The Navy Engineers.


IL is a very serious situation to

Ezal report of Rear Admiral Charles
W Rae, engineer-in-chief Of the
United States navy. The lack Of engi-
neer officers in the navy, he says. is
a vital menace.

officers OF the line are taking up euRi-

becoming alarming.
Everybody remembers the old row
between the navy line and staff, in
which the engineer members of the

otherwise. The agitation resulted

Protecting the Capitals Beauty.

Our toWnSmdn, Glenn bFOMH' SO0
retary of the American Institute OF
Architects, publishes in the OCTOBER
rumber of The Inland Architect, an
article on Washington as "A Logical
Art Center" Ostensibly written TO
be read in other cities it can yet be
read by most residents of the District
with a great deal of personal profit.
For Il sets FORTH clearly and i'm
pressively, one of the Capitals most
immediate needs.
That need leads to Congress. Most
of our District needs do. But in this
case it is not money but intelligent
attention that is required.
AS the law now stands, the care OF
our public buildings and the I'M
provement of the city's parks al
though depending upon the national
legislature for authority, are intrusted
to a dozen different Offices. Each OF
the departments has its architectural
branch: different bureaus design
bridges, plant trees. and choose
statues: and the parks are divided
between the Superintendent Of Public
Buildings and Grounds, the Secretary
of Agriculture, the Smithsonian In
stitution, the Superintendent of the
Capitol. and the District Commission
ers. AS Mr.. Brown very we'll asks:
What harmony of treatment can be
expected from these various individ-
uals?"
To remedy this very unfortunate
condition, it is proposed that the
artistic affairs of the Federal Gov
eminent shall be intrusted 20 cne
commission or bureau OF course,
this will occasion a wild howl-from
two sources: The hasty will cry
out against the creation of new
offices: and when they have been
quieted by the showing that it IS
proposed to abolish ten or twelve
Offices instead of creating new ones,
the friends of the men who fear to
lose their jobs will come to the
front.
But the plan is meritorious enough
to live down a weightier opposition
than that The authority it carries
is needed Immediately. Had it exist
ed ten years ago.it might have avert
ed that hideous- railroad fill across
the beautiful valley of Rock Creek al
Massachusetts avenue; the introduc-
tiOn of twenty styles of landscape
architecture in Rock Creek Park;
the construction of an Il" of car
barns at Fort Myer instead Of a
group of dignified buildings appro-
pirate 10 their use and unsurpassed
location: the ghastly whiteness OF
the Treasury building in its present
undressed state; the erection of new
monuments of artistic" interest only
TO their designers and the relatives
Of their subjects; and the conversion
OF beautiful Rock Creek valley into
c dump-walled sewer.
A great deal of beauty still re-
mains unspoiled. Mr.. Brown has
pointed out a way to protect il and
with his felIow-craftsmen can be re-
lied upon TO further his plan or any
other reasonable plan TO that end
The President has many times in
dicated his desire to cooperate with
them But the cause requires a gen
eral cooperation and persistent
pressing forward in Congress il
which neither the President nor the
architects can be expected to take the
lead. That is logically the work OF
the Board of Trade and the Business
Mems Association. It is to be hoped
they viii not neglect 1t.
