London, Aug. 10.--Fears that there
would be war with Russia receded in the
city today, and the feeling on the stock
exchange was more confident. Hesita-
ton In the making of fresh commit
ments continued and trading in securi-
ties remained light.
The oils were mixed. with adjustment
OF accounts in progress. Shell Transport
and Trading was 3-16 and Mexican
Eagle, 10 9-16. Steadness was noted In
the gilt-edged section. While Russian
descriptions were maintained, French
loans displayed weakness.
Home rails were most stable, but
Canadians were irregular. The shares
of Argentine roads received quiet sup
port.
Industrials lacked steadiness, Hud-

GOOD SWIMMERS
BEING DEVELOPED
Echoes From Annual Y. vi. c. 4.
Camp Are of Most INTEREST
ing Nature

The Y. VI. C. A. camp at Camp
Daniel Boone is the scene of much
enjoyment these days upon the part
Of the many youngsters who are en-
loying life there. Many are being
taught TO swim and by the letters
written home, some Of them are so
busy viii outdoor life there that they
have little time to spend writing. The
various camps along the river are be-
ing largely attended by young men,
bers of the "Y" from various cities
and towns, and proving great recre-
action resorts. It is said the general
attendance this year is much greater
than ever before. The security as
sured by guards and instructors has
resulted, it is believed, in the increas-
ed attendance. There have been no
accidents thus far reported from any
Of the camps, except where boys have
been 50 interested in thier work and
play that they become unmindful of
time and have missed a meal or two.
However, this all goes to show that
they are not worrying about books
or trouble, that their minds are free.
and many of them, just out of school,

are thoroughly enjoying the recreation
to the fullest extent The art Of
swimming, which is valuable one
and the cause of many lives being
saved, is one Of the chief features of
the outing instruction, and this is
taught thoroughly and safely by OK
peiienced instructors to all who desire
to learn it. More boys who are not
located conveniently to river or
stream where they would naturally
have the opportunity have been
taught swimming, since the action of
the camp managers has made this
speciality, than ever before, and it is
difficult now to find boy Of IL who
is not able TO swim. SONG Of them dis
play unusual ability, and promise
great things in the way of records. A
good swimmer is life saver, perhaps
not his own, but that of another.

ABIDE
BY YRENTBOARD
Many Landlords Acknowledge
Jurisdiction, Although Legal
Uncertainty Prevails.

Not all Washington landlords are
profitoers, according TO a review OF
the work OF the District rent commits
sion, announced this morning, which
shows that since the courts have de-
clared the Ball rent act unconstitu-
tional, stripping the commission OF
any legal authority for the time be-
ing, that the comcission has still as
sumed q role of arbiter.
These records show that one-third,
or more than 200 Of the cases disposed
Of before the commission were settled
without determinations, indicating
that the parties at Issue were satis-
ned to settle their differences with
the commission acting as third
party.
Such cases were settled in sort Of
I verbal Agreement procedure with.
out the necessity Of the commission
resorting to an enforcing determine
tion. Landlords and tenants at vari-
anceu about rents have been coming
before the commission and expressed
their willingness to abide by a fair
minded opinion Of the commissioners
As to the rental which should be
paid.
In such instances, 1t was declared
today, both tenant and landlord are
willing to meet halfway" The
landlord having a moro expensive
upkeep Of his property because of
advanced prices, and he tenant
realizing that a slight increase in
rental 10 warranted under present
conditions, the commission usually
strikes a mean between the opinions
Of the landlord and tenant which Is
frequently acceptable.
Such a settlement Of cases was de-
clared this morning to be an indica-
ton Of the good intentions of many
Washington landlords. 1t was fur
thor pointed to as showing that al
though the courts have dealt the
commission. nevertheless continues to
be Of inestimable service as a peace
maker" in rent and possession dis
putes.
It 10 held that the moral effect OF
the commissions existence Is being
telt everywhere.

FACTORYWORKERS
HERE TREBLED
| SINCE 1914

Washington has 81, 900 persons
employed in manufacturing
plants, more than treble the total
in 1914. and the total capitaliza-
tion OF manufacturing indus
tries, estimated in excess OF $780,
900, 900. has more than doubled
In that period.
These estimates, compiled by
Eugene F. Hartley. chief statis-
tician of manufactures, U. s.
Census Bureau, dispel the idea
that the National Capital has no
claim to being a manufacturing
center.
The output OF these plants
has trebled to keep pace with
demand.
In 1914 there were 1923 per-
sons employed In plants here
and the wages totalcd SS,805.-
6e3. That ngure has been treb-
led, Hartley estimates. In 1917.
there were 625 manufacturing
plants in the District OF Colum-
bia: now there are more than
600.
The increase In the past four
years will be shown to be far
above any other Increase in any
other census period. Hartley be-
lieves. because OF the great in
crease in building operations

SAY HACKERS
Union Chauffeurs' Leader

THE Federal and Terminal taxicab
companies seem to have monopoly
In Washington" said Mr.. Sterne.
"Chauffeurs employed by these compa-
nies seem to be exempt from arrest.
while hundreds OF other chauffenrs are
frequently subjected to arrest and
threats of the revocation OF their
licenses for some minor offense. All
the union asks 10 a square deal. IL
the Police Department Is to enforce
to the letter every regulation, 1t
should do so without fear or favor.
Conditions have become such. because
OF the persecution. that mapy chauf-
feurs are compelled to give up their
hacking business"
The protesting chauffeurs will hold
mass meeting on July at their
headquarters, 719 Sixth street north
west. when United States Senator
France, of Maryland, Is expected to
address them and hear discussions OF
the determinations to which Mr..
Sterne says they have been subjected.
George Ashton, representing Daniel

ing. 1t is expected the chauffeurs

which would be forwarded TO the Dis
trict Commissioners and members OF
