Greater Washington,
Remade During War,
Is Here Now to Stay
By BILL PRICE.

This retrospective Of two years with The Times
limited in its inspirations and pleasures because it brings
wildly to mind close association with the splendid people
OF Washington during war Distress and difficulties that
united the of the National Capital nothing
did before that developed unhough of qualities Of lead
ership patriotic operation generous sedenaE broad
democracy and true brotherhood
It has been two years in which Washington has adj
vanced from comparatively small city to one Of first
proportions in population and world importance to which
have been turned the eyes of all nations and all peoples
Local and National Issues -. - s
Fighting for the of the nation and of other
nations, giving freely of time and money to the call Of
democracy, Washington citizens have at the same time
wreed with unusual problems of local bearing developed
by the entrance of the Government into the world
And it may be truly said that solving these prob
lens and in dealing with the readusments that came since
the District people have demonstrated that in inte
genc industry and ability they have no superiors They
have learned lessons Of cooperation and of unity for civic
beterment and improvement and these will bring untold
benefits IN the years to come. .5sse ass
In all the good that has been accomplished The Times
has been able to play conspicuous part Unhampered by
sinister Influences neither tied Interests nor to dol
lars it has been able to print freely news and to advocate
the of the MASSES The result has been marvellous
progress in obtaining the good WILL support and confidence
of all classes who respect independence and the straghtcu
motive of doing right for rights sake

Untrammeled by fears Of arousing
the dislike Of big or little interests,
the writer's on this paper who are
charged with handling matters Of
local concern have been able to tell
the truth as it is, to present facts
called for by the general public, and
to urge justice.
There has been no need to wait to
find ont what the public has felt. If
the cause was right it., was known
that the public would comprehend
and sympathize. Waiting to see
how public sentiment would jump
has not been a policy; confidence
that, It always jumps in the direction
of q square deal has been a motto
In printing what should be printed.
Coming Into Her Own.
washington's immense progress
during the. war and since the. Rrmis-
tlce is just q forerunner. her people
feel. of her development in the fu-
tire.
There have been various estimates
of the present population and only
the official census next year win re-
veal the facts. In November 1917,
when this country had hardly gotten
into the war and before the bulk of
war workers had come here. the po-
lice took a census of the District
an accurate one, too. 1t then showed
q total population Of 395,94T.
The Civil Service Commission stated
some months ago that 10000 workers
were added to the Government pay
rolls during the war, the great ma
jority of them in 1918. The curious
fact stands out that the reduction OF
Government employees since the ar
mistice has been less than 5000. AS
fast as one Government activity
ceases or diminishes the employees
released are absorbed by other Coy
eminent bureaus which have increased
in business.
After July 1 there may be some de-
crease in the number of war work
ers, owing to. decreased appropria-
tions by Congress, but there will
likewise be need for employees in the
next census, work upon which be-
gins July /, in the Internal Revenue
Bureau and in other departments.
The War Risk Bureau is clamoring
for 1000 stenographers and typewrit-
ers unable to get them.
So a most conservative estimate of
the present population is $50 900, with
little prospect of material decrease.
The total is constantly increased by
well-to-do people frem all over the
country coming here and buying
homes, often bringing their own serv-
ants. The lure OF Washington is
widespread. Its social and political
features are more inviting than any
other city in the world.
Real estate men are the real ba-
rometers OF the future OF a city.
They are united in the confident be-
lief that there will be no backward
step here in population, business or
otherwise. They are building and
encouraging others TO build and will
tell you that they could sell thou:

FREE METHODIST PARSONAGE

In these days of confusion and I'M
rest and considering the way many
that are being swept out of this life
every day by disease, accident and
otherwise we conclude that the cry
ing need of this country is gospel
that prepares man for any and every
danger or calamity, however sudden.
We are therefore here to preach
the old fashioned doctrine of repent
ance, the new birth and holiness which
give man definite, positive know
ledge of sins forgiven and their ac-
ceptance with Gcd.
These doctrines appeal to those
who are DESTROYS of making sure of
a preparation fer the next world and
are none other than the New Testa-
ment Gospel.
At present we are holding special
services every night except Saturday
in the F. M. Church. situated on the
corner of Center and Ionia streets.

Among Stars to Represent
Giants" on Polo Grounds
WILL PLAY TH0RPE'S TEAM

New York, Sept. 30.-Pr Professional
football, with players drawn from the
ranks of former college stars. is to be
thoroughly tried out in New York this
season. The sport has flourished for
several years past in the Middle West.
particularly at Akron. Canton and
Massillon. o.. but never has been
played to any extent in this section.
Numerous former gridiron notables re-.
side in the metropolitan district and
many of these already have agreed to
join the team which is to represent New
York in the professional field.
, The eleven will be known as the New
York Giants, those behind the plan
adopting the name of the National
League baseball club here. All local
games are to be played on the Polo
Grounds, most of them on Sundays, but
Saturdays may be utilized when college
elevens'are not performing at the Har-
lem field.
An unusually large squad will pro-
vide strong teams for both Saturday
and Sunday games if the sport takes
here as it has in the Middle West.
The National Exhibition Company,
which controls the New York Giants
baseball team, will operate the football
Giants. Charley Brickley. the greatest
drop kicker in the history of the sport,
has been appointed general manager of
the football team, and he is now,ar-
ranging schedule of games. 1t is
planned TO open the season here with
a game on Sunday, October -.
Selecting an all-star eleven to oppose
Jim Thofpe's Canton team at the polo
grounds led to the idea of having a
team here throughout the football sea
son. The Canton game is now the out
standing feature of tentative schedule,
but plans are under way for games with
professional elevens at Cleveland. Chi
cago, Massillon and with the strong
clevens which are organized annually at
bridgeport, New Haven and other near
by cities.
The. complete list Of players under
contract will be announced within a
few days. Some already have agreed
TO play and others have the matter un
der consideration. Eddie Mahan, who
played with Brickley at Harvard, will
be asked to join the team as soon as he
arrives in the United States. He is
nov on his way home after several
months of war service.
