ALUMNI WORK FOR CENTRAL.
In Campaign for New and Bigger
High School Building.

At a meeting of the board of managers
of the Central High School Alumni AsSo-
citation held Friday night the details or
the campaign for a new building to be
undertaken by the alumni association
were fully discussed. Arrangements were
completed for the annual alumni reunion
to be held December %.
The members, of the alumni association
have joined the campaign for new Cen
trail High School building. because they
feel that the present building is made
uuate for the needs of the eleven hundred
students now attending the institution: 1t
is claimed that there are barely enough
classrooms to accommodate, the pupils
and that several rooms. including the IL
brary. are especially cramped. Besides
this, restrooms. locker rooms and lunch
rooms which have now come to be
considered almost necessities, are crowd
ed out
In oc'ef' to bring about a concentration
of effort. a committee. consisting of prcor-
an Thom, chairman; Clarence b. Rheem,
Walter G. Clephane. John B.. Sleman,- jr,

Why Not Rock Creek Road?
the Editor of The Star;

To the Editor of The Star:
l noticed in The Star of December ii
that bill IS. 9o12) has been intro
duced in Congress by Senator Johnston
of Alabama to change the name OF Rock
Creek Church road to Putnam street.
There is now street just south of this
road, designated as Princeton, tand for
that reason there should not be two
streets in that section beginning with
the same letter. l desire to enter a pro-
test against this particular change in
name, but would suggest land l thinK
the majority of the people on the stree,
will agree with me- that the word
church be eliminated so that the full
name of this street shall be Rock Creek
road. That Is what it is commonly call
ed now, and to make the change recon-
mended in the bill would cause consider
able annoyance and confusion. As far as
the word road Is concerned, we now
have Kalorama road, Columbia road,
Park road, Ontario road, -etc.-aI beau
appear to be the same necessity for hay
ing this street follow out the alphabetical
scheme because by consulting the map OF
the city it will be observed that this road
will eventually cross all the named
streets in Petworth. namely, Quincy.
Randolph. Shepherd. Taylor, Upshur and
Webster In fact, it is q winding cOt}n-
try road, and it; should have distinctive
name of its own without regard to the
system referred to. The name Rock
Greek lread is certainly much more. at
tractise than Putnarn street with all
due respect to Gen. Putnams memory.
and particularly SO because of the beau
tiful park bearing that name. If any
change is made it seems TO me that
Spring road should be changed to Rock
Creek road. as that appears to be an ex
tension OF, this street, and at it's western
terminus touches Rock Creek Park. Be-
fore iinal.action is taken in the matter
canvass of all the people on this, street
should be taken. as; it is evideptly only
at the suggestion Of few people that
this change is. recommended. The only
fault to he found with the present name
is that it is undoubtedly too long for
convenient use. but by dropping the word
Church that difficulty will be removed.
and we will then have a beautiful street
with an especially pleasing name. and as
it is on a thoroughfare leading to Sol
,diers' Home. nobody should experience any
difficulty in finding it. Certainly this sug-
gested change should not be prejudicial
to property. AS has been indicated in the
case with the present name. .

RECENT SPEECH IN LONDON
Many Protests Against Alleged Pro-
British Expressions.
THEY MUST BE EXPLAINED
If Remarks Were Made as Quoted
the Naval Officer Will Be Warned
to Be More Discreet
RECENT SPEECH IN LONDON
THEY MUST BE EXPLAINED

Letters Of protest against the dis
tinctly pro-British speech which Com
mander William S. Sims. commanding
the battleship Minnesota. is said to
have delivered at a banquet in Lon
don December 3. have been received by
the Secretary Of the Navy. The pro-
testants are foreigners or Of foreign
descent and complain that the remarks
Of the naval officer were capable of
an unfriendly Interpretation by every
nation in the world except Great
Britain. ~. :" E.
Prior to the receipt of these com
plants, the Secretary had called upon
Commander Sims for a verification of
the press reports that he had expressed
at the banquet given to the officers and
men of the Atlantic fleet, the personal
belief that "if the time ever came that
the British empire was menaced by
an external enemy, the people OF Eng
land might count on every man. every
drop Of blood, every ship and every
dollar of their kindred across the sea"
Secretary Meyer has asked Com
mander Sims for d copy of. the speech.
and If the expressed sentiments were
correctly reported he has requested
that the officer accompany his report
with an explanation. Whatever action
the Secretary takes will be based upon
the statement from Commander Sims.
If Guilty Will Be Warned.
If Commander Sims was correctly re-
ported, it is said. he has disregardedf the
naval regulations designed to! prevent Of
Tense being given foreign countries
through the free public expression eo1
views by naval officers. especially in ref
erence to political or internatiOpal at
fairs. 1t is noted by officials Chat the
press reports of the speech showed thai
Commander Sims carefully stated that he
was voicing only his own personal senti
ments, but the prop-iety of even this
expression is seriously questioned at the
department. If he admits that he was
correctly reported. in all probability, he
will be warned to keep his utterances
free of any bearing upon internationa
alliances. and, in fact, of any subjects
the partisan discussion Of which. because
of his official relation to the United
States government, might give cause FOL
cffensc.
Not only does the department regard
the reported remarks as diScOncerting te
foreign powers but they are looked upor
as likely to stir the sensibilities of mer
in the United States Navy Of foreign eX-
traction other than English. 1t is not
believed that the predominating blood ties
between Great Britain and the CnlteC
States should be used to offend loyal cltl
zens Of other foreign descent. Such state
ments, it is believed, are likely to be re-
scented by American sailors whose anceS
tors were German, Irish, French or any
nationality other than English.
