Effort will be made by the Bright- j wood Citizens’ Association to have the name of Brightwood avenue restored | present name of Georgia avenue. This action was decided on at a meeting of the association heid last night in the New Masonic Temple. Charles W. Tl‘u’\)’ presided. Jhe idea of restoring the old name ! was suggested by William McK. Clay- ton, who told of the early history of lnriphl\\‘ood avenue and how it desig- nated the suburb of Brightwood more | than did Georgia‘ayenue. Itavas dur- |ing the time ,that Senator Bacon was in Congress. that the change was made, he said, the idea being to have {that southern state represented by one of the main avenues of the Na- | tional Capital instead of a small street. He pointed out also that | promiges were made at that time that much would be done to improve the thoroughfare in the event that it was named Georgia avenue, but those im- provements never took place. The senator died later. Adopted by Unanimous Vote. A resolution bearing on the subject as unanimously adopted. The association, at’the suggestion of Judge Charles W. Russell, also will avenue, which crosses Brightwood sonic Temple, to Shepherd avenue, the proposed change being in honor of Gov. Shepherd. The repeal of the Borland act, com- ing abutting property owners to ¥ for ten feet of street pavement on either side of streets, which it was declared by Charles C. Lancaster to L burdensome tax imposed on pri- vate taxpayers, when the improve- ment 1 95 per cent for the benefit of the general public, was urged in a resolution adopted. The resolution also provided that the assistance of 0!]\,‘)‘ associations be invited in se- curing the repeal of this statute. New members were elected as fol- lows: J. C. Phillips, Marshall H. Wil- son, L. W. Slaven, Herbert H. Olsen. Charles H. Scngstack. jr.; W. S. Al- lison. Cecil W. Anderson and Walter Pritchard. _Thl.- association adopted a resolu- tion expressing appreciation of the appointment of Commissioners Cuno H. Rudolph and Capt. James F. Oys- er. A letter of sympathy will be sent by Secretary L. F. Randolph to the rector, vestrymen and parishioners of Rock Creek Church. which was re- cently destroyed by fire. Tax Reduction Urged. The District Commissioners will be urged to make an effort to reduce the taxation in the District from the pres- ent rate of $1.95.to § which, in the belief of the association, would be amply sufficient to raise the neces- sary revenue for the expenses of the District, ecdonomically administered. The Commissioners also were urged that a hearing on the ‘subject be granted the citizens of the District, believing that the reduction to $1.85 proposed by the Commissioners can be further reduced. The association approved the or- ganization of a base ball team by the young men in the community in the Suburban League, and at the request of Ernest Clifford and Robert Wan- nan the association will assist in raising funds for uniforms and equip- mfr')':l of ;he l?rlghtw’ood team. e resignations of F. E. Hay: 8. Cole were accepted. Tayden.and Memorial Day Plans. Col. J. F. Bingham of the Gr. Army of the Republic. chairman. of the excrcises on Memorial day at Battle Ground cemetery, outlined the plans and told of the new rostrum being erected by the government on the cemetery grounds on Georgia ave- nue, near Walter Reed Hospital. It was announced that the cast side of Georgia avenue from Concord ave. nue to- Peabody street had been changed by the zoning commission from first to second commercial. Elmer W. Johnston urged that the association endeavor to eecure the much-needed improvements to No. 22 engine house at Brightwood, request- ed in resolutions adopted some time ago. CONFEDERATE STATES’ SEAL AT RICHMOND Memorial Literary Society Says It Has Been There Since 1912. A denial of the story widely - lished at the time of the déal}?“‘o’f James Jones, body servant of Jeffer- son Davis, president of the Confeder- ate States, to the effect that. Jones had hidden away the great seal of the Confederacy and never divulged its whereabouts, s made by the officers of the Confederate Memorial Literary Society of Richmond, Va. They point out that the Confederate seal is now in Richmond, in the Confederate Mu- seum, where it has been e si![;lce S on exhibition he story of James Jones an burying of the geal by him in d!'.lmh: secret place is declared to be a myth. The following facts in regard to the gre: eal of the C Ereat Confederacy are The seal of the Confederacy wa in silver in England, the wt’:rkdlv:eicr‘llé intrusted to J. S. Wyon, maker of the great seals of England, by James M. Mason, Confederate . commissioner to England. By joint Tesolution approved April 30, 1863, the nfederate con- gress adopted a seal for the Confed- erate States, and it was in pursuance of this direction Mr. Mason acted. On July 6, 1864, Mr. Mason notified the state department that the seal was ready. 