TRY TO relieve
CAR CONGESTION
Railway Company Submits
Proposition to Public Utili-
ties Commission.
81 CARS in TWO HOURS
Recommends Stopping Certain Four
tenth and F Street Cars on
South Side of Street

The Washington Railway and Electric
Company yesterday made the first move
toward relieving car congestion in Four
teenth street. between F and II streets
northwest, by proposing to the Public
Utilities Commission that It be permitted
to stop south-bound Fourteenth street
cars on the south of street.
The request was taken under considera-
ton by the commission.
I'm order to relieve congestion of cars
on Fourteenth street northwest, between
II and F streets, during certain periods
between and 9:l5 a.. m.," reads the let
ter from the company, ''it Is recon-
wharves, Bureau of Engraving and
Printing and Fourteenth and B streets
southwest be permitted to stop on the
far, or south, side of at Fourteenth
street for the purpose of taking on and
letting OF passengers.
while this arrangement will cause
some slight Inconvenience to passengers
transferring az Fourteenth and F streets,
1t will permit the unloading of a bureaS
car on the south side of F street at the
same time that an street car is un-
loading and loading on the north side.
thereby aiding In the expeditions move
ment of cars. and, in our Judgment,
greatly relieving the congestion on Four
teenth street. about which considerable
complaint has been made"
Sign Posts mt Curb.
The letter states that the company
would place sign posts on the curb line
on both sides of F street for the guild
ance of the public during the hours thai
the stops were being made on the south
side of the street. They could be re-
moved for the rest OF the day.
The congestion, which began several
months ago when the Washington Rail
way and Electric Company extended Its
tracks down Fourteenth street from Z
street to Pennsylvania avenue. prompted
the Public Utilities Commission to begin
an investigation of service on all the
principal lines of the city.
The letter states that eighty-four cars
are operated from Georgetown and
Mount Pleasant between Z and o'clock
in the morning. all of which pass over
the stretch of track in Fourteenth street
from II to F streets.

Why not consider II honestly and not
hyplDtiZe ourselves or be carried away
by ringing oratory? The enthusiasm at
the big pan-American dinner the other
night flowed high. We were all in love
with each other and as thick as thieves.
In looking the crowd over. however, l
doubted IL five OF the United States citi-
zens present had ever been in South
America and am pretty sure that only
one of the speakers had.
They talked of what they hoped rather
than what they knew.
To any one familiar at hand with
Spanish-Americsn conditions, social. po-
litical and military. this defense alliance
seems almost grotesque.
To begin with, they are not very fond
of US In the Spanish-Americsn countries.
anyway. We have not done much to
develop trade there. and not done II In
their way. They had rather trade with
Germany or England any day than with
the United States. Despite all protesta-
tions of friendship at these love feasts.
our Southern neighbors have not for
gotten our annexation of more than half
of Mexico's territory in 1S47, our seizure
of the Canal Zone, the Platt amendment
and our interference with the internal
affairs of Nicaragua Santo Domingo.
Hayti and Mexico. 1t has all bred a
distrust for US that no explaining will
alIay.
Suppose, though. that We did have a
defense alliance with the southern re-
publics and got into a war with a Eu-
ropean or Asiatic power. None of our
allies has any transports worth mention
ing, and only Chile, the Argentine and
Brazil have anything that even looks
like navy.
They Couldn't Swim Up.
How. then. could they bring their forces
to our aid? Especially as our assailant
would naturally be a power with as trong
navy.
Again, suppose that somehow those
troops did get up here. what would hap
pen? We would want to send them back
home again or push them into the ocean.
One sure thing is that we could not play
In the same yard with them. Any one
who has seen South American army
knows that to be true.
