ASTROLOGY AND WAR.
A Prophecy Which May BE Inter
preted as Preferred.

(From a Letter to the n. Y. Sum-
A prominent German of this city
showed to an officer of one OF our
important banks an interesting horo-
scope that was made in 1929 by an
astrologer for Emperor William, the
grandfather &C the present Kaiser
Of Germany, and said that the pre-
diCtions contained in it were more or
less known throughout Germany.
The earlier William asked if he
would be King of Prussia. For an
answer the astrologer took the
figures 1929 (the year OF the consul
tatiom and arranged them in the
following manner.

GEORGETOWN and the Bridge.

The people of Georgetown are naturally
concerned regarding the proposition to
replace the Aqueduct bridge with a new
one on a different site. and, particularly,
one at a considerable distance east of
the present position. They are to have
a meeting at which this opposition is
to be expressed. Such a meeting will
be doubtless beneficial. for it will per-
nit a full discussion of the matter and
perhaps clear up some doubt with
reference to the situation.
AS the case now stands. the Commits
sioners are on record emphatically ap-
proving the suggestion Of a new bridge
but favoring a different position on ac-
count of the difficulties involved at the
present northern terminus. where the
physical conditions inevitably cause
serious congestion. In this connection
site has been suggested short dis
tance to the east. where there Is more
space for an approach. There Is fur
thermore a suggestion. not official in
any sense, and, as it turns out. not tc
be accredited to the War Department
that a commercial bridge be established
running from tho foot Of G or H
street to Rosslyn across Analostan Is
land. A bridge at the latter position
could not in any sense be replace,
ment of the Aqueduct bridge. and II
erected would be an additional equip.
ment to meet the demands Of an in.
creasing traffic. But as against this
position rises the objection that it is
too close to the proposed memorial
bridge site for present contemplation
No consideration avails to lessen the
Evening star., 1914-07-13

demand for the memorial bridge. both
as a matter of sentiment and as
practical measure.
In these circumstances it would seem
to be course of justice and WISDOM
to find a site in Georgetown giving
the best possible approach with the
least congestion and with the least dis
turbance of present conditions. ignoring
for the present the proposal to erect
bridge at the foot of G or II street
and proceeding without further delay
to the erection of the memorial bridge.
If in the years to come the necessity
arises for an additional bridge, the site
now suggested at the foot of G or Fl
street would perhaps satisfactorily
meet the traffic demands.
The protest of the Georgetown citi-
zens against a radical disturbance of
their present situation is reasonable,
and 1t is entitled to the fullest con-
sideration.

Capital to Be Proud Of.
From the Chicago Herald.

From the Chicago Herald.
| A dispatch from Washington calls at
tention to the fact that Wednesday was
! the 122d birthday of the nations capital,
The nations capital has certainly
grown to be something for the nation to
be proud Of in that time. Every good
American who can do so ought to go
to Washington some time or other and
see just what sort Of a seat of govern
| ment his country has.
| He will See a collection of monumental
buildings which would be a credit to the
| Oldest and richest European capital He
| will see a city frankly devoted to the
realization Of a great ideal of municipal
beauty and, what is more. In fair way
| to realize it.
! He will also find an atmosphere that is
unlike that of any other city in the coun-
try-an atmosphere of ease and expansive
ness, which the commercial and manu-
featuring city must ever lack. Far from
the rush and fret and frenzy of other
| cities Is the calm content of Washington.
| He will be particularly struck by the
| uniform friendiness he meets-if he be
| simple tourist with nothing to demand
| Of any one. Everybody is courteous in
| Washington because everybody, from the
bootblack to the member of Congress. is
| more or less of a politician.
In New York many people are courteous
| to the stranger because they think he
think he may have culture; in Chicago
| because they think he may have a good
business idea; in Washington because
they think he may have pull" and be-
cause they know at the very least he has
| a vote.
Residents of the District are frequently
heard to insist that Washington is a
business town as well as headquarters
| for national politics and the national ad-
ministration. They point out various
| establishments as evidence to support the
claim. They grow restive at the general
| IDEA that there is nothing in Washington

| offices.
But when all is said. the fact remains
| That the principal business of Washing
| ton is government and politics and con-
| tlnued Identification, that the dream
Of Maj. L'Enfant. which the solid sense
| OF George Washington was convinced
| should be made to come true. shall come
| true in a capital that shall be of a
spiendor commensurate with the country s
greatness and a cause of pride to every
citizen.
