Many Band Concerts
During Summer Months.

During Summer Months. n e n 7
of the park system Every day some
where in the city there is a band con
cert, from May to OCTOBER. Satursa y
afternoons the Marine Band plays in
the White House grounds where the
citizen population foregathers and
hears operate and popular music. In
other sections of the city the Wash
1neton barracks band and the Cavalry
band hold free open air concerts. so
that the Washingtonian does not lack
music The Cavalry band has now de-
parted for Mexico, so that the hand
equipment this summer has been more
limited but even SO. not one clear day
has gone by without a band concert
somewhere
another Improvement recently au-
thorized by Congress is the connecting
OF ROCK Creek Park and Potomac Park
which at present are separated bv a
section of unimproved land used large
ly for ash dumps. This has been art-
tated by the War Department for some
tlme and, now that the bill has passed
CONGRESS, Col, Harts. the military
executive in charge of the parks has
already put his men TO work at the,
project.
In his office is a small relief model of
this section as it is to look when COM
pictSu' oHoWiHt, neat groves OF maple
trees. flower beds and wide boulevards
traversing either side of Rock creek 1t
bears very little resemblance to the
way the place looks now, with its
small. muddy valley, surrounded by
clay hills, whose sides are marred by
tin cans and ashes and the lack OF
grass. Some of the refuse has already
been removed, however. and the work
of excavation and Improvement Is at
last under way.
Thus has the military man again set
an example to the rest of the world In
the matter of organization and admin
istration. From an unhealthy swamp.
the War Department lifted Potomac
Park and made ii one of the best
recreation parks in the country. The,
400 awkward squares and triangles 1t
has made cool. shady. Towering oases
in the midst of hot asphalt city, and
it has arranged that the people should
have music. With this record of eff
cheney to their credit, it IS to be re-
GREETED that the soldiers cannot be put
to planning city parks and growing
flowers in every city in the country.

DUMPING GROUND FOR OTHER
CITIES.

The Benevolent Society is still face
to face with the problem of taking
care not only of the resident needy
of this city but a mass of others
who have been furnished Transports
ton to this city by other towns and
counties, and given to understand
that Ardmore is a good place to get
food and clothing without the neces-
sity of working for same.
At a recent meeting of the society,
it was decided that in the future all
who applied for assistance will have
10 show mighty good case as to why
they came to Ardmore for this assist
ance, or they would not get help. Mrs
Kahn, president of the society, and
Mrs Curtis, probation officer, have
been very busy for the past three
weeks looking after the itinerants,
and they have about exhausted their
patience
Mrs. Curtis states that the city
and county officers will be called upon
in the future to investigate the new
comers, and if it can be done, they
will be shipped back to where they
came from, rather than be allowed to
remain charges of the society.
The Board of County Commission
ers also has calls made upon it at
every meeting, and yesterday an Old
man asked that transportation be fur
nished him to Galveston, Tex, where
he said he has relatives living. He
was furnished with a ticket. This is
but one instance of everyday occur
rences with the Benevolent society
The officers have been called upon
so often for transportation that they
have finally decide dnot to furnish
same to anyone in the future, but
when deemed eXpedient to rid the
city of someone, ask the police de-
partment to make up the purse, which
they always do A call has been is.

be taken.

have concentrated 0, 200 guns and
three divisions of infah y on a front
of three-quarters of mile. The
battle reached its height on Dec. 2S.
when the Russians attacked fourteen
times and there was furious hand
to-hand fighting.
While the battle on the borders of
| Eessarabia is apparently still far from
decided, each day finds the Russians
claiming the occupation of additional
positions, and Petrograd believes that
if this process continues a short time
longer break must come somewhere
in the lines of the central powers.
The whole energy of the Russian
army is being directed to making a
gap between the German armies in
the center and the southern Austrian
forces. The desperate attacks in the
region of Koliki are designed to pre-
vent this The fighting must con-
tinue for a considerable time yet,
but on the result will depend in a
large measure the strategy of both
sides when spring comes.
The Balkan correspondent of the
Times says he learns the Bulgarian
minister at Athens has had another
conference with King Constantine,
to whom was given an assurance of
King Ferdinands friendly intentions
and unwillingness to violate Greek
territory.
"The minister promised" the cor
respondent adds, that should Bulgar-
ian troops cross the frontier it would
only be with their allies and they
would confne themselves to the eX-
pulsion of the enemy from Saloniki
without claiming any rights of oc-
cupation."
No important events have taken
place on the western line in France
except the repulse by the French of
a German attack in the region of
Tahure.
On the Austro-Italian line a return
of clear weather has brought about
a renewal of the bombardments along
the IsOnzo front.
