CHEERF ILLNESS Of
BRITISH AMAZES
LONDON VISITORS
Americans Watch and Marvel
at the Manner in Which
British Met Emergencies
During the Railway Strike,

London. Nov. 9 (by the Associated
Press) ).-Cheerfulness was shown by
London's harassed millions during the
great railway strike Americans
watched and marveled. They saw the
mass of traffic surging through the
narrow Strand, flush to the curbs
with what seemed to be as inextric-
able confusion of every kind Of We
hlcle. ranging from mammoth steam
lorries, belching black, acrid smoke
from their FURNISHED copper stacks,
to bicycles and "scooters," and OBJ
served the sidewalks thronged with
brisk, smiling pedestrians unable to
get lift on the packed buses.
Occasionally a fine automobile
would pause and pick up a humble,
footsore workman trudging home
from his job. The sight of a plumber
in fustian, lounging comfortably in a
splendid limousine and smoking a
battered pipe by the side of the owner
led those Americans to think that the
millennium had come. "The new
brotherhood Of the war remarked
thoughtful New Yorker.
This sense of comradeship and SYM
! pathy with the suffering was every
where revealed. London revived the
spirit of the trenches. "See it

Girls Walk to Work
A better excuse for lodging office
duties never presented itself, but
those that took advantage of it were
surprisingly few. One heard on all
sides stories of girl clerks living in
the suburbs who day after day walked
six or eight miles to and from their
work.
In the outlying districts where ON
nibuses and tramcars have their start
ing point, lines of people formed as
soon as it was daylight. The queues
extended, six deep, for a quarter of
mile, and the patient walters con-
sidered themselves lucky If they had
to stand only an hour or so. Except
at the starting place, 1t was almost
hopeless to attempt to board q bus
or tram.
There was instant response to the
appeal made by the automobile asso-
citation to ca owners and drivers to
give pedestrians a lift. Most cars
with empty places stopped to pick up
women workers. SidecarS groaned
with four passengers and the back
step of many of the old-fashioned
bicycles resurrected for the emer-
gency carried a balancing man or girl
Throughout London the tangle of
traffic was amazing. 1t Toared as
never before in the streets of the
city" But the point" policemen
kept their heads, as did the drivers
and riders, and the casualty list was
uncommonly small.
London, with its extraordinary
knack of adapting itself to new con-
ditions. rose to the occasion of the
greatest strike in the country's his

DISTRICT BOSSES
BEGIN SESSIONS

The House District Of Columbia
Committee held its first meeting this
morning. organized, and got down to
business.
Two bills were unanimously report
ed, and two others will be considered
as a special order Of business some
time next week.
The first bill favorably reported
was one prohibiting the purchase.
sale, or having for sale of quail and
several wild game birds. Congress
man Graham Of Illinois appeared be-
fore the committee for the bill, stat
ing the District is the only commu-
nifty in the country that permits the
open sale Of quail and other birds
mentioned in the bill.
As the situation now stands, these
birds may be killed in Maryland and
Virginia, where it is illegal, and then
brought into the District and sold.
Congressman Frederick n. Zihlmsn
OF Maryland, got the committee NJ
animously to approve of his bill,
which would authorize the Secretary
Of War to name a committee OF five
to make a survey Of the available
water supplies in the vicinity of the
District Of Columbia and report as to
the most feasible plan for augmenting
or recognizing the present water
supply.
Congressman Ben Johnson, OF
Kentucky, calle dup his bill to re-
peal the charter Of Washington
Market House Company and char
acterized the matter as a Legislative
scandal"
The present rental. according to
Mr.. Johnson is six-tenths OF one per
cent of il svalue.
The bill will be made a special
order Of business at a hearing to be
called some time before the next
regular meeting OF the committee
Chairman Mapecs also asked that
the committee give consideration to a
bill for a retirement fund for teachers
in the District public schools.

invited to be present or have their

The District Committee will hold
sts regular meetings during the Sixty

ASKS PHONE RATES
HELDFOR PRESENT

Congress swas asked today by N.
C. Kingsbury. vice president of the
Bell system. to continue the present
phone rates until there had been
complete reimbursement OF existing
phone conditions.
Appearing before the Senate In
terstate Commerce Committee at the
first Of the open hearings on wire
control that committee is to hold
before recommending the restora-
ton of the country's telephones and
telegraphs to private ownership.
Ringsbury urged that Congress
correct the blunder it made in
leaving in doubt the rate-making
power under Government control"
To return phone rates suddenly to
their former basis would result in
further serious financial loss to the
phone companies, Kingsbury added.
He estimated that the companies had
already sustained a loss Of $9,623,-
Az from August /, 1910 to Nay l,
1919, on account Of wage increases
having virtually wiped out rate re-
ceipts.
Kingsbury estimated the earnings
of the Bell system in the last four
years as follows: 1915, S66, 100000;
1916, $75,OOO,O 1917. $72,OOo,0Oo,
and 1918 SIS, 100000.
He favored the rate-making power
being vested in the Interstate Com
merce Commission rather than in
forty-four different State commits
sions, whose conflicting powers re-
suited in great confusion in the
making of interstate and intra
state rates"

When the big four could make no
progress Premier Orlando conferred
with President Wilson alone, then
consulted members of the Italian dele
cation.
PIebIBcite Il Proposed.
It was reported a plebiscite to de-
eide the fate Of eastern Istria had
been proposed. The Italians, it was
stated, indicated a willingness to
make some concessions. The fact that
the allies are in disagreement over
hour, however, will not interfere with
presentation of the treaty tomorrow,
il was pointed out.
II the Italian claims are still in
dispute when time comes for inform
ing the Austrians of the terms, sec
tions referring to the Adriatic will be
withheld and made known after set
Element is reached.
German Reply Received.
The big Four" today received two
copies OF the German counter pro-
posals to the peace treaty and imme-
diately began considering them.
Experts upon the interallied COM
mission were called in and work upon
the allied reply was begun at once.
The reply will be handed to Germany
very shortly, and is expected to con-
tain material notifications of the
terms Of peace as originally drafted.
When the treaty is again handed to
the Germans they will be told that the
door to negotiations is closed until
they accept the terms in principle and
agree to sign. It is understood that
they will be allowed only a very brief
time limit in which to reply, possibly
not more than twenty-foUr hours.
Delegates Incensed.
The allied peace delegates are very
much incensed at the fresh display
Of discourtesy by the Germans in pub
fishing the text of the counter pro-
posaIs and sending it broadcast be-
fore its delivery today.
In discussing this action, delegates
recalled the fact that Count Won
Brockdorff-Rantzau did not rise to
his feet in addressing the allied dele
gates at the first meeting at Yer
sailles, and other little acts Of ap-
parent studied disceurtesy.
