SUBWAY PLAN STUDIED.
Officials Take Triangle Proposal
Under Consideration.

The Public Utilities Commission and
the District Commissioners today
took under consideration the recon-
mendations of the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission that
a subway be made under B street to
serve the needs of east and west traffic
which will be developed as result of
the activities of the building in the
Mall triangle. No comment was forth
coming as to their ideas on the sub
ject.
Subway proposals in the past, it
was pointed out, merely resulted in
the answer by District officials that
Washington would not be in position
to support such a project until it's
population had reached one million.

LONDON. June 20.--The opinion

Nevertheless, he added that his one
ambition was to serve the Chinese
people and make any sacrifice to help
them. he wished to visit England and
Europe and thereafter settle down as
an ordinary citizen or statesman and
assist in the reconstruction of China.
Discussing the present state of the
country, he said:
What do we see? Nothing but
maladministration, treachery, bribery

When trouble, in the form of snow
And winds that blow both high and low
Appears in view, the willy bear
Picks out a snug and cozy lair
And there serenely sleeps away;
Till gales and snow have fled away. sat
He turns in with the frost s first rime
And never wakes till breakfast time,
When heaped up snow drifts melt away
Along in April or in May.
If you and l could do the same
Whenever care and worry came,
If we could sleep through every storm
Beyond it's reach, and snug and warm
Avoiding grief, and woe and strife
How much more joy we'd get from life!
Yet also we should miss the fun
OF fighting troubles one by one,
And proudly throwing out our chest
When he had knocked them galley west!
And So although we are not bears
Our luck is quite as good as theirs,
SO let's not worry anyway
That we are we ,and they are they!
