partment of Agriculture. but also with
other clubs of the same sort Of the Dis
trict. one of which has recently been
started in Takoma Park. under the leader
ship of Mrs. William F. Wight
It is intended that the gardens shall
be at the chldren's homes. but for those
who have not sufficient space it is
thought that portion of the siX-acre
school site recently acquired in the
neighborhSod may be turned into gar
dening section. The announcement that
the District authorities would cooperate
in making this plot community center
was greeted with enthusiasm. especially
by the boys when they learned that Z. S.
Martin, superintendent of Fairgrounds.
had promised a base ball diamond and
other recreation facilities. While plans
have not been perfected. it was announced
at the meeting that it might be possible
to obtain the detail of one of the gov
eminent bands for concerts on this site
during the coming summer. Into all of
these activities. it was announced. the
Sunrise AchieV ement Club would have its
full share of duties, responsibilities and
opportunities.

Exhibit and Contest Planned.

At the end of the season it is intended
that the club shall have an exhibit and
contest, with prizes awarded for the
best vegetables. fresh or canned. and also
for the best written and illustrated ac-
count of how the crop was grown.
The name of the club was decided on
after various local names had been sus-
sested and discarded because the terri
tory to be covered by the organization
includes a great many subdivisions, each
with it's own designation. 1t was the
sense of the meeting that the word
Sunrise was the most appropriate.
since it connected the eastern part of
, the District of Columbia, and suggested

| is to be conducted under the joint aus
! pieces of the teachers in the Langdon
| School. and of the Rhode Island Avenue
! Suburban Citizens Association. though
neither will have any official connection
| with the new CLUB. which is to be a
neighborhood affair affiliated with the
other clubs of the United States. each OF
which is a member of the National Amer
| lean Achievement League. 1t will not
confine itself to achievement in gardening
alone it is explained: that is simply the
basis of its first efforts, which later
will be expanded to include many other

ed with that of the Boy Scouts and the

The present filling is under the
Stimson permit and runs south to
18th street. This was secured as an
opening wedge and is likely to be re-
voked by Secretary Garrison at any
time
The question before the house is:
Are the people going to stand for this
open violation of the law by the Of
fetal servants of Chicago for the sake
of making additional land for rail-
road, already in possession of much
which it had Illegally reclaimed? Is
the district attorney to be allowed to
neglect lbs plain duty and refuse to
prosecute these violators of the law?
And is this Infamous contract,
which has been frustrated for three
years, going to be finally consum-
mated, or are the people going to de-
mand that their officials carry out the
findings of the highest court in the
land?
The proper solution of the lake
front question. is to force the railroad
to elevate, like every other railroad
in Chicago, preferably on a steel tres
tie. Tear down the stone wall, open
all streets to the lake, and improve
the existing shore at small expense.
1t will make the finest lake front in
America without graft, without dis
honor and without waiting a hun
dred years for a plan that would first
increase the railroad nuisance one
hundred per cent and which would
remove the shore quarter of mile
further from the people.

out this secret contract which was
said to be part of the "city beauti-

prevailed upon to veto the harbor Or
dinance, but the council would not
approve the scheme. 1t subsequently
was confirmed by Judge Honore, one
of the judges who appointed the

refused to review the case because
the DIRECTORS owned none of the land

Those opposed to the Illinois Cen

approve the lake front contract be-

road. The council needed this space
for harbor, as parks can be built

is already given over to boulevards

under date of December 19, sends a de-
scription of the defeat of the Austrians
at the hands of the Servians which
eliminated in the reoccupation by the
Servians of Belgrade.
The former successes of the Aus
trians against the Servians," the cor
respondent says, "had begun to breed
mood of desperation among the Off
GERS of the Servian army as well as

headquarters staff worked miracles in
averting dangerous spread of this
fear that it would be useless to Strug-

THE staff preserved complete calm

seemed to be proved by the willing sur

Headquarters believed the right mo-

but, recognizing the extreme difficulty
OF doing anything with their small
army, the Servian commanders reSolv-

attacked from the front and wings
very vigorously. The Servian infantry
also worked terrible havoc in the Aus
trian fighting lines and on their rear.
"The leading Austrians believed the
fold. Despite the overwhelming num-
Der of the Austrians their lines were
shaken, and after ten hours of most
desperate resistance they began re-
treat, hoping to be more fortunate the
next day. But they were given no
respite. Resuscitated as if by mira

be quite a new force.
always, before the enemy's infantry
could be deployed for fighting on a
new position, the Servian infantry
was creeping beneath the enemys bat
teries. The -Austro- Hungarian resist
ance was broken before it had well be-
gun. Their retreat became a panic
stricken flight in which transports and
wounded and guns and material were
abandoned wholesale.
'In ten days the Servian victory over
fve Austrian army corps was complete.
The Austro- Hungarian losses since No
