The Botanic Garden Question.

To the Ed1tor or The star:
Referring to your excellent editorial
in last nights Star relative to the Bo-
tanic Garden. it seems to me that the
tanic." No one will dispute that the
present Botanic Garden is very largely
patronized and enjoyed, but would not
the same patronage remain If it was
frankly an ornamental garden? What
percentage of the present patronage is
due to the "botanicar' part of it?
There is no possible objection to gar
but it must be acknowledged that for
botanic garden a great diversity for
environment is absolutely essential to
success. Environment ranging from fiat
semi-submerged marsh land to high.
steep hillsides; soil from the black peat
Of the bog through the sands of the
river shore to almost pure clay on the
hills.
There is probably no other tract of
land within the District of Columbia
presenting such great diversity in ex-
posures, soils and general environment
as that found in the Mount Hamilton
tract.
II memory serves me right, there was
considerable objection to locating the
it's inaccessibility-''no one would go
there"
1t is reasonably certain that any one
interested in botanical subjects would
not for a moment be deferred by the
''ina accessibility" of the Botanic Garden
il located on the Mount Hamilton tract.
and 1t seems reasonably certain that
way there ii it's natural beauties were
developed as they would be by the es-
tablishment of a model botanic garden.

81, 100000 FIRE IN NEW YORK
Flames Damage Liner Leviathan-
Army Piers 5 and Destroyed
Bodies of Yanks Saved.

New York, Aug. Shifting Of the
wind saved the entire Hoboken water
front on Wednesday from what might
have been the most serious conflagra-
ton in it's history. AS it was, damage
estimated at $1,O00,0OO was caused by
fire which broke out on army pier No.
5 and rapidly spread in all directions,
at one time setting the forward por-
ton of the giant q. S. S. Leviathan,
the largest ship afloat, in flames. Adj
joining on pier No. A were 5000 flag
draped caskets of American soldier
dead awaiting transfer to relatives or
nearest of kin. For a time it looked
as if this pier too would be consumed
but slackening Of the wind blew
the flames northward toward the
Leviathan and pier No. 6.
AT the height of the danger ambu-
lances rushed the collins to a safety
zone, surrounded by American soldiers
from the Thirteenth infantry barracks.
No one was injured during the two
and one-half hours of fire fighting.
Army stores on piers 5 and 6 are
total loss, although soldiers worked
frantically to save them. The old Of
flee of the Hamburg-AmericaE line
was also destroyed.

All the Advantages, Privileges and

Berlin, Aug. 27.- The treaty Of

o'clock Thursday evening.
The signing occurred in the Office Of
Foreign Minister Rosen in the Will

The function occupied about ten
minutes. Ellis Loring Dresel, the
American commissioner, who was
seated opposite the foreign minister
at the latter's desk, signed both copies
of the treaty first and then pushed
the document across the desk to Herr
Rosen. who affixed his own signature.
The German foreign minister, in
signing, expressed qualification at this
act for the resumption of friendly
Dresel replying with reciprocal senti-I
ments
The document now awaits ratifca-l
ton by the German reichstag and,
the United States senate. i
The treaty consists of three arti-
cles, the preamble citing sections 2
and Of the Porter-Knox peace reso-
luton. Article / says:
Germany has undertaken to accord
to the United States, and the United
States shall have and enjoy all the
rights, privileges, indemnities, repara-
tons or advantages specified in the
aforesaid joint resolution of the con-
gress of the United States of July 2,
1921, including all the rights and adj
vantages stipulated for the benefit Of
the United States in the treaty Of
Versailles. which the United States
shall fully enjoy notwithstanding the
fact that such treaty has not been
ratified by the United States"
The signing in Vienna of the peace
treaty between Austria and the Uni
ted States was said to be mere CO.
incidence with the date on which the
German peace treaty was to have been
signed, as it was declared that neither
German nor American officials here
had been Informed OF the signing Of

been eagerly awaiting the time Of the
ZR-2's flight for America and had ex-
pected soon to follow on board gov

As the dirigible was still British
property, not having yet been turned
over to the American authorities, all
investigations of the calamity will be
supervised by the British air ministry.

RECOGNITION OF
MEXICO is NEXT
Resumption of Relations Is Ex-
peCted Some Time
This Fall.
TREATY HAS been DRAFTED
Preliminary Negotiations Have Been
Under Way Some Time Between
the State Department and
President Obregon.

Washington, Aug. 30.-A reconcilia-
ton with Mexico will be the next step
in putting the countrys international
affairs in order, now that the German
treaty has been signed, it was learned
in official quarters here.
If present plans materialiZe the for
NAL resumption of cordial relations be-
tween the estranged governments may
be expected before the coming dis
armament conference or soon after
ward.
Preliminary negotiations have been
under way some time between the
State department and President Obre-
gon. They have been undertaken in
line with the Administrators an
nounced plan of formulating treaty
providing adequate guarantees for the
protection of American lives and prop
erty in Mexico and safeguards against
new ruptures between the two coun-
tries.
The negotiations have reached q
point where treaty has been drafted
and its contamination awaits only the
action of the Mexican government on
the provisions pertaining to the Car
rama oil DEGREES.
These DEGREES give the Mexican gov
eminent the right of arbitrary domain
in all mineral lands in the country,
thus making private property on which
minerals are located subject to confis-
cation at the whim of the government.
The DEGREES stipulate that their pro-
visions shall be retroactive. This stip-
ulation has been protested by the
American government as a menace to
American holdings in Mexico and on
the action the Obregon regime takes
in regard to the protest virtually
hinges the whole question of recogni-
ton and the restoration of friendly re-
latiOnS.
President Obregon, according to high.
officials in the State department, has
in the interest of amicable conditions
indicated his willingness to construe
the drastic mineral DEGREES literally
and even to eliminate from them the
retroactive clause which mainly occa-
stoned the American objections.
Although he has been able to COM
pose the physical disturbances in
Mexico, President Obregon has not
been successful in dealing with the po-
litical factions aligned against him.
These factions, which it is said are
also antagonistie toward the United
States, were responsible, according to
officials, for the recent refusal of the
Mexican government to modify the de-
cree In conformance with the Ameri-
can protest.
Since that time the question of
whether the decree can be made retro
active has been carried to the Mexican
supreme court. A final decision is ex-
pected any day. If the verdict is IA
vorable the government stands ready
Immediately to conclude its negotia-
lions for the re-establishment of
friendly relations.
The capacity President Obregon has
displayed in this regard and his eager
ness to be on friendly terms once more
with this country have made de-
cidedly favorable impression on the
government.
