LONDON, April 1.-THE question
OF seating and direction Of persons who
have seats along the coronation route
has been answered in an ingenious
plan recently released by the commits
sloner Of police. The coronation area
will be closed to buses, coaches, trans
and cabs except for the purpose Of set
ting down passengers at special places

A key to the particular place of the

section having particular color. For
instance, the Mall, Whitehall, Parlia
ment street, the Sanctuary and Vic
toria Embankment will carry the color
Of green. Northumberland avenue,
Trafalgar Square, Pail Mall and St.
James street will be brown. Piccadilly.
Piccadilly Circus and Regent street
will be designated by blue. Oxford
Circus, Oxford street and Marble Arch
carry the color of red East Carriage
road and Hyde Park are yellow, while
Hyde Park Corner, Constitution Hill
and Queens Gardens are maroon.
The time for visitors to be in their
seats Is also allotted by different hours
and so avoiding any confusion. The
arrangements are so simple and timed
so perfectly that millions may be

CHICAGO, April l7.-In the un-

The director of the Park Service,
Arno B. Cammerer, carries through
the thought with these words:
The park concept provides a new

economically justifiable, and with far
reaching social Implications Inher-
ent IN it is a new recognition Of
human values and more intelligent
method Of commercial exploitation.
AS such, it is progressive step in
land utilization and must take its
place along with the other great land
use techniques, such as forestry, ag-
| riculture and mining. While 1t has
been given considerable impetus in
this country, it is still in its infancy.
When it has been accorded proper
recognition, the national park system
will comprise fewer lands than those
devoted to forestry and agriculture,
but it will include those areas and
structures which cannot be adequate

ment. I have repeatedly
referred to parks as a form Of land
use. have done so purposely, be-
cause, upon first contact, one Is apt
to think of them as reservations lock-
ing up natural resources and may
fail to perceive the tremendous i'm
plications of the direct human benefit
and the indirect financial return.
For example, the logging of certain
trees might be completely naive and
destructive use of an irreplaceable re-
source whereas their preservation
might be the most complete and en-
during use that could be made of
them. The trees of Yosemite Valley
are not being logged, yet no one could
justilably contend that they are not
being completely and profitably used" "

BY the Associa ted Press.

President Roosevelt put up to Ad-
miral Harry E. Yarnell and other
American officials in Shanghai today
the decision as to what this Nation
should do about the shelling of the
cruiser Augusta there.
One sailor was killed and 1s were
wounded when an anti-aircrsfy shell
flred In the battle between Chinese
and Japanese exploded aboard the
cruiser, the flagship Of the Asiatlc
Fleet.
This Immediately stirred demands
among some members of Congress
that the United States evacuate It's
citizens and withdraw from the war
area as rapidly as possible. Other
Congressmen said the President
should invoke the neutrality act, but
some leaders expressed oelief Mi
Roosevelt had acted properly In de-
laying invocation thus far.
Protest Held Probable.
There was speculation in naval quar-
ters here that Admiral Yarnell prob
ably would protest the shelling Incl
dent to both Japan and China. Dis
patches from Shanghai said the source
OF the shell was unknown.
When the President was asked what
ne intended to do about the inciden,
ne observed that officials in Shanghai
could tell more about it than those
In Washington. He declared. how
ever, that such things were almost
bound to happen under conditions
such as those at Shanghai.
Secretary Hull, at his press confer
ence, termed the shelling of the Au-
gusta AN unfortunate incident"
He said the United States was re-
