BRITAIN TOPAY
DEBTSQUICKLY
First Plans to Wipe Out
Foreign Indebtedness;
Then National.
Washington HcraId-PubIic Ledger
Service, Special Cable Dispatch.)

Brussels, Sept. 27.-Great Britain
has placed before the Financial
Conference a statement of her finan-
cial situation in the text of which
she declared she is going to devote
all the budget surplus to the re-
payment of her foreign and floating
debt with the purpose of eliminat-
ing the foreign debt at the earliest
possible moment and by the re-
payment of the floating debt to
consolidate the national debt to a
long term form of amortization
which she hopes to effect gradually
year by year out of her revenues.
This statement is of particular in
terest to America, to whom Great
Britain owes some $4,000. 100000.
The chancellor of the excheQuer de-
clared his intention, according to
the statement, of providing a mini
mum sinking fund to pay off the
whole national deebt in about nifty
years. But pending the re-estab-
lishment of normal conditions,
Great Britain is planning even
larger provisions for the reduC-
ton of her deebt. 1t is estimated
that during the year ending March
81. 1921. more than E1OO. 100000 will
be repaid, leaving about f134, 100000
out of the revenue for the reduc-
tion of England's internal debt.

ter. Even he will hesitate-if we
can conceive him to be President
to affront one of the principal allied
powers, entirely friendly to the
United States. by such a preposter-
Gus step. But this promise of Mr..
Cox is "a good enough Morgan till
after the election" to propitiate the
Irish Sim Fein vote.
Harding's attitude on the other
hand, in respect to the Irish ques-
tion, is that Of one who appreciates
the solemn duties of a President in
dealing with other nations, and his
sacred obligation not TO offend a
friendly neighbor by meddling in
that neighbor's Domestic business
without excuse. Senator Harding
truly says that there is widespread
sympathy among the American peo-
pie in the cause of Irish autonomy,
but that official action on the sub
ject by the President is quite an
other thing; that the Irish question
is not for official America, and that
under the provisions OF the league
OF nations IL is a domestic question
and not within the Jurisdiction of
the league. He thus makes all to
know that he will not, as Presi-
dent. NEEDLE in Great Britain's
domestic affairs, as he would prop
erly resent Great Britain's meddling
in ours. Cox is constantly asserting
that Harding never gives definite
answers. He is hard to satisfy.

WOODEN SHIPS
AGAIN ON SALE
Board to Open New Bids on
War Time Vessels Oc-
tober 7.
CPubIic Ledger Servfce.)

The United States Shipping Board
announced yesterday another at
tempt to sell the war emergency
wooden ship fleet.
Many of these ships are in proc
ess Of being gathered in the James
River, where the cost of their up
keep has been reduced. The board
is seeking to get rid of 2S5 OF
them by October Z, when bids will
be opened.
Admiral william S. Benson. chair
man of the board, authorized an
explanation of the change in the
sales procedure" inaugurated to sell
between $500, 1000, 900 and s3Oo.OOO, 900
worth of surplus material. 1t was
explained that hereafter the board
would not seek to dispose of this
material piecemeal, but in large
quantities.
The sales policy of the board now
in operation is essentially contrary
to that successfully employed by the
War Department in disposing of s2,-
10000 worth of surplus material left
over from the war. The war De-
partment realized SIS cents on the
dollar by its methods. The Navy
Department has considered dispos-
ing of its $500, 100000 surplus ma
terial in much the same manner.

Statistics Prove
Herald Has Made
D. G.. Streets Safer

Police department statistics on
automobile accidents for the past
four weeks are evidence that
The Washington Herald's care
ful-auto-driving contests have
been instrumental in forcing a
decrease in accidents amounting
to more than 300 per cent.
During the week beginning
August %. when the first con
test was launched. eighteen &C
cidents, varying in degrees Of
seriousness. were reported to the
police.
Last week. the fourth of The
Herald's contests, only five acci-
1ents were reported.
Twelve accidents occurred in
each of the two weeks, inter-
vening between the time when
the contests made their first ap-
pearance and last week.
Local police officials readily
concede the notable falling off
of accidents to the instincts Of
care awakened in Washington
automobilists through the unique
safety plan of The Washington

Baltimore News Copies Plan
Of Herald, and Inaugurates
Careful Auto-Driuing Contest

Success Of the careful-auto -driv-
ing contests originated by The
Washington Herald and adopted
last week by The Baltimore News
was reported by executives of the
Baltimore paper last night.
Newspapermen Of the Maryland
city. noting the pronounced results
which have been achieved by The
Herald in its plan to decrease au-
tomobile accidents, took up the idea
last week. Baltimoreans quickly
fell in with the novel plan and sup
ported it enthusiastically.
Specialize on Women.
The News conducted its contest in
conjunction with the appearance of
The Girl in the Limousine" at a
Baltimore theater. Women motor
lists particularly were asked to par
ticipate. 1t will be remembered
that The Washington Herald used
this Identical method with the same
show when it was presented here
two weeks ago.
Arrangements made by The News
with the Baltimore police depart
ment's traffic squad differed but
slightly from those which The Her
aid has made with the local traffic
authorities during the past four
weeks.
Contest Ended Saturday.
The contest ended last Sunday,
when the names of the fifty careful
and lucky car owners appeared in
The News. The following clipping
from The News explains the meth
DDS used in it's contest. A marked
similarity to The Herald's plan will
be noted:
Watch the ladies in the auto
mobiles."
IF the downtown section is
filled today with fair drivers, there
is a It ason. They all want to get
on that honor roll of careful women
day by the police department and
The N0ws, and which will continue
until Saturday night.
And in order that the women
will be rewarded. The News has
arranged with the Auditorium The
ater to present fifty passes, each
of which is good for two persons,
to the fifty women who will be
adjudged the best pilots of auto
mobiles in traffic, with the thought
o! due regard for others besides
the drivers themselves.
"A Two-foId Purpose.
When the traffic men went out
this morning. Lieut.. Lastner gave
them a talk on the educational
value of the innovation. The con-
test, he said. had been organized
for a twO-fold purpose: to honor
the women motorists who are try
ing to make the streets Of Balti-
more safe for travel. and to show
automObilists inclined to be care
less that compliance with traffic
regulations, in the final analysis.
is the safest and cheapest method
of running an automobile"
The most striking difference from
The Herald's plan is in that The
News told beforehand who the
traffic officers were, who would take
the license numbers of the fifty
careful motorists, and where the
officers would be stationed.
The News said last night that
the contest would not be resumed
this week. Consideration is being
given the matter. however, because
of its unqualified success.

part:

very high-class mental and physical
examination. and he must be brave
