ARBITRATION'S RESULTS

There was never a better demon
stration of the value of arbitration
than in the case of the Chicago
street car strike where the disagree
ment between the management and
the employees has been settled with
an increase in pay which will estab-
lish in that city the highest wage
schedule for motormen and conduc.
tors in this country. When the
strike was first declared it looked
like long and expensive fight, with
all the discomfort to citizens that
accompanies interference with trans.
portation facilities. The mayor in.
voked arbitration, it was agreed to
and everything has been settled
peaceably which is the best way tc
settle strikes or any other form OF
disagree ement.

HORROR ON HORROR

A probable member of the naval
advisory board, Prof. Steinmetz, the
great authority on electricity, makes
a suggestion of almost unbelievable
horror in his prediction that in the
development Of war methods it is
not at all impossible that to the use
Of suffocating gases and fumes there
may be added the spreading among
the enemy of virulent bacteria. That
such an idea should occur to so great
a scientist as Steinmetz only shows
how methods of the present war are
leading men into lines of thought
and reasoning that smack of hell it.
self. Surely there must be some
limitations that humanity will put
on even so inhuman a thing as war.

THE METROPOLITAN CLUB CASE

The Times indorses the substance
of the ruling of Judge Pugh in the
Metropolitan Club case. The Jones'
Works bill was not intended to for
bid the sale of liquor in such places
as the Metropolitan Club, the Army
and Navy Club, or similar institu-
tions. In the accepted sense such
clubs as these are not bar rooms.
They have not the characteristics of
bar rooms in publicity or display. 1t
is unfortunate that the Anti-Saloon
League should have brought it's first
test on a case so plainly lost before
it was begun. There are so many
instances where the Excise Commits
sion made a travesty of the law, and
so many cases that might have been
won hands down, that it seems un-
fortunate that the first case to be
tried should have been one in which
all the facts predestined defeat, and
by its result gives a sentimental,
substantially to the rulings of q
discredited commission.

by German correspondents might be
responsible for this, but what is to
be said when DR.. Jastrow, Of Berlin
University, writes for the Berliner
Tageblatt this explanation of Secre-
tary Bryan's resignation:
Dr. Wilson and Mr.. Bryan are, char
acteristic types of American politicians,
the agitator. respectively Mr.. Bryan
was among those who were eager for
war with Germany, and when his pol
icy appeared certain Of rejection in
mination to consult the Senate on
the matter, he made a particularly
clever move, by insisting that the note
1.-THE secondl should culminateI In a de-
tration; If the demand proved unac-
ceptable to Germany, as 1t naturally
would, do. the result would be a con.
tinuation Of Mr., Bryan,s Anglophil
tion would render it possible for him to
claim that he was championing the
adoption Of peace modus adjust
ment by arbitration).
DR.. Jastrow ascribes to deliberate
cooperation between an English
news agency and Mr.. Bryan the per-
plexity caused by the circumstance
that the latter was understood to
have resigned because of the war
like tone of the note, whereas the
document in question was found to
be peaceable, in character, and con-
cludes:
Mr.. Bryan had to go because his ore.

| endeavored to give his resignation the
| air of being dictated by opposite mo.
tives Is only a fresh indication that he
noticed how the wind Had changed DR.
Wilson. and the Senate on the other
hand are far removed. It is true, from
friendliness toward Germany, or ever
from being really impartial; but in the

sible calm and thoughtful discussion

AUGUSTUS THOMAS SERVICE

Not long ago a theatrical maga-
zine wrote to about fifty dramatic
critics in an effort to obtain their
views, for use in a symposium, as
to who is the greatest living Amer
lean playwright. The symposium
never was used, for the replies, by
all who answered, were unanimous
in assigning Augustus Thomas to
that position.
1t will be gratifying to every
lover of the theater that a man of
Mr.. Thomas caliber is to succeed to
the place of the late Charles Froh-
man, as director of the vast Froh-
man enterprises. Next to Mr.. Froh-
man himself, and with the possible
exception of David Belasco, whose
talent and temperament were in
marked contrast to Mr.. FrohmanS
makeup, Mr.. Thomas has had the
most profound influence upon the
trend of the American drama. Many
others have written serious and
thoughtful plays; it remained for
Mr.. Thomas and William Vaughn
Moody, whose early death robbed
the stage of Mr.. Thomas only liv-
ing peer on this side of the water,
to write serious plays that also
stood the acid box Office test; serious
plays that became popular.
A well-rounded man whose opin-
ion about plays has been respected,
who has written about the theater
as thoughtfully as he has written
for it, whose critical ability has
been recognized by his appointment
as judge in various play writing
competitions, and a man who pos
sesses clear-cut ideals about the
theater blended with a knowledge,
born of experience, of it's business
features, Mr.. Thomas was a happy
selection to fill Mr.. Frohman's
place. And that place is unique
Though Mr.. Thomas, in fact, is
simply a private appointee to man
age certain phases of the business
of an estate, he is in the truest
sense in a position closely analogous
to that of public servant, and the
sphere affected by his judgment anc
ability is much wider than thai
) touched by the average officeholdel
or even the head of most educa
tional institutions.

