to the wounded man. The latter had
claims upon him for he was OF the
same race and creed. Both were Jews
and both worshipped the same God.
But disregarding the claims of race
and creed, the priest passed by on
the other side. Next Levite passed
that way. But he perhaps was 50
busy reading the copy Of the law
which he ever carried at his side that
he could not attend to the sufferers
needs. Here too, weID the claims Of
race and creed, but he likewise ignor
ed these claims and passed by on the
other side. Finally Samaritan jour-
neyed that way. He WAS Of an alien
race and of another creed. He be-
1onged to a hated race for the Jews
and Samaritans had no realings with
each other. There We're no claims of
race and creed as in the previous in
stances. There was just one claim
and that was the claim OF suffering
In response to that claim
the Samaritan ministered to him,
binding up his wounds, and placing
him upon his own breast conveyed
him to neighboring inn and made
provision for his care and entertain
ment. By ministering to that stran-
gers needs the Samaritan proved him
self to be a neighbor.

A Street Car Experiment.

There is no cause for excitement over the rush
hour congestion OF street car traffic at the inter
section OF Fourteenth and F streets northwest,
where connection with trackage has recently
been installed. Putting this link in operation
necessarily involved numerous route changes in
extensive system, and experiments will be
necessary in order to discover how cars travcrs-
ing a wide territory must be routed in order to
obtain all the advantages and corvcniences posi-
bic from the improvement. Obviously great bene-
fits are to be derived from the additional track
age, but a reasonable time must be allowed for
the working out of the problem The best results
arc likely to be achieved by permitting the rail-
tereierencc or advice and if it fails it will then
offer its assistance
In the discussion OF street railway facilities
there is often failure to realize that Washing
ton has been growing rapidly in recent years and
that traffic in the business section has increased
tremendously Its people in the past have been
used to quick transportation with very little
crowding, because the streets and trackage pro-
vidcd generously for all requirements; but we are
rapidly growing up to the downtown transporta-
ton capacity, with all the rolling stock that
be utilized in commission
Washington is still very far ahead of other
cities OF its and population in street car serv-
ice, but within very few hours each day the
roads are called upon to handle great and growing
crowds OF wagczearncrs, and may we'll
begin to realize that, in common with the people
OF other busy cities shall have to endure some
discomforts and inconvenience and some delays
in the rush hours.

Arabic Not Conveyed.

The question is asked why the Arabic was not
conveyed: Most likely it was not believed posi-
bic that passenger ship sailing away from a
British port, and therefore carrying munitions
of war, but instead many passengers among them
Americans and other neutrals, would be attacked
in the way it Ono might suppose the British
admiralty had seen enough of German war meth
DDS not to take anything for granted. but would
protect their big merchant ships as they do their
transports and battlcships.
The best evidence that the Arabic had no con-
roy is that the ship torpedoed. The German
