NEW ALUMNI HALL.
Plans for Building on New Site Of
George Washington University.


Plans have been formulated and COM
mittees are at work with view toward
the erection of an alumni hall on the new
site of the George Washington University.
The financial side of the proposition Is
said to be so promising that all doubt in
this direction has been removed. William
Bruce King, president of the George Wash
ington Alumni Association, recently called
meeting at his house for consideration
of the plans and is at present lending
every possible effort to forward the move
ment
An architectural competition for the plans
of the alumni hall will be held in May
it is stated, but 1t is known that the
general plans of the buildings are settled.
1t will be two stories in height and have a
basement SO high to be practically a
first floor. In the basement will be the
reading rooms, committee rooms, trophy
rooms, offices, etc
A large dining room will be the main
feature of the first floor proper. This will
cover an area of 5000 square feet and will
probably extend through two stories. Large
parlors and reading rooms will also be on
this floor. On the upper floors there will
be sleeping rooms for renting to non-resi-
dent alumni who visit the city.
The club house plan will be followed in
general and in many ways 1t is hoped to
make the building superior to any club
house in this city. An alumni club will be
formed, and by the payment of a nominal
fee the members will have the full use Of
the building. Contributors of 500 or more
to the building fund will become life men,
bers of the club
The greatest enthusiasm and interest is
being shown by the graduates in this prop
osition and the outlook is very rosy.

NEUTRAL ZONES IN ATLANTIC.
Subject Of Communication From DR.
Edward Atkinson of Boston.

Commissioner Macfarland has received a
communication from DR.. Edward Atkinson
of Boston. calling attention to the move
ment which originated in Boston for the es-
tabishment of neutral zones on the Atlantic
ocean between the ports of North America
and the ports of Europe. Commissioner
Macfarland states that he will bring the
matter to the attention of the Board Of
Trade, as is suggested in DR.: Atknsons let
ter.
Among other things the communication
says:
According to the decision rendered by
the admrals in the case of the Russian at
tack on the fishermen in the North sea, neu-
| trails possess no rights which belligerents
are bound to respect According to this
dictum any timid or incapable commander
of ship of war scared by imaginary enc
nies, may sink or destroy any neutral yes
sci occupied in peaceful commerce on any
part of the high seas, and may then pass
on his way without effort to rescue his VIC
tins, without discredit or dishonor, al
though not justified by any of the cOndi-
tons. While this decision may have abated
the danger of war in the case at issue does
it not open the way to causes of warfare
whenever any two states or nations shall in
fest the ocean in their efforts to destroy
each others naval ornaments?
May it not, therefore, be more necessary
for chambers of commerce, boards of trade
and all others who demand peace and order
from existing governments to support the
movement started by the Massachusetts
state board of trade for establishing neutral
zones on the Atlantic ocean between the
ports of North America and the ports of
Europe. The power rests with men engaged
in commerce and in banking to suppress
warfare by Withholding the means of sup
port. The forces of commerce have only to
be organized in order to overcome the sur
vival of the brute element in the classes by
whom wars are made
Your attention is therefore called to the
movement which has originated in this city,
now being taken up by many other organi-
cations to be carried to a conclusion"
