The Pantheon Of Patriotism.

To the Editor Of The Star:
The report of the park commission
of the District of Columbia to the,
Fifty-seventh Congress sounds like
prophecy, in view of the plan which
Is now taking shape to build
pantheon of patriotism to signers of
the Declaration of Independence. The
report says:
Where the axis of the White House
intersects the axis of Maryland avenue
a site is found for a great memorial.
Whether this memorial shall take the
form of a pantheon. in which shall
be grouped the statues of the illustri-
GUS men of the nation, or whether the
memory of some individual shall be
honored by a monument of the first
rank may be left to the future: at
least, the site will be ready. The re-
port further says: Regarding the
Monument as the center. the Capitol
as the base and the White House as
the extremity Of one arm of Latin
cross. We have at the head OF the
composition on the banks of the Po-
tomac a memorial site of the greatest
possible dignity, with a second and
only less commanding site at the ex-
tremity of the second arm. Potomac
Park may readily furnish sites for
those memorials which history has
shown to be worthy place in vital
relation to the great buildings and
Monuments erected under the personal
supervision of the founders of the re-
public"
A view is given of the site, which
is on direct line from the White
House TO the Monument. In the view
the site is called a monument to the
Constitution makers. which shows that
this site was in manner selected as
the proper place to build the memorial
TO the signers of the Declaration of
independence. and to be known as
The Pantheon of Patriotism" for II
should be not merely a memory of
tie past, but look also to the future,
that the great Americans who render
high service to their country should
be represented therein by tablet or
memorial in bronze. Fame is the
food on which dead men feed" may be
tue in sense. but fame is but anoth-
er name for history. and history
teaches the coming generations the
high value Of patriotism. and shows
how the ideals of nations mean the
difference between national life in all
it's fullness and liberty, or the death
OF all that makes IL worth while for
men to live.
Congress should be asked a, the COM
ing session to reserve this site for
the purpose indicated, for year by
year the choice sites grow fewer
An old historian. in speaking of the
'signers." says: 1T is a fact worthy
Of special record. and one which ought

American, that not one of that noble

The Effect of War.

From the Engineering Magazine.
The objection might be raised that
all those who cannot fight are not abb
solutely lost: most of them have been
wounded only. To this / must answer
that even those who have not been
killed will not again be strong men,
Those who by q miracle have not even
had the slightest scratch would not
dare boast that their strength was as
great after the war as before. Indeed,
one cannot with impunity lead q life
full of great physical and moral pri-
vations and suffering through months
and perhaps even years such as that
now being led in the trenches I must
believe that all who have taken part
in the war and who have been in it's
great battles will lose part of their
power to produce, and from this condi-
tion ] must believe, therefore, that all
the European factories WIN lose q part
Of their ability to produce.

Need Of Supervision.

The liability of sites must also
be taken into consideration In some
localities it ia possible to provfde out
door gymnasia and for the games suit
ed for larger boys and girls and
adults, while in the more crowded sec
tons smaller Fairgrounds especially
equipped for smaller children. should
be maintained.
1T is not believed advisable to es~
tablish Fairgrounds beyond the means
for adequate supervision Therefore
il is usually best to extend a system
gradually. 1t should be built upon a
Arm business basis and improvements
of as permanent character as possible
should be made" -

SAN FRANCISCO, October 14.-The

the peace congress looked with appre-

immigration Policy Sought.
The national Congress was appealed
to adopt an immigration policy Of just
and equitable treatment of all races
The peace delegates want a policy that
will grant citizenship regardless of
race or nationality. and to provide that
all aliens should be under the protec-
ton Of the government.
President Wilson's policy was also ap-
proved by the peace congress.
The congress went on record in a
resolution as recognizing that to the
President is largely due the fact that
tho republic has remained law-abidtng,
despite currents Of fear, hate and ex
element; and expressed its opposition
to the widespread demand for prepara-
ton against hypothetic dangers. The
delegates agreed they did not urge dis
armament under present conditions.
"seeds Of Future Wars"
"A sweeping victory on either side,"
another resolution said, would not
solve Europe's problems, being sure to
leave a legacy of hate, with seeds Of
future wars"
The congress urged the calling Of the
third Hague conference at the close of
the war. and said delegates should rep
resent the civil and not the military
authorities of their respective countries.
The last resolution deplored every
attempt to militarize America, stating
that the establishment of military
training courses in the schools was in
consistent with American ideals and led
toward a system of conscription.

