Gov. Ferguson of Texas yesterday gave
President Wilson an optimistic view Of

President that the recognition Of Gen.
Carranza had gone far toward the re-

speedy elimination of Gen. Villa.

should have the effect Of focusing ma, a,
difficulty in the prevention Of street
accidents.
Pioneer work in traffic regulation in
this country was done by william
Phelps Emo. a wealthy New York mo-
torist. Leaving the opera one night.
Mr.. Emo was compelled to wait half an
hour for his own car because of the
disorderly crush Of vehicles striving to
get near the entrance. His personal
annoyance deeply impressed him with
the fact that such a condition should
not exist in a great city like New
York. and he determined to find out
how Paris and London got around the
difficulty. AS result of his studies in
those cities he formulated a traffic sys-
tenn for New York, and many of his
ideas are now in effect there. One OF
Mr.. Eno's ideas was the rotary traffic
system, which compels all vehicles to
go around a circle at congested cor
ners
In Boston and Philadelphia conges-
ton has been considerably relieved and
danger reduced by using two narrow
streets to carry traffic IN opposite di-
rections. The use of aisles of safety
on wide streets has not proved as sue
cessful as was expected. Many Of
them are soon to be abolished in New
York.

December S.-The German press treats
the Ford peace mission only as

tricity According to opinion here. the
mission will have but slight chance of
exerting its efforts in Germany or other
belligerent countries, in view of the
fact that the passports of its members
are good only for neutral countries.

operate at much shorter range than II
it had remained in New York.
1t would be possible. of course. for
Germany to relax it's regulations and
permit the members of the Ford party
to enter Germany without passports,
but in view of the German knowledge
that the mission comes without omcial
inspiration or the approval of WASH

uncrowded streets this is merely a
waste of time to the motorist and of no
benefit to the public.
Then, too. the danger to the pedes-
trian is largely dependent upon how
crowded the sidewalks and crossings
may be. In Chicago during the rush
hours the sidewalks are so filled with
people that the pedestrians are literally
compelled to walk in the streets A
number of serious accidents are said
to be traceable to this condition. In
New York men have been employed to
count the number of pedestrians pass

more than ten persons per minute are
