THE NEW BOTANIC GARDEN
BY FREDERIC J. HASKIN.

A happy-ending chapter has begun
to be written for the long history of
the United States Botanic Garden at
Washington, a feature of the Capital
City's magnificence which for a CEN
tury has been neglected. The Botanic
Garden. although originally intended
to rank Importantly, has been the step
child of Congress, yielding to any
number of other Improvements in the
matter of expensive improvement and
care.
At long last this Garden is about to
be moved and, on a new nearby site
is expected to be raised to the dignity
its patience may be considered to have
merited. This late development comes
as part Of the great program OF
public buildings improvement now
going forward at Washington. The
Garden has occupied the first open
section of public land to the west of
the Capitol Grounds proper. Inas-
much as this land is to be included in
the scope of the whole Triangle de-
velopment. flowing into the Mall, the
Botanic Garden itself is being trans
ferred to a site covering a city square
and a triangular part of another
square between First and Second
y
avenue to Canal street The Grant
Memorial, which has stood at one side
OF the Botanic Garden, and the Meade
Memorial, which has stood in the CEN
ter of it, will remain as features of
the Mall development, but the green
houses and gardens themselves will be
moved.
A new $1,O0OOOO structure, midway
in design between a temple and
greenhouse, has been provided in the
plans for the new Garden, making
up in part, for the long parsimony
which has characterized the attention
given it in the past.
1t was expected that the Capital
City would develop first in an easterly
direction from the Capitol. the central
feature of the new city. The east front
was given the closest attention in the
matter of design. 1t could not be fore
seen that the years would see the de-
velopment precisely reversed and what
might be regarded as the back door Of
the Capitol looking out over miles OF
development. However, Maj. IEnfant
had laid out comprehensive plans for
the western side.
Meager Start Made.
The Garden was located at the foot
Of the slope gliding down from the
Capitol eminenCe. Although as early
as 1892 orders were given to begin
clearing away the alder swamps which
occupied the point adjacent to the site
of the Garden, at which Pennsylvania
avenue was designed to begin its his
tOric course from Capitol to White
House, it was not until 1895 we find
first step being taken. That was only
warning to David Burnes, the Scots
farmer who owned much of the site of
the city Of Washington, that he planted
crops on the Avenue and the Mall at
his own risk. as something might be
done almost any time to make a thor
oughfare
Still nothing was done, and it is prob
able that Thomas jefferson was the
first influential person who took an IN

The Al Smith puzzle remains un-

MI Smith must tell the Democrats OF

both States. If convinced Mr.. Smith

the result looks dubious, he will not.

The fact that he hesitates and seems

Sad Words.
A man stalked forth in solemn show,
The saddest words" he said,

He slowly shook his head
The lesson that they seem to teach
Is like a merry tune
Compared to that remorseful speech,
The words, I talked too soon!
The man who finds the marriage yoke
A misfit for the pair
He wishes he had never spoke
With such deficient care;
He shows to us the sorry case
Of any man whose mind
Lets Vocal Effort set the pace
While Thought trails in behind.
The man who has to contradict
Some speech he made last year;
The man who finds he has been tricked
Into a contract queer
They Join the rhythm of regret
That marks the general tune;
That line to minor music set;
Alas! talked too soon!"

The Sinking Of the NJ.

It now appears certain that all Of the
sixty men on the British submarine
M-2 have perished and that another
major disaster of the sea has been re-
corded. The M-2 disappeared four
days ago while engaged in routine div
9ng tests in the English Channel. When
she failed to come to the surface a
searching party was promptly organized
her For a time it was believed that
she had been found, and divers were
huTriedly summoned, but their report
was discouraging 1t was merely an
old wreck on the ocean bottom that the
graphing irons had struck. The British
admiralty has now advised the rela-
tives of the men on board that they
have undoubtedly been lost.
Just what happened to cause this
tragedy may never be known. While
j the M-2 was not of the latest type, she
was considered thoroughly seaworthy
and an efficiently performing craft.
Oficers and men were equipped with
%the most modern life-saving devices
which, under normal conditions, would
enable them to escape if the boat could
not be brought to the surface. These
devices we're of the type which have
reached high point of development
in the American submarine service. AS
a matter of fact, it was soon after the
sinking of the United States submarines
S-5l and S-4 that all nations began a
determined campaign to provide some
manner Of escape from stricken craft.
In view of the fact that those on
the ma had tile means at hand to
leave the boat if 1t was merely mat
ter of her refusing to rise it would
seem evident that she was ripped
apart by collision with submerged
Wreckage and that the accident was
so sudden that no time was allowed
for escape. Even if this were the case
it is difficult to understand why at least
a few men did not get out. In the
crash between the S-51 and the steam
ship City of Rome, which sent the
submarine to the bottom like a plum
met, three men succeeded in getting out
of the wrecked craft and were the only
4 survivors Of a crew of thirty-seVen. In
the other major American tragedy, thai

