AIRPORT HERE
TO STAY Open
FOR PRESENT
Manager Reveals
Plans for Field

"The Washington airport will
remain open as long as the
planes continue to stop here, or
until the corporation accepts an
advantageous proposition"
Samuel Solomon, general man
ager Of the airport and vice prest-
dent Of the National Airport Cor.
poration, made this statement to-
day on his return here from .
meeting Of the board Of directors
of the corporation in New York.
SURVEY PLANNED
Solomon also revealed that q
survey will be started Of land to
the south of the present airfield.
with a view to purchasing it and
.enlarging the field so runways Of
suitable length for use in any
weather may be constructed.
Commenting on reports that the
airport would be closed, he said:
1--WE have definite indications
from Eastern Air Lines and from
Pennsylvania Air Lines that
they wish to continue to use the
airport.
CITES RESTRICTIONS
The restrictions put on US
are that all transports must use
the long runway and may not
land if they receive signal that
there Is a cross wind of over 10
miles an hour velocity. In that
case they must go to Boiling
Field.
But Boiling Field presents
more dangers than does our air.
port. There is always the dan
ger Of collision with Army planes
landing and taking off.
Then, too, there is no system
Of transportation for passengers
and mail from Boiling, entailing
a delay. There is no admins
tration building and limited
communication facilities.
DUTY TO PUBLIC"
1--WE feel it is our duty to keep
the Washington airport open.
OF course there would be no
point in our turning down an
advantageous offer for the prop
erty.
But even If the property
should be sold under our con-
tracts we must keep the airport
in operation until July IS next."

UNDERPASSES'
URGED TO AID.
TRAFFIC HERE
20 Millions Asked
For Street Work

Construction Of several traffic
"subways" in the more congested
areas of Washington, with a view
to future expansion Of the under
ground traffic system today was
being considered.
Recommendations included in a
five-year traffic plan submitted
to Col. Dan I. Sultan, Engineer
Commissioner, by Capt. H. C..
Whitehurst, highway director,
asked for nearly $4,000, 900 to
carry out the program.
WORK AT CIRCLES
Under plans proposed by Cap
tain Whitehurst, "subways" would
be constructed at Dupont Circle
at a cost of $4,000 and at
Thomas Circle at a cost Of $345, 900.
The plan also includes rearTange-
ment Of the surface traffic lanes
at these two points. Surface i'm
provements at Scott Circle involv-
ing construction Of directional
islands, enlargement of entering
roadways and other improvements
also were recommended.
Declaring that the city must look
to the future growth Of traffic
when subways will not only be de-
sirable, but essential, Captain
Whitehurst explained the design
Of the underpasses would be such
that at any future time they could
be incorporated into a subway
system.
Asking a total of $19,845 900,
Captain Whitehurst divided this
figure in groups which would seek
4,721 900 for 1899 and 1871 900
for each of the next four fiscal
years.
OTHER WORK URGED
Other improvements in the plan,
which will be studied by the Of
fices of the National Capital Park
and Planning Commission, the
American Automobile Association,
the Keystone Automobile Club and
the Washington Board of Trade,
would seek vast improvements of
traffic facilities throughout the
city by the construction OF nu-
mreouS roads and bridges designed
to tighten the traffic on some of
the more congested streets of the
city.

An earnest young japanese, repre-
senting himself as student at Har-
ward, has upset the smoothly run
ming Chinese Embassy by calling
there personally to solicit its views
on the cause of the sarg;;inary un-
declared war in the Far East.
Embassy attaches are more than
eager to explain the Chinese Gov
ernments position at any given op-
portunity. But japanese visitors have
been noticeably lacking at the En-
bassy in recent months.
There appeared valid reason, there

doorman was taken aback.
Telephones began jingling in the

ferred excitedly.

