Passing OF Fifth Avenue Baptist Church Marks Start
OF Extensive Building Programme Fifth Avenue District

Sale of the Fifth Avenue Baptist
Church in Fortysixth Street last
week verifics in a measure the an
nouncement made several weeks ago
IN the Real Estate Section of the
Sunday Tribune that many old and ven
Grated landmarks in the Fifth Avenue
trade section are doomed to destruction
because Of the demand for business
space which could not be satisfied dur
ing the war. The opinion is held that
this deal will set in motion the great
reconstruction programme which has
been planned for Fifth Avenue south
of Central Park. Like a great wave it
will sweep over the district, carrying
away all obstacles to trade and
structures which have not yet been
put in tone with the modern business
appearance Of the district.
The church sale recalls shifts that
have been made in residential sections
of New York in the last half century
and the rapidity with which CONNER
clalsm IS overrunning the parent
borough. Viewing things as they are
to-day it is hardly imaginable that the
congregation of the Fifth Avenue Bap-
tist Church before coming to Forty
sixth Street worshipped in a church
in Norfolk Street. For ten or fifteen
years previous to the start Of the Civil
War this congregation, which had q
reputation for wealth and social posi-
tion equal to that held by the present
congregation, lived in the vicinity of
Norfolk Street.
Business pressure from the south
and east forced the congregation to
move. The vestrymen took a long
jump in selecting a site on Forty sixth
Street. 1t was country then and
church in the field was looked upon as
pleasing deviation. The Forty sixth
Street ediice was completed in 1861.
More than ten years ago DR.. Aked
the pastor, demanded that action be
taken in securing a new location for

number Of windows in his house.
Usually so many openings have an un-
pleasant architectural effect, but not
so in the Burns house, as may be seen
by the photographs.
The architect met the wants of the
owner, giving the family all the Win
dows desired, yet a home that is at
tractive beyond measure, seated upon
q hill swept by the breezes from every
point of the compass.
"When we decided to build" Mr.
Burns said last week, eve selected Kew

reasons. Its elevation is among the

Search for Missing
(By Associated Press)

PARIS. March Con the casualty
lists of the French army, the word
missing" is written opposite the
names Of $4,000 men. Investigations
which have been conducted have re
suited in establishing the fact that O.
this number all hope for approximate
ly 100000 must be abandoned.
In tNese times of intensive warfare
it is of course possible for man to
be literally blown to atoms," but a
minute examination of no mans land
it is hoped, may still yield indications
by which it is possible to trace the fate
of at least some of the missing men.
An army of 10000 searchers will
subject all the trenches and dug-outs
along the whole battle line to a most
careful scrutiny for any evidence that
may lead to Identification. That this
is no light task is evident. Nearly
1900 square miles of ground must
be explored. In all cases approaching
definite Identification, a proper burial
certificate will be issued to the fami-
lies of the fallen.
There is talk of cemeteries being
laid out on the battlef1elds to be
plains of silence" Others prefer
that the fields should be planted with
trees to grow into mighty forests, as
an everlasting monument to the dead
of the great war.

After the flames had been almost
subdued about $50, thorough search
was made for Lehman. He had been
searched for earlier, but because it
was impossible to enter some Of the
second floor rooms, had not been found.
His body was lying on his cot in a
peaceful attitude with the hands cross
ed over the chest. He had evidently
died Of suffocation before the fire
reached him. A small room next to
the second story toilet room, at the
southwest corner, was the scene of
his death.
Patients in the burning building re-
mained quiet and were easily handled
by the attendants, headed by Dr. S. e.
Smith, head of the institution. The
hospital force went about the rescue
in a quiet, efficient and unexcited man.

building were removed to wards X, M,
c and D.
DR.. Smith, who was in his office
when the alarm was sounded, was
praised highly for the manner in which
he directed fighting the fire and rescue
of the patients.
Last nights fire was the second in
the institutions history, barn burn
ing about five years ago. Sixteen
rooms and a hallway were contained
in the burned building. 1t was of
brick, covered with slate roof.
