Possible Improvements.

Mai. kutz showed his familiarity with
Petworth conditions and commended
the section for its lawn system and
for its practice of insisting upon low
paling fences for backwards. by which
garden spots were made where other
wise unsight1y spots would exist. He
said he wished it were possible to make
this practice compulsory throughout
the District and that even now the
Commissioners were considering the
practicability of removing fences from
all front lawn strips. He explained the
failure of Congress to make appropria-
ton for improvements in Petworth,
which had been recommended by the
Commissioners, but said orders would
be given during the coming year for
the improvement of the triangles at
It'll street and New Hampshire ave
nue. and eth street and New Hampshire
avenue, and that a concrete road was
to be provided for sth street north
west between Webster and Allison
streets Other improv -nents, he said,
are under consideration.

PENSION FUND REFORM
URGED BY BROWNL0W
Objects to Present System of Caring
for Police and
Firemen.

Following it's March meeting at the
Petworth NJ. E. Church, sth and Shep-
herd streets northwest, last evening,
the Petworth Citizens Association. as
sisted by the Petworth Woman's Club
rendered reception to District Com
missioners Brownlow and Kutz, both OF
whom delivered addresses, as well as
Mrs. Ellis Logan, president Of the Fed
Grafton of Womans Clubs.
Commissioner Brownlow confined his
remarks to an expression of pleasure
that Congress had opened the school
houses for social center purposes. and
commented upon the necessity Of a
change in the present method OF build
ing up the pension fund for the police
and firemen. Arrests are now made oy
the police, he said, in order to obtain
conviction and fine to add to the
pension fund, when under ordinary cir
cumstances a warning to those arrested
would amply serve the purpose. Pres
ent practices he condemned and said
he would endeavor to the best of his
ability to urge proper congressional
provision for pension fund in the
regular way.

High School Notes.
(By Thomas r. Wilson,

Wy IIOIIidS II. w llSOH)
The monthly grades were posted
this morning and many smiles are to
be seen around the school today. How
ever, there are many looking just the
opposite. Those who led the differ
ent classes were as follows: Fresh
men, James Greaser; Sophomore, Jo-
sic Fuller; Juniors, Gordon Dunlap;
Seniors, Merrill Warren. The leader
of the school was Merrill Warren. One
thing to be noticed this year is the
number of boys who are leading the
classes.
The school is always sorry to lose
amy of its members, but they are al
ways glad to see one of their num-
her get ahead. Such is the case with
Kathleen Perkiss, who is leaving for
Berkeley, where she will enter the
University of California. She is
duly accredited and will receive her
diploma. She was secretary of the
student body and also of the Senior
class.
The Senior class at their regular
meeting this morning accepted the
resignation of Kathleen Perkiss as
secretary and elected Philip Griffin
as the new secretary. They also ac-
cepted the report from the Senior ball
held on Christmas night.

Rruce Brown Meetings-Evangelist
Brown is rapidly winning the atten-

Ell Centro. Yesterday he spoke with

won the hearts of the upper grade
pupils of the grammar school. Last
night he spoke on the subject, "The
Christ of Prophecy" The speaker
said: Suppose | should tell you /
can describe the president of the Unit
cd States who will be elected one hun
dred years from now. You would say
that was impossible But the proph-
cts Of the Old Testament days did
that very thing when they portrayed
the coming of the Messiah and gave
US an accurate description of his
character and personality. They told
OF the city of his birth, the tribe from
which he should spring, the virgin
mother, the suffering and shame he
should bear, and hundred other things
that fit only the Christ. In fact
there are at least $50 distinct proph
ecies which were uttered about him. u
The sermon was illustrated by large
colored chart. Tonight the theme will
be "The Bible the Word of God as
Proved by Types" an illustrated ser
mon also.

MEXICAN FORCES ARE EVEN.

Against the Carranza forces, Pan cho Villa does not quite live up to the reputation of thunderbolt of victory which he acquired in the war against Huerta. As we see it now, Villas part in the success of the revo lution, though of prime importance, was not the sole factor. Probably be- cause of superior press facilities. he managed to absorb some of the cred it for the final outcome which should have gone to the other Constitution alist commanders, Obregon and Con- zales, whose operations lay further south in Mexico and away from the telegraph offices. At any rate the present conflict shows much more even contest than that between the Constitutionalists and Huerta. The latter died slowly but his end was inevitable. He had no notable victor ies to his credit. His troops surren- dered in large numbers and that showed how little at heart they had the cause they were fighting for. Deplorable though present conditions may be in Mexico the deadlock does show fair feiwht of public sym pathy behind the various revolution ary generals. Huerta had behind him only the force of inertia. To inti. mate that MT. Wilson made a cardi. nal error in not coming to terms with Huerta is to argue that the duty of his country consisted in lending aid and comfort to man repudiated by the mass of his countrymen-New York Post.

ern arena the forces of devastation. after the first German onrush and it's check, have been held fairly static. In Poland the fighting line of 700 miles is now estimated to have swept over 200 towns and 5000 will lages, raging to the ground more than half of them; corn, forage, and all available cattle and horses have been seized, and rural population of T. OO0000 reduced almost to beggary; while in the industrial cities almost all normal activities have ceased. How inadequate any possible assist ance must be to repair one tithe of the damage is shown by the computa- tion that it will reach six hundred millions of dollars. But relief may be instrumental in saving the worst beset of the population from starva- tion and some other of it's greatest immediate miseries. The Polish peo. ple, divided against itself in the war, the victim, with the Polish Jews, of race hatreds almost unknown else where, and looking forward at the best to prolonged economic submer- gence, should be made to share equal ly with the other stricken regions in American generosity.-Ex.

THE SUBMARINE NOT INTANGIBLE

Recent news from the naval side of the European war is of nature to give pause to legislators and strat- egists, both amateur and profession
 Aho are so sure that the subma- rine is destined to make all other kinds of fighting craft useless and their building a sheer waste.
 The Allies claim that six or seven German submarines have been de stroyed by gun fire and ramming on the part of vessels that cannot go ln- to the sea depths after them. Cur iously enough, one and maybe two were sent down by unarmed merch- ant ships whose captains were quick and plucky enough to run straight at them instead of running away from them.
 The claims of the Allies may be too large. However, prisoners from one are reported, the British admir- atty seems disposed to pay the $2,500 reward offered to any merchant ship running down one iii the case of a second, and of three others there seems little doubt. Moreover, reports have come from the German side about two which have been so long absent that they may be given up as lost
 The truth is that no complex art like that of war is ever suddenly rev. olutionized. Long after the invention and general use of gunpowder battles were still won "by push of pike that is, with the bayonet. With un- armored ships Tegethoff beat the Ital- ian armor-clads at Lissa.
 If naval warfare is to continue, the submarine will doubtless play an in creasing part But it has it's weak ness as we'll as it's strength. Only from the viewpoint of those who hope to get along without war altogether may the battleship be truly termed obsolete "-Ex.
