Prefer Transfer of battle-ground.

The South American countries also
would prefer that the belligerent
navies fight their battles in another
hemisphere, the tangles over the use of
wireless and coaling privileges having
produced complications with Europe
Although both Ecuador and Colombia
claim that they now have taken meas
ures which satisfy Great Britain and
France of their neutrality, Chile's
declaration that German ships had
violated her neutrality has interjected
another difficulty into the situation.
These problems have been recognized
by diplomats generally from Pan
America, ahording an opportune in
centive to united action on the part of
the neutrals in asking for the removal
OF all belligerent .warships from the

MAKING EXPERIMENTS
IN STREET DECORATIONS
Pennsylvania Avenue East Field for
Try-0ut in Park Orna-

Col. Harts Giving Three Treatments
Recommended by George Burnap,
Landscape Architect.

Something entirely new in this coun-
try in the way of street decoration is
being introduced in the National Cap
tai by Col. Harts, in charge of public
buildings and grounds. with the coop
eration of the District Commissioners.
Pennsylvania avenue, east of the
Capitol has been chosen for the inno-
vation That wide thoroughfare Is
considered specially well adapted to
the projected experiments. 1t Is al
ready provided with a double line of
narrow parks in the center. bisected by
the tracks of the Capital Traction
company.

RID. OF BELL|GERENTS
South Americans Desire European
Warships Excluded From the
Peaceful Zones.

Determined to reduce the effects of
the European war on the trade OF Pam
American countries, the principal ma
lions of South America are endeavor-
ing, 1t was disclosed today, to secure
tho cooperation of the United States
in a movement that would bring about
an agreement with the belligerent
powers of Europe to withdraw their
warships from the neutral waters of
the two Americas.
Secretary Bryan today said that he
had received suggestions from various
sources that an effort be made by such
concerted action of all the republics
Of the western hemisphere. The Secre
tary added that he had this subject
under consideration but has so far
made no response to the suggestion
and he was not ready to discuss the
matter at this stage.
Extension of the territorial waters
of a neutral country from the present
limit of three miles to much larger lin
its that would permit an unmolested
coastwise trade between the two
Americas, the calling of a general con-
ference Of diplomatic representatives
of the twenty-one republics OF this
hemisphere and prohibitions which
would make II impossible for warships
TO sustain themselves with coal or
supplies in neutral waters are among
the suggestions which have been Tor
mally communicated to the uniteo
States government for consideration.

Enjoy Well Earned Rest.

Strong French reinforcements occu-
pied a considerable portion Of the British
trenches in front OF Ypres. and with their
front appreciably shortened the British
troops which ior over fourteen days and
nights had never left the trenches or al
lowed the enemy to maintain a footing in
them were enabled to enjoy a partial
we'll earned rest"
Several battalions of territorials, the
secretary for war announces, had Joined
the British forces and had made them
selves felt.
Referring to the latest phase in the
conflict raging in Russian Poland Lord
Kitchener said:
After a hotly contested battle the re-
inforced Russian troops in this neighbor-
hood have been able to check and defeat
the Germans with, l believe, heavier
losses than they ever sustained before"
Lord Kitchener briefly touched on the
Turkish interest, and said that the Rus
SLAMS success u!ly were advancing in the
Caucasus. while an Indian expeditionary
force had twice defeated the Turks at
the head Of the Persian gulf. where they
had occupied the important town of
Basra, and also were in touch with a
Turkish force thirty miles to the east Of
the SueZ canal.

mate adoption of the one shown to be
best adapted for the entire scheme.
One involves the use of a double lils Of
festoons OF vines and the two others
the use of different kinds of hedges.
The vine treatment will be tried In
the section of the avenue between 4th
and 9Th streets east, where there Is q
rectangular public reservation. Eng
lish ivy and ampolopsis will be used
for the decoration of that section, the
former between 5th and 9Th streets and
the latter between 4th and 5th streets.
Vines Trained on Suspended Chains.
Plants of each Of these species will
be planted between the oak trees now
lining the parking and will be trained
on chains suspended from the trees to
an iron post about seven feet high mid
way between them, making two loops
between the trees. Each loop is fas-
tened at its lowest drop to an iron
anchor post about a foot from the
ground. The vines are planted on each
side of the anchor posts and trained
both ways, up the chain and then
around the tree trunks. as well as
around the high supporting til ap post s,ns. be-
will be placed midway OF the park
spaces on both sides of the car tracks
and will not be dense enough to OBJ
struct the view.
Avenue side of the two triangular reser-
vations through which the Avenue passes
in order to give the desired rectangular
effect to the entire section.
An entirely different treatment is being
tried on that section Of the Avenue be
tween 18th and 14th streets. and still
another method on the section between
14th and 18th streets. In both OF these
sections the central parking will be pro-
vided with two rows Of hedges, one on
of "a n
side the line of existing oak trees Pr1vet
hedges have been planted in the section
between 18th and 14th streets and Japa-
nese barberry hedges between 14th and
trimmed to height of three feet six
inches and the barberry hedge to height
of two feet six inches. Both will have
spread of about three feet and will be
rounded off at the top.
Aim of Ornamentation.
In addition to the hedges. Towering
shrubs will be planted at the car land
ings, special attention being given to
park spaces at Potomac avenue and other
street Intersections. Nothing will be done
to interfere with traffic. On the contrary,
the idea is not only to improve the sur
to add to the convenience Of the public
using the street cars which traverse the
improved section.
Supt Gillen. who has charge Of the inn
provement, says that all the preliminary
work has been completed. except at the
extreme east end. and that the planting
should show next spring and reach Its
full development by next fall. Although
there are no similar street decorations in
this country. there are several such boule-
wards in Europe.
1t is understood that the local plan
was recommended by 0eorgs Burnap. the
government landscape architect, as re-
suit of his recent official visit to Italy.
Germany, France and England to get
ideas for the artistic development Of the
parks of the District Of Columbia.
