Beauty on Business Basis"

Washington, Feb. 15.-Development of
the economics as well as the aesthetic
value of the national parks of the
country Is the policy OF Mark Daniels,
newly appointed superintendent Of ma
tional parks in the department of the
interior.
Through the operation of a carefully
worked out plan Mr.. Daniels believes
hat not only can the national reserya-
tons eventually become self support
ing. but that the picturesque value will
be enhanced rather than destroyed by
the placing of beauty on a business
basis" Briefly, the plan Of the new
superintendent contemplates the estab-
lishment of a model village In each
Of the large parks or In so many OF
them as the patronage will justify. In
discussing his plan Mr.. Daniels said:
There Is no doubt In my mind but
that the national parks should be
placed on a self supporting basis. The
people will in time refuse to support
the parks, and we should therefore
take advantage of the revenue produc-
ing elements OF the national reserva-
tons.
MY plan is simply to broaden the
field for concession and to lay down
simple building regulations TO be fol-
lowed by the concessionaries, which
will preclude the possibility of the
erection Of buildings not harmonious
with the scenic beauty Of the parks

In Back Of Russi.'s Army.

Petrograd. Feb. 13.-The speed with
which Russia modified her forces at
the outbreak of the war surprised both
friend and foe. While her potential
strength was known to be immense, 1t
was generally believed that Russia
was not prepared for hostilities. But
the war with Japan had Its lesson, and
the czar and his military advisers have
been active in army reorganization.
Probably to General w. A. Sukhom-
linof more than to any other man Is
due the strength OF Russia's forces
today. Formerly military governor of
Kiev. Podalia and Volhynia. General
Sukhomlinoff was made minister Of

was then recognized to be a man Of
