Christmas Ship Specializing.

ship enterprise to make an effective

The New Plaza Condemnation.

It is to he hoped that no time Will be
lost in the organization of the new
Capitol plaza condemnation commits
SION, authorized by the bill which
passed both houses of Congress this
week This measure provides for a
com n ssion to he composed of men who
did not serve on the previous board
q condemnation and who have not
served on any other board of the same
character for five years past. This
board is to acquire the properties re-
quired for the Capitol plaza extension
by direct purchase at a fair market
value and by CONDEMNATION if private
agreements cannot be effected. In view
Of the history of the case the hope is
that there will be no prolongation of
proceedings. The property in question
is permanently blishted as private pos
session. 1t has no possible future save
for government acquisition. 1t has
been in effect al but taken by the
government, merely the stroke of the
executive pen being required to COM
plete the transaction. Owing to the
delays involved in dispute over the
award to the Baltimore and Ohio prop
erty, now set apart in a separate CLASH
fication by the new law, the private
owners of these lands were forced to
wait for their money, some of them
losing very heavily in interest on loans,
some. indeed, being forced to sacrifice
their properties because of inability to
maintain them. The question now
arises whether the condemnation pro-
ceedings should take into account these
losses and costs due to the govern
nlents delay and in no wise to the fault
of the owners. Equitably the owners
should be made good for such losses,
and, as The Star has repeatedly sug-
sested, the corrective legislation, en-
acted this week, should have carried
some definite provision for such reim-
bursement. But at the same time, in
the circumstances, doubtless every
owner of this property feels apprehen-
sive of further delays, and as there is no
disposition to complicate the proceed
ings the appointment of commission
is the first essential step toward finally
correcting a governmental fault which
has brought suffering to a large num-
Der of people.

Force of Contrast.

A man there was who beat the gong
With energy that knew no rest.
He shouted to the passing throng
And sawed the air and thumped hi
chest.
To win attention was his aim,
But this old world is well advised
Concerning all the tricks of fame,
And no one was at all surprised.
He settled down in quietude.
The futile strife he left behind.
He kept as he his way pursued
A placid and contented mind.
And then celebrity he gained.
He found himself well advertised,
A thoughtful silence he maintained
And everybody was surprised.

Change of Engineer Commissioners.

Harding Ind previously served here as
az assistant engineer commissioner and
was therefore familiar with The field when
he came in March. 1919, to Till his pres
ent assignment. It is unfortunate that so
thoroughly satisfactory q member of the
board should not remain to continue his
good work, but the Districts regret for
Coz. Hard ng's departure is lessened by
the assurance of the abilities of his sue
cessor. Maj. KutZ has never served with
the District government but prior to his
assignment in charge of the local en-
gineering works he had been on duty in
this city for q period of FIVE years part
OF the time at the Washington barracks
and later as assistant to the chief of en-
gineers. His detail in charge o. the river
and harbor works here and the water
supply has put him in cicse touch with
District matters and thus he is not Who'll
~ unacquainted with local conditions,
and his record as an engineer officer and
as an administrative official warrants the
belief that he will succeed Col. Harding
most acceptably. 1t is highly COM
pimentary to the District that officers OF
such pronounced ability are chosen for
the post of Engineer Commissioner In
fact the requirements of that position
are such as to call for a high degree OF
administrative talent Here an engineer
officer has an exceptional opportunity to
apply himself conStructively. The Dis
trict has been fortunate in it's Engineer
Commissioners, for with very few excep-
tons they have been wholly satisfactory
to the people in their administrative ac-
tiyities and their personal relations Mai
Kutz will be warmly welcomed when he
transfers from his present office to the
District building, and Col Harding will
be given the best wishes of the District
when he leaves Tor his important service

Wilson and Marshall.

In circuIarizing his snir;t of harmony

terms and of undoubted sincerity. 1t APP

Mr. Wilson and Mr.. Marshall have
gotten along together eXceliently- The
public is not advised of single differ
ence between them. Their team: work
has been all that the party needed. or
could desire.
Some Vice Presidents have been fifth

to the coach. John c. Breckenridge used
to tell with capital effect that he was
called into consultation with his chief,
Mr. Buchanan. but once, and the sub
iect was the wording of a Thanksgl' ing

veloped into a souabbIe embarrassing

been a national figure when Mr.. Cleve-
land was unknown outside his home
city, felt out of place as second to HIM

And for the third time death when
Mr.. Mckinley was taken put an end to
the promise of & warm party row. But
little doubt exists that Mr.. Roosevelt,
who was planning to succeed Mr.. Nc
Kinley in the presidency, would havel
FLASHED with his chief over that matter.
and still further strained their strained
relations. They were not, either as men
OF politicians, "off the same piece" and
four years in Office together would have
taxed both men severely.
But Mr.. Wilson and Mr.. Marshall have
''iit it or together perfectly. They have
appreciated each other. Mr.. Marshall. it
will be remembered, testified some weeks
ago to his appreciation of Mr.. Wilson
in a statement ignoring all one-term
talk and proposing Mr.. Wilson for a
second term. And now Mr.. Wilson re-
spends with a. letter so very friendly
that all may see that he thinks Mr..
Marshall should have a second term.
Harmony is the democratic aim, and
in many quarters is being achieved.

York; Wilson, Marshall and Taggart in
Indiana; Wilson and Sullivan in Illinois;

Europe's Lesson.

This country's military preparedness
is a question, after all. that may no"
wait on the more decisive development
of the campaigns in Europe. Even
those who are most disquieted should
remember that important lessons are
being taught by experience. The new
military engines on land and sea are
having great influence on military
nrenaredness in the future. Submarines,
dirigibles, aeroplanes, big guns, motor
cars are making over the science OF
war. Haste in recognizing the war
machine of this country would not now
be profitable. The experts themselves
need first of all, to study Europe S
present experience in the light of re-
suits. Militarists and pacifists should
be able to agree at least on the pro-
gram of full information and exact
knowledge as the prerequisite to fun :

For Fewer Street Poles.

From the Providence Journal
While the ideal place for public serv-
ice wires is underground, the proposal
to reduce the number of poles in this
city by allowing the wires of the troll
lev, telephone and electric lighting
to be attached to one and
the same upright is commendable as a
temporary measure. Almost every
Amer lean town is marred by an excess
of poles. In the smaller communities.
particularly, these are apt to be rough
and unsightly; but at the best, when
they are of metal and painted, they are
too frequent. The local plan, if carried
through, Will remove a large number
from the streets and work a decided
improvement.

BEFORE LUNDY's LANE.

One hundred years ago, following

marched to Lundy's Lane, a mile be-
low Niagara Falls, and not far from
the present location of the hotel
where Canada recently offered its
hospitality to the A.-B.-C. mediators,
Sir Gordon Drummond, administra-
tor and commander in Upper Can
ada, came from Kingston with 800
men to add to General Rialps army,
assumed command and pursued the
Americans to Lundy's Lane. The
two armies .encamped within three
miles of each other and prepared fol
battle.