THE LION OF WATERLOO

The Belgian lion, so long silent
on it's earthen pyramid on the bat
tlefield of Waterloo will shortly have
found his voice and will be roaring
in the form of German shells, for
the war lords have taken him to do
his mite in replenishing the stock
of metal needed to make ammuni-
tion. The descendants of the old
guard will receive again the bronze
that commemorated the most ia
nous battle their ancestors ever
fought.

CLEARING GROUND
FOR OFFICE BUILDING
Construction Work on Southern
Railways S75O,000 Enter
prise Will Begin Soon.

Preparations for the immediate ereo-
tion of the new $50 900 office building
for the southern Railway Company at
Thirteen d-a-half street, between ID
and f streets northwest. were put un-
der wav this week, when squads or
w6rkmen began clearing the block OF
old buildings adjoining the present
quarters of the company, at 1900 Penn
sylvania avenue.
Work on the contract for the building
was coincdent with the filing of the
deed, whereby the valuable block was
acquired by the Federal city Construc-
ton Company from Plimpton b. Chase
the former owner. The firm of Mhhurn.
Heister x Co., architects, is superln-
tending the work.
Stating the benefits to be derived by
the railway company with the cohpie
ton of the new building an o1llclal OF
the company outlined the aim toward
better efficiency.
The completion of the new Dulialns
will cause the removal OF about 90 en-
ployes now located IN the pulluihS hsSra a.
il9 d street northeast. to the new ouho-
ing This, with the concentration OF
other scattered branches OF the oHlce
service of the company, Will mean
better and more perfect co-operaN'o
system, said the Official. :.
Among the principal changes TO result
frCm this removal will be the installing
in the new building of the othces OF me
auditor of revenue, auditor or 1relSHt
account, auditor of passenger account
freight claim agent auditor of disourse-
ments, and superintendent OF agencies
In accordance with this plan. many
changes will result in the distribution OF
the force now employed in the com,
pany's building at Thirteenth street ana
Pennsylvania avenue. Several remoV-
ais will affect the forces at work In Of
flee buildings about the city. ,,,
The officers of the company MI
generally remain in the present build
irg These will include the president:
the three vice general the general
manager, general superintendent OF
transportation. and the managers OF a
great many departments.
Tho general estimate of the number
Of employees to be concentrated in this
arrangement of what may practically
be said to be under one roof" Is placed
at 1900.
The razing of the buildings now in
pre- Cgress was begun from the southwest
corner of Thirteen -and-a-half and d
streets.

tween 500 and 700 persons play ten
mis- on the nineteen municipal tennis
courts from sun-up until dark. The
demand far exceeds the supply.
There are sixteen baseball diamonds
on the White Lot Ellipse, on the
grounds around the Monument, and
in Potomac Park. Sixty-eight per-
mits for baseball clubs show that
something like fifteen hundred play
baseball daily, and of these permits
seven are for regularly established
baseball leagues.
The popularity of the swimming
pools is attested to by the fact that
patronage has increased until shifts
have been made necessary. Mors
than eleven hundred boys used the
pools on Tuesday morning, following
more than 150 mixed couples. We'd
nesday afternoon more than 1900
women and girls disported during
the four-hour period allotted. A
conservative estimate places the
daily attendance at 1000.
Polo, golf, and cricket have their
places and their patrons, and the de-
mand for opportunity for all the
manly and womanly sports is annu-
ally increasing. Washington works
but she also plays and does each
with equal enthusiasm.

on the part Of Virginians and a
most wise and appropriate ruling Of
the battlefield commission which
will result in the erection and dedi-
cation next October of a statue of

burg. No other day in all Lees life

word may be used. That morning

feat on the soil of Pennsylvania
showed him a military genius, a
brave soldier, a generous command.

superior. On that day he lost, lost

well, for "vincit qui Sc vincit"-

PREPARING M ODIFIED MILK.

