Park Plan FaVOrable.-Own of
property along Duck creek have
lined up unanimously in favor of
the proposed improvement of that
stream.
Ten of them have demonstrated
their civic spirit by practically
agreeing to donate 1867 acres of

and driveway purposes.
This was discovered at a confer
ence held late Monday between the
property owners and the commit
tee of three representing the city
council and the park commission.
Mayor Lee J. Dougherty, a booster
for the plan and City Attorney
Frank Betty also attended the
meeting.
The project was explained in de-
tail to each property owner. They
were called in at different times.
| Without an exception, they agreed
to turn over land needed for the
| purpose, with the understanding
sewer and to go ahead with the
Improvement as soon as possible.

Change, Not Ruin

"Still, it seems to me there is no
reason for despair and no occasion
to resign ones self to ugliness, de-
cay and anarchy. Germany viii
not perish; she will merely change.
We ourselves have already changed
great deal, and are going to
change some more.
Even those who cannot see that
there was an element Of destiny in
the great change will have to ad-
nit that the pressure of circum-
stances outside of our control will
compel US in the future to turn in
ward, to become more spiritual;
that we shall have to renounce out
ward appearances, the glamour Of
ovcrabundance and the presump-
tons of power; that we have to re-
consider the substance of the things
that make life worth living. A new,
kindly, conciliatory spirit, social

Of our city and what it ought to be

Germany's future weighs heavy on
all Ct us, and we dare rot mediate
upon the destiny Of this city OF
ours, by whose life once even Amer
leans were astourded. Il modern
great cities, as Kari Schefiler says,
arc the centres Of and crystalliza-
tiors OF world traffic, Berlin is sure
to lose its Granville significance, as
we are bound to forfeit for the in
mediate future the role we used to
play in world commerce. If to this
is added the emigration Of a>large
portion Of the inhabitants, either
to foreign countries Or to agricult-
ural districts, any improvement of

the framework of a centralized ma

case Prussia will lie absorbed; in
The latter she will fab TO pieces. In

TIME on a rapidly increasing scale
and reach the most valuable ele-

taste. In peace times Berlin lntoxi-
Gated by its feverish activity, it's
brilliancy, by the rhythm Of it's surg

bare poverty be coupled to the city's
intrinsic ugliness, Berlin will be-
come unbearable. But this danger
lies straight ahead. The
East will fling its gates open and
pour forth a stream of ambitious
barbarians toward Berlin. To the
old hiatuses of its culture new
= breaches will be added, and what !
once said was the fate of Berlin
ever to grow and never to be-wilf
go into fulfilment again.
Another writer, Professor Peter
Behrens, takes up, in the "Rerliner
Tageb.att," the question of Berlin's
future from a more Immediately
practical angle, asking, in effect:
What can we do to save Berlin's
position?" He writes:

Housing Shortage

we are faced today by a nous
ing shortage which we are unable
to master. It IS utterly impossib lie
to produce overnight, after five
years recess Of all construction, all
the housing space in demand. The
task Of providing pleasant, sanitary
apartments TO- the less well-or part
Of the population Will TAX the re-
sources OF our building industry for
some time to coma. First of all,
there are the settlements with one
family houses and small kitchen
gardens in the suburbs and the
rural communities Of Greater Ber-
lin, houses adapted to make the life
OF the workingman and his family
pleasanter. The attention of the
government and the municipality is
cenJring on this problem in the
first place. 1t has been demon
strated that the construction of such
AO AoSo, 1lAl1rOllSN w VIC IaIuliy
only, with q small garden producing
at least part of its vegetable and
fruit supply, is not in the least more
expensive, provided the site is we'll
chosen, than the construction of
tenements. With the establishment
of larger number of such settle
ments the entire architectural char
acter Of our city will gain i'm
mensely in the eyes of those who
have a sense of justice and the re-
quirements of our age. 1t is a mis-
take to assume that in these days
of emergency construction and sub
stitute materials it is impossible to
attain pleas ng results in city plan
ming. The area open for settlements
is g extensive and has 50 many
pos ilities besides the architect
ural one, that its development will
fascinate even those not Immediate
ly benefited.

