
Some American cities are geographic
ally SO built that an extension of their
boundaries is impracticable. Other
American cities made provision in adj
vance for the growth which they ex-
pected, and an addition to their boun-
daries has not been necessary.
A majority of the cities of the coun-
try are larger territorially than they
were ten years ago, and the increase
of population III American cities has
been general. But New York has made
the greatest growth both in size and
numbers.

kicks"

IF you have tears, shed them out of
pity for a hotel managers wife who
lives in the hotel that her husband
manages" dreariIy said the wife of the
manager of an apartment hotel to her
party of luncheon guests the other day
reports the New York Sun. THE
women living in the hotel carry all
their grievances to her and take it
out on her My private apartment
has become a sort of general kickers'
bureau.
Awhile ago the altering plant at
the hotel my husband manages got out
of order. and the water looked a bit
roily and muddy. Well, it seemed as
if every blessed woman in the hotel to
whom l had been casually introduced
rushed to my rooms TO hold me per-
sonally accountable.
Why, l wouldn't even battle my
dog in such looking water!" half a
dozen Of them told ne. with the sour
est imaginable faces-as if it concerned
me in the least what kind of water
/, they used to battle their dogs.
81 told them that my faucets gushed
roily water, too, but that l myself had
to battle in it or go unbathed until the
filtering apparatus was repaired. That
didn't appease them in the least.
didn't want to be rude, and l couldn't
come out plainly and tell them that
] the state of the water was circum-
stance over which | exercised no con-

of the altering plant was matter

do; and so l Just had to sit and listen

IT is CASTE WILLIAMS. "
MANY New Workers. Mistaken Re
garding the Fort on Gov
ernor's Island.

1t is not at all remarkable that SO
many New Workers. including not few
who are fairly, and therefore notably,
familiar with the history and monu-
ments of the city, are either mistaken or
uncertain as to the name of the once inn
pressive but now ridiculous little round
fort on Governors island. The trouble
arises. says the New York Times, from
two facts-first, that this is one of the
very few Notifications in all the world
that was named after its actual designer
and builder; and. second, that it was
named after man who. though of some
prominence in his day, was not really
we'll known even then. and somehow
failed to make for himself any place
at all in the commonly read histories.
The impression that the fort is Castle
William" is held by those who think it
older than it is. When Castle Williams
was built the people of the country were
not seeking opportunities to pay honor
to foreign potentates. and though they
had military heroes enough of their
own most of them were still alive, and
the living hero does not often get this
sort of glory. So, IS Col. Jonathan Viii
liams had planned and supervised the
construction of several defenses around
New York harbor, including the Castle
Clinton, which later became Castle Gar
den, one of the forts was allowed to bear
his name. And his name was quite good
enough for the little round fort. Born in
Boston in 1850, Williams saw in his
youth many seas and several lands, in
Guiding France, where he studied mil
itary science to such purpose that in
1901 he became a very efficient major
in the artillery and engineer corps
He was superintendent at West Point
for awhile, but a squabble about rank
led to his resignation. He soon had the
place back again, however, and with a
higher grade, so he must have been
either right or much needed. Williams
is credited with being the first to intro
| duce in the United States principles of
scientific military engineering, and he
| has been called the Father of the Corps
! of Engineers''-a title well worth hav-
| ing. In 1912 he demanded the command
| of Castle Williams 1t was refused. and
| he resigned from the army. Two years
later he was elected to congress, but
never took his at He wrote several
books on subjec Q interesting to engi-
neers and sailors. Perhaps. with all this
information supplied to them, New
/ Workers will be abe to remember that
Williams is right and William
| is wrong in speaking of the absurd little
| fort on Governors island-which was
by the way. at the time of its erection
the only casemated battery in the Unit
ed States
