PROTESTS ARE UNAVAILING.
District Engineer Says Limited Loads
Over Aqueduct Bridge Are Necessary

Washington and Rosslyn firms that
are protesting against the police order
that limits the weight of loads on the
Aqueduct bridge to six tons are apt to
find but little relief until the bridge is
replaced with an up-to-date structure
adequate to meet traffic demands
According to District Engineer of
Bridges d. f. McComb, the Aqueduct
bridge is designed to support loads of
not exceeding six tons and this limit
is established by police order passed
several years ago. Extensive viola
tions of the order recently caused Mr.
McComp to request the police depart
ment to enforce it strictly.
AS result merchants who use the
bridge have requested the Commits
sioners for hearing to ascertain what,
if any, relief measures can be adopted
Plans have been made for raflooring
the bridge, but, according to Mr.. Nc
Comb, this improvement will not re-
lieve the necessity of enforcing the six
ton limit regulation. 1t is pointed out
that while thirty-five ton street cars
use the bridge the portion of the struc-
ture which they pass over is specially
constructed to bear the additional
weight. There is possibility that the
hearing which the commissioners have
been asked to grant may result in re-
viving the agitation for new Aque-
duct bridge.

Statements From Berlin
Revive Hopes Held Here
of Suitable Adjustment

The statement of Foreign Minister
Won Jagow in Berlin that the German
government would consider carefully
evidence in the Arabic case submitted
by the American government was re-
ceived with interest last night by Off
cials here as confrmatory of informal
assurances to Secretary Lansing re-
Gently by Count Won Bernstorff, the
German ambassador.
The American government has made
it clear that a complete dlSavoWal in
the Arabic case was desired and the
apparent willingness of the German
government to reconsider its position
as set forth in it's last note revived
hope here that the case might be set
tied amicably.
Acting Secretary Polk of the State
Department conferred briefly with the
President late yesterday, but refused
to comment on the Berlin dispatches.
Count Won Bernstorff has not as yet
sought an engagement with Secretary
Lansing. as far as could be learned
last night. but the report from Berlin
that he had been authorized to nego-
tiate for a satisfactory settlement of
the whole submarine warfare problem
bore out the impression held here.

I wish to express appreciation for
the splendid manner in which, early in

out here. At the commencement you
took the most prominent part in the
battle of Festubert. where we not only
gained considerable amount of
ground, but inflicted great losses on
the enemy and captured a large guam
uty or material. Afterward, at Given
chy, you kept up the same fighting
record. and since that, until a few days
ago. you have been doing very hard
work in the trenches
Your record will go down as one of
