said he did not think that the reduce
ton made some time ago was nearls
as much as it should have been. Mr.

per cent within 30 days and expressed
the opinion that more can be secured

BIDS SET FOR TREE
PLANTING IN MALL
0ImSted'S Plan Calls for
Moving As Saplings to New
Agriculture Building.

Bids to be opened tomorrow at the
Treasury Department will be the first
step to improve the Mall to the west
ward and TO place trees and shrubbery
in front of the new Department OF
Agriculture Building.
Frederick Law Olmstead, landscape
architect and a member of the National
Capital Park and Planning Commission
has evolved the design for the planting
The bids will call for the transplanting
of some As trees and shrubs from the
vicinity of Twelfth and Fourteenth
streets, near Constitution avenue, to
the Department Of Agriculture Building
plot.
Charles w. Eliot. I'd, director of plan
ming for the commission, explained the
improvement of the Mall will be accom-
pliShed in three steps-G) removal OF
the trees, (2) use of the excavated earth
from the buildings in the triangle, to
raise the level of the Mall between
Twelfth and Fourteenth streets at the
north side, and CD construction OF
highways.
Two Purposes Listed.
Replanting of the trees and shrubs
Mr.. Eliot said, will accomplish two pur-
poses-improve the effect in front OF
the building and get the trees out OF
the way for the Mall drive.
The fill from the excavations for the
new Departments Of Labor, Justice and
Post once will be utilized to bring this
portion of the Mall up to the required
grade. 1t Is understood the Treasury
Department will require excavated earth
from these new structures to be placed
on the Mall.
Lieut.. Col. q. S. Grant, Sd, director
Of public buildings and. public parks. will
have 100000 available on July for the
construction of roads in the Mall.
These will be built on the completed
fill. Under plans of the commission,
four broad highways viii run the length
of the Mall.
To Move GhinkO Trees.
Some of the famous ghinko trees will
be replanted.
A screen Of existing trees along
Twelfth and Fourteenth streets viii be
left In place, Mr.. Eliot said, while the
fill is being done, in order to preserve
the appearance of the Mall in that sec
ton near the greenhouses.
officials pointed out that the ap-
proachse to the new Department of Ag-
riculture Building have not been COM
pleted and cannot be so considered until
the planting. They added that money
would be saved by using the Mall trees
in front of the building. These fine trees,
which would otherwise be killed by the
fill, officials said, should be used in the
Identification program.
Secretary Hyde has approved the
Olmsted design for the landScaping at
the new building. 1t Is said Mr.. Ohm
stead donated his services to the Gov
eminent. The plan has been worked out
with DR.. William Taylor, head of the
Bureau of Plant Industry of the Agri-
cultural Department; Louis A. Simon,
chief Of the architectural division of the
office Of the supervising architect, Treas
ury Department: Leon Zach, who is as
ISOLATED with Mr.. Olmsted, and Mr.
Eliot and Col. Grant.

CHURCH IS CLAIMED
NOT IN DEPRESSION
Coming Generation Defended
by Presbyterian as One
of Finest.

THE church is not in q period of
depression, nor is 1t in its twilight" Dr.
Hugh Thompson Keer, Pittsburgh,
Presbyterian moderator, said last night
in an address In which he defended the
youth of the present day against the
attacks Of loose morality commonly
heaped upon it.
The address was feature Of the
annual reception, rendered at Gunton
Temple Memorial Church. under the
direction Of the Presbyterian Alliance
Of Which DR.. John c. Palmsr, minister
Of the Washington Heights Presbyterian
Church, is president.
Generation Is Praised.
Despite the gloomy outlook Of their
elders, DR.. Keer said, the coming gen.
ration Is one of the finest the world
has ever known. His sermon was de-
livered to a congregation composed of
members Of all Presbyterian churches
in the city which filled the church to
capacity. 1t was followed by a social
hour.
THE person who believes in the
gloomy statements DR.. Kerr
said retiring to those who think the
church Is experiencing a decline in
power, "has no comprehension what
ever of what a Christian Church Is, nor
Of its methods of operation
Wealth Is Pointed Out.
He pointed to the vast wealth COM
manded by the Christian faiths to show
their likelihood of continuance in power
Anyone who thinks that the Christian
Church is slipping from power simply
hasn't before him these simple stats
tics" he said.
1.-THE church today, and this genera
ton, need to place more emphasis on
personal religion he asserted. There
is not SUFFICIENT distinction between the
church and the world. God works
through man. not through men, and in
every new era civilization is lifted to a
higher level through a single per-
sonality.

the British on the right forced the
enemy to evacuate the town. Continu-
ing october 10, the division captured

Haig Praises Americans.
Marshal Haig sent the following mes
sage to Gen. Read regarding the opera
tons Of the I'd Corps:
II wish TO express to you personally
and to all the officers and men serv-
ing under you my warm appreciation
OF the very. valuable and gallant serv-
ices rendered by you throughout the
recent operations with the 4th Brit
ish Army. Called upon to attack posi-
tions of great strength, held by de-
termined enemy. all ranks of the 9th
and 30th American Divisions under
your command displayed an energy,
courage and determination in attack
which proved irresistible. 1t does not

fighting Of the past three weeks you
have earned the lasting esteem and adj
miration Of your British comrades in
arms, whose success you so nobly
shared"
The main objective Of our initial
attack September 20 had now been
reached. Failing to capture it in our
FIRST attempt we had deliberately syste-
maticaily, and doggedly stuck to the
! knet 10 H., foaA ~ - lac
and discouragementS
The persistent determination and
vigorous effort with which the army
forced its way forward to the goal is
the outstanding glory Of our service
in France.
Our ranks had become still further
depleted by this severe fighting and We
now had to use as requirements the
personnel of two more recently arrived
divisions, although even this did not
I'LL our vacancies.
Needed Balloons.
We were also in need Of balloons and
and their personnel, none having ar
rived from home since July. Although
So companies had been requested for
August and September there seemed to
reasonable time. A shortage Of balloons
always existed in our forces, and, as
usual, We sponged on the French.
But at this time the French did not
have much more than half the num-
bers they needed themselves, and our
demands were creating a serious situa-
ton in their army. The loss of obser-
vation balloons was very great during
the continuous fighting of this great
battle.
Ba looms were especially good targets
| for planes. Many of our aViators be-
came expert at destroying those of the
enemy. They would wait until about
dusk, then, approaching from q great
| height, would Swoop down and often
surprise several in one flight.
Tomorrow: Military leaders meet at
Seplis to discuss terms of armistice.

EXTENSION DENIED
Town Council Rejects Plea
for Water Connections
by Tie Vote.
Special Dispatch to The star.


FALLS CHURCH, Va, September 10.
The Committee on Water, Sanitation
and Public Health of the Falls Church
Town Council, by tie vote, refused to
accede to request from citizens of the
corporation, whose property fronts on
Wilson Boulevard extended, to extend
the present water mains along Broad
street to the corporation line. Inas-
much as no one along this extension is
now a candidate for water service, the
committee decided to defer extension
until enough people want water service
to justify the committee in spending
$4,000 additional. The committee felt
that the Fire Department can reach
any house in this section in an emer-
sency with the addition of a small
amount Of hose, In addition to what the
Fire Department already carries.
The committee has decided to locate
the towns second deep well on a lot
on South street near Columbia street
owned by A. II. Barbor.
Contractors are preparing to run q
pump test on the first well, now 307
feet deep, several feet lower than the
first Fairfax we'll and the deepest well
in this section Of the State.