cars. 1t is expected that this request
| will be granted only in part and that
rnerey a portion Of this space will be
! thus alIocated to the Commerce De-
partment workers. They will, in that
case. pay fixed rental for the space
they occupy.
This, if effected, will be merely a
temporary eXpedient, In the course
of very few years, depending upon
the length of time required for the
strengthening of the Federal Treasury
TO the point of permitting the de-
| velopment of this plaza, the ground
must be taken away from the con-
cessionaireS and turned into park.
Where then will the motor cars of the
Commerce Department employees be
placed during working hours?
The question has been pending for
some time. 1t was brought up when
the great Government building prof.
ect was adopted. 1t was not then settled.
Again it was brought forward when
the Commerce Building was approach
! ing completion and once more de-
cision was postponed The matter was
studied by an organization which
Specializes in such puzzles and recon-
mendations were made but not adopt
ed. 1t was more convenient, apparently,
to procrastnate than to decide.
In the course of perhaps two years
three units will have been added to the
building group in this section of the
Triangle, the Post Office. the Depart
| ment of Labor and the Interstate Com
merCe Commission. These will house
more people nan even the great Com
merce Building. The car-parking prob
lem will be magnified beyond ready
computation. When he central plaza is
done over into a park the cars can rot
/ be put there. Where will they so? Into
the streets? They are clready C1ngested
even beyond the safety point. Into the
park to the lOuth? There is a decided
objection to this use OF the public reser-
vation.
Private enterprise has not appeared to
be willing to provide parking accomro-
dations for the cars of the Government
workers at the rates which could be
borne by the car owners. The main
tenance Of the permissive rule regarding
street parking works against such pro-
vision If that rule is rescnded garages
may be built. perhaps within the in
terror Of squares in the downtown area
/ There must be accommodation for at
least 10000 cars daily, if the streets and
the parks are not to I've used. Perhaps
many more. Is 1t not time to start
something in this direction by Govern
ment operation or oy private invest
ment?

terest in clearing up the brush that
covered the land. In 1910 we find that
some rows Of Lombardy poplars had
been planted, but the Avenue itself Wa=
too much of a moraSS to be traversed
save on horseback.
1t was not until 1920 that Congress
definitely provided the site for the Bo-
tanic Garden. 1t was then under the
jurisdiction Of the Columbian Institute
for the Promotion Of Arts and Sciences
The site, at the foot Of the Capitol
grounds slope was reputed to have been
intended for that very purpose by both
Washington and lEnfant
Sixteen years passed without a hand
being turned to improve the Garden
site-only the land had been provided
and it part of the Tiber Creek marsh.
When, in 1886, Congress was prevailed
upon to appropriate SIS, 900 to drain the
site and erect a fountain, the prompt
ing idea probably was more TO get rid
Of the stagnant and malarial mire than
to set out on any elaborate program Of
Identification
Actually, the Garden got it's real start
less than a century ago and as the re-
suit of an outside influence. In the
years 1888 to 1912 Lieut.. Charles wilkes
of the United States Navy, at congress
SiOnal beheSt, had taken six naval YES
sells upon an exploring expedition to the
South Seas. The scientific staff in
Cluded w. D. Breckenridge, a botanist,
who brought back with him what for
those days was a comprehensive collec-
t1on OF strange specimens, including
seeds and cuttings. These were of no
use to the Navy Department, so they
found their way to the United States
Botanic Garden, up to then empty Of
anything save the wild rushes and
alders indigenous to the fen That was
the real beg nning of the Garden.
Historic Trees TO Be Moved.
Several historic trees stand in the
Garden and are to be removed to the
new site. The Crittenden oak marks
the spot where John j. Crittenden
made an unavailing address in an ef-
fort to avert the Civil War The Beck
Washington elm is a scion of an elm
earlier planted by Washington himself.
A plane tree which Thaddeus Stevens
brought from the Vale Of Cashmere, a
sycamore planted by Senator Daniel
Voorhees,, whose nickname was the
Tall Sycamore of the Wabash; a Chi
neSe oak from the grave of Confucius,
two cedars Of Lebanon and several
others all have historic associations.
The Bartholdi fountain, the work of
the same sculptor who designed the
Statue of Liberty in New York Harbor,
was removed from the central site in
the Garden, where it long stood, to
make way for the memorial to Gen.
Meade, the hero of Gettysburg. The
graceful fountain has been in storage
for several years and is to be re-erected
on the new site.
The Garden never has been allowed
but a small appropriation and, although
faithfully cared for by the small staff
IN charge, has not had opportunity to
develop on the scale one might expect.
1t now is to have its chance and it is
scarcely to be doubted that it will vie
with those of foreign nations. not only
in floral and arboreal beauty but in
scientific value.

