The Presidents Movements.

The American Institute Of Bankers
will meet in annual convention at
Portland. Oreg- next summer, and
would be glad to have President Hard.
ing attend and deliver an address. The
invitation grew out Of the announced
probable visit of the President to
Alaska.
Mr.. Harding in reply said that as no
plans in detail had yet been made as
to the Alaska trip. he could not at this
time give positive assurance.
The Presidents movements are. and
will continue to be. dependent neces.
sarily upon conditions on Capitol Hill.
II Congress adjourns early, the Presi.
dent can. and presumably will, visit
Alaska. IF Congress sits late. he will
be obliged to remain close to base.
At present the prospects are that
Congress will sit late. Not only is
there much to be done, but there are
serious divisions about what forms
action should take.
Unexpected divisions over the trea-
ties growing out of the armament con-
ference have appeared. There is more
debate in them than at first seemed
likely.
The tariff remains a stumbling
block. and nobody will hazard a guess
as to when a bill will reach the Presi-
dent.
The railroad question is still undis-
posed Of. and now the merchant ma
rine question comes on to be heard.
The liveliest interest win be awak-
ened when supplies for the Army and
the Navy are taken up.
And who may say what additional
embarrassments lurk in the bonus
question, or as to delays they may
occasion?
The President may not see Alaska
this year, much as he desires that
pleasure, and much as the Alaskans
desire to see him.

Coldren said, "the last traces of two
Of the old forts were obliterated, And
that process will continue as the city
grows and building operations extend
out toward the District line"
The residents of the District are not
asking Congress at this time to ap-
propriate a large sum of money to
acquire any OF the fort sites or to
condemn any Of the land needed to
open the connecting driveway.
All they ask now Is an appropria-
tion Of $1,000 with which to have
made survey Of the for.s and OF the
proposed boulevard between them.

Few Washingtonians realize what a
picturesque addition to the sightsee-
ing wonders of the capital a driveway
connecting these forts would make.
Being points of defense. they are
naturally nearly all at high levels on
the outskirts of the city.
Tho numerous bits OF interesting
history connected with them would
add to their value as one Of WASH
ington's drawing cards for tourists.
At Fort Stevens. in Brightwood. for
instance, the spot where President
Lincoln exposed himself to the fire of
the southern army Is preserved and
marked.
At this and many other Of the old
forts the sightseer may still observe
clearly the outline Of the rife pits in
which the boys of '61" stood guard
over the Capital city.
In laying off the driveway around
the forts existing avenues might be
included as part OF the drive where
it could be done without interfering
too much with the desire to make the
driveway circular

Princess Mary's Wedding.

"All the world loves a lover" wrote
the poet, and although the encom-
passing sweep Of the assertion mSk
strain even poetic license, q great part
of the everyday world may be said to
be reading with friendly interest the
reports of the preparations for Tues
days wedding in historic Westminster
Abbey of Princess Mary and viscount
Lascelles. Royal and titled lovers may
not be of more moment to ruthless
Cupid than mortals Of less degree, but
they command the headlines neverthe-
less. Even the most matter-of-fact
among us, busy with the homely and
necessary routine Of the worlds work
and our own round of affairs, may be
justified in pausing to give passing
attention to an event that is regarded
as Of prime Importance in Great Brit
ain. &

SHOOTING STARS. =.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON,
Knights.

Knights.
A knight wore armor, long ago,
When forth to battle he would 20,
And seek to save himself from harm
By virtue Of his good right arm.
At such equipment now we smile
And say that 1t is out Of style.
Nobody forth to battle goes
In a wrought-iron suit Of clothes.
The warrior Of the present day
In metal still Is stored away.
He gets inside an iron ship
And sealed therein he makes the trfp
He climbs into q tank and there
Awaits attack from everywhere.
For though the knight in days gone BY
Went, man to man, his skill to try,
The knight today may seldom know
Just who 1t was that dealt blow.
And his revenge, perforce, must fall
On folks he never met at all.
War even lacks. as waged Of late,
The dignity Of human hate,
And has become. wise people say.

Planning for Land Disarmament.

A commission Of the league Of ma
tions is preparing a plan for the next
assembly on the reduction of land ar
maments. 1t is not an easy subject on
which to arrive at an agreement.
There are two main difficulties. One
Is to reach a settlement in principle.
and here France exercises an absolute
veto: the other Is technical, in that
while. everybody knows what is a
capital ship or submarine nobody
can define munitions and nobody can
define an army. Almost everything
from cotton to cannon is munitions;
every able-bodied male is potential
soldier. 1t is. therefore. very hard to
establish a ratio on land similar to
the one established on the sea.
Nevertheless. the thing Is not i'm
possible, for 1t has been done. Ger
man and Austrian land armaments are
regulated to the smallest detail. And
If it was not beyond the power of the
human mind to determine what was
the minimum of safety for Germany
and Austria. it is not beyond human
power to regulate other armaments
in some ratio to the base line fixed
for these two nations. II Germany Ia
safe with 100000 men. how large an
army does France need?
It is possible. therefore. to overcome
the technical difficulty. The real OBJ
stacle is fear and its side partner
ambition. Once the main French fear
has been met, the league can fail only
II it is too timid. The greater its au-
dacity the greater will be its achieve
ment.-New York World (democratic).

Water!

The question of Washington's water
supply, somewhat like one Of Shake
speare's celebrated ghosts, will not
down. This may be a characteristic
of all ghosts and not exclusively a
habit Of those ghosts that make night
hideous in Shakespeare. But, anyhow.
the water question will not down. It
cannot be settled until it is settled
right. and the right way is to build a
second conduit. And as the work of
building it will require several years
it ought to be begun now. The danger
involved in Washington's dependence
on a single pipe line, with reservoirs
that hold about one days supply of
water, ought to be ended. Cities that
manage their own affairs do not daily
