plication for Structure at 18th
and z Streets.

The zoning Commission, at its next
public hearing, will consider the appli-
cation for authority to build the pro-
posed addition to the Harrington Hotel.
on the southeast corner of 18th and Z
streets, to height Of 100 feet.
At the present time the highest limit
fixed in the coming regulations is ITO
feet. 1t was explained, however. that
the present Harrington at 18th and E
streets and the Raleigh at 18th and
Pennsylvania avenue are both 100 feet

sion on the proposal to prohibit the
erection Of apartment houses in f1ve
large suburban areas Of the city.
1t was decided to postpone action to
make sure that all Of the affected
property owners are aware Of the pro-

all persons concerned with the plan,
Maj. Wheeler. assistant. engineer COM

The box elder or ash-leaved maple
differs from most of the naples in
having a compound leaf. We are ac-
customed to find simple leaves on the
naples. and were it not for the fruits
called maple keys or samaras we
could well be doubtful in identifying
1t as a maple. However, We can be
as sure in identifying a tree with
samaras as a maple as in calling a
tree with acorns an oak.
The box elder is a tree of wide dis
tribution, ranging from Vermont to
Florida west to Montana and Texas.
1t is a tree of medium size, reaching
a height of fifty to seventy feet, with
a trunk diameter of two feet, and
with an irregular spreading top. The

Pershing on Jaunt to France;
Plans to Keep Trip Secret Fail
accompanied by Sister, General viii Re
Uisit Scenes of Battles---PoliticaI Signif-
icance Denied by Var Department.

John J. Pershing. who a little over
six years ago secretly left Washing
ton for France, again has slipped
quietly away from the Capital for a
sojourn on French soil. His passage
over the Atlantic has been engaged
aboard the liner Leviathan, sailing
today from New York, and it will be
three months before he returns again
from the land where his leadership
helped to write history during the
great war.
Neither the generals name nor that
OF his sister, Mrs. d. NJ Butler of Ne
braska, who accompanies him, ap-
pears on the Leviathans list of pas
sengers; but only in respect to the
lack of publicity surrounding his de-
parture does his going today resemble
that of 1917. This time he is bound
for a holiday. 1t will be, SO far as
the brother and sister are able to con-
troll events in France. just a sight
seeing tour of their own, with the
public not invited.
The plan for the trip was laid
months ago. All the agencies Of the
government have been invoked that
might aid in helping to prevent pub
licity or to induce the French authori-
ties to allow Gen. Pershing and Mrs.
Butler to come and go in France as
as any other Ameri-
can brother and sister might do as
tourists there. Strict secrecy has
been maintained about the generals
office in Washington. Only a handful
of the officers closest to him knew of
the impending journey. Mrs. Butler
avoided any mention of her plans
when she bade her friends in Lincoln
goodbye. Reservations on the Ley;a-
than were made through the Shipping
Board with greatest secrecy as to who
would use the tickets. Even the
French embassy, necessarily aware of
the plan, was in the plot 20 keep ST.
lence in its dispatches until after the
LeViathan was at sea.
But it was no use. Somewhere the
plan leaked out, and the embarrassed
silence of officials at the War De-
partment when questioned about it
could not prevent knowledge getting
about that the general and his sister
were going for a. private pilgrimage
to France as means of rest and relay-
