The Bridges and the Ice.

The presence of heavy ice in the upper
Potomac this winter does not cause the
anxiety In Washington that in past years
was felt whenever the river became
choked. Time was, not SO very long ago.
when every heavy freeze brought fear
to dwellers in the lower parts Of the city
and the business men with interests
along the river front While the Long
bridge stood there was never q time
that Washington was not more or less
menaced with inundation. That low
lying structure was constant source of
peril. The channel was choked by the
piers reinforced by great. accommodations
Of rubble dumped around them to pro-
tect them, and nearly every spring when
the Ice began to move there was more
or less congestion at that point II
was once the almost universal prayer of
Neutrality-suspicious. that the bridge would
be entirely swept away by a freshet. In
order to hasten Congress to provide a
new and safer structure. The present
bridges at the site Of the old one are re-
garded as safe in respect to the clear
ance of the channel, and thus there Is no
apprehension on this score. BY no means
secure enough. however. is the Aqueduct
bridge. which has already suffered se-

be used by them In the assemblage here

Iresentative of every phase Of American
activity. It will be serviceable to the
United Statss itself. affording facilities
for governmental and international meet
ings which Washington now utterly
lacks. It will provide. furthermore.
place for the inaugural ball. which forms
a most important and enjoyable feature
of the induction Of the President into
office In short. a building of this char
acter is certain to be Of infinite utility,
adding greatly to Washington's attract
iveness and to the efficiency OF its equip
ment as the national convention city.
There should be no disposition In Con-
gress to regard this proposed appropria-
ton as an extravaganza. 1t Is assured
that IL the government enters upon ehis
undertaking the endowment fund will be
fully subscribed, and thus the initial ap-
preparation will not call for future addf-
tons. This Is an exceptional case. In
which the first cost is all that is contem-
Mated or likely If the building Is con-
structed on a sufficiently generous scale
at the outset there will be no need or
future enlargements. The only possible
objection to the bill as it now reads Is that
II proposes to place the memorial hal
upon the Mall area, thus adding to the
structures already standing within tna'
reservation and in line for possible addi'
ton to it. There is no accompanying pro-
vision for the creation OF park space to
compensate for the area thus taken. In
all justice to the park plan, which forms
a vitality important feature of the capitai,
if this building is placed upon the Mail
the bill should carry provision for the
condemnation of the square lying imme-
diately to the north of the site bounced
by 9Th, 7th and B streets and PennsylVa-
MIA avenue. 1t would be absurd to put
two-million-dolla building on the park
only to have it masked from view from
the city's principal thoroughfare by
block of business buildings OF no particu-
lar significance and by no means archi-
tecturally attractive. And If this land Is
taken to clear the way and bring the
George Washington memorial building
into view why would it not be as well 10
take the land for a building site and thus
keep the memorial hall off the Mall al
together? Certainly as this bill is con-
sidered reference should be had 10 the
contemplated requirement by the govern
ment of the entire Mall-Avenue triangle
at some time or another. either for build
ing purposes or as compensation for Mall
lands used tor building sites.

The Spy Hysteria.
From the New York World.

AS a climax to the series of arrests OF
English spies in Germany and German
spies in London, Bertrand Stewart, q
well known London lawyer, has been con-
victed Of espionage at Leipzig and SEN
fenced to three and half years con-
finement in fortress. The case has
aroused intense feeling in England be-
cause the prisoner was tried in secret,
and the evidence against him is believed
to have been Of the fimsiest sort. Ger
tainly II reputable members of the Lon
don bar are taking up spying as a sport
or a patriotic duty, things have come to
a pretty pass. 1t is time for the kaiser
to close the gates Of the empire to all
foreigners. The next thing we shall hear
will be that some Heidelberg professor
or Berlin orchestra conductor has stolen
plans from the secret files of the British
war Office. II only popular suspicious
can be sufficiently excited, there is no
crime against the nationa: security that
any innOcent-looking person with a
strange accent may not be guilty OF plot
ting. II no such things as foreign spies
existed in Germany or England It would
be necessary for jingoism to invent them.
There is an immense amount Of ilumbug
in all this spy business.