Against Glass Legislation.

In urging extension of the city's
playground facilities the report pre-
sents the following considerations:
There should be no class legislation
in providing Fairgrounds. 1t is true
that where available funds are limited
first consideration should be given to
those sections most densely populated.
but the idea which once prevailed
that Fairgrounds are intended only for
the unfortunate or incorrigibls-has
given way to the broader and more in
telligent view that natures path should
not be closed to any child.
ITO inausurate and maintain a prop
err system of Fairgrounds requires
painstaking investigation and careful
consideration Of the needs of the COM
munity. No general rule which will
suffice in every city can be laid down.
Neither cab a fixed plan be devised
which will meet the needs of every sec
ton of given city. Each section
should be considered separately and
such a playground maintained as will
meet the requirements Of the imme-
date vicinity.

PROPOSES moves 3"
FOR PtAYGROUNDS
Supervisor Roberts Thinks
They Would Have High
Educational Value.

Installation of motion picture ma
chimes on Washington's Fairgrounds
Is recommended in the first annual re-
port on the operation of the play
ground department to be submitted to
the District Commissioners by the new
supervisor of Fairgrounds, George
NJ Roberts.
He believes that the showing Of mo-
ton pictures will be of great educa-
tional value to the patrons of the city's
Juvenile recreation centers. and that
they should be installed on all the
grounds as soon as practicable
For More Fairgrounds.
Other recommendation of Mr. Rob-
erts are that additional Fairgrounds be
established gradually and systemati-
cally until a properly supervised place
of recreation is accessible to every
child in the District. beginning with
the more densely populated sections.
where recreation facilities do not now
exist, and that the salaries OF the d.
rectors be increased so as to be COM
mensurate with the services required.
He also proposes that swimming or
wading pools be constructed on all
Fairgrounds not now provided with
such facilities; that provision be made
Tor lighting the Fairgrounds and for
evening recreation. and that the large
swimming pool al the bathing beach be
extended west a distance of fifty feet,
and that additional lockers be con-
structed to provide more adequate ac-
eommodations for bathers.
The report reviews at length the
facilities of the playground department
and details its activities during the
past fiscal year. 1t also contains de-
tailed statement of the development of
each playground.

Bryan's Policies

The principle advocated by Mr..
Bryan is embodied in treaties of peace
negotiated by the United States with
30 nations and was accepted by Ger
many, although no convention ever
was drafted. The statement is a con-
densation of the argument which Sec
rotary Bryan has been making repeat
eddy to President Wilson in the last
few weeks and upon which he hopes
to build up a public sentiment in the
United, States that will make war with
Germany impossible.
The issuance of the explanation had
been timed to coincide exactly with
the dispatch Of the American note to

Cabinet Support

AS the all-important document on
which President Wilson and his advisers
have worked for 10 days went forth, it
had behind it the united support Of the
cabinet. The one man who had opposed
its terms because he believed it might
precipitate war-William Jennings Bryan
had resigned the portfolio Of secretary
Of state at the moment the note was
dispatched.
A statement issued by Mr.. Bryan re-
vealed that President Wilson had reject
ed his suggestions for an investigation
by commission for years time Of the
legal phases Of the dispute with Germa-
ny during which Americans should, &C
cording to Mr.. Bryan's view, be warned
against taking passage on any belliger-
ent ships or on American vessels carry
ing ammunition.
No Comment from Wilson
President Wilson made no comment on
the statement. but the text of the note.
1t was stated, would outline fully the po-
sition Of the President and the cabinet.
The President stands unalterably. it was
stated, on the principle that the United
States at this stage in its history cannot
afford to surrender any Of Its rights;
that the American people fought in 1912
for their rights on the high seas. and
cannot sacrifice those rights with the
nations rise and growth to a position of
command as a world power.
High officials generally held the view
that Mr.. Bryan's statement constituted
virtual surrender Of American rights,
guaranteed not only by international law
but by specific treaties between the Unit
ed States and Germany. Mr.. Bryan's
suggestion that Americans should not
take passage on American ships carry
ing ammunition was in direct conflict, 1t
was pointed out, with the treaty Of 1928
between Prussia and the United States.
