One thing that should be taken into

Poles Blame Lithuania
for the Resumption of
H0StiIitieS at Border

PARIS. September ga d;spatch
from Warsaw dated Thursday, saws that
Notwithstanding the decision of the
league of nations council in the dispute
between the Lithuanians and the Poles,
the Lithuanians are continuing hostili-
ties.
1t is asserted that the Kovno authori-
ties are allowing bolshevik troops from
East Prussia to cross Lithuanian ter
ritory and that, up to the present. So
600 of them have passed through and
are reinforcing the red army Among
them were 1000 German Spartacans.
The reds continue the use of the viii
na-Grodno railway, and in the face of
such violation of neutrality the Polish
government has advised the Lithuanian
government and the league of nations
that it will be obliged to take the
necessary steps to defend the country
until the commission appointed by the
league to maintain neutrality begins it's
functions.
The Polish government. says the mes
sage, has sent the league of nations a
note declaring that at the Kalwarya
conference, where peace negotiations
were being conducted, the Poles had pre-
sented the Lithuanians with propositions
''n accordance with the decisions of the
leagues council"

FOR CAUSE
OF ROAD HUMPS
Maj. Besson Making Tests to
Determine Source of
Asphalt Defects.

Tests to determine why some as
phalt streets in Washington crack
and develop humps" on the surface
were begun today by Maj. F. S. Bes-
son, assistant engineer commissioner
in charge of roadways. Although
many highway engineers contend that
these defects are aggravated by the
use of concrete or rigid base, Maj.
Besson said he disagrecs with that
theory.
tss.'I contend" said Msj.. Resspp,. that
the rigid or concrete base Is better
than a macadam or flexible base. and
that the amount of cracking or hump
ing which develops on the. surface is
due to the asphalt mixture Of which
the surface is made" s.e4z.- s
samples Taken From streets.
To make the tests the engineer de-
partment cut samples from several
streets where the cracks and humps
are noticeable. One sample, which
presents striking illustration of Mai.
lessons theory, was taken from East
Executive avenue.
Two small pieces of asphalt were
cut from the roadway at points about
two feet apart. One piece was found
to be about an inch thick, while the
ether was nearly four inches thick.
The rigid base was found to be in
good condition. This difference in the
thickness of the surface apparently
was caused by the steady flow of
traffic in one direction on that side
of the street, causing the asphalt to
work" upward in the direction taken
by the vehicles.
When Executive avenue was paved
the practice of laying a binder of
stones between the concrete base and
the asphalt had not been instituted.
Makes Further Investigation.
: So, to find out whether it is the
asphalt or the binder that works up
ward, Maj. Besson had a sample cut
from another street where a binder
was used. This sample. which is sew
eral feet long, shows an acute hump"
at one end, caused by the flow of
traffic in that direction. The engineer
department will saw the asphalt sur
face off of this sample to see If it
was the binder or the asphalt top
which "wrinkled."
Maj. Besson said that, in his opin-
ion, the amount of humping" which
occurs on the streets hinges largely
on the question of whether the as
phalt top has been properly mixed.
He said he believes the District is
now mixing the asphalt topping in
such proportions as to reduce the
humping" of the street to mimi
mum.

The feeling is growing among some

block is the military situation, with
the Pilsudski faction at Warsaw re-
ported as insisting upon the Barano-
