The change of lawful speed should
not make any difference in the street
condition, for it merely legalizes rates
that have been permitted by the po-
lice for long time. 1t should not be
assumed that because these speeds
were tolerated in excess of the pre-
scribed rates in the past a similar al
lowance of excess speed will be per-
mitted under the new rule. These lat

extent that the speed rule or the right
of way rule is observed in spirit and
in the letter Washington will be safe.
If these regulations are disregarded
if the streets are used as speedways,
if the rights of pedestrians are ig-
nored. accidents will continue. with
resultant deaths and disablements and
destruction of property. 1t is up to
the motorists and drivers to keep them
selves from harm and to make the

Germany and Peace Terms.

According to the plan the German
delegates or representatives are to be
received at Versailles next Friday for
the purpose of reading the proposed
treaty of peace 1t is the understand
ing that these representatives will be
required to sign the treaty on behalf
of Germany. There may be discus
sion, but it will not lead to change in
the terms of the instrument. The
council of four at Paris has notified
Germany that the associated powers
cannot receive representatives at Yer
sa,illes who are merely messengers, but
that the German government must vest
its delegates with plenipotentiary
powers.
It is reported from Stockholm that
at discussion in Berlin last week it
was affirmed that if the delegation at
Versailles found that it would not be
allowed to discuss the peace terms it
would be instructed to take the text
back to Berlin to be submitted to the
national assembly or a direct vote of
the people by a referendum. If this
course is insisted upon. conflict is
assured. Such procedure would not
meet the allied requirement of pleni
potentiary delegation.
In the final analysis the peace terms
must be dictated to Germany, not ne
gotiated. The armistice terms were
dictated and subsequent changes were
made without discussion. If the Ger
man national assembly or the German
people by referendum are to vote upon
the acceptance or rejection, much of
the moral effect of dictated peace
will be lost.
OF course, it makes but little differ
ence in practical way whether the
peace terms drawn at Paris are ac-
cepted in their entirety at Versailles
or at Berlin. 1t does matter, however,
considerably in point of effect. The
Paris peace conference has been in
session for many weeks, framing with
difficulty treaty which is in effect
statement of terms to be imposed upon
beaten enemy. Germany has not
been admitted to the council. To per-
nit discussion, with any possibility of
change, or to shift the scene of ac-
ceptance from Versailles to Germany
would weaken the value of the peace
treaty as symbol of Germany's COM
plete defeat and subjugation to the
terms of the victors.
There is no need to fear final re-
fusal by Germany to sign the treaty.
There will be, of course, much bluster
in Berlin and probably at Versailles.
But in the end, and, if time limit is
set, within that period, Germany's rep
resentatives will accept and sign, for
there is nothing else to do.

The New Traffic Rules.

New traffic regulations promulgated
month ago 60 into effect here to-
morrow, and it is important that all
motorists and drivers in the District
should take heed of the changes in
the rules. The most important of these
is that affecting the right of way at
street intersections. Under the old
rule vehicles moving north and south
have precedence over those moving
east and west. Under the new rules
the vehicle on the right hand at any
crossing approach has precedence of
the vehicle on the left hand-that is
to say, a driver who finds a vehicle
in position to make the crossing on
his right hand must check and give
way to the other car or wagon. This
is . simple rule, easily remembered,
easily observed. A person need watch

measures and procedure. The initia-

measures and procedure. The initia-
tive is with them.
The democrats likewise must stand
together and watch the corners. They
cannot afford divisions. They must be
more than n-lookers-more than ear
pers at the majOritys course. They
must have policies of their own. and
offer them as substitutes for the ma
jority's policies. At any rate, they
must indicate in their objections to
the majority's policies what their poll
cies would be if they were the ma
jority.
We may expect the President to take
hand when this work begins. He is
accustomed to keeping an eye on Capt.
tol Hill, and using his influence there
in the matter of legislation. This has
not only been expected but requested.
For six years his party in Congress has
often invited him to umpire the game
and settle disputes. He has become
quite familiar with the role. and, as
some believe. fond of it. And now,
more than ever. the role, because Of
the close vote in the Senate and the
necessity for careful balancing, will
be very attractive.
The Senate leadership on both sides
is in trained and highly competent
hands. Both Mr.. Martin and Mr.
Lodge are veteran legislators, and have
learned their trade in the Senate. Per
sonal friends. but always political an
tagonists, they know each others
curves" and are well aware of how
much is at stake at present. The great
prize-full control of the government
which will be contested for next
year. will be plainly in view, and both
are likely to keep it in mind in all
they do in their official capacities be-
tween now and November, 1920.

Divided Political Control.

Saturday night the New York legis-
lature closed session that had lasted
nearly three months. The story pos
sesses features of interest for those
specializing about a situation soon to
develop in this town.
The governor of the state was a
democrat. The legislature was repub-
Lean in both branches. There was a
good deal of business to be transacted.
Both parties stood upon party grounds.
How would the governor and the leg
islature manage! How many compro-
mises would be necessary! How
many would be made. What would
be the effect of the general result on
public sentiment! The resnlt is to
hand. The effect on public. sentiment
is, of course, yet to be determined.
Of 3,0l9 measures introduced, only
5SS passed. The governor sent in 13
vetoes. There was a jam at the close,
which caused the failure of many bills.
Taxes were increased to meet the high
cost of the states support.
Upon the whole, the governor and
the legislature hit it of very we'll to-
gether. Each made concessions. There
were frequent conferences, the gov
ernor listening with respect to the re-
publican leaders Of the legislature, and
they in turn to him. 1t was apparent
at the outset that the announced pro-
gram of neither side could be put
through.
Concessions were facilitated by the
fact that the governor had had a con-
siderable experience as legislator.
He could appreciate the LAY" of the
legislative land"
When Congress assemblies We shall
witness a like division of authority and
responsibility. The law-making body
will be republican in both branches.
The executive will be democrat. We
shall see a card crowded with business.

If anything is to be done beyond
debate and wrangling. agreements of
some kind must be reached. The re-
publicans will not have votes enough
to pass anything over a presidential
veto.
The situation is such as will call for
both diplomacy and party skill in the
management The mandate received
by the republicans last November is
very clear On some points; and it is
the latest mandate the people have is
sued Opposed, stands the President,
still committed to democratic policies,
and the most prominent man in his
party in the speculation about the
democratic presidential nomination
