HOWARD PARK EAVORS
COMMUNITY GARDENING
Citizens Association DeVOtes Much
Attention to Vegetable Growing.

The spirit Of individual and COM
munity gardening prevailed at the
monthly business meeting Of the How
ard Park Citizens Association last
night in the Church Of Our Redeemer,
Eighth street near Barry place north
west.
Allan w. Gibson, of the Central
Garden Committee, told how Howard
Park citizens could organize the
youngsters OF the neighborhood in
garden clubs.
Three significant benefits derived
FROM the garden clubs" Mr.. Gibson
said. ARE that they educate the child
in his responsibility to himself, his
fellows, and his God: he learns that
he is a part OF and a help to the COM
munity, and while broadening his
mind he is doing a patriotic service"
Mr.. Gibson told the association OF
the Department Of Agriculture's process
Of canning vegetables without moisture.
The association will ask the Central
Garden Committee to request trustees
Of Howard University to loan a large
tillable plot to the association for a
community garden.
A dilapidated shed was reported as a
menace. and the committee on fire and
police protection will investigate.
The association will advise the Dis
trict Commissioners. to have street
cut through from Georgia avenue to
Florida avenue to relieve traffic through
narrow streets in the vicinity OF Barry
place.
Because many students at Howard
University will report to training camps.
the college for the first time in its his
tory closed without formal commence
ment. The diplomas will be mailed to
graduates. said the Rev. d. Wiseman.
president OF the citizens association.

tremely gallant charge on San Juan
HILL"
Capt. C. T. Stevens. OF the Second
Cavalry, late lieutenant Ninth cav
airy. says: = hereby certify that
on July 1, 1898, at the battle Of San
Juan, witnessed Colonel (then Lieu
tenant ColoneD Roosevelt, First
Volunteer Cavalry, U. S. A., mounted.
leading his regiment IN the charge
on San Juan. By his galIantry and
strong personality he contribute .
most materially to the success Of the
charge OF the cavalry division up San
Juan HILL"
There is other testimony. but IL is
believed that no person in the possess
sion of his senses will pay any furth-
er attention to the slurring remarks
concerning Colonel Roosevelt which
Mrs. Hale has seen Mt to make.

dermany's Peace Terms

It is significant that there has
been given out with apparent author
ity the German scheme for offering
peace terms with an apparent re-
nunciation of territory in France and
Belgium while contending for the re-
wards Of conquest in middle Europe.
Those plans contemplate the reten-
ton of Serbia and Roumania, which,
together with German control over
Austria, Bulgaria, and Turkey, would
leave that power infinitely stronger
than before the war. with the
purpose Of dominating Europe if not
the world merely postponed until re-
cuperation has been accomplished
for future effort.
If this is peace without annexa-
tons or indemnities. Russia has
been fully informed what the phrase
means in the German conception of
it And the United States will be
put on guard. Against this program
is the Presidents purpose, which has
nation is backing to the limit, that
the world must be made a safe place
for democracy.
Whenever these peace terms are
officially given out in the United
States we shall expect a rallying Of
the pacifsts urging their acceptance.
Forewarned is forearmed.

Departmental Delay

In the speeches of Senator Under
wood and Senator Smith Of South
Carolina yesterday an aggravated
case of delay in the executive de-
partments was shown, in the matter
of establishing a nitrate plant. The
bill appropriating twenty million dol
lars for that purpose passed the last
Congress and the question of deter
mining the water power site was
left to the Secretaries Of Agricul-
ture, War, and the Navy. The site
has not yet been selected, and the
time has been taken up in the effort
to decide the most economical method
of extracting nitrogen from the air.
It will take fourteen months to set
up the plant after the site has been
determined. Meanwhile. the price Of
Chilean nitrates has risen above all
bounds, due partly to the lack of
transportation facilities, and the
proposal to send Government ships
for nitrates to be sold to the farmers
has not met with departmental en-
couragement.
While Congress has been justly
criticised for useless delay, it must
be confessed that the all-day debate
in the Senate yesterday on the propo-
sition to re-commit the food control
bill, which everybody favored, did
throw a considerable amount Of
light upon procrastination in other
quarters.

To the Editor Of THE TINES:
Twenty-Five hundred college boys
are taking intensive training for of.
ficers in our terminating army at
local Fort Myer camp. Would it not
be OF more practical sense to seek
such from our old army, men who
had served two or more enlistnents?
More in harmony with the professed
principles OF democracy OF our re-
publican form OF government? Would
our railroads, factories, and lesser
employers seek such employees to ad-
vance in their business, or promote
tried and trained cnes?
Outside of army and navy we are
not presumed to have any caste" Is
1t not a mistaken idea to foster it
even there? II the American private
soldier Is patriotic enough to offer
limb and life for his country, should
he not have his chance to rise from
the ranks? It would be an incentive
for enlistment Of a better class Of
men, peace-time or wartime, II men

lessen courts-martlal and deserti',n.f
The French army today Is the most
democratic and best lighting force the
world has known. Each soldier still
carries "a marshars baton in his
haversack." There exists little snob-
berry there, and discipline seems all
1t should be; under modern condl-
tions all the average soldier needs is

PLAN TO REDUCE PRICE
OF PORK IS PROPOSED
Central Citizens Would Permit Far
mers to Take Garbage.

A plan to reduce the price OF at
least one foodstuff-pork-by permit
ting farmers in nearby Maryland and
Virginia to haul garbage from Wash
ington was advocated by Martin ].
Mcnamara, president of the Central
Citizens Association, at a meeting OF
the association in the North Capitol
Savings Bank last night.
Mr.. Mcnamara urged that the asso-
citation ask the Commissioners to re-
woke the police regulation which for
bids individuals from taking garbage
from the city. The resolution was re-
ferred to the police committee for a
report at the next meeting.
81 am reliably informed" said Mr..
Mcnamara, "that the waste from the
tables of this city would raise 5000
hogs on the farms in nearby Mary
land and Virginia"
The association declared war on
petty thieves who steal bread and
milk from doorsteps The police COM
mittee was instructed to ask Major
Pullman and the captain Of the Sixth
precinct for better police protection
from this annoyance.
At the request OF the High School
Teachers Association. the citizens
adopted a resolution urging justices
of the District Supreme Court to re-
appoint Ernest II. Daniel and William
T. Galliher members OF the Board Of
Education.
A special committee composed of
Robert McMackln, Bernard Rover. and
]. L. Holland was named to guard the
interests OF property owners in that
section when the next real estate as
sessment is made.
Bernard Rover. chairman of the
committee on streets and sidewalks.

pave the south side of H street, from
