JAPAN TO GIVE GREATER
AID TO ENTENTE ALLIES

TOXIC, August 2S.-The Kokumin
Shimbun says:
Premier Okuma states that Japan
has decided to give greater assistance
to Russia to prosecute the war. He
could not discuss details. but allowed
it to be understood that this assistance
would take the form Of the forwarding
of greater supplies of munitions"
The Associated Press learns that
Japan has decided to employ all avail
able governmental and private re-
sources for increasing the output of
munitions for the allies, particularly
Russia. The Japanese government be-
lieves the time has arrived for more
concerned action against the enemies of
Japan and her allies.
One Of Russia's greatest embarrass-
ments in her conducc of the war has
been a shortage of guns and ammuni-
ton. Military writers. while not dis
counting the effectiveness of the enor-
nous Austro German offensive move
ment, have stated that the extent of
Russian reverses in the last few
months has been due in part to mad
equate supplies of munitions.

COTTON SITUATION
BEFORE PRESIDENT
Confers With W. P. G. Harding
on Conditions in South Fol-
lowing Contraband Edict.

President Wilson today held confer
ence with w. P. G. Harding. southern
member of the federal reserve board
on plans for aiding the cotton situation
in the south resulting from the action
of Great Britain and France in placing
cotton on the list of contraband of
war. The President is preparing to
send a vigorous protest to England
against making cotton contraband
Mr.. Harding some time ago investi-
gated the cotton situation thoroughly
for the United States government. He
began work on the subject last Janu-
airy, during discussion of the plan to
have the federal reserve board act as
a central committee in the administra-
ton of a proposed e-hundred-and-
thirty -five-million- dollar cotton loan
fund
Mr.. Harding today made recommended
lions to the President for steps to be
taken by this government 10 aid the cot
ton situation. but refused to make public
what he had advised. One plan under
consideration is understood to be the send
ing of an informal commission to England
to arrange for the sale of surplus cotton.
As to Protecting Market.
1t is said in Washington today that
there would be no surprise if the groups
of English fnanciers who intend to come
to the United States to try to arrange a
| loan for the financing of the allies, or a
| credit for that purpose, in connection with
the lowering of the rate of exchange or
pounds sterling, might not have something

cotton situation
| In making public the announcement

14TH AND F CONGESTION
NOT REGARDED SERIOUS
Public Utilities Commission Officials
Believe New Routing I'm
proves Conditions.

Public utilities commission officials do
not regard as serious the congested traf-
fic conditions at 18th and F streets pro-
duced by the operation Of street cars over
the new line down 18th street from +
street to Pennsylvania avenue, in order
to afford direct transportatio. facilities
from Northwest Washington to the
bureau of engraving and printing and the
Department of Agriculture.
While admitting that the congestion at
this point is greater than formerly, they
point out that the new arrangement has
improved traffic conditions as whole and
greatly relieved congested conditions else
where
For example. the new through serv-
ice, it is claimed has led to an improve
ment in conditions at 18th and q
streets and 18th and i streets. More
than half of the cars that formerly
used 18th and 6 streets as terminal
now park at l4th and Water streets
southwest. Likewise, cars that for
merly would be lined up at l4th and x
streets for the rush of patrons from
the bureau of engraving and printing
and Department of Agriculture now
park at 18th and Water streets. out of
the way of trunk line traffic.
Some Congestion Certain.
1t is pointed out that from 5000 to
1000 patrons cannot be handled during
the rush hours on through service to
the government buildings south of
Pennsylvania avenue without some
congestion of traffic resulting at the
I4th and F street intersection. The
commission anticipated such a condi-
ton, but does not consider it as serious
as the congestion at 18th street and
New York avenue and other street rail-
way intersections.
According to an official of the com
mission, should the congestion become
worse it would be possible to relieve it
by a rerouting arrangement using the
L, street line. But this will not be done
except as a last resort. the object of
the new 18th street line was to fur
nish more direct service than the one
via r. street 1t is understood to be
the commissions plan to abolish the +
street tracks. though this is not likely
to happen until the new arrangement
has been thoroughly tested.
