suggested in an article appearing today
In the Daily Star.
The Star. which recently gave warn

dreadnaughts equipped with seventeen
inch guns may be found true, declared

OF such an invasion and IL keeping a
large force of men In England to meet
the expected attack.
There IL growing feeling that an

That the military authorities share this
view, but these must not be discussed
here and Il Is sufficient to consider the

The Star declared the Germans are

A NEW PARK FOR THE NORTH
RAST

Widespread agitation for the pur-
chase Of the Dean estate for use as
. public park is well directed. But
one other item in the District esti-
mates should not be neglected. That
il the recommendation of the pur-
chase of the Patterson tract, in The
northeast section, for $4,000.
As much as any Washingtonian
would like to see the historic Dean
estate preserved as a park, he who
surveys the relative need of the two
sections, the rich section about the
former, and the large congested area
Of small homes in the vicinity of the
Patterson tract, must come to the
conclusion that the northeast need
for q park is much stronger than
that of the northwest.
Within a few blocks of the Dean
estate is Rock Creek Park. Five OF
six blocks to the east is the Mt.
Pleasant playground, at Fourteenth
street and Park road. Even nearer
is the smaller summer playground at
1910 Kalorama road. All about this
section are small parks which afford
breathing spaces.
The entire northeast section has
not a single large park. Nearly q
mile away from the Patterson tract
is Stanton Square. Only one play
ground is to be found in the north,
east, the Rosedale grounds, nearly a
mile from the Patterson tract.

ANOTHER CHANCE FOR
PUBLISH

When Messrs. Jesse Willard and
Frank Moran enter the ring at New
York there will be moro at stake
than the purse for which they will
battle. Even this sum, mounting in
sire to the wellrknown kings ran
som, will not represent what really
depends upon the conduct Of this
gladiatorial spectacle.
The fight will offer another chance
for the rehabilitation Of prize fight
ing. Once rated among the most
popular Of all sports and styled
the manly art, pugilism, through
the Vaccinations of it's alleged
friends, came into such disrepute
that it has been barred in most
American commemorative.
The willard Moran bout will be
under the direct supervision of the
New York State commissioners. It
is the duty of this board to see that
all the rules and regulations sur
rounding the fight are religiously ad-
hered to. To its credit it must be
said that all Of the preliminary ar
engagements appear to be distinctly
con the level"
If properly conducted the meeting
Of Willard and Moran may rebound
to the permanent benefit of pugil-
ism; let some untoward incident oc-
cur, a flake" be suspected, or the
vast throng become unruly, and prize
fighting will be speedily relegated to
depths from which it will require an
other decade to emerge.

A WORD ROR THE REvlLED
APARTMENT HOUSE

Well, the years in the spring, the
squirrels are in the parks, and have
you heard that if the Romans hadn't
lived in apartment houses Gibbon
might have been shy classic? II
violins hadn't been invented, Nero
might not have fiddled after the
alarm had been turned in.
Several gentlemen explained to a
Washington audience the other
morning how the apartment house
wended its serpentine way from
Rome northward, skipped over Eng
land, landed plump in the United
States, and behold! There are men
in Washington who can't make their
own furnace fires.
To have a home, a la John How
ard Payne, one must expose the four
walls thereof to the breezes, and in
trench the family therein to preserve
it's Integrity" Raymond Hitchcock's
"Oh, How I Love My Little Bachelor
Apartment" even with the "bach-
elor" left out, is the battle song Of
modern decadence.
Now, why, pray, must the head of
a family know how to mako his fur
mace fire? We warrant there arc
women in these safe apartments
who could not run a spinning wheel,
or turn their hand to churning but
ter. Feminism has relieved the
woman of that drudgery, but mascu-
linism seems not to have held it's
own.
One of the speakers vert so far as
to attribute the success of Germany
in the present war to the fact that
her families hocked by themselves.
AS a strict matter of fact we have
it from other sources that these
Germans have conceived, to a
marked extent, the happy thought of
the community apartment house, in
which the jewellers hold stock, and
they may sell this stock to other
tenants when they get out.
Days when the kindling had to be
cut, the cows to be brought home,
the chores to be done, when ones
face scorched and back froze beside
the open fireplace, have memory
mellowed by passing years. But
even those who acclaim the value Of
these things do not show signs Of
reverting to that habit of life.
In factories, stores, industries.
things have been Strengthened out,
and efficiency has been gained by CO.
operation. Why not in the home +?
Yes, the "home" part of house is a
spiritual attainment; why should the
dumbwaiter and the janitor be
such bugaboos of the home spirit?
AS a matter Of fact they are not.
Home life survives in apartments,
and survives more fully because Of
the irksome duties that need not be
done. Across span of years one
may catch a glimmer of spiritual
significance in attending to the fur
mace, shoveling the snow, and wash
ing off the front porch; but the
glamour Of the furnace grows colder
as proximity to the glowing Goals
grows closer.

E. B. McCutcheon, chief game
warden for the state of North Dakota,
has issued notices to sportsmen
throughout the state. informing them
of the laws governing hunting with.
out licenses and the penalty that is
attached to violations. The chief
warden also urges that hunters OBJ
tain their legal permits at once as
the number Of applications to be
made when the season opens will be
so large that the county officials will
be unable to handle all requests inn
mediately and a delay may be necessi-
tated.
BY obtaining the licenses at an early
date. it will be possible to take to the
fields as soon as the season opens.
but by waiting until the eleventh
hour, 1t is probable that applicants
will be forced to await their turn and
may be caused considerable incon-
venience.
At present there have been 1so IL
censes issued at the office of County
Auditor Hans Anderson. Last year
during the season. nearly 1900 IL
censes were issued. The cost of each
license is one dollar for residents.

FALSE REPORT OF
|NfANT|Lf PARALYSIS
Report of Dread Disease Foundless-
Case of Paralysis Not of
POliomyelitis.

For time this morning persistent
reports to the effect that there was
case of infantile paralysis in the
city. were terrifying many residents
in the vicinity of the University. 1t
was reported that a lady visiting at the
home of A. Mloritz. 2224 Jennie ave-
nue.. had been stricken with the dread
disease Monday afternoon.
An investigation proves that this re-
port Is false. AS matter of fact,
Mrs. f. c. Weare of Minneapolis, who
Is visiting at the Moritz home, suffer-
ed a paralytic stroke last evening. 1t
was feared that the stroke would be
fatal. since she has been i'll for sew
eral years. A telegram was dispatch
ed to her husband in Minneapolis and
he was able to catch No. 9 on the
Great Northern last evening, al
though that train left only seven min
utes after he received the message.
Mr.. Weare got off at the University
station and in answer to inquiries
stated that he had been called here
by the illness Of his wife who had
been stricken with paralysis. This
was interpreted as infantile paralysis
and was evidently the source Of the
report which soon became general
over the city.
Mrs. Weare is greatly improved to-
day and her husband will return to
the twin cities tonight.
