In this letter the colonel also ex-

cribed as probably the most po-
tent instrumentality for peace in
the world" but that Americas navy
should be second in strength.

Attempt to Club the Senate

Real Fight on Administration
Measure Is to Come When
Committee Reports
BY c. w. Gilbert

WASHINGTON, March 2.-Mcmbers
Of Congress think that President Will
son in failing to reorGanize the War
Industries Board is attempting to club
the Senate into passing the Overman CO.
ordination bill. 1t is reported that to
every Senator and Representative who
goes to the White House to call the
Presidents attention TO some fault in
the administration of the war the Pres
ident says: eyes, | know all about
that; | am fully informed. Give me
the Overman bill and it will be all
corrected"
Senators understand that he plans a
reorganization of the War Industries
Board which will make it in effect a
Ministry of Munitions. Yet the re-
organization does not take place. The
War Industries Board has been since
the middle of January without chair
man. Members of Congress who want
to see the war efficiently prosecuted
deplore the failure to reorganize the
War Industries Board. And apparent
~ the Presidents position is going to
be that this delay is all the fault of
congress. IT it would give him the
Overman bill the War Industries Board
would be reorganized.
II reorganization waits upon the

Will move to amend the Overman bill
by substituting for it the war cabinet.
bill or the munitions chief bill. which
ever seems to have the strongest sup
port IN the Senate. a long debate and
hard fight will follow.
Senator's have been called to the
White House. They have been lecturcd
and told that they and the President
are trying to do the same thing. only
in different ways. And they are invited
to trust the President. who knows all
and who, given authority, will correct
everything. Specifically they arc not
told how or what faults will be cor
rected. They hear. not from the Presi-
dent, that the War Industries Board is
to be reorganized, and they conclude
that it will be. when reorganized, virtu-
ally Ministry Of Munitions. But they
do not know.
Since the Military Affairs Committee
virtually postponed further hearings,
investigation began. At that time this
knowledge gathered, like electricity at
the positive pole. until it discharged
and there was an explosion. A new
charge is gathering. This is inevitable.

Cultivated Spring Wildhowers

The flowers that bloom in the spring,
though never lacking appreciation, have
not hitherto been cultivated-the fami-
lar wild flowers, that is to say. But it
is beginning to be different.
Double" buttercups of several vari-
cites are now being grown in green
houses and are in much demand Be-
fore long, doubtless, the dandelion will
be cultivated. There is no reason why
it might not be developed into a magni-
ficent bloom six inches in diameter,
with curly, golden petals. The original
wild chrysanthemum was hardly bigger
than the dandelion of to-day
Indeed, dandelions are already cul-
tivated in New England, though only
as spring vegetable. Improved field
dasies are now grown on large scale
in hothouses, and in winter fetch a
high price at the florists.
The Government Plant Bureau has
recently found out how to grow the
trailing arbutus" (most admired of all
spring fiowers) under glass, and before
long its cultivated blooms will be on
the market in winter.--Philadelph

Soon to Decide Fate Of
Old St. John S Chapel
City May Save Part Of Structure
Menaced by Varick Street
WideDino

a decision is expected soon from the
city as to What disposition is to be
made Of old s.. Johns Chapel, one Of
the historic possessions of Trinity
Corporation. 1t is the only structure
that has SO far escaped unscathed in
the widening Of Narck Street for the
Seventh Avenue extension improve
ment. In the planning of this widen
ing it was thought that it would be
necessary to tear down tho fore part
of the church-thc portico, with the
steeplc over il.
The condemnation of property for
the Seventh Avenue extension was
begun in September, 1913. Last July
the commissioners filed their report of
awards, covering 267 properties which
were taken in part or in their entirety
for the improvement. These awards
totalled $5,600,oo0 The claims for
damages submitted by TIE owners
amounted to about $4,000, 900 On
March ii and - the commissioners
will hear objections TO the awards and
assessments. 1t is estimated that the
entire cost Of the Improvement will be
about $9,000,000 of which V3 per cent
Will be borne by owners in the dis
trict bounded by Broadway and the
Hudson River from Liberty to Fifty
ninth Street, II per cent by owners
who have property within 100 feet on
either side of the extension, IL per
cent by Bronx owners and per cent
by Brooklyn owners. Richmond and
Queens have not been asked to con-
tribute toward this public improve
ment.
