lined in the recent note to President
Wilson as exorbitant and "couchei in
impertinent language" and declared
that Germany's only possible answer
was by force of arms.
This will, We hope" said the presi-
dent, soon enough be impressed on NJ
BRAND, the French premier, and David

glorious troops, and not in the least by
our brave submarines"
Although expressing regret at the
failure OF the peace movement the

fighting for existence.

PROCRESSVESN SENATE

Progressive republicans in the Senat.

the objections urged by George "

Adams for many years. does not con
cur in this criticism of Mr.. Adams
trend of political thought as bcin.
anti progressive.
Il can only account for that charge
against Mr.. Adams said Senator Cum

fact OF Mr. Adams having supported Sen
ator Allison in 1908 In the csmpais
against me may have placed him in th.

PARKING REGULATION FOR
N. Y. AVENUE Is CHANGED
Space Between 18th and 18th Streets
Is Abandoned for Vehicles on
Merchants Plea.

New York avenue between 18th and
14th streets northwest is to be aban-
doned as a parking space for vehicles.
The Commissioners today, on recon-
mendation of Maj. Pullman, supertn-
tendent of police, and following rep-
reservations by business men, amended
the police regulations to this effect.
The change will become operative in
thirty days.
1t was decided that this thorough
fare is too narrow to justify the con-
tinuance of the center space for park
ing purposes.
Suggestion also was made by business
men in the vicinity of New York avenue
that the regulation prohibiting the
parking Of vehicles In certain sections
for more than fifteen minutes between
the hours of s am. and 6 DIM he
amended to extend the time to thirty
minutes.
The Commissioners have not acted on
this suggestion. but other changes in
the parking regulations are under con-
sideration, 1t is stated. The center
parking spaces in Pennsylvania avenue
and other streets where necessary will
be temporarily abandoned during the
inaugural period.
