WAY To
LASTING PEACE
Balfour Approves Wilson's Plan
for World Federation.
ENTENTE WILL FIGHT ON
Prime Requisite For Discussion VI
Peace-As President Lays Ground
Work, Entente Will Try To
Weaken Germany.

ashington.-England has pointed
the way to President Wilson for con-
tinuing his work toward a lasting
peace.
In the supplementary communication
forwarded to this Government from
Lord Balfour, officials have drawn the
following conclusions:
The Entente is fighting to prevent
future aggression.
She feels President Wilson can do
much toward evolving some plan for
an international preventive force to
limit future wars, and by intimation
has conveyed the suggestion that he
pursue this course.
While the President is working out
this plan and gaining sympathy for 1t
as one of the prime requisites for gen.
eral peace discussion, the Entente
will fight on in an effort to crush, or
at least weaken the military power
and prestige of her enemies.
Balfour, it is pointed out, lays para
mount importance on the necessity for
halting future aggressors. He says. in
fact, that while territorial readjust-
ments sought by the Entente Powers
might allay future danger somewhat,
they would provide no sufficient
security" against recurrence of war.
Such security, he concludes, is pos
sible only with some form OF interna-
tional sanction" TO stand behind inter
national law and treaties for prevent
ing or limiting hostilities.
Balfour's commu-, Sation is held to
be a suggestion that President Will
sons sphere of activity for the pres
ent at least should be limited to laying
the ground work for some such inter
national force.
In the meantime the Entente re-
avows its purpose to remove or weak
en- existing causes of international
unrest" in Europe and attempt to
create popular dissatisfaction over
methods pursued by the Central
Powers.
Balfour admits the difficulty in ac-
complishing these aims, but declares a
durable peace possible only in their
fulfilIment, fortified by joint action of
civilized nations to enforce peace, once
it is attained.
President Wilson favors use of both
arms of the countries defense to in
sure peace, in spite Of recent reports
that he felt such a league should be
armed with only moral suasion.
Some time ago the President pictur-
esquely described to some friends his
ideas OH the subject by saying he ia
vored an international peace patrol
of sufficient strength to say mo" when
war threatened and to "show the
would-be aggressor that the mo- car
ried bite with it."
The President continues to hold this
opinion Of the character of such a
league of nations should assume. but
is open-minded on details.

CONCRETE GROWS IN FAVOR
Use of That Material in House Con-
struction Is Becoming Popular
With All Glasses of Builders.

Since the advent Of the concrete
block industry, some rapid steps have
been made in house construction. The
special facings which it is possible to
apply to the concrete blocks make them
a solution of almost any problem in
house building where something special
is desired in finish. BY the use of white
cement in connection with suitable
coloring material almost any shade or
tint may be obtained and q very close
imitation of highly expensive stone
may be built at reasonable cost.
Marble, granite, sandstone and lime
stone may be initiated with such ez'
actness that there is no advantage
gained in the use cf the true materia!
A house just put up in WATERFOWL
is un example of the beautiful Cftcc;
which may be obtained by the use OF
special face concrete blocks applied to
the construction of the porch and Chilli
ney of frame house. The facing usc't
in this case is intended to initiate white
marble. This facing consists Of nor
tar made Of some brand of White
cement and marble clippings .--Bostoi'

W HELPS
MEANS LOOKING INTO FUTURE
Expert Who Has mace
City Planning Outlines obtisets
SOUGHT to Be Obtained.

Although a wide interest in the SUBJ
ject of city planning is manifest to-
day, both In Europe and America
there appears to be uncertainty as to
what it precisely is. According to q
distinguished authority whom Mr..
Lewis quotes: "City planning simply
means getting ready for the future in
city growth. It is the guidance into
proper channels of community's I'M
pulses toward a larger and broader
life. On the face Of it, it has to do
with things physical-the laying out OF
streets and parks and rapid-transit
lines. But it's real signicaince is far
deeper; proper city plan has pow
erful influence for good upon the men,
tai and moral development Of the peo-
ple, It is the firm base for the build
ing Of healthy and happy CON-
munity."
Mr.. Lewis studies in turn, the incep
ton and development of this city plan
ming movement emphasizing the need
Of intrusting its successful executive
to "duly authorized city officials or a
special commissioner created for the
purpose" the correction of mistakes,
and the general problems of transpor-
tation. In the delightful chapter, Scar
den Cities" he declares that the gar
den city movement goes much further
than to provide attractive homes for
those who live in or near large cities
or centers of industry. 1T is really
a protest against the extreme central
ization which has lately been the ten
dency in city development" Later
chapters are devoted to a comparison
of city planning legislation in England.
Germany and the United States, the
municipal progress made under this
legislation, methods of financing city
plan, and various municipal land poll
cies. Having indicated in the body Gf
his book "what a city plan is, how
it is developed, the various problems
to be solved and the conditions which
it Is necessary to provide for or guard
against" Mr.. Lewis points out in his
concluding chapters the opportunities
and responsibilities of the modern me-
chanical engineer, who is today max
ing "the most substantial contribution
toward the orderly development and
administration Of our cities" Indeed.
he declares the basic purpose Of his
book to be 'to bring home to them
this responsibility and awaken in them
a realization Of this opportunity.