Looking doom Koengstrasse from Alexander Square

nonic future of Berlin in d more
optimistic light than does Karl
Scheffler. He, too, forecasts a
shrinking of the city's size and pop
ulation, chiefly through emisrat on
and the detachment Of suburban
growth. But he discovers some
sort Of compensation in the inten-
sified trade relations Berlin viii
maintain with Russia and the East
in general. Much Of Berhn's future
prosperity depends on Germary's
relations with the new STAY STA es
on her eastern border, Poland md
Czecho-Slovasda, both only few
hours distance by 1al from he
capital. So lar the outlook IS not
very promising. THE time OF easy
and rapid money-lnalsing and OF
luxurious feasts is gone for Berlin":
the terrible burden of after-war
taxation Will limit tie population
to the production and consumption
OF the most important necessities.
. On the other hand, Berlin viii still
remain, this wrlteE argues, the CEN
tre Of one of the best railroad svs-
tens and by Tar the best inland
waterway system OF Europe, and
this favorable position viii safe
guard its relative commercial M
portance within the German realm.
in spite OF the deep-outting political
and economic changes.
Contrarv to what could be expect
ed, the writer in the Cologne news
paper sees the future of Vienna in
roster light than that Of the Prus-
sian metropolis It. IS true, he SAYS,
that the greatness Of Vienna was a
reflection Of dynastic splendcr even
more literally than that of Berlin,
and it is also true that, whereas Ger
man national power, although terri
bly, mutilated, still survives the war.
the very existence Of Austria has
been wiped out. On the other hand,
Vienna represents much older and
much more autochthonous culture,
and the cultural factors that in the
past made for its greatness, above
all, its midway position between
West and East and its incompatible
attractions for foreign visitors will
, remain effective. Also, Vienna, un-
| like Berlin, was centre not of IN
dustry but of commerce, and this
commerce is bound to revive, even
though on diminished scale. The
main change for Vienna, the writer
says, will consist in the necessity Of
turning its attention westward in
stead of eastward, upstream tho
Danube instead of down. In other
words, Vienna will have to give up
whatever remains of the old Austri-
ar "Drang mach Osten" and find a
new commercial orientation toward
Germany and the West, the writer
concludes.

"A glance at history confirms
this In the same pace as the Flee
5oratc Of Brandenburg developed
into the Kingdom Of Prussia and g.
European great power, the little
residential city evolved into a Euro
pean metropolis. The inference is
justified that the development will
pursue parallel lines in the future.
The days Of Prussia are over.
Her historic mission through strug-
gle to become herself, to grow bv
force, to develop into the champion
of the German idea, was, strictly
speaking, achieved with the peace Of
Frankfort in 1871. Of course, Prus-
STA never appeared more powerful
during the empire, as the leading
federal state and bearer OF the i'm
perial ideas, but her policy ceased
with the year of 1871 to have a
creative or even a guiding influence.
In the moment when Prussia created
the empire she also had to abandon
growth by conquest; but this did not
result in her voluntary dissolution,

state unit. Instead. she continued
her existence as a great> power

The housing shortage in the Sc

Gus. These districts are the breed

tute the acutest menace Of our
moral life. We must reconsider
the entire theory of apartment con-
stIuction. A building code ought to
be enacted which would require on

one rooms. size, fitted for sleeping

CT apartment houses with such
opan-air terraces, with the costs OF
construo ton not exceeding those of
an ordinary tenement. Another
plan, suggested By Professor Mahr-
ing, provides for the so-called
bower dwelling which, in essence,
is nothing but a system Of small
one-family houses built atop OF each
other, with comfortable bowers or
perrolas attached, all within the
regulation height The adoption of
such systems, which are, of course,
immensely superior as to hygiene
and sanitation, would result in the
construction Of houses which would
also look a great deal better than
the ld-fashioned tenements. The
latter were the symbols Of sorrow
and desolation; they bore the mis-
cry of humankind as their marking.
The proposed terrace-or bower
dwellings, on the contrary, would
yield picturesque impression Of
comfort and prosperity

The future prospects Of the two
great German capitals, Berlin and
Vienna, are contrasted by an anony-
nous writer in the 'k0lnis che Zeit-
ung." He says that Berlin, which
some time in the fourteenth CEN
fury contemplated joining the Han
seattle League, as a free city re-
public, has, through it's subsequent
development, become identified with
the house of Hohenzollern, to which
it owed its growth and splendor
Whatever Berlin ever was or pos
sessed, its excellent theatres, its
musical life, its libraries, its good
municipal government, was due to
the presence and influence of the
Hohenzollern court. With the dis
appearance Of the court most OF
these advantages are bound to dis
appear, too.