1t was shipped and passed the blockade, arriving in September in Richmond. It remained there until the time of the evacuation, whén the seal was carried from Richmond by Mrs. William J. Bromwell, wife of a clerk in the state department. It was hidden in a barn for some time near Richmond. Ultimately it was taken to Washington. In 1872, John J Pickett acted as Mr. Bromwell's agent in selling to the United States government for $75,000 certain archives of the Confederate depart- ment of state which Bromwell had removed from Richmond. The agent of the government was Lieut, Thomas O, Selfridge, U. S. N. The Clnfederate seal was given to Mr. Selfridge by Mr. Pickett as a token of appreciation. I and was Mot known unti] the person papcrs of Mr. Pickett had been ae. quired by ‘the Library of Congress and examined by Gaillar Hunt. Later the seal was purchased for $3,000 & taken to Richmond. $3:200and —_—— URGE PRINTING BILL CUT. District Can Save 50 Per Cent, Says Committee in Report.

ARTICLE 3. The Atlantic fleet, under Admiral Henry T. Mayo, went on a war basis | at 2 o'clock the afternoon of February ! 3, 1917, At the same hour of the same day President Wilson delivered his me: ge ‘to Congress severing relations with Germany, and the State Depa-t-| ment handed Bernstorft his passpc . ! 1 had just finished sending out a| one-line dispatch ordering the mobi- | |lization of naval communications. | when a summons came to me to attend ! !a conference with the President at the White House. _He had finished the de- livery of his message and returned to his official residence. My message. which put all our com-| munications—radio, telegraph, tele-1 phone, mails and signals—on a war| basis, read as follows: “One Alatl Radicode. Communications. SECNA V. “Secnav” is the code word for Secre-, tary of the Navy. The order was' sputtering out by wireless as 1 walked over to the White House. I found the| ecretary of War had also been sum- moned. Fears German Plotters. The President was anxious concern- ing the safety of military and naval property. We knew enough about; German plotting to feel the very real for this anxiety. There were nds of aliens in the United es, none of whom could be in-: ned legally unless or until war was declared. What might happen under the provocation to alien sentiment which had been given in severing re- lations with Germany none of us could but obviously the situation was perilous, and demanded taking ex- traordinary precautions. Orders were immediately sent to every naval and military plant and station in the United States, Hawaii, Mobilize Naval } cause Alaska, Guam and the Philippines, to bar all visitors and to strengthen guards. The guard for the Panama canal was doubled. The publication of the movement of | naval vessels and of the daily orders to naval officers w discontinued, ln' ial enemy | order to prevent information of a nature useful to the potent! reaching German ears. The ships we had maintained along the coast to enforce neutralty regula- tions were increased in number, and this consideration for neutrality now became a consideration for our own safety And a virtual coast patrol was established. Wilson Keeps Close Watch. The President watched every step during these days with closest at- tention. He was not satisfied with general reports on what was being done. The Monday following the break in diplomatic relations he appeared sud- denly in my office. I was hard at work on plans, reports and orders. I told him what I had done, and what I was doing. He suggested we go together to the War Department. The Secretary of War was there, and the three of us spent a long session discussing the situation. Some of ghe things the President said to us ‘are indelibly impressed upon my memory. He told us the breach in diplomatic relations did not necessarily mean war, but it brought us so close to the possibility we must put our house in order and be reagly for any emer- gency. He was concerned about the person- nel in our respective departmen ach of you must surround your- selves with the ablest men you have,” he said, and, turning to me, he asked whether 1 felt that my immediate ad- visers—the chief of naval operations, the chiefs of bureaus and the officers in important commands affoat—were the right ones to retain in these posi- tions. . Get and Keep the Best, “They are the best in the Navy,” I told him. He asked the same question of Sec- retary Baker, and he replied that his men knew