Woolcott Automobile
Wrecked Last Week
Hit By Trolley Car

While motoring in Belmar, N. j.,
on the afternoon of Friday, August
27, James V. Woolcott, jr., of Edge
wood lane, Palisade, was the victim
of a most unfortunate automobile
accident.
Young Woolcott, with a party of
four young friends, was coming
through the town at about five
o'clock in the afternoon, the part of
the day when the traffic is heaviest
in the seaside resort. There was a
traffic policeman on duty at the in
tersection of the principal thorough
fares of the town and James stopped
his machine to await directions from
the officer. After few seconds, the
policeman gave him the Ego ahead
signal, and he started the car slowly
across the danger spot.
Just at this juncture trolley ap-
preached, coming at right angles to
the way in which the traffic was NOV
ing. In accordance with all traffic
laws, the motorman should have
stopped his car, but he took the long
chance and tried to make the cross
ing without waiting for his signal.
He bore down upon the Palisade auto
at a rate of between twenty and
twenty-five miles an hour.
Woolcott looked up and saw the
impending danger. Sizing up the
situation, he realized that he could
not make the crossing, he shut off
his power and swerved his machine
so that it would head in the direc-
ton in which the wild trolley was
going. By his quick wit he prob
ably averted catastrophe of serious
if not fatal consequences.
AS it was, the trolley sideswiped
the automobile. The side which came
in contact with the car was badly
damaged, the running board being
crushed, the front fender smashed
out of shape, the front wheel broken,
and the front tire blown out.
The traffic policeman Immediately
rushed to the scene of the accident.
He found that nobody was hurt and
then turned his attention to the
motorman of the trolley.
81 told you this would happen some
day" he shot out. 81 have warned
all the motormen about running over
this crossing, and l have warned you
in particular. You have ignored
these warnings and have repeatedly
taken such a chance as you took
today. Up to this time you have
gotten away with it, but you didn't
today"
James managed to back the dis
abled machine into the garage where
he kept it every night.
A representative of the traction
company called upon Mrs. Woolcott
and James at their hotel and seemed
quite willing to settle for all damage
done. He stated that the company
was noted for it's fairness in dealing
with claims against it and that this
case would prove no exception to the
rule.

Uphold the President-Dsbate Afterwards.
With the full texts OF the Wilson note TO
Germany, and also Of the Bryan appeal to the
country before us, the path Of the patriotic
American citizen seems to us perfectly clear
Uphold the president and debate afterwards.
II there is a real issue between the official
demand made for repsration for our Lusitania
losses and cessation Of submarine attacks on
merchant vessels and the principle Of arbitration
az embodied in our peace treaties there Is every
thing urgent in maintaining our present rights
and nothing to be lost in deferrins the academic
discussion.
We believe that this will be the attitude Of
the country as a whoie--that even those who
are firmly committed to the principle Of arbi-
tration and disarmament can see no advantage
TO the cause by forcing II at the critical moment
when the president is entitled to have the
united support of the American people In his
determined effort to maintain peace by the way
which he believes most effective.
So let US repeat: Uphold the president
debate afterwards.

The American Rsioindsr.

The note delivered at Berlin yesterday by
Ambassador Gerard. az a re1oinder 10 Minister
Won Jagow's representations in connection with
submarine warfare, Is a simple restatement OF
the American position. 1t contains moth
ing Of threat or bluster nor can It's clearly
constructed phrases be twisted into expressions
OF offense. On the contrary It's language Is
straightforward It's statements are earnest, it's
references to the position Of the imperial Ger
man government are respectful, and its whole
text is susceptible only Of Interpretation as
plain-dealing on a matter 30 gravely affecting
the relations between two great nations, each
jealous OF its honor and determined to maintain
its dignity and prestige.
The text Of the note gives occasion for won
DER as to what Mr.. Bryan found in 1t SO repug-
nant TO his cherished ideal of peace for all the
world. Especially as compared with the previ-
GUS note which he signed, II does not support
his allegations az to its contents, nor warrant
the forebodings he seems to harbor as to the
future.
Study of the note indicates the presidents
sole purpose to be insstence on the careful OBJ
servsnce Of an accepted principle predicated on
the requirements Of humanity as we'll as the
essence OF justice and equity. Its application
is the feature that distinguishes modern from
barbaric war. Whether II is to be abandoned
is the substance OF the present protest made by
the United States to Germany.
The presidents renewal OF the proffer OF
good offices in the task OF approaching Great
Britain on behalf OF Germany proceeds on the
assumption Of continued American neutrality.
II comports with the attitude rigidiy maintained
from the first by this country. and should
greatly strengthen our position In the present
diplomatic proceedings.

Pan-American Trade.

Senior Octave zayas, Cuban delegate 10 the
Pan-Ameriean conference, which lately closed
its sessions In Washington and started on a tour
of some OF the larger Cities very plainly touched
o vital point In any and all Pan-American trade
schemes In an address at St. Louis. "To carry
this traffic" said he. I'VE must have ships, and
they must be your SHIPS OF ours" The answer
70 this would seem 20 be a ship subsidy in some
form. and yet we are reminded that a very con-
siderable traffic has been. and sti is being car
ried on between the South American countries
ana the United States. and not all Of It in for
eign vessels.
II would have required more than magic to
have provided fleet OF American-owned ships
to carry all The traffic suddenly thrust upon the
open market as result Of the war. Nor Is II at
all likely such fleet win be seen upon the seas
within q short time. Conditions in the ocean
freight industry are not. nor have they been OF
late years. favorable to American shipping Even
before the passage OF the seaman's bill by the
last congress much American capital was In
vested in vessels Of foreign register. because of
the greater profits that could be obtained. Dem
ocratie efforts to imprOvise a merchant navy
failed because of the inability OF the party in its
councils 70 decide on measure that would even
approximately have filled the bill.
Haste viii not solve the problem. but proper
action under well eOnsidered shipping laws may
bring about such conditions as viii result In
South American trade being carried hithsr in
ships owned in the United States Il is no,
likely. though. that the party that repealed the
canal tolls clause favorins our own ships win DC
much to establish an American merchant

Pooling with Fate.

Bumptious Mexican officials along the bor-
der line are tempting fate by threatening to In
terfere with the operations Of the American Red
Gross society in its efforts to provide for the
relief OF the starving people of Mexico. Appar-
entity blinded by the power they have arbitrarily
welded for so long, these petty pretenders to
greatness are pushing their annoyance to the
utmost limit. The United States has not at
tempted to interfere with their political dis
putes, nor with the antics that have marked
their differences, except when they directly
affected interests other than those peculiar TO
Mexico alone. Taking advantage Of this policy
OF noninterference. the Quarreling factions have
gone to such extremity that conditions in Mex
leo are no longer tolerable. Even now the
leaders are permitted TO compose their disputes
on such basis as they may, but the United States
has determined that this process shall not be
allowed to progress at the risk OF further starva-
tion among the destitute people OF that country.
Relief 10 to be given, and It will be extremely
unwise for any Mexican official TO undertake 10
prevent the furnishing Of food to the suffering
inhabitants OF Mexico.

NEW YORK. June 9-To the Editor Of
The Bee: We wish to voice a protect
against the pernicious legislation exenl-
plified In the amendment of the Inter-
state Commerce commission law intro
dueed by Senator Cummins of Iowa and
known as the Cummins' amendment,
which recently became operative.
This amendment win cost the commer-

benefit except that derived by the rail-
road companies. The bill was rushed
through both the senate and the house
without debate and on it's face indicates

The burden the law imposes on houses
that carry very valuable samples, such

fact that such houses carry floating In
