Mr.. Rogers said:
NO one can come to Washington for
even few days without being i'm
pressed with its beauty, and with the
suggestions that are apparent every
where for imitation on a small scale

of the streets. the fine attention given
to the trees. and the general efficiency
that is apparent are inspiring. and it

days this week, but | am coming to
Washington next year for month,

Must Reckon With Army.

Although it was generally conceded to-
day that Premier Asquith had regaiued
the upper hand in parliament. the gov
ernment is by no means altogether out
of trouble. 1t has still to deal with the
army officers in Ireland under the new
conditions established by the premier s
speech in the house of commons yester-
day Brig Gen. Cough declares that
this Will mean wholesale resigna tions and
the disruption of the army
The premiers speech won back the sup
port not only of the liberals but of the
Irish and labor members of parliament
by the stand it took in repudiating the
guarantee given to the mutnous army
officers In Ireland that they might decide
whether or not they would serve against
the Ulster unionists.-
1t is now asserted that as soon as the
government formally withdraws the guar
antees given by Col. Seely, secretary for
war. and Field Marshal Sir John French,
the officers will again resign their com
missions, and. as one of them said. this
time in earnest.
There is also to be settled the question
of what the army council will do.
Brig. Gen. Cough. commander of the
Sd Cavalry Brigade, in the course of
an interview said.
If Premier Asquith withdraws the
guarantees he will have to throw over
the army council and the government
will be faced particularly with disrup-
tion of the army

Favors Joint Letter.

Henry B. F. Macfariand. chairman of
the executive committee of the committee
of one hundred, said today that he hopes
the Board of Trade and Chamber of
Commerce will be able to unite in joint
letter to be sent out to the various civic
bodies, appealing for assistance. Mr..
Macfarland said
In view of the spirit of various boards
of trade and chambers of commerce
throughout the United States toward
Washington as the Capital city, which
was shown in the recently published re-
sponses of these bodies to a special let
ter about the parks of Washington sent
out by the Board of Trade. l have no
doubt that many of these bodies would
respond heartily to any appeal sent out
in cooperation at this time with the WORK
of the committee of one hundred.
Those letters to the Board of Trade
showed how many of the trade bodies
of the country feel toward Washington.
They were clear in many instances in
showing that the out-of-town civic body
has a deep national feeling of pride in
the capital. So that We hope to accom-
pIsh good deal by appealing to them
for aid now. by means of joint letter
from the Board of Trade and Chamber
of Commerce of Washington"

says that the month of June is given as

beeIl reached by the unionists and the
liberals under the terms of which the
