Fire Department Not Exempt.

In connection with the speed of fire
department apparatus or any other
vehicle, on the streets of the District of
Columbia, it is recalled that at a recent
trial in the Police Court, when the
operator of the ambulance of Emer-
gency Hospital was charged with vio-
lattng the speed regulations. Judge
Alexander r. Mu1lowny ruled that the
fire department is not exempted.
In giving his decision in the case.
Judge Mullowny said that the law
specifies that no vehicle must be oper-
ated within the fire limits at greater
rate of speed than twelve miles an
hour. He said that in this connection
the fire apparatus is not exempted.
The law is silent in the matter" he
declared.
Section 81 of article IL of the police
regulations of the District of Colum-
hia. as amended to July 81, 1915. pro-
Nides as follows: "A vehicle or street
car shall not exceed the rate of speed
established by law. and shall proceed
with great caution. especially on narrow
streets. in making turns, in crossing
other streets and in passing other vehi-

Ministers Receive Copies.

The ministers and other officials who
were entitled to it have received a copy
of the note and have been studying the
document.
AS far as the Associated Press has
been made acquainted with the senti-
ment in higher quarters, it would be
wrong to regard it as anything but ex-
tremely grave There is little hope that
any answer can go to the length de-
manded by the Washington govern
ment, despite the fact that the govern
ment desires to maintain good relations
with the United States. The sentiment
is against any weakening of Germany's
submarine campaign, to say nothing of
an abandonment of it.

Among our officials there are some

no use for the voter after no has used

"You merely show up when you
