a large metropolis composed of indus
trial villages Is the garden city. But
me garden city Is an effort not to re-
build cities but to locate new outlying
towns that will combine the virtues
and eliminate the evils of the city
anu the country. In this very worthy
enort the garden city has a romantic
appeal for us all. And yet the garden
city follows no particular principle of
city evolution. but Is an effort to curb
city evolution at a point before the
tendency toward congestion becomes
an evil force.
The garden city Is by three things
distinguished from an ordinary town.
1t Is planned before II is built. Ii

cleanliness. beauty and hcalthfulness

which few achieve. Lastly. the garden
city must stop growing when it has

a garden city aud become a badly
scattered town with n distressing and
unsolved problem Of transportation, or
else tho taboo on congestion will he

London. Nov. 25.-"Reynolds's News

informed, and controlled by Sir Henry

in the House of Commons, will publish
tomorrow a remarkable article, en-
titled "The Rumsnian Outlook" 1t
says:
at Is we'll that the British public
should realize the length of the war as
we'll as the fact that the future OF
the British Empire is now being set
tied on the plains Of Rumania. No
amount Of special pleading on the part
Of the apologists for the government
can alter this fact
Nothing since the beginning of the
war has happened, nor is anything likely
TO have a more powerful effect in the
whole position, than the threatened
crushing of Rumania. Il is not only
tina. Germany will get as much wheat
and oil in the new territory as will
keep them going for another year, but
it will lend strength TO the hands OF
that arch German spy, King Constan-
tine. at a moment when it is essential
to the Allies position that Venizelos
be materially strengthened.
AS we stated last week, the British
government weren't without full warn
ing of the catastrophe likely to happen
unless proper and adequate steps were
taken to provide for the threatened
German onslaught. But like so many
other things in this war, the British
government only woke up to the dan
gers Of the situation when it was too
late"
Tho article proceeds to deal with ru-
mors OF reconstruction of the govern

be regarded as a fair microcosm OF the
