DEAN TRACT FOR PARK,
Mr.. BR0WNL0W'S PLEA
Urges That Efforts Be Made to OBJ
tain Early Action by
Congress.
Fears Property Will Be Sold to
Builders and the Opportunity
Lost Forever.

| Reasons why the residents of WASH
ington should make special effort at
| this time to bring about a congress
sional appropriation for the purchase
of the Dean tract for park purposes
| were set forth in a talk given before
! the committee on. parks and reserva-
tions of the Washington Board of
Trade yesterday afternoon by District
| Commissi oner Brownlow.
| The Dean tract is 7I4-acre plot
bounded by Connecticut avenue and
10Th street and Florida avenue 1t is
known as Oak Lawn.
! Mr.. Brownlow explained that unless
the tract is purchased for park pur-
poses in the near future the ground
probably will be sold to private indi-
| viduals and utilized for residences and
| apartment sites. The Dean estate has
held the property for many years, hop
ing that it would be acquired by the
government and used as a park. Sew
| eral offers for more than Loco, 900
have been refused for the property.
Commissioner BrQwnlow said that
the estate is willing to sell the prop
erty to the government for s625. 900.
Real estate men and others versed in
| land values, he said, declare it is worth
about twice that much.
Grounds Already Beautiful.
| Buying the Dean property will be
like buying a furnished house." said
Mr.. Brownlow. "It will only be neces-
sary to spend small amount of money
to make it one of the most beautiful
parks in the country. 1t is covered with
stately oak trees and in the center of
| the tract there is a residence which
could be utilized for concessions, such
as a tearoom and refreshment booth,

FOR the beauty of thespark to material
ze. We would have a beautiful park
from the very outset.
For many years the Dean estate
has been keeping up the grounds ard
paying taxes and carrying charges. 1t
has always been one of the show places
of Washington. Members of the Dean
family want to see it retained in its
original state. but unless it is soon
purchased l fear they will he forced
to sell it to private individuals. The
beautiful Barber estate, on 14th street
was lost to the city because Congress
delayed in purchasing it, and unless
an appropriation is made in the near
estate, too"
Mr. Brownlow discussed general plans
for park development in Washington,

Navy Aids Aviation Corps.

Practical encoura cement is given the
movement to organize aviation sec
tions in the naval militia by the de-
cision of the Navy Department to al
low gasoline, oil, hangers and certain
kinds of repairs from federal funds,
That action is expected to give impetus
to the movement to establish aviation
sections not only in the naval militia
but also in the National Guard. as il is
probable the War Department will
make similar offer to encourage the
DEVELOPMENT Of aviation sections in the
National Guard. Twenty-Five states
have naval militia organizations. and
forty-eight states have National Guard
organizations.

RADIO WARNS OF
U-BOAT NEAR u. S.
Vessels Told to Look Out
For Hostile Ship-Two German Sub
marines May Be Planning Raid
Many Vessels in Danger Zone.

New York, Nov. 27.-Six steamships
arriving here today from European and
West Indian ports report they caught
wireless warnings yesterday to keep q
watch for belligerent warships, but
none was observed. The incoming ves-
sells took such precautions as shrouding
the lights during darkness and having
the lifeboats swung out. The arrivals
today included the American liner
Lapland, from Liverpool; the Italian
ships Dup DAostaand and Nipoli, from
MEDITERRANEAN ports; the Danish ves-
sci FNrederik VIII, from Scandinavian
ports; the Brazos, from Porto Rico.
and the Burmudian, from Bermuda.
Apprehension still is felt in shipping
circles here in view of the large num-
her of passenger and freight steam
shops nearing this port and the re-
ported proximity of German subma-
rines. Rumor that two German sub
marines, ihaye, broken thru the allied
Gordon as5 w5re on their way to the
Atlantic coast received recognition in
the general warning sent out last night
by the British cruiser Lancaster. The
warship, stationed fifteen miles south-
east, of Sandy Hook, cautioned all
steamships flying the flags Of the en-
tente allies to beware of hostile sub
boats on this side of the Atlantic.
Not since the U-53 entered Newport
harbor, Oct. 7, and on the following day
sank several British merchant vessels,
has there been SO much uneasiness in
marine quarters. -.
Almost a score of French and Brit
ish merchantmen have sailed in the
last two days and all these vessels are
in the zone supposed to be most dan
gerous. number of large steamers
ALSO are approaching Boston and
