HOLIDAY TRAFFIC
SB|G INCREASE

An increase of so per cent. over
the normal holiday increase in traf-
fic out of the city is shown in ticket
sales and reservations for the period
from December IS to "a.
This is taken to indicate that
many war workers who have been
longing for home since the signing
of the armistice. are hieing them
selves back to communities whence
they came to help Uncle Sam
The normal increase in outbound
traffic for this time of the year is
about 100 per cent, according to an
announcement from the ticket offices
at Union Station this morning. This
year it has been more than 150 per
cent, according to figures shown by
the advance sales and sales to date.
Another significant feature is that
with double the outbound traffic
there is considerable more inbound
baggage than outbound. This is
ascribed to the fact that war work
ers coming to Washington Travelled
as lightly as possible, not only be-
cause IL was necessary to conserve
space on trains at the time. but be-
cause rooming conditions were In
adequate to much more than furnish
beds for the. workers.
To meet this heavy outbound
travel, the Railroad Administration
ticket office, at Thirteenth and F
streets is being kept open until $3.50
each evening except Sunday and VIII
continue so until Christmas. Addi-
tioaI ticket windows have also been
opened at Union Station.

WON'T RACE Upton
TILL LPEACE RE|GNS

NEW YORK. Dec. 2o.-Formal re-
fusaI to meet Sir Thomas Lipton's
yacht in a series of races for the
Americas Cup was today on its way
to the Royal Ulster Yacht Club. The
refusal carried the information that
the New York Yacht Club believes
the time inappropriate TO arrange fos
a mseting next fall, in view OF the
fact that a state OF war still exists
and that wounded sailors and soldiers
are being returned to this country.
Hope was expressed that arrange
ments might be made for a series OF
races in 1920.
The races were to have been held
next Semptember. according to the
text OF the challenge as It was re-
ceived here. The Ngift deed which
gave the cup to the New York Yacht
Club stipulates that a challenger
must give ten months notice, which
precludes the possibility OF Lipton's
claiming the cup by default, .
