The Memorial bridge is a feature OF
the plan for making Washington the
greatest capital. Such q bridge was
proposed about forty years ago, and
soon after it was proposed the idea
was widely approved. Since 1900 the
Memorial bridge has had prominence
in discussion looking to improvement
Of the Capital and has been Endorsed
by national organizations, congress-
men and other public men without
number.
At the national encampment Of the
Grand Army of the Republic in Wash
ington in 1902 the building Of a me.
mortal bridge seemed so near that a
stone to be used as the corner stone
of the bridge was presented and &C.
cepted with becoming ceremony. That
big block lay for years on the vacant
lot at the corner of Pennsylvania
avenue and Madison place and was
there until the building Of the Treas
ury annex was begun. That corner
stone ceremony took place about
twenty-five years ago. Potomac Park,
then mud and ooze: has been made
a pleasure ground, the Lincoln Me-
mortal has been built, other bridges
have been built, but the Memorial
bridge has progressed no further
than a splendid design on paper. The
time is at hand when work on this
bridge should begin.
Evening star., 1924-02-07
The Memorial Bridge.

If construction Of the Memorial
bridge were to be begun now ten
years would pass before the bridge, its
terraces and approaches would be fin
ished, if the design of the bridge com.
mission were carried out. The exec
utive officer Of the bridge commission
told the Lee Highway Commission at
it's fourth annual convention that the
bridge commission will decide in q
few days what recommendations to
make to Congress, and that "the Me.
mortal bridge will be started very
shortly or laid aside to sleep for fifty
years more"
1t is believed that the building of
the bridge will be begun soon, but if
the work should not be begun this
year it is inconceivable that the prof.
ect would be set aside for fifty years,
or even five years. But the man who
made that statement perhaps knows
more about the matter than anybody
else, and the thing to be done is to
press for beginning work on the
bridge as soon as possible.
A bridge is needed from Potomac
Park, near the Lincoln Memorial, to
cross Columbia Island and reach the
low lands Of the Arlington reserva,
ton, where good roads will lead to
the heights Of Arlington and connect
With highways TO the south and west,

courtesy. The fact that this blun6er
was later corrected by a belaced half.
stating Of the flag only emphasized
the initial error Of judgment.
There is no ground for protest to
Berlin on the part Of the government
of the United States, for no actual
breach Of official propriety has been
committed. But protest has. nev-
ertheless, gone forth in the news dis
patches and, it would seem, has been
noted at the German capital. with
the result, it is limited, Of the possible
early recall Of the incumbent at the
German embassy on the score Of a
diplomatic error of judgment.
1t is the function of a diplomatic
representative to observe the niccties
of official social intercourse and to
manifest no temperamental punctilio
that might in anywise initiate
against good feeling. Unquestionably
if a former President had passed from
life who had in nowise been con-
neCleU Will ii COlllllCI DeLWGeu the
host and the represented nations the
occasion would have been marked by
immediate show of sympathy. In this
case the failure to make the ordinary
sign of coincidence betrayed a feeling
Of resentment which cannot be toll
Grated on the part of a fully accredited
ambassador or minister representing
definitely recognized government.
The incident of the flag on the oc-
casion Of Mr.. Wilson's death may be
by Berlin construed as a personal
Llunder at the embassy, in which
case the head of the establishment,
who is responsible for all that hap
pens there. is accountable. If there
is no token Of such Il feeling at the
German capital the discourtesy will
by the people of this country be
ascribed to the government itself.

Diplomatic Discourtesy.

A storm Of indignation has been
aroused by the tactlessness exhibited
at the German embassy in this city
i'll the matter of the official token of
respect for the late former President
Woodrow Wilson. In the strictest
sense there was no imperative occa-
sion for any display of mourning,
inasmuch as Mr.. Wilson died in
private life. But he had been Presi-
dent of the United States and the
American people were in mourning
for him in that capacity. Every other
foreign establishment In Washington
Immediately recognized the fact by
that placing Of the flag that, indicates
a token OF respect. The absence Of
such a mark Of coincidence at the
Germany embassy was. of course. at
tcnce noted and was resented. The
explanation nat Mr.. Wilson was
merely . prtyata citizen did no more
