European relations of the United
States is proving very embarrassing
to diplomats here, and they are ex-

SO tenaciously and mistakenly 10 MS

difficult.
Friction is already arising over ms
insistence that a number OF outstano-
ING questions be Immediately settled,
though Europe prefers to await the
new President, who will have charge
of the execution of any agreements
which may be reached. 1t frankly is
not sure that an agreement which
Wilson may make will appeal to the
incoming administration. and douots

Three Pulling Problems.
The problems which are just now

for immediate settlement, are:

as regarding Mesopotamia, affecting

The report of the public buildings

man, shows that the commission has
through it's activities. saved to the
government a total of more than
$487.496.28 in rentals in the District
of Columbia
This had been accomplished by
moving government bureaus and
commissions from rented buildings
into quarters owned by the govern
ment.
In regard to temporary buildings
erected by the government in this
city during the war the report said:
There are now in this city fifteen
Temporary non-fireproof buildings
which were built by the government
during the war. This does not in

LIMIT ON WEIGHT
OF MOTORS URGED
Heavy Vehicles Cut Roads to
Pieces, Highway Of
ficialS Told.

Limitation of the size and weight
of motor vehicles that are allowed to
use public roads was advocated by
speakers today before the American
Association of State Highway officials,
holding their sixth annual convention
at the Washington Hotel.
If manufacturers are allowed to put
out heavy machines that will cut to
pieces in a few weeks the highways
now being built and maintained at q
cost of $40e,000,O0O year, said c. J..
Connecticut, the general public Will
be prevented from getting value re-
ceived for it's expenditures. He sug-
gested that the highways be classified,
those being constructed to Withstand
heavy traffic loads being in class 1,
and those that act as feeders to the
larger highways and reach into the
less thickiy populated communities be-
ing in class 2. with limit placed on the
size of vehicles that could use them.
A. r. Hirst, state highway commits
sioner for Wisconsin, also suggested
that the size of trucks be limited to
that which would save the highways
ther said that in the spring the limit
should be smaller than at other times
of the year, because the roads were
always weaker at that time.
This afternoon the officials are Wis
iting the governments experimental
farm at Arlington, where road tests
are being made by the bureau of pub
lie roads of the Department of Agri-
culture. The method by which these
tests are made and the results so far
shown were explained to the associa-
ton this morning by A T. Goidbeck,
testing engineer for the bureau.
Coincident with the meeting of the
association today the executive COM
mittee OF the organization, headed by
George P. Coleman, chairman. ap-
peared before the Senate good roads
committee to ask for Immediate leg
isIation to continue federal aid for
road building.
