KL|NGLEPARK AREA
IS BOUGHT TO HELP
SAVE ROCK CREEK
Vital Watershed Tract Pur.
chased From Harry Ward
man at Low Price.

Klingle Valley Park, the purchase
gress for years, is about to become a
reality. A large tract of what will
form ultimately the entire parkway
was purchased yesterday by the Ma
tional Capital Park Commission,
Lieut.. Col Clarence O. Sheriff., di-
rector of public buildings and public
parks of the National Capital and
executive officer of the commission,
announced.
The tract purchased Immediately
borders klingle Ford road and ex-
tends from Connecticut avenue to the
junction of the road with Cathedral
avenue. 1t was purchased from
Harry Wardman, and part of the
area already had been cleared away
preparatory to building right down
to the parkway
Announcement of Purchase.
The announcement of the purchase
came in the following statement from
Col. Sheriff.:
THE National Capital Park Com
mission authorizes the statement that
a considerable area of land imme-
diately adjoining Connecticut avenue
in klingle Valley has been purchased
from Harry Wardman at reason
able price.
Mr.. Wardman, in foregoing his de-
velopment Of this area, which was un-
der way. and being willing to sell this
property to the United States at rea-
sonable figures, has shown COM
mendable spirit of cooperation with
the National Capital Park Commits
sion"
Price Very Reasonable.
Although the exact price paid for
the tract was not made public, it was
indicated that it was very reasonable.
The purchase of this tract of land
does not complete the project as pro-
posed There is still a large area
north of and adjoining the road which
Is to be purchased, and it is under
stood that negotiations are under way
for this tract.
With the purchase of this tract of
land it will complete the park way
from Rock Creek Park proper, along
Klingle Ford road, which runs under
the bridge of that name, which car
ries the traffic along Connecticut
avenue over it.
VIII Preserve Watershed.
One of the prime reasons behind
Inc origin OF lne movement TO pOr-
chase this tract, it was pointed out
by those familiar with 1t, was to pre-
serve the watershed of Rock Creek
proper With the advance of build
ing, with the constant stoppage of
small streams, which under ordinary
conditions would feed the creek, the
flow of water would be stopped and
the waterway left nearly dry. There
fore, in order to preserve the park
with all its beauties, including the
water, 1t was desirous that this tract,
among others, be purchased.
The fight to obtain this tract of
land has been waged for years before
committees of Congress by local civic
bodies and Government officials. and
efforts were made annually to con-
vince Congress that ii should pass
the special bill which carried it, in
order to preserve i. from the en-
croachment of rapid building expan-
sion. This was one of three tracts
which were carried in one bill which
never succeeded of passage. The
other two projects were the Piney
Branch parkway, running along the
old Piney Branch, now piped, between

Dreaded By Wilson.

He SAID that in 1928 President
Wilson accepted an invitation TO wit
ness Navy target practice in Chesa-
peake Bay. Later, he said, President
Wilson wrote the Secretary of the
Navy that he would fulfill the engage
ment, but he added that he was
looking forward to it with the great
est possible dread"
Therefore, said Admiral Fiske, the
request for the Presidents presence
was Withdrawn and he never went to
the target practice.
Some time after that" continued
Admiral Fiske, Il spoke of this in
cident to ex-President Roosevelt.
That explains many things said

WAR PERIL GROWS,

Rear Admiral Says Country
Must Maintain State of
Preparedness.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 2l-There will
be increasing probability of
foreign war" during the next 20 years
and therefore the United States must
always maintain a state of rea soma BILE
preparedness for war" Rear -.dmiral
Bradley A Fiske, retired. declared
tonight, in an address before the
Politics Club OF Columbia University.
He explained that. in his opinion,
the increasing foreign trade of the
next 20 years means increasing liza
biiity of conflict with competing
nations, because OF the enormous
amounts OF money involved" For the
same reason, he said. he considered
it probable that wars on the ocean
will be much more frequent and tre-
menhdous in the future than they have
been in the past"
He discussed the trade compe tition
of the United States with both Great
Britain and Japan in the Far East, as
a situation containing fruitful seeds
Of conflict"
THE utmost we can do he de-
Clared. is to conduct out national af-
fairs in such way as to avoid armed
conflict so long as armed conflict is
aVoidable, and yet in such way that
il a conflict comes we shall enter it
on at least equal terms with our ad-
versaries."

Reasonable Prepsredne>x.

He said the United States has
never yet been able TO maintain q
state of reasonable preparedness for
war, because the doctrines of pacfists
have had an undue hold Of the peo-
pie. especially of the women
The latest example of this. he said,
was during the first two years Of
the World War. during which the
United States was wheedlei and
bullied into certain undignified posi-
tions by certain maneuvers that cul-
minated in the sinking of the Lusi-
tania and the torpedoing of our mer-
chant ships. although the United
States was a neutral nation. Had
Theodore Roosevelt been President
instead of Woodrow Wilson, it is in
conceivable that this could have oc-
Cured"
Admiral Fiske told, for the first

opinion explained the basic cGuse of

A little girl on the way TO see
her favorite movie was roughly
handled by a man last night on
Fifteenth street between Columbia

today believe that he might be the
man who attacked two girls in that

the fiend.
According to the police, the de-
scriptfon given of the man who
grabbed the little girl last night
and those of the man who Thurs
day attacked the two women do not
tally. The discrepancy may be ex-
planned. however, by the fright of
the child.
