The Worlds 70 Dreadnoughts.
From Casters Magazine.


Ony four years have elapsed since the
first indefinite news of the design OF the
Dreadnought became known. and now
seventy ships. representing. in varying
degrees, the adoption OF the all-big-gun
principle, are either built. building or
about Immediately to be authorized for
the worlds navies. Among the respon-
sible naval authorities OF the world there
have been found no adherents of the me-
dium-sized battleship. The argument
in one basket, in view Of the development
of the power of torpedo and mine, has
made no converts. The belief that the
costliness of the all-biggun ship Of large
displacement would deter the less wealthy
nations from embarking upon such con-
struction has proved unfounded. The
suggestion that the heavy capital expend-
iture, which would be necessary in deep
ening harbors and channel ways and In
increasing the length and breadth OF dry
docks. i'm order to accommodate these
colossal ships, would put a brake upon
naval expansion, even i'm the richest coun-
tries has been falsified Throughout the
world the battleship of great displace-
ment and high speed has been adopted,
with the result that today many of the
new heavily armored, all-bg-gun ships
have higher sea speed than any of the
protected cruisers. under whatever flag,
which were built in the late years of the
last century for intelligence purposes or
for the attack upon or defense OF com.

The vistas Of the Streets.
However. the percentage of crooked
streets and Of those with vistas closed by
private improvements OF more or less in
different character. instead of with a
mass of foliage or a fountain or statue. is
small in the newer Washington, SO that
homes and business places amid surround
ings that are attractive are general

trict.
Notable additions to the pleasure resorts
Of this sort for the people are Rock Creek
Park and the Zoo and later still, that re-
markable stretch of lawn and shrubbery
with the broad expanse Of the Potomac in
the background. which used to be dis

Potomac Park.
Potomac Park is becoming more gen.
orally known now the band concerts are
given there instead Of on the grounds OF
the White House. 1t is all SO new down
there 1t is not surprising that the place
Is unfamiliar to large portion Of citi-
zens But 1t is getting to be known and
no doubt 1t will come to enter more and
more into the life of the people and be-
| come, as it is intended to be, great
pleasure resort.
1t is impossible. of course. for all the
babies to be- taken down there each day
owing to the fact that 1t is not near
enough to many homes. This is the ex-
PLANTATION of the need Of small parks. or
at least in part, for it is essential they
should be convenient of access. 1t is at
once recognized as a matter of general
interest and consequence that such provi-
sion should be made while the newer
Washington is springing up all about the
boundaries of the original city.

an engineering point Of view, so that
while the locality Of ''the Palisades of the
Potomac" is picturesque and romantic to
look at, 1t is expensive to handle for
any useful purpose except. of course. to
locate a house here and there.
However, the course of the road does
not pass through country that Is at all
monotonous. and there are clusters of
trees and glens and open places. so that
it is possible to get a good deal of va
riety right around ones front door Just
this side of Greenwood one gets from the
passing car glimpses of houses through
the trees. and the approaches to them are
carried on long trestles which are rustic
in character.
Upon the Breezy Heights.
In the vicinity Of Livingstone Heights
one Is In sort Of tableland region, high
above the surrounding country and yet
open to the sky, with enough shade for
comfort. but, what is better. nothing to
check the course of the breezes from
whatever quarter they may come. A
number OF new houses have been built
there. some of them Of rather elaborate
style.
There seems to be no limit either as to
the style Of house building In this To-
cality or as to the materials employed.
Wood is more commonly used although
one sees here and there a house built OF
bungalow type are also to be seen. and.
IN fact. all the various styles generally to
be found amid such surroundings. Five
miles fom the White House does not seem
| TO be great distance when one looks at
the city as 1t lies in the lower levels and
with the hills Of Maryland rising in the
background.
Country Club Location.
The panorama of the city with the fore
ground of the rolling country as it de-
scends 10 the river may be seen to ad-
vantage from the porch of the caddy
house Of the Country Club, which is a
short distance farther to the north and
less than mile from the old District
| line. The new clubhouse, which is going
to form an attractive feature Of the pic
turesque greens. Is not going to lose the
| view. which Is as much thought of by the
| members as the etghteen-hole course, II
commanding this magnificent view will
| be as generous in its proportions as the
house itself. so that 1t can be, in fact as
| 1t should be. the living place of the mem
bers when they are not on the links.
Simply because one has gotten to the
edge Of one OF the ten-mile lines that
| formed the original limits OF the federal
| supposing that the jumping-off place has
been reached In fact. the growth of the
city has consistently overlooked boundary
lines. and from the beginning, almost
residents Of the District have gone out
and made homes for themselves in Vir.
ginia and In Maryland. Their descendants
are doing the same thing. only In greater
numbers. and so one finds stringing alona
the trolley north Of the old District line
Evening star., 1909-05-08

