A number of dogs are being used in

Joseph q. Choate Makes Appeal-Fund
Is Started at Pilgrims
Dinner.

Joseph H Choate, former ambassador
TO Great Britain, made an appeal for
a permanent home for the representa-
tives OF the United States at the Court
or ST. James, at a dinner given in his
honor by the Pilgrims in New York last
night
As a result, Charles A Moore, one of
the prominent members OF the society.
made contribution of s., 600 to start a.
fund for establishing the home. a
committee was appointed to take steps
toward encouraging public interest in
the movement. Their first step will be
to confer with the State Department.
Charles A Moore was made chairman
of the committee. Bishop Potter, presi-
dent of the Pilgrims Society, strongly
indorsed the suggestion made by Mr..
Choate, and spoke enthusiastically for
the project.
The Pilgrims Society is composed of
men who travel frequently between this
country and England. It is their object
10 promote friendly relations between
the two nations.
Mr.. Choate, in his address, said:
While all of the other great powers
who maintain embassies in London have
such permanent homes, each its own
property, the United States and Turkey
alone lead a floating and nomadic ex-
istenee, each successive ambassador
hunting for a house which shall suit the
length Of his own personal purse.
Il believe that hardly two successive
ministers or ambassadors of the United
States IN London nave occupied the
same house, and I myself had to move
from one house to another in the midst

but what I maintain is that a great
nation like ours, ricn, powerful, and
ambitious, should have house of its
own on which TO float the national flag

great days, without lease or license
from Viceroy or premier or anybody
else.

Norway and Europe.

The vote Of the Norwegian pariia-
ment to dissolve the union with
Sweden is the natural, although the
much delayed, fruit Of an alliance
which has always been self-contradic-
tory, unacceptable, and impracticable
to both nations. It's great value has
lain in the advantage it offered Ger
many, France, Austria-Hungary. and
England, and not in any advantage
whatever for the people Of the Scan
dinavian peninsula
No. one will wonder, therefore, that
Norway has determined to terminate
the alliance; that Sweden's protest is
perfunctory, or that the ultimate fate
or the new nation thus brought into
existence rests with the worlds great
powers rather than with the people
who have been party to tie alliance
or their king.
This union had its very origin, in
deed, in the Interference of other
European nations. Norway was bar
tered to Bernadotte-a French adven-
turer then serving as an elected crown
prince of Sweden and commander of
the army of the north"-by the anti
Napoieonic allies in consideration of
Bernadotte's accession to them against
the French. The Norwegians had
been allied with the Danes. In the
crisis created by this bargain among
outsiders Norway elected Danish
prince to be her king, as now she Of
fers to elect Swedish prince But
Sweden was ready to fight then, as
she is not ready now, and The allies
refused, as they may refuse now, 10
recognize the new government of
Norway. Wherefore. being without
any other standing in the world, Nor
way agreed to the convention of Moss
and proclaimed "the independence of
Norway in union with Sweden" and
that same year elected the French
adventurer its king as Charles XIV.
Behind this recent vote Of the
storthing, then, lies the discomfort of
nearly a century. All the modern
reference books, of whatever date, de-
scribe as recent events" the consti-
tutional struggles against the king
and the agitation for Independent
consular representation abroad.
Neither nation has ever been content
with the union, and neither would
uow-whateyer the danger of weaken

Municipal Art in Gotham

New York, a city known to the
rest of the country as the abode of
hlghwaymen and noise, but regarded
by New Workers as the whole zodiac,
is upset over some recently achieved
decoration in Central Park.
Not long ago the community was
really alarmed because several big
dogs were allowed to run loose and
the city officials were too busy with
politics to arrest the dogs. A little
later the metropolis" opened the
subway and diverted itself with the
new toy for as much as rine days.
Then came a suit for damages inyoIy-
ing all the theatrical managers of the
city, and that was a great sensation.
because in New York murderers and
grafters rank first in the public in
teTest, the restaurants second, and
the theaters third; the arts and the
sciences being privileged to keep alive
on the crusts from these other tables.
Now, according to Harper's Week
Iy, "a number of the rocks in the
most conspicuous part Of the park, on
the west side, have been Whitewashed
FOR what purpose it is. Impossible to
guess"
Well, there are a good many expla-
nations which occur to us down here
in Washington.
First. The public authorities may
have had the whitewash left over.
Second. Maybe the same officials
who recently rented out the library
fence for advertisements expect to
"snipe' the park with handbills.
Third. Perhaps the committee on
the Dewey Arch has hit upon these
rocks as the most desirable form.
after all, that the monument could
take.
Fourth. There is probably some con-
tractor who is furnishing stone to
the city government and needs a few
perch OF marble. This Is to Washing
ton minds the most likely reason.
Yet it may be that Harper's Weekly
is right-it is right about everything
else'and this is decoration" If it
is, Washington will look on intently
to see the finish.
With whttewashed stones around
the city flowers beds, there ought to
be a few conch shells along the
drives; some coleas and begonias at
the several gates inscribed "Wel-
come" and God Bless Our Home"
