Open Viaducts

Proposition.

Sauce for the goose is sauce for

Yesterday. whereupon the administra-
tive board addressed a communication
to the street committee OF city coun-
ell asking that the Virginia Railway
and Power company be required 10
throw open the viaducts controlled py
It, free to the public. Such action 10
particularly urged If the city grants
the various requests OF the street car
company.
There are three viaducts in the city.
which the administrative board has
in mind The main one, however. is
the Marshall Street bridge. which con-
meets the vast East End population
with the business districts of the city.
The others are those connecting the
Northside with the city over Shockoe
valley The latter cases are second
airy. in that the great majority of peo-
pie living in Barton Heights, Ginter
Park and Highland Park. use the
street cars or come to the city In their
own vehicles. Few of them depend
upon Shanks' mare.

ficial. 'if the city is going to give
the street car folks something for

Pedestrians are permitted the use of
the Marshall viaduct free OF charge
now, 1t Is pointed out, SO that those
who care to walk over have the same
privileges as those do who walk over
from the Northside, or use the streets

viaducts. but there are many in the
East End. 1t Is said. who would pa

Enlistment of a titney line in that

This question has worn itself out on
various occasions In the council COM
mittees, but its revival at this time is
believed to be accompanied with some
chances OF success.
At the many meetings of the street
committee, held for discussion Of mat
tiers in reference to relief for the street
car company. 1t has been said by Of
ficials of the company as well as by
citizens that cooperation Is being
sought. and that the company wants
to do what IL may believe is the best
thing for the general public, always.
Of course. with the idea Of self-preser-
walton uppermost, and the people have
said they stood ready to help the COM
pany bridge itself over the hard war
times, IL such help were really needed.
With this view OF the situation, the
administrative board feels that now
is the time for all good citizens to
come to the aid of their country.
The street committee will meet
next Monday night to consider the
street car petition praying for a
straight five-cent fare. At that time
the letter from the administrative
hoard will be presented and may have
some weight In the discussion.

Russian and Siberian Situation

President Wilson Discusses Problem With Nine Marie Boc

Allied Representatives

Ing peaceful penetration to the east
of Petrograd into the region Of the
CZecho Slav people, that no effective
eastern front could be maintained
there unless the allied forces moved
at least 300 miles south of ArchanEel.
Although the harbor OF Archangel was
kept open by ice rams until January
in the winter OF 1851. great stores
would have 70 be landed at the port.
Such stores and the men needed for
an expedition perforce would be taken
from shipments originally destined for
the western front.
Although the allies appear agreed
that efforts to aid Siberia should be
made at once. even IL a large armeE
force is necessary, they are not one
In supporting plan which would
tend to weaken the western 'front.'
Those opposing the proposed Arch.
angel penetration hold that they favor
the Siberian plsn because the man
power necessary for the latter could
be supplied largely by the Japanese.
The memorandum presented to the
Japanese foreign minister and the al
lied ambassadors in Toxic by Colonial
Vladimir Hurban on behalf OF tha
Czecho -Slav national council was In.
vtted, 1t is understood here The
memorandum set forth that the
CZecho Slav units were working under
plan Of the council, which stated that
they were to proceed to the western
front. II was pointed out that N
agreement with the National Council
would be necessary II the Cxecho- Slar
forces now in Siberia were to be given
new orders directing them to aid any
efforts to be made by the allies Is
is assumed here that such an agree
ment may be forthcoming. Action In
the matter rests with Professor =. O.

Washington. July 1o,--~Latest al
vices from Russia and Siberia re-
ceived here today are so conflicting
that an immediate decision on the
policy to he pursued by the United
States appears highly improbable. AL
though II is recognized that President
Wilson is anxious to reach an early
solution to the problem, 1t appears
that new differences Of opinion
among his advisers, resulting from the
developments of the past twenty four
hours, cannot be adjusted fer several
days at least.
The president today discussed the
problems of Russia with Nine. Marie
Rothkarova, leader of the Battalion
of Death. who during the regime of
the kerensky party was A, leader in
the effort to prevent the collapse of
the eastern front which followed
when the BoIshevist party seized con-
troll of the government, The presl-
dent also met today with the mem
hers of the war cabinet. II is under
stood that matters relating almost
entirely to industrial and military at
fairs AS they affect present operations
of the army were discussed.
1t was established today that Presi-
dent Wilson has resolved to send an
economic mission 70 ~Siherta.-The
United States mission will be accom-
panied by other missions representing
Great Britain. France and Japan. The
number OF armed guards TO be sup
piled by the nations sending missions
Is as yet undecided.
Should President Wilson decide that
small armed force only is needed.
his plan will be enthusiastically sup
ported by the allies. The strong fac
lion which has frankly declared that
a strong military expedition is essen
tial to the success of any plan for
giving aid TO Siberia is confident that
this plan must he adopted sooner or
later and is anxious to see any step
taken, even if 1t involves only the use
of n small force Supporters of this
plan argue that once an allied armed
guard Is placed in Siberia. develop