Construction work is scheduled to
start this week on the new annex 10

The annex is the gift Of an anony-
nous friend who presented the Chest

Herbert L. Willett, jr., director of

not a cent of contributed money will

GENEVA. September 25.-The Jap
anese government today declined in
polite but firm language an invita-
ton to participate in the work of the
League of Nations Advisory Com
mittee revived to deal with the Chi
nese-Japanese conflict.
The refusal was transmitted d..
rectly to the League in a telegram
signed by Foreign Minister Koki

Japan Cited by Chinese.
In meeting of the Leagues Dis
armament Commission Japan was
cited by Chinese delegate as an ex-
ample of the "murderous" conse-
quences of militaristic policy. Tsien
Tai, the Chinese representative, told
the commission:
"A tremendous offensive with land,
sea and air forces has begun against
China with all the terrible forces of
modern means of destruction, which
are becoming more murderous every
day.

TO what extent intensive armaments

the japanese said. please tell me
the reasons for all this horror"
Ing still wasn't wholly convinced.
But, he reasoned. the young man did
appear to be intellectually perturbed.
1--WE Resent Being Killed"
well, I'll tell you" Ing said. "its
simply that lot of your country's
soldiers are killing a lot of our peo-
pie. And naturally our people resent
being killed. and are refusing to be
killed to the limit of their ability"
But why?" pursued the japanese.
The Chinese counselor cited an in
stance in which two japanese avia-
tors, forced down in China by Chi
nese airplanes, had been volubly puz-
zled over the fact that they were
treated civilly, instead of being killed
Immediately. To which Ing quoted
their captors as responding:
I'VE don't want to kill you. Why
do you come here and try to kill us?'"
Because the captured aviators
were reported to have answered. we
were ordered to do it. We were told
that you were killing japanese people
here and that We had to come here to
protect them against you"
1--WE Want Peace"
THAT is the reason for all this con-
f1ict,' Ing told his visitor. The Chi
nese people do not want to fight They
have always been willing to settle all
matters peaceably with Japan. There
is nothing Japan wants that she can
not get from us within reason If she
were willing to sit down and negoti-
ate peacefully"
But what can I do to help stop
this ware" the visitor asked.
You can write home and tell yolr
people just what I've told you," Ing
advised.
Thereupon, the young japanese
thanked Ing profusely and departed.
The counselor, in relating the story
yesterday. said his caller gave the
name of Fulimoto and identified HIM
self as an American-born japanese
now studying at Harvard. A jap
anese gentleman" Ing described him.
But when he finished telling the
story, far-away look came into Ing's
eyes. His usually genial face suggested
that he might still be wondering
whether the youth really came for
the reasons he stated.

GERMAN SCIENTIST
TO VISIT AMERICA
DR.. Koppers, Designer Of
Coke Ovens, Part Owner
of Pittsburgh Firm.
BY the Associated Press.

Dc tit hsSpSidAcu t-ltSo-
PITTSBURGH. September 25.-Dr.
Heinrich Koppers one time German
farm boy, is coming back to Pitts
burgh, center of the far-flung Koppers
Co. interests, which bears his name
More than 80 years ago DR.. Kop-
pers revolutionized the making of
coke by constructing by-product
coke oven which permitted the tenn
perature in the flues to be more
closely regulated than in the old
fashioned beehive ovens which dotted
the hills of Western Pennsylvania and
fed the furnaces of the steel mills.
The famous German scientist and
industrialist will arrive in New York
on the Europa Monday to visit his
former associates in the establishment
of a new coal by-product industry.
Son of farmer in the lower Rhine
Valley, Koppers studied metallurgy
and started experiments in 1894 in
the virtually uncharted field of coke
tOellliUiOSy.
He designed his improved coke oven
in 1898, and at % was building a bat
terry of them in Europe when a group
of American engineers asked him to
come to America.
He moved his headquarters from
Essen, Germany. to Chicago and built
nine coke plants. A license agree
ment was formed between him and
the United Steel Corp. which con-
trolled As per cent of the total iron
output of the country, and a plant
Of 280 ovens was built at Joliet. III
The Koppers Co. was organized
and moved to Pittsburgh in 1914. and
its founder decided to return to his
homeland, disposing of his business
and patents for 20 per cent inter-
est in the new concern.
Dr. Koppers has since been busy
with his German firm, which EMPLOYS
1000 men. At 64 his interest in coke
is now centered on production of mo-
tor fuel through the derivation of
gaseous mixture from brown coal
briquettes and coke.
