PLAN FOR FUTURE GROWTH
Reasons Why Towns Development
Should Be Looked To Many Years
Before II May Come.

This is the spirit Of the publication,
bnt under the heading Provision, Pre-
vention and Preparedness" the editor
lays down certain principles that apply
generally and will be repeated In all
sorts Of variations at the joint housing
and planning conference. These prin-
ciples run as follows, and are worth
quoting:
city planning Is the exercise of
municipal imagination. It is the rel
entific and expert vision Of inevitable
city growth and the preparation of
plans to provide for that growth. It
is municipal provision, municipal pre-
vention and municipal preparedness.
"City planning Is the civic sense that
refuses to build today what must be
torn down tomorrow; that refuses to
believe that the future will not be
greater than the past; that refuses to
act on the theory that the growth of
ten years gone by will equal the
growth of ten years to come.
City planning is the wisdom that
insists the distrust of the future in
sures distress in the future; that doubt
of future growth insures beyond doubt
an unhealthy growth; that lack Of
preparation for growth means future
expense in correction of unregulated
growth.
'City planning Is economy. It IL not
the economy Of doing without. Doing
without is not economy. 1t may be ex-
travagance. A city that does without
parks and Fairgrounds in abundance
is extravagant in life and health. A
city that ignores an opportunity for
the acquisition Of the things that make
for health and happiness may lose the
opportunity ACKNOWLEDGMENT

OVER 100000 IN FRANCE.

Of the Allies.

Washington.-More than 100000
American soldiers have gone overseas

agemrnt and assistance which Lafay-
cite and Rochambeau brought to
America, Secretary Baker told the
French alpine chasseurs in bidding
them farewell here Monday at the

ment some weeks ago concerning the

was that 100000 men had sailed for
the battle front.
Attending the exercises were M.
Jusserand, the French ambassador,
representatives of the French high
commission, Mr.. Bakers staff and
many government officials.

Chinese Merchants Forced to
Change Methods.
Restricted Credits Since War Began
Puts Stop to Aoe-Old
Custom.

New York.-The beneficial effects Of
restricted credits In China since the
war started In 1914. which have forced
the Chinese merchants to do business
pretty much on a cash basis, were
particularly noticeable In the unusual
ly small number of failures on Chi
nese New Years day. which Is the
annual settlement day In the Chinese
commercial world.
According to Consul General George
f. Anderson Of Hongkong. banking in
terests in China have found that the
demand for accommodations has
fallen off tremendously during the last
three years.
Prior to the war ard from time I'M
memorial this annual settlement day
has entailed efforts Of every sort on
the part of the Chinese to raise money
for liquidating their debts accumulated
during the year.
Frequently they have had to sell
much of their stock in business at a
great loss. even personal property as
well. in order to raise sufficient funds
to ''save their face" as 1t Is called.
An annual street fair for the sale Of
all sorts of property. personal and
otherwise. has been an old-established
custom in Hongkong for generations.

time both foreign and domestic banks

the house owners expenses would be
great deal less. A large number of
people neglect the care which should
be given to the upkeep Of their roofs.

PEELED to go TO the unavoidable ex-
pense of paying for the installation Of
new roofing.
After heavy transforms. especially
in the spring and winter months, the

NAVAL C0NVOYSF FOR
C0AsTW|SE SHIPS
STEADILY EXPANDING PROGRAM
OF DEFENSE BEING PUT IN
OPERATION AGAINST RAIDS.
System Will Be Continued Until the
End Of the War, or at Least Until
All Danger of Submarine
Attacks Has Passed.

Northumberland conveys for
coastwise shipping are being estab-
lished by the navy department, it was
learned Saturday night.
Indications were given at the depart
ment that the convoy system for coast
wise vessels will be continued until
the end of the war, or at least until
all danger Of further submarine raids
on this side of the Atlantic Is re-
moved.
Taken in conjunction with uncOn-
firmed reports from neutral countries
that the German high seas fleet Is pre-
pairing for a major stroke against allied
commerce generally. the information
gives an indication Of the steadily ex-
panding program Of defense being put
into operation against further raids.
1.-THE vigilance of the navy depart
ment," declared Secretary Of the Navy
Daniels, will be maintained so long
as there is a submarine unaccOunted
for"
Asked IL he would bring back any
naval units from European waters,
Secretary Daniels said:
1.-THE war Is across the water. That's
where our war vessels must be. The
presence of a submarine off this coast
is harassing and annoying. But 1t is
not the war"
Mr.. Daniels added that every ship
that went overseas is and will be ade-
Quately protected. 1t is known that
all important vessels are carried I'M
der convoy. The secretary said the
supply of anti-submarine guns is be-
ing satisfactorily augmented and that
gun and trained gun crew is avail
able for every transatlantic ship.
The arming of coastwise shipping
also Is being considered. AS soon as
need of the transatlantic vessels for
guns has been entirely met, supplies
will be available for coast ships which
1t is deemed wise to arm.

SAFEGUARD THE sO-CENT GAS.

vTIHE WickS Bill, which provides that the Public Service Com
mission shall have power to fix gas rates, Notwithstanding
that a different rate or charge may have been prescribed by
statute or otherwise" has all the earmarks Of legislation designed
to deprive the New York public of the assurance Of sO-cent gas.
To cut off gas consumers in this city from the continued benefit
Of the socent rate would be to destroy the fruits Of hard-won victory
and put New York again at the mercy OF the gas companies.
The Evening World fought long and hard for 8Ocent gas. The
Evening World made a subsequent fight to extend the SOcent rate
10 certain excepted sections Of Brooklyn. Both these fights ended
IN the complete triumph Of so-cent gas. The Evening World is not
going to stand by now and see the guarantees Of so-cent gas syy
legssted out Of the way.
The record Of the Public Service Commission In dealing with
gas companies is anything but reassuring. Nobody has forgotten that
It was mainly the relations between Public Service Commissioner and
Brooklyn lighting corporations that discredited the Commission and
forced q drastic OverhauIng Of its membership at the close Of the
year 1918.
Eighty-cent gas needs the solid safeguarding Of the statute
There is nothing but danger in putting 1t wholly into the hands OF
the Public Service Commission. Experience has shown that from
that precarious protection the so-cent rate is too easily dragged into
the courts, to be kept hanging there for months and years while the
public pays higher charges.

HEAVY ON THE WRONG SIDE.

TvHE British Admiralty figures Of submarine losses and Allied
and neutral shipbuilding since the war began leave a clear
100000 ton deficit staring the Allies significantly in
the face.
The British authorities make no attempt to soften the facts for
the British public:
The figures to-day will not stimulate the enemy. and the
Admiralty recognize that the policy OF silence, necessary a.
they believe It to have been from a naval point of view, has
had this serious defect-that II fails sufficiently to impress
upon the people OF this country the vital necessity OF indl-
vdual and united effort to make good tho losses caused by
enemy submarines
Great Britain, the Admiralty warns, must rely in the main on its
own shipyards and its own labor.
There is reason to believe that British labor needs the SPUR, with
the reminder that high wages will mean little il England slips behind
In the great race to get abreast and ahead Of the u boat losses.
Meanwhile the United States can ponder the Admiralty figures
and pile on the work in its own s~hipyards. The work there is gather
ing speed, the labor unions are learning the meaning OF cooperation.
the outlook for record achievement in the launching Of ships was never
better.
But in this direction, particularly American effort has got to
leave all records far behind.
