How Far Will

This Picture Shows His
Foolish Hope.

Kaiser into the dreary desert

weapons, wrecked lives =

the phantoms of history, seek
ing to be one of them.
To the great three-Alex-
ander, Caesar, Napoleon
with typical conceit he adds
two second-raters Of his own
blood, Frederick and Theo-
dorie.
How far will he travel
toward his ideal, toward the
reputation of Alexander, who
had conquered the world and
died long before he reached
the Kaiser's age; of Napo-
leon, who included Prussia
among other piaythings; of
Caesar, like. the other two, q
mental giant first, a conquer
ing murderer second.
-
Alexander was made king
when by his mothers order
his father was murdered. He
travelled and conquered over
the world as he willed until
death took him. Then all that
he had done crumbled.
Caesar was a politician

Fred s. Walker says:
"The Chamber Of Commerce is on
the fence In the telephone squabble.
These tired business men, / presume,
haven't yet decided which side d
going to win and don't know which
way to jump. Although technically
unqualified to take one side or the
other, wonder If they are qualified
to judge whether the service they
have been getting is satisfactory"
Speaking Of new loops, and so
forth, why don't the WREC0, as
was suggested several years ago,
run their Ninth street tracks out
to U, v, or W streets (which should
be opened up) and connect with
Georgia avenue? That will take
about so per cent of the traffic OF
Florida avenue, between Seventh
and Ninth, where q great many
tie-ups occur.
Or, to do the thing in the right
way, run the Georgia avenue cars
straight down Seventh street.
What's the use of all this twisting
around, anyway. OF course, this
would involve a merger, but a little
thing like that don't bother me.
Ever bounce your flivver across
the car tracks on New York avenue
at Tenth street?
The other day / noticed one of
the Districts iron-wheel tool
wagons lying Just below New York

in the car tracks cost the District
money. And the paving at this point
is by no means exceptional.
