KINGDOM OF ARABIA
BORN OUT OF WAR
Youngster Protests to United States
Against Brutal Treatment of
Prisoners BY the Turks.
e22s-Fancy Aprons. One Size Price 1Oc.

Washington, Dec. 2.-The new king
dom of Arabia, organized a month
ago, has started it's diplomatic career
with a vigorous protest Ito the civil
lized world" against the alleged cruel
ties Of "the band Of Unionists and af-
filiates" at Constantinople, who were
declared to have treated prisoners
brutally. A copy of the communica-
ton reached the state department to-
day.
How the United States can respond
is a problem as the department has
not yet discovered how the foreign
office can be communicated with. The
United States has no consular or dip
lomatic representative in Arabia, and
has not been able to acknowledge the
announcement of the Kingdoms or
ganization.
1t is certain, however, that no def
mite step will be taken soon, for this
country is following the theory that
changes in government made now in
Europe may be overturned at the
peace conference.

HEARING ARRANGED ON
AQUEDUCT bridge site
District Commissioners TO Listen on
Monday to Opinions of Citizens
Regarding Location.

The Commissioners announced yester-
day that a public hearing will be held In
the board room Of the District Building
at 10 o'clock Monday morning to obtain
expressions OF opinion from the citizens
on the location OF the proposed new
Aqucduct Bridge. for which Congress
probably will make an appropriation at
this session.
The Commissioners decided to hold the
hearing at the suggestion Of Secretary OF
War Newton d. Baker. who Informed
them Tuesday that he had receiyed re-
quests for a hearing from the Chamber
Of Commerce. the Georgetown Citizens
Association. and other civic bodies.
These organizations were prompted TO
ask for a hearing because Of a fear that
the new bridge might be located some
distance east OF the present structure
which, they believe. would hamper trafnc
between Virginia and the District
Some members of the Georgetown Ciu-
Gems Association who hope to see
Georgetown again become a shipping port
believe that the harbor facilities OF
Georgetown would be injured II the bridge
is built east OF the present one.
The Chamber OF Commerce request for
a hearing states that the members view
with alarm any project for the location
OF the bridge which will deprive George
town Of bridge facilities to the Virginia
shore"

Liquidation May subsidc.

Discussing yesterdays market. a re-
liable New York broker said:
"LiCsIidatiOn showed signs of subsid-
ing The vulnerable portion of the short
interest was inclined to cover. and as a
result thereof moderate betterment dew
eloped. The Street was treated to quite
an array of conflicting reports with re-
spect to the European situation. Advices
as to peace proposals were in the main
disCredted, but even so II appears to
be the consensus of opinion that unless
the Germans succeed before Verdun that
something is likely to occur OF a kind
that will permit of more definite conclus-
ions as to when hostilities are likely to
cease. The position of the stock market
has been iproved by much scattered liqui-
dalton and speculative selling, the latter
spelling an increase in the short account.
Strong interests are still arrayed on
the constructive side, and while It might
be time before aggressive bullish tao
tics are again inauguratcd, still it would
appear TO be the part of wisdom to re-
place long lines on a scale down from
prevailing levels"