When the baby reaches the aEe OF
eight and a half or nine months, breast
milk no longer meets the requirements
OF its growing body. and one then be-
gins supplementary feeding with modi-
fled cows milk.
Two Of the possible reasons for sub
stituting cows milk before nine months
are:
!. III health of mother or acute infec-
tious diseases after careful investiga-
ton by physician.
2. insufficient milk supply. which can
be remedied by carefully dieting the
mother.
How to modify milk-By modified
milk we mean cows milk mixed with
other things to make 1t as near mothers
milk as possible. The cows milk select
ed for modifying should be the cleanest.
best pasteurized cows milk obtainable,
and should be kept in cold Antil used.
Some of the things used in modifying
milk are: Boiled water. oatmeal water.
barley water. limewater and sugar.
The doctor should give the recipe by
which to prepare baby's milk. 1t Is as
important to have this supervised as 1t
is to have physician write prescrip-
ton for ones medicine. and the mother
should carefully carry out the doctor S
orders.
All babies should be carefully weigh
| ed at least twice a month and at this
| time the formula looked over to see II II
| is at that time properly suited to baby 6
| needs.
Necessary Equipment.
| Besides the carefully prescribed for.
mula the equipment necessary for pre-
pairing milk at homeland which should
| be kept exclusively for the baby and
| not used for other cooking, is:
| l. A saucepan to make barley watel
| or oatmeal water.
| 2. Small strainer.
| 3. Large pitcher to mix feeding.
| 4. Eight-ounce measure or pint grad
uate.
| 5. Funnel to fill bottles.
s. Teaspoon and tablespoon.
| I. Bottle brush.
8. Large pan in which to boil bottles
How to proceed with modification
Before you begin, wash your hands

no less of anything than has been or
dered. Modify milk as early in the
morning as possible. II you are using
oatmeal or barley or plain water. cook
them the night before and have cold
before using.
Intervals of Feeding.
Dissolve the sugar in the dilutant, and
strain then add prescribed quantity of
milk and stir well. FIJI graduated feed
ing bottles and carefully stop them with
cork or absorbent cotton and put on
Ice. Before giving the baby the bottle
should be shaken and placed in sauce
pan of warm water until 1t is. lukewarm
or about the temperature of breast
milk. Test this by dropping few drops
on the back of the hand.
Intervals of feeding should always be
regulated by physician, but should not
be oftener than three hours by the
clock,
How to clean bottles and nipples
After each feeding rinse the stopper
nipple and bottle in cold water and
scrub bottle with hot water and soap

While Many Other Cities Report
Decrease, Washington Has
Made Steady Increase.
RECORDS OF 122 CITIES
Last June 535 Structures Were
Erected At Total Cost OF
$1,142,428.

While scores Of other cities have suf-
fered a falling off In building construc-
tion in June this year as compared with
last, Washington reports the remark
able increase of q per cent in building
operations this year over last June.
This fact is brought out in a compila-
ton Of figures made by the Construction
News, covering l22 of the principal cities
of this country. OF the l22 cities con-
sidered, n show losses, while 80 show
gains, and the rest show no appreciable
change from last year
Last June in Washington there were
472 buildings erected at an estimated
cost of s9i2.S25. In 1915 so far there are
535 buildings constructed or under way
at a total cost of H.l42, AS
Other Cites Fall off.
Some other cities which show an in
crease in the number Of buildings evince
a falling off in the value of construction
work But Washington shows an in
crease all along the line.
Among the largest cities OF the coun-
try Philadelphia Is the only one show
ing an increase, and the Quaker City's
gain was but 2 per cent. Permits
taken out in. the 122 cities contemplated
the erection of 4542 buildings. at an
permits were asked for 25.s68 buildings
at a total cost of ssl ,97s2S2 The de
crease. all over the country, as indi-
| Gated by these figures, was % per
| cent
| In Washington the gain for the entire
| spring would be larger even than the
| figures for June. Under construction
are such large structures as the new
| Munsey building the new Central High
School. the rebuilding of the Western
| High School. and several large private
homes. not included in the June per-
mits.
Builders Are Confident.
Builders are confident that opera
tions will proceed at an increasing
ratio from now on. The unusual losses
elsewhere which Washington escaped.
have resulted in the tying up Of capi-
tai which is expected to find vigorous
| outlet in building.
Among the larger cities beside Wash
ington which showed gains were New
ark. Omaha. Paterson. n. j.; Harris
burg. Chattanooga. and New Britain.
Roth in New l ork and Chicago there
was falling off of 20 per cent; In
| Boston the loss was 33 per cent: In
| Cleveland. "a per cent; in Brooklyn, ~
per cent, and In Cincinnati 16 per cent.

WAShINGTON'S PLAYGROUND

When the Washington citizen
speaks of Fairgrounds he usually
has in mind the municipal play
grounds for children and he gives
little consideration to the fact that
Potomac Park is as a whole one of
the greatest Fairgrounds in this
country.
Figures obtained from John F.
Bethune, of the Office of Public
Buildings and Grounds, show that be-