How a trolley road can develop sec
tion Of country Is well illustrated by
the one that runs to the Great Falls OF
the Potomac, on the Virginia side OF
the river Some three or four years ago
that region was unknown and entirely
unthought of by suburban developers.
: Here and there In that stretch Of coun-
try some fourteen miles north from
Georgetown there was a country store
and a small collection of houses. Other
wise, there were the woods and fields
and the expanse Of breezy uplands that
are now the delight Of those who take
the trolley for a pleasure ride or Of
those who have located their summer
homes In that region.
OF this latter number there are many,
and apparently they are being added
TO. II one may judge from the new houses
that are seen on all sides. and the cheer
full attitude Of the railway officials, the
latter being a very good indication Of
q thriving business. One can get car
from this side OF the bridge and can
also make use of a transfer good for a
rid, some four miles out. or, In other
words, as far as Cherrydale.
Advance Of City Life.
The latter is one OF the places that
sprang UP because 1t was convenient
center for people to meet. and that is
about the explanation Of store being
there and other incidentals OF a coun-
try village. However. the effects Of the
inroads Of other modes of life and city
notions are in evidence about the place,
and no doubt after while Cherrydale
will live in tradition. but will not be rec
ogniZed in the smart suburban town that
apparently Is destined to grow up there.
However, the approach Of the town
does not make itself first felt at such q
distance, as that influence is seen the
moment one reaches the other side OF
the river. or course, there Is the COM
mercial activity that is centered at Ross
lyn. but when the car turns to mount
the hill the signs of the new life come
at once in evidence not only those that
bear the names of real estate brokers'
but the more substantial evidences which
are found in homes newly built and In
the beginnings of new community.
Lots Of Romantic Scenery.
Hence it is that Colonial Heights. run

the delegation chosen by the Choctaw
council TO represent that nation In
Washington this winter have arrived
and are here for the winter No
one has been able TO find out what
legislation they want If any. They
have not asked at the departments
for assistance In any matters. and
they have not consulted the Oklahoma
congressional delegation. They say
that they are asking for nothing, and
do not expect 10. IL looks as II this
delegation is here, not for the purpose
of securing legislation. but to keep
any new legislation which they deem
detrimental to the Choctaws from be
coming law.
The Chickasaw legislature passed
similar bill providing for a deloga-
tion IN Washington this winter. but
the governor of the Chickasaws has
not approved the expense account
and the delegates have not arrived.

(By Glenn Guernsey

Now York, Jan 9.-Another ses-
sion will be held on Monday by the
committee of nine Wall street prob
ers appointed by Governor Hughes
TO investigate the methods of high
finance that obtain among the bulls
ami bears who have their habitat
in that famous alley. First considered
as huge joke by the money chang
ers of the Wall street temple of
MammOn. the committee is now be-
ginning TO make noise like IL meant
business, and the notorious offenders
of the street are asking each 9th
er If the governor really intends to
inaugurate real shakc-up in finan.
cial affairs.
Horace White, permanent chairman
of the committee, has announced that
the New York Produce Exchange and
the New York Cotton Exchange win
first be the subjects of investigation
Later the inner working of the New
York Stock Exchange and the Con
solidated Stock Exchange will be
looked into. It is expected that the
investigation will extend through al
least three months. Meanwhile, the
wise men of Wall street are shaking
their heads sadly and muttcrins
things about "unsettling business
and interfering with established
conditions" Now that the race track
gamblers have been put out of busl
ness. and life insurance made fairly
respectable and honest. Governor
Hughes apparently believes that It is
high time for a thorough house-cleon'
ing along Wall street and it is not
likely that the fearful prognosti
cations of the financiers will deter
them for his purpose.
