SCORED BY EXPERT.
Landscape Architect 0Imsted
Says Washington NegIects
e. Back Yards and Interiors.

Washington's city planning extends
only to the front door. and the back
yards. and interiors of blocks have
been neglected. said Frederick Law
Olmstead. of Brookline. Mass, one OF
the country's foremost landscape arch'-
tects, in addressing the American Civic
Association in it's Joint session with the
Pan-American Scientific Congress, this
morning.
The plan of Washington may fairly
be criticised" he said, "In that It re-
serves such very ample open spaces in
front of the buildings for light and air
and future contingencies. while leav-
ing the determination of the spaces for
light and other purposes i'm the interior
Of the large blocs wholly to private
iniative without any city planning at
ALL"
Creates Many Evils.
The result OF this procedure, the
speaker said, has been the creation of
dark and poorly ventilated rooms, and
many other evils. even in the better
residential districts.
There is, no apparent reason why
spaces of the size and distribution
really adequate to bring light and air
ing should not have been reserved in
the interior of every block in private
use, but subject to city control and
available for other uses II needed"
City planning" was the general topic
of the meeting this morning, the first
of the civic body's meetings to be held
in conjunction with the congress.
Welcome by Gorgas.
Gen William c. Gorgas, surgeon gem
eral U. s.. A, welcomed the civic as
sociation as a part of the Scientific ses-
sions and talked briefly upon what civic
bodies may accomplish in preventive
medicine.
Medical men have been devoting
their energies to looking into the causes
of diseases" he said. They have To-
Gated many of these causes. But their
preventive efforts. to be effective. must
be supplemented by civic cooperation.
For, in a large sense. poverty is great
cause of disease. and it is the part of
civic bodies to study questions affecting
poverty. In my personal opinion pow
erty can only be coped with. in the
long run. by increasing wages"
]. Horace Mcfarland, presidentof the
American Civic Association, spoke on
The Human Side of City Planning"
IT do not quite like the title" he said,
For all city planning is essentially hu-
man"

Business Training, Says

Business training in colleges is the

Ohio to the members of the educational
section of the Pan-American Scientific
Congress- today.
THE chief obstacles to business
courses in the colleges I'm the conserva-

do not seem to realize that such train
ing is not an innovation. but a return
to the functional responsibility of the
college"
The speaker thought the conservation
of resources too serious a responsibility
to intrust to men without adequate
training and foresight. He also thought

Conservation Commission Operating
Under Consolidation Plan
Effects Economy.

Madison.-How the state conserva-
tion commission, operating under the
consolidation law of 1915, has effected
an economy of more than $15,500 in
five months in the administration Of
the game protection laws, is shown in
comparison of the records OF the
first five months of the present fiscal
year, July to Nov. 80, as compared
with the same period in 1914. In the
five months of 1914 the department
had seventy-two regular wardens, with
some eight or ten extras during the
deer season, and the cost, less the
salary of the chief game warden, was
S65,111.S6. For the present year the
whole number of conservation ward
ems in the service was sixty-two, and
the total cost was $50, 601S5, effecting
a net saving of s14,51051, while the
number of arrests for violation was
twenty-seven greater.

PREPAREDNESS PLEA is
MADE BY THE PRESIDENT
Wilson Speaks TO Business Men at
Columbus, o.-says Resources
Must BE Modified.

Columbus. o., Dec. 13.-Prepared-
ness by business men to mobilize
the resources OF the nation as a
measure OF national defense was
urged by President Wilson here on
Friday in a ringing address before
the Columbus Chamber of Com
merce. His words were given added
significance by the disputes pending
between the United States and Austria
and Germany
The president declared that II the
United States preserves its self-pos-
session in the present crisis It will
have great influence in reconstructing
the peaceful course OF the world and
In bringing the nations together again
The presidents address was ap-
plauded by a nonpartisan audience OF
LOO, including many OF the leading
officials and business men Of Ohio.
While he had not written 1t out in adj
vance, he had thought It over careful
ly. His theme was the Statesman
ship OF Industry" The president told
the business men that II was impossi-
bic to separate business and life. The
history of business in the United
States, he said, was tied up with the
history OF the nation.
Need OF ships to carry the commerce
OF the nation was emphasized. Since
the War Of 1912. he declared, the Uni
ted States had purposely attended
first to internal affairs. Some business
men, he declared, sought foreign
trade, but many disregarded ii.
The banking and currency law
passed during the present administers
ton wGs lauded by the president as a
great cid 10 foreign commerce. Until
il was passed there were hardly any
foreign branches OF American banks.
He criticized the policy of protec-
ton. Business, he declared, should be
efficient. but It should not be organized
in order to secure monopolles.
He opposed the injection of politics
into business. He described himself as
a militant Democrat" and added that
the Democratic rarty wanted to help
business.
| Repeating the idea expressed in his
last message to congress, the presi-
dent said that he believed In liberty OF
all peoples. He declared aggressively
that as long as he was president Mex
leo would be allowed to choose its own
| government.
The European war, he declared. bad
put the United States in a new rela-
| ton to the world. This nation will
have to be the reserve force of the
