School on Friday night at sunbury,
and will also meet Susquehanna Uni
versity in a return game on their
home floor at Selinsgrove on Satur-

played here, but Susquehanna Uni
versity had the best of the local

End Traffic Violations and
Heavy Fines MIGHT Do It

To the Editor of The Star:
We are glad to see the articles in
The Evening Star concerning the
traffic conditions in Washington
These daily-occurring accidents are
not credit to our great city and
National Capital, and are to be de-
plored, of course; more so because it
is our National Capital. But this
situation. more or less, is apparent in
every city which reaches the rank and
size of Washington.
Since Adam there have been two
sides to every problem-"cause and
effect" This we have in the traffic
accidents Also we have two sides tn
the "cause"-that of the pedestrian
and that of the motorist or driver
The pedestrian has right of way ON

count the times you will be forced

And il a pedestrian won't keep to the

SENTIMENT IN SENATE
FOR VOTING $24O BONUS
Impression Grows That House
Amendment Will Be Agreed
To at an Early Date.

The impression gained ground today
at the Capitol that the Senate will
agree to the s240 bonus which the
House has provided for government
employees and those of the District of
Columbia in the legislative, executive
and Judicial appropriation bill. The
bill viii be taken up at an early
date by a subcommittee of the Sem
ate appropriations committee, of
chairman.
1. While Senator Martin would not exs;
press an opinion. today, as to what
Will be- donetby the Senate in regard
to the bonus, which is just twice as
large as the bonus allowed for the
present fiscal year, he said.
Il would rather support this in
crease for the underpaid government
clerks than vote for the increase in
salaries passed by the Senate for the
federal judges on Saturday"
Senator Martin has taken the
position in the past that this was a
poor time in increase salaries.
Senator Smoot of Utah, member
of the subcommittee in charge of the
bill, said that he had not yet given
the matter his attention. He said.
however, that he believed many en-
ioyes in the permanent government
departments are underpaid and should
have salary increase.
The opinion of members of the sub
committee in charge of the District
bill is that the District employees
will be treated as are the employees OF
the federal departments here, and that
If the $240 bonus is granted the Dis
trict employees will share in it.

j. S. AND D. c. TO PAY .
FOR WATER CONSUMED

The Senate appropriation committee
in charge of the District appropria
ton bill today practically decided 10
make all consumers of water in the
District of Columbia pay at current
rates for the water consumed. Under
such a provision the federal govern
ment and the District government will
have to pay for water 1t is claimed
that millions of gallons of water are
wasted every year through the failure
of federal and District governments
to conserve the water supply. The
subcommittee feels that not only will
a saving in water be brought about
il the various departments have to
pay for it. but that the increased
revenue will be sufficient to make
needed extension of the mains and
plants here.
The subcommittee. as previously
indicated. will submit an amendment
providing that hereafter the District
government itself shall collect the
ashes in Washington.

Few Violations Yesterday.
Ideal weather conditions yesterday
resulted in a large percentage of the
pleasure cars of Washington, many
of which have been in their garages
for several Sundays by reason OF bad
weather, being operated on the ave-
nues, streets and roadways of the
District. Particularly was this true
in the afternoon and early evening.
The police say that with but few
exceptions the rules of the road were
strictly observed, especially as to
two of the classes of violators of traf-
fic regulations mostly in evidence at
all times. the speeder and the OPERA
tor who fails to observe the regula-
tion requiring all machines to stop
fifteen feet from street car loading
and unloading passengers. These Of
tenders were notable by their absence
from the list of arrests made for traf-

May Offer Only a Basis.

While much Importance is attributed
TO placing the labor question forward
prominently and to making an effort
toward recommendation of uniform
treatment. nevertheless the question as
to what each country shall do as to
the hours of labor. protection of women
and children in industries will unques
tionably be in the nature of an inter
national code on moral standards, rather
than binding agreements. These find
ings will very likely, however, be the
basis for action by labor organizations
in each country.
While the American delegation has
been silent as to it's attitude it has been
said here that 1t would accrue to the
advantage of the American merchant
marine II the European countries adopt
hitherto under the La Toilette act made
it difficult for the American enterprise
to compete with European cheaper
labor on the seas.
Asserts Confusion Exists.
A man who ought to know says:
Some confusion has arisen as to the
connection between the various labor
programs submitted to the peace con-
ference and the socialist conference
especially the international confer
ence scheduled at Bern. 1t should be
pointed out, however. the labor plans
discussed contemplate only the spe-
ciflc labor problems, which may be
confined to remedial humanitarian
legislation without regard to existing
social and economic order. Social con-
ferences will include these problems
and we lock forward toward the So
c4a1king of the states"
President Wilson seems satisfied to-
day with his conference last night
with Lord Cecil. Gen. SHUTS and M.
Bourgeois about the league of ma
tions. 1t would not be surprising to
see the fundamentals laid before the
next open session of the peace con-
ference as the tendency has been
closer and closer toward agreement.

MIR. President: My colleagues and
myself thank you for having been so
good as to accept our invitation and
to give US some hours of your time,
which we know to be devoted to the
high meditat tions and the important
negotiations upon which the fate of
the peoples depends. From your first
steps OH the land of France and since
your entry into Paris the French peo-
pie has spontaneously given their
hearts to you and they perceived at
once in your frank smile and in your
SO loyal and open physiognomy that
you, too, were spontaneously giving
yourself to them,

League idea Praised,

ou are today in an old palace of
France and it is among these grand
reminders of the past times that with
thoughts rejuvenated by republican
ardor. yet with patriotism. that the
French senate shapes a history which
welcome here, Mr.. President, you and
splendid ambition to substitute for
the periodically broken equilibrium
of material forces the definite award
of moral forces elicit more enthus
iasm than in France and nowhere
more than in the senate since the
statute of international peace has
been first of all and for a long time
prepared by some of its most emf
nent members.
Our national problem consists,
therefore, in combining our European
past and our actual material secur
ity with the conditions of the new
order for which you have given SO
noble q formula, because this new
order will ever have to lean on some
force for which France will. when
all is told, stand the most advanced
and exposed sentinel. We firmly be-
lieve with you. Mr.. President, and al
low me to add, sincere and great
friend, that new worlI order. and
pSxhaIs q w0rh harmony, are pes
SaSdS tn which our French country will
at last be liberated from the nightmare
of .invasion--our ~ country for which
nearly 100000 men OF France have
Just given their lives.

to have won five seats, the centrist
party five seats, the German national
list party one seat and the German
democratic party three seats. The

226,S11.
jority socialists cast 34.S87 votes, the
centrists. 14,570; the nationalists. SS3,
and the German democrats, 24.S03.
The grand duke of Hesse had him
self inscribed on the lists under his
old title, showing. says the Berlin
Lckal Anzeiger. that Louis of Bra
bant, as he is called by the present
government, does not recognize his
deposition.
For the purposes of yesterdays cleo
tion Germany was divided into thirty
eight districts, which, theoretically.
would elect 433 representatives to the
national assembly.
in Alsace-Lorraine the number was
reduced by twelve from this cause, and
it was still further reduced by the fact
that as Posen is occupied by Polish
troops elections there were impossible.
The total number of electors is given
in round numbers as 100000 men
and 21.000,000 women. Each party
was privileged to nominate in each dis
trict as many candidates as there were
deputies to be elected.
