nations growing out of the World War.
He pointed out that when the war
came to a close Great Britain found
herself with a public debt OF more than
$40 900, 900 900. or about 81 900 for each
inhabitant of the British Isles. Other
nations of Europe faced equally stag

United States was $4,000 900 coo. Ger

to her own debts, was fined" total
of $50, 900, 900 900, to be paid as repara-

Senator Barkley, "the serious question
whether Germany can pay it, and

that we in America ought

can be seen white pillared mansion, formerly
the home of Mr.. Strong's sister, Mrs. Charles
DenniSon, but now occupied by caretaker of
the estate. At the rear of the house a broad
avenue of cedars leads to balustraded court
from where rising terraces roll forward to meet
the Italian gardens of Mr.. Strong's home.
Here is commanded superb view. The muir
muir of waterfall soothes the senses. Gleam-

Spaciously proportional of concrete and

of the house distinguished features. Con-
trasting with the rich tones of the dining room
with its floor and paneled walls of solid red
wood are the white walls of the living room
that glisten in the reflected luster of sparkling
fanlights.
The driveway approach to the house is by
the road that winds through the estate and
then swings up the mountain. Travelling

series of differently designed lookout points
to be erected over the mountain
From here the road that will be a splendid
thcroughfare to the highest point of the pin
nacle is now in state of construction. Al
though it is passable for several thousand feet
farther, there is a marked contrast between its
surface and the graveled smoothness of the
finished road. Swinging through a grove of
dogwoOd where is to be built of sheer masonry
the second lookout point, the drive continues
its climb. Then it stops.
The completion of this road will be an en-
cheering feat. AS the spur is of solid rock
the route will have to wind around the pin
nacle and nose its way through the gigantic
crags. When this is accomplished, Stronghold
will, indeed, be park in the skies
In the meantime there Is way to get to
the top. Steps hewn out of the rock form a
stairway to the summit. Rain water caught in
tarpaulin covered barrels was used to mix the
concrete. Out of reach Of machinery and
modern contrivances, the construction of this
mountain stairway was a remarkable achieve

Washington, q new park has been
opened which is fast proving for
tourists.
That beauty is the greatest thing in the
world is the conviction of Gordon Strong, the
owner of this vast domain, whose altruistic
purpose is to let other people enjoy the Sugar
LOaf's charms. Although the park Is in its
comparatively early development. it presents
alluring setting Approached by State
roads from Washington, 80 miles to the south
east; from Baltimore, go miles to the north
east. and from the National Pike at Frederick.
20 miles directly north, the park is accessible
from all points.
Last Summer thousands Of visitors drove
over the fine mountain road that is Hospitality
open to the public from June until October.
When the driveway is completed to the sum-
init, Stronghold will be one of the greatest
scenic attractions of the East.
Unconnected with any mountain range the
group of peaks, vast rocky upthrust, is de-
scribed by scientists as remarkable geological
formation.
Built from base to summit of white sand
stone that glistens through the trees with
crystalline brightness, the loftiest pinnacle is
called dstinctivey the Sugar Loaf. Immense
walls of rock bristling with crags and gigantic
buttresses form curved front like the torn
flank of fortress. On the top colossal
boulders, detached from the main mass, project
frightfully over the abyss beneath.
Contrasting with the graduated whiteness of
the Sugar Loaf spur is the red sandstone OF
the adjoining peak, named the Round Top, end
the brown sandstone of the northeasterly pin
nacle known as Mount Airy Along the west
straight hogbaCk called Green Ridge Ver-
dant billow that ends toward the north in
three single knobs. On the southwest side of
the group are valuable beds Of delcately- tinted
sandstones and siliceous conglOmerates that
offer building stones as lovely as Italian marble.
In spite Of the solid masonry Of the noun
tain the surface is covered with trees. Clio
rious copper beeches. magnificent cedars, pines.
hemlocks silvery naples stand guard through
the centuries.
Stanoing majestically on the side of the
mountain that overlooks the Potomac Valley,
the white walls of stately house can be seen
for miles around. This mansion, of classic
Georgian simplicity, is the Summer home Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Strong. From the house to the
lagoon at the edge Of the grounds slope the
terraces of an Italian garden, enhancing