their jobs, and Were geing ahead with them. Some Were neces,, sarily slated for early retirement, but to anticipate this, he thought, would be unwise, occasioning need- less alarm and disturbing morale. The President listened intently to us, and reiterated his desire that only the ablest, most alert and ener- getic men should be put in places of responsibility. “Get and keep the best,” he sald, as _our conference ended. We continued developing our plans along the indicated lines. On the sale day the order was issued mobilizing communications I had sent a dispatch requiring every ship of the three fleets—Atlantic, Pacific and Asiatic— to report immediately on its readiness for war. The condition of the shig guns, machinery and personnel, to- gether with what repairs or additiong might be needed, were imperative matters for information. As a result of this dispatch we knew very quickly precisely where we stood, and were able to meet promptly and effectively the conditions which required atten- tion and femedy. Events Move Rapldly. After the cabinet meeting of March 20, when decision was reached that Congress should be asked to declare war, things moved with increasing rapidity. Admiral Mayo had notified me that he planned to bring his gunnery ex- ercises and maneuvers to an end by April 5, and to start north for home waters. We were anxious to interfere as little as’ possible with the impor- tant practice work off Cuba, but when it was settled beyond reasonable doubt that we were to become a bel- ligerent, we decided to call the At- lantic fleet northward at once. So following the March 20 meeting, I dis patched an order which headed the fleet for Hampton roads. Plans to Protect Shipping. That same afternoon, accompanied by Admiral Benson, chief of naval operations, 1 attended a meeting of the general board of the Navy, and asked the board, in the name of the President, to draft at once recom- mendations for some means more ef- fective than that of armed guards for protecting American shipping enter- ing European ports. In reply, the board reiterated recom- mendations which it had made Feb- ruary 4, as follows: (a) Escort vessels to deep water from our ports, and similarly from deep water to our ports. 3 (b) Arrange with the British and French governments for the convoy of | our merchant ships through the barred zones. “ (c) Merchant ships to proceed on the high seas from points of leaving ‘and receiving escorts, depending upon their guns for protection, and upon changes of course to follow alternate s. g m(‘:ll: "Arrange with British and French governments a code of signals to be used in directing merchangships as to routes to be followed and points of ing escorts. m(e:)t E‘Itablllh a patrol of the At- tic_coast. ‘l(nf) cRecrult up to the limit allowed by law for emergencies in order to provide crews for patrols and auxil- faries, and to fill battleship comple- ments which have been depleted. All Ready for War. Obviously Some of thess recom- mendations could not be put into ef- fect until tate of war existed.

Vessels shall not strip unless ordered to do so when mobilization is ordered. 9. When the requirements of ves- sals as to personnel, material, facil- ities or repairs, in fitting out for war service, conflict, they shall be given precedence in the alphabetical fr{ller of their assigned precedence etters. i Must Report Promptly. | 10. Upor receipt of message “Alnav | | availability,” reports shall be made || immediately to the department by the officer designated on the mobiliza- tion sheet of the estimated earliest date when each vessel could be ready in all respects, so far as material is concerned, for war purposes. These reports shall, for each vessel, consist of name of vessel and date. The mes- sage “Alnav availability” calls for a report, but should never be construed as an order to take any steps what= ever towards mobilization. 11. Comments and suggestions use- ful in perfecting the mobilization plan outlined in the mobilization sheets and in this letter are requested. 12. Acknowledge this letter by radio or wire. A8 amatter of fact, the drafting and issuance of this mobilization program had been anticipated in the Navy De- partment by almost a year. It was immediately after the sinking of the | Sussex—April 27, 1916, to be specific —that a_mobilization plan was first sent to the fleets. This was “refer- || ence (a)” the destruction of which is | | ordered above. The thrilling days of | i/ the Sussex crisis—which carried us |l|| to the very brink of war and were ||| more thrilling for us in Washington | ||| than the general public knew—make ||| 2 story in themselves which I intend ||| it | il i Il to tell.
