the temple room.

Question Of Education.
Speaking upon the topic of educa-

I'VE have in all the states of our
great republic system of public
schools designed to educate all the
children Of all the people.

or nobler service to our country than

subject upon which there can be, or

denomination or church, but there is
no reason why the virtues cannot be
taught in them and the schools made
the avenues of approach to official or
public life in all our states and NUM-
cipalities."

Herbert J. Browne, who is opposed to
the half and-half plan. has filed brief

ed hearing before the committee. DIR.
A. J. McKefway. secretary of the national
child labor committee. will urge before
the committee that by granting the Dis
trict a measure of self-government the
demand here for government aid will be
done away with.
Senator Chiffon and other members of
the committee at their first meeting
here last spring made it clear that the
joint select committee intends to deal
only with the fiscal relations between
the District and the United States and
that it does not propose to consider. or
to hear persons desiring to discuss a
change in the form of government, in
Guiding suffrage in the District.
All persons desiring to discuss the
Question of the fiscal relations of the
District and the government and the
question of taxation here will be given
a hearing by the committee. 1t is the
purpose of the committee. however. 10

Committee Has Briefs.

Briefs already have been submitted
to the committee by persons interested
in the settlement of the QUESTION of the
appropriation and taxation in the Dis
trict. Among these is the brief of the
joint citizens committee, representing
the Board of Trade, the Chamber of
Commerce, the committee of one hun
dred, the Retail Merchants Association,
the Federation of Citizens Associa-
tons. the Bar Association and the
Builders and Manufacturers Exchange.
The joint citizens committee has an
nounced that it will make every effort
to have the "half-and-half' principle OF
appropriating for the District maintained.
In addition to filing brief with the con-
gressional committee. the joint citizens
committee will be heard, and Henry b. F.
Macfarland is to be the spokesman for the

Commissioners to Attend.

The District Commissioners will at
tend the meeting of the congressional
committee tomorrow and will offer to
the committee all the information and
data which the committee may desire.
The District Commissioners, it was
learned today, stand ready to give their
views to the congressional committee
as to what should be done. if the COM
nlittee requests them to do SO. That the
congressional committee will ask for
the views of the executive officers of
the District appears highly probable.
Commissioner Newman. chairman OF
the board of Commissioners. said today
that he thought it would not be cour-
teous to the congressional committee
to make public his views of what should
be done prior to being called upon for
these views by the committee. 1t is
known, however. Mr.. Newman in the
past has opposed the retention Of the
half-and-half plan. by which the gov
eminent pays one-half OF the Districts
expenses and the taxpayers in the Dis
trict pay the other half.

sion and to the Americans who nave

Gently
The meeting was held primarily to
thank the Americans who have made
donations as received in this province,
which is located in the southeastern
part of Belgium and suffered extreme
hardship during the early part OF the
war. The entire province has received
total of 21,725 tons of food, 1000
tons of which was being distributed
there when the mass meeting was
held
The resolution, which is sgned by
Emile Devreuv, burgomaster of Char
leroi, and director of the provisioning
committee of the districts of Charleroi-
Thuin, and by the provisioning man
ager Max Rasquin, reads in part;
'If our country is a small territory,
it, however, comprises a great many
persons of staunch character who will
vow their gratitude TO yDu and who
will teach future generations what
the honored representative of the
great republic of the United States
did for us in the years 1914 and 1915.
When peace will have caused all
arms to be laid aside, when the vile
war will have ceased to sew death in
our homes, then the entire world will
learn from certain and incontestable
sources of all the benefits with which
the great republic of the United States
has overwhelmed small and unfortun-
ate Belgium"

U. S. MEAT HELD IN NORWAY.
German Agents Fail to Claim Ar
mour e. Co. SHIPMENT.

Correspondence of the Associat ted Press.
CHRISTIANIA, Norway. August IA
large quantity of provisions which were
received in Norway last spring, con-
signed to Armour & Morris, Chris
tiania," although these Chicago pack
ers have no branch offices in this coun-
try, still remain here unclaimed. The
original consignment included 1000
boxes of pork, 5000 barrels of lard and
800 barrels-o of oil.
1t is generally believed here that the
provisions were sent from the United
States in the expectation that they
would be taken care of here by German
agents and re-eXported to Germany.
but the Norwegian laws forbid this.
The government has disposed of a por-
ton of the provisions to meet the ex-
penses of storage. but the remainder is
still waiting for the importer or owner.
Attempts to smuggle contraband ma
terial through Norway continue. but
they are completely frustrated, it is de-
clared, by the vigilance of the customs
officials. Some days ago a German
freight car, with double walls, was dis
covered by a station agent near Chris
tiania. Space between the two walls
of the car was crowded full of copper,
while the body of the car was loaded
with window sashes, and had it not
been for the inspection by the station
agent the copper would have escaped to
Germany.

new ROUTE is SELECTED
FOR NEXT SUNDAYS HIKE
Wanderlusters to Be Led Through
Upper Part of Rock Creek
Valley.

The more the wanderlusterS explore
Washington. the greater the difficulty
in finding new walks The leaders an
nounce that Sunday an entirely new
route is to be taken through upper
Rock creek valley, however. c. NJ.
Stems and Walter w. Paige will be in
charge on this occasion. The start is
to be made at Georgia avenue and
Butternut street (Takoma Park car
junction), at $50 pm. Mr.. Paige, in
describing the proposed route today,
said:
Leaving Georgia avenue. we proceed
toward the park by the Walter Reed
Hospital. but just before coming to the
creek take a turn to the right. follow
ing the ridge about where 18th or 18th
street would come in if extended.
finally working our way to the creek
just below a rustic bAidge, which we
cross to the opposite side and follow
other trails on the west side of the
creek and north of Chestnut street.
The park proper will be left at a point
on Daniel road and other trails fol-
lowed to Chevy Chase Circle, the desti-
nation. Mr.. Stems and l went over the
route early Thursday morning, most of
it being new to me. and part of it to
both of us. l have tramped quite a lit
tie within the last year and "a half as
a regular hiker. and on many scouting
trips to map out, assist in doing SO,
new routes, but the more | get into
Rock Creek Park, it's vastness seems
greater and my knowledge less. j have
followed some very beautiful trails,
but without question the trip as out
, lined for next Sunday is as perfect as
any yet taken. 1t is dreamland of
woodland from beginning to end. clean
trails almost entirely. and no difficult
climbs: in fact, almost without spot or
blemish.' The woods are sufficiently
open to avoid that feeling of closeness
sometimes experienced where the
growth is thick; two excellent springs
assure water of the finest quality in
abundance for as large a crowd as will
come. At one of these a few rustic
seats invite the weary to rest"
This represents one of the finest OPP
portunities ever given Washingtonians
as well as tourists and visitors, of see
ing something worth while. say the
mixers. All are welcome on these out
ings.
