Poet Says He Gave No In
terview to Clare Sheri-
dan, Did Not Make Re-
marks Ascribed to Him
Denial Teleggraphed
To sLondon Tines
Represented as Charging
America Cot Gold, but
Britain Saved Its Soul

LONDON, Sept. 12.-Rudyard Kip
ling has sent the following message to
The Times" in response to query
from that paper regarding his utter
ances as quoted by Glare Sheridan in
"The New York World:
II did not give the Clare Sheridan
interview and did not say the things
have seen ascribed to me-"
According to Mrs. Glare Sheridans
report of an interview with Kipling he
charged that America went into the
war two years seven months and four
days too late, forced premature peace
and then quit the whole affair i'm
mediately after the armistice. The
British author was quoted as saying:
"They have got the gold of the world
but we have saved our souls" and also
that "the real America died in 1867
Alien Flow Drugged Nation
Before 1860 America was a nation,
Mr.. Kipling was quoted as saying
"But then Abraham Lincoln fought the
war to determine whether the negro
should be worked and 100000 lives
pick of Europe. They were the people
whose ancestors had braved the long
journey in sailing ships; they repre-.
sented the courageous and the strong
After the war steamships were in
vented and instead Of 80 immigrants
800 came in every ship and America
was flooded with aliens of the WRONG
type.
"Do you think any one of US who
have fought the war-who have lost
children in the war-would change
with one of them, for all their happi-
ness and prosperity"
These utterances credited to the
English writer were severely com
mented on by Secretary of War Weeks
who declared that the armistice with
Germany was entered into over the
protests of responsible military and
civilian representatives Of America in
France
Refuted by War Records
Secretary Weeks, raising the ques-
tion whether Kiplipg had been quoted
G rrectly, said that KipBng's supposed
statements were conclusively refuteG
by all records of the events of the wal
afterwards. He pointed out that all
evidence indicates that British and
French leaders were responsible for the
armistice and that the United States
did not, nor did it have any desire to
profit by the war,
"The history of Americas participa-
tion in the war was honorable in every
respect-that, cannot be denied" con-
cluded Mr.. Weeks.

PLAN TO FILL IN BAY
TO EXTEND new YORK
Would Add Six Square Miles to
Lower Manhattan
leland

Plans for the extension of Man
haitian Island. New York. by filling
in a part of the upper bay, thereby
adding at least 5000, 100000 to the
resources of the city Of New York,
are under consideration.
The plan contemplates the addi-
tion of six square miles to the area
of lower Manhattan by reclaiming
land now below water in the harbor
south of the Battery. According to
T. Kenneth Thomson, engineer for
the corporation promoting the prof.
ect. the plan would be carried out
by using cofferdams and doing the
work in sections.
1t is pointed out that the proposed
reclamation would halt the north
ward pull which is taking the city
uptown, and would prevent further
depreciation of values In downtown
Manhattan. Other points made were
that the plan would add twelve miles
of piers. would automatically deepen
the Hudson and East rivers. would
boom real estate in Brooklyn, Staten
Island and New Jersey. and would
help solve the transit situation.

and an efficient plan adopted and car
ried out.
Factors in Strength.
1.-The commercial strength of any
city is measured by its density of
population. its financial position and
its distributing facilities, and these
three combined. when rightly employ
ed, make for its Industrial growth.
The population of our city has now
reached beyond the four hundred
thousand mark, number certainly
large enough for a foundation upon
which to build an industrial growth.
The resources of our banks are suf-
ficient for any reasonable demands to
be made upon them, and our trans
portation facilities, both by water and
railroad. can be made second to none
in the country. Situated at the gate
way between the north and south,
Washington enjoys a location which
of itself should open possibilities of
development denied to many other
cities.
After all is said and done. the COM
mittee is strongly of the opinion that
there is nothing in local conditions
that should disturb the serenity of
the people. We should proceed in our
customary, cautious. prudent and con-
servative way, and l am reasonably
sure the future will demonstrate the
wisdom of our course"

different conditions which abound
here in comparison with other and

A careful review of business con-
ditions in Washington has been made
by Isaac Cans, who. as chairman of
the committee on retail trade of the
Washington Chamber of Commerce,
found local business conditions on
sound. safe and healthy basis"
Making his report recently. he states:
Business in Washington for 1921
up to the present time compares
favorably with the phenomenal and
abnormal business done in 1920. That
fact in itself should be of most re-
assuring character and should con-
vince the most skeptical that there is
no occasion for alarm on the part of
the business men of the nations