Orders TO the Fleet.

orders were issued yesterday to the
Asiatic Fleet of the American Navy to
stand ready to protect American lives
IN China Admiral Pratt, chief OF
operations, stated that 'our fleet Will
be ready to evacuate our nationals or
to protect them if crisis arises where
mob rule prevails; our forces will go
in and take whatever steps are neces-
sary to protect our people
If such is the program, alone, there
will be no dissent by the people OF this
country. There will be universal sup
port of any such policy of protection.
That is what the American Navy is for,
in any emergency. 1t is the defensive
force, designed for the safeguarding Of
American rights, American property
and American lives.
But beyond such measures of protec-
ton and rescue from danger the Navy
should not 60, whatever the scope of the
conflict in Asia. The quarrel between
Japan and China does not involve the
United States. This country is not a
member of the League Of Nations. 1t
is not alone a guarantor of the terri
torial integrity of China, though with
eight other nations it is sponsor for it.
It holds no mandate for the preserva-
ton of peace there or in any other
quarter of the world where its terri
torial rights are not involved.
However the sense Of justice of the
United States may be shocked by
Japans aggressive policy against China,
however greatly it may be aggrieved in
its sense Of fair play and international
Righteousness, it cannot, without a
perilous departure from its wisely es-
tablished principles, intervene by force
of arms in a situation in which its
direct interests are not involved.
Neither side in this deplorable dis
putation has appealed to the United
States directly for aid or support. There
is no warrant for such appeal. The
fact that this Government is party to
a series of treaties in renunciation OF
war, to which both of the nations now
approaching a state of war are likewise
Subscribers. does not impose upon it
the obligation in any degree to inter-
Cede. save by advice and imploration.
Certain principles are held in the
highest regard by the people of the
United States, in respect to foreign re-
lations, direct and indirect One of
these is the integrity of nations. But
when that principle is violated, if in its
violation the vital interests of the
United States or the persons of its ma
tionals are not affected, it is not re-
quired to intervene; indeed it should not
intervene.
For Intervention implies war, if it
does not Immediately and directly in
volve the United States in war. For
the United States to go to war with
Japan to prevent the seizure of China,
OF to compel its release if seizure were
already effected, would be a monstrous
injustice to the American people, a
sacrifice Of American lives and Ameri-
can treasure for which there would be
no justification.

Tert: ~ Sdy-to every man that is
among you, not TO Think Of himself
more highly than he ought to think,
but to think more sober!y"-~
Romans, rti3
Sober thinking is the apostles appeal.
Over against it and as a hindrance to
if he sets self-conceit. He does ap-
peal against that reasonable kind of
self-respect or se1f-aSsurance that is
indispensable to efficient living. Emer-
son in his famous essay on Self -Reli-
ance" makes it cardinal virtue. 1t Is
not against this that the apostle in
Weighs. AS a matter of fact, there is a
kind of Self-respeCt that borders closely
on self-conCeit that constitutes real
asset in the prosecution Of any task.
On the other hand, there is a repre-
henSible and offensive kind of self
conceit that defeats the ends we seek
to serve. Possibly we of America have
largely Illustrated this in our more re-
cent years. We have disclosed kind
of conCeit in our institutions and en-
terpriseS that has rendered us immune
to caution and reasonable conServa-
tiSm. We have builded our great en-
terprises upon the assurance that, in
dependent of what the rest of the
world might experience in the way of
misfortune and disaster, America was
immune. With humility we admit we
have thought more highly Of ourselves
than We ought to think, and for 1t we
have paid in costly sacrifice 1t is
inevitably true that a too great self
dependence leads inevitably away from
God-dependence. In our Conceit we
reach a condition where we depend
wholly upon our own genius for what
we are and what we have. AS a mat
ter of fact, the whole drift of modern
living the whole world round has been
in this direction. We have suffered
from a condition bordering closely on
intoxication; instead of being rational
we have become irrational; instead OF
logical, illogical; and for these indts-
cretionS We are being penalized. 1t
reminds us Of the statement Of great
English admiral made in the height Of
the World War. Speaking to his fell
low countrymen, he said: Not until
England goes to her knees with prayer

there were no survivors, although the
sunken submarine was promptly To-
Gated, life was found aboard and frantic
efforts were made to raise her before
the suffocating gas and lack of air
ended all.
The sympathy of America goes out
to the relatives of those who were lost
on the M-2. The people of the United
States have had their own experiences
with this type of disaster and appreci-
ates what they are suffering.
