most beautiful city in the world was
made by Gen. R. C. Marshall, Jr., of
Chicago, on a visit to the Capital dur

Gen. Marshall, who was head of the

1 the war and supervised the construction
of the mammoth Army cantonments,
is now president of the Associated Gen

Speaking of the future of the city,
