AGREEMENT ON TRUCKS
District Commercial Vehicles May
Use Virginia Roads and
Vice Versa.

Virginia and the District of Column
bia hereafter will reciprocate in the
use of their respective roadways by
commercial automobiles. it was de-
cided today at a board meeting of
District Commissioners.
This means that the District tag
on commercial trucks or delivery au-
tomobiles will be honored on Vir-
ginia roads. The same applies to COM
mercial vehicles from Virginia on
d. c. streets.
The arrangement places all classes
of automobiles in the reciprocatory
status. Heretofore Washingtonians
have not been required to procure a
Virginia tag to motor in passenger
cars over the roads of the Old Do
minion, and Virginians have been
able to travel the streets of this city
with only the Virginia tag showing.

Upton Not Discouraged;
Still Has Confidence in
Shamrock and Crew

ON BOARD STEAM YACHT VIC
TORIA. July 24.-The loss Of two
yacht races in succession, with the
commanding lead of being within one
race of lifting the cup. has not dis
couraged Sir Thomas Upton. owner
of the challenging craft. Neither has
he lost confidence in his boat. or the
men who man her, and the conclusion
of yesterdays race saw him optimls-
tic of the final result.
OF the winner. Sir Thomas said:
"Resolute is a wonderful boat in all
points of sailing. The crew is very
good class of men, very smart: eff
cient and certainly we'll trained"
Of his own boat and her men, he
said: Il am positive that my crew has
done the very best it could under the
exaeting circumstances. You know
my boat had but little training. We
only sailed three trials"
OF the officials of the regatta COM
mittee and of all who had in hand the
policing of the course and the man
agement of the race he had only the
highest praise. He said he had raced
many times; in ENGLAND, Germany.
Never" he added. have I seen a
course kept as clear and free as at
Sandy Hook. Nowhere in the world
could it be improved upon. In Eng
land they might do as well. but not
better. In America have always had
been any mistakes they have been in
my favor"
Asked If in the event that today's
race goes against him he would re-
challenge, Sir Thomas replied it would
first be necessary to consult with the
Royal Ulster Yacht Club. He init
mated. however that he had such a
thought in mind.
At a conference with reporters fol-
lowing the race Lord Dewar. who is
one of Sir Thomas guests, Joined his
host in a tribute to American fairness
and sportsmanship.
There is another thing" Lord
Dewar added-"the sporting instinct
of the American lady. That she
would get up at o'clock in the morn
ing day after day and travel down
here for the inconvenience of being
tossed about in the swell aboard the
boats is wonderful 1t is more than
! can say about the English ladies.
They would not do it. The loyalty of
American women to contests of sport
arouses my establishment"

Polish Premier Meets
Jews, Who DiscIaim
Acts of BOISheviSm

LONDON. July % (Jewish Telegraphic
Agency).-At a conference between the
Polish premier and representative Jews
the latter made number of suggestions
as to the basis on which the Jews of Po-
land could be expected to offer the gov
eminent their entire cooperation. ac-
cording to a dispatch from Warsaw to-
day
The Jewish leaders impressed the pre-
mier with the necessity of stopping cir
culars regularly issued by the autheri-
ties in which the Jews are accused of
bolshevism. They also urged that meas
ures should be taken to prevent further
raids upon the Jewish quarter; that the
press should be forced to stop carrying
on anti-Semitic campaigns, and that the
state council of the war Office should
issue friendly appeal inviting Jewish
cooperation.
In reply, the premier declared he
fully realized how necessary it was that
anti Semitism in Poland should cease,
and; assured the Jewish representatives
that all their proposals would be given
the fullest consideration. At the same
time he suggested that the Jewish par
ties should combine in common appeal
to the Jewish people to come to Polands
aid in this hour of great need.