Waning Free Life.

Do not forget that old trees starve
to death just as surely as young trees,
though by reason of greater bulk and
a far-reaching root system they do not
SO quickly show the need of food nor
so quickly succumb. Stable manure
dug OR plowed in 20 or more feet
around the tree will do as much good
as anything. Conifers that are
trimmed up from the bottom and the
soil raked clean or sown to grass right
up to the trunk generally undergo a
slow but sure loss of vigor. Sell should
be occasionally enriched and dug up
deeply and the needles always left for
q mulch.

Common Sense Penal Treatment.

Dayton, O., used to treat its workhouse
prisoners as most other cities treat
ihem-that is, put them in a cell ano
let them stay there in idleness, eating
Door food at the expense of the city
until their terms had expired. Under
the commission the workhouse has
been made clean and all the prisoners
given work in the open air. The wom-
an prisoners have been set to work
making towels and bed clothing. Male
prisoners are taken outdoors and used
for city work as day laborcrs. The re-
suit is that the city gets the benefit OF
the prisoners work and the prisoner
gets the moral and physical advantage
of outdoor eXercise.-Exchange.

ADMIRAL DEWEY
LAID TO REST
Public Honors Seldom Equaled
Accorded Dead Hero.
SALUTE OF 10 GUNS FIRED
Representatives of Many Lands JON
Americans in Paying Last
Tribune to the Hero
of Manila Bay

Observation-Disclosures Dewey, the
hero of Manila Bay, was buried at
Arlington Saturday with public honors
seldom equaled in the nations history.
After services in the rotunda of the
Capitol the body was followed down
Pennsylvania avenue and across the
Potomac to its resting place by
cortege including all the officials of
the Federal Government, the diplo-
matte corps, ranking officers of the
army and navy, many military and
naval bodies in uniform, committees
of the House and Senate and repre-
sentatives OF many patriotic societies
and other organizations.
Flags on American public buildings,
forts and naval vessels throughout the
world were at half-mast, and at noon,
senior warships Of the American Navy
everywhere fired farewell salute of
10 minute guns.
During the services at the Capitol,
which were attended by President
Wilson and many other officials and
distinguished men and women, the
body rested on the same catafalque
and at the same spot in the rotunda
where Lincoln, Garfield and Mckinley
lay in state. Chaplain Frazier,
Dewey's and the Olympia's chaplain at
Manila, offlciated.
A brief ceremony at the Dewey resi-
dence, attended by near relatives, by
the President and Mrs. Wilson and by
| a few close friends, preceded the Capt.
tol observances, and, in conformity to
| the Admiral's expressed desire, the
Annapolis midshipmen were the only
military escort when the body was
| taken from the home.
The larger military escort following
| included the entire corps Of midshlp-
men, the bluejackets of the battleship
New Hampshire, marines from Nor
| folk and Philadelphia, artillerymen
from Fort Monroe and points along the
| Potomac, and many other units. Ac-
companied by their officers on foot,
they marched in the inverse order OF
their rank in special full-dress uni
| form.
Behind the military in carriages was
the President, the Cabinet, the Chief
Justice and Associate Justices of the
Supreme Court, the diplomatic corps
| and the committees of Congress. The
Society of Manila Bay, made UP of Off
GERS who were under fire with Dewey
| at Manila, was given special place
in the military section, but the com
mittee of other patriotic societies and
miscellaneous organizations rode be
hind the Government officials.
By order of President Wilson, all
executive departments were closed
throughout the day. All business
houses in Washington were closed
from 11.30 to 1890 o'clock.
Navy officers said that perhaps the
most unusual of all the honors paid
the dead hero was the salute of Is
guns fired at noon by American war
ships 1t is the salute of the Secre
tary of the Navy, and II guns is tbe
designated adnirals salute. The extra
honors, given under order of Secre
tary Daniels, was extended in recogni
ton of Dewey's rank, unique in Ameri
can history, as the Admiral of the
Navy.
