PARIS, June 13.-ConSld ldeT2Oie COm-

Grated regions. over methods OF nnAnc-
Ing reconstruction work
Several cities. including Verdun.
Rheems and Arras. have been unable to
hoat the lonas which parliament author
ized them to issue for reconstruction
because the ministry Of finance holds
that the money market ought to be
kept free for national loans. M
Loucher. on the other hand. insists
that the special municipal loans
would have the effect Of greatly ia
cilitating the financing OF the entire
work in the devastated areas through
the development Of local interest
One of these city loans. that issued
by Albert. in the Somme, proved
great success. The DEGREES authorizing
the others are said to have been held
up by the ministry Of finance.
The crisis was expected to be reached
at one of last weeks cabinet meet
ings. but n. Doumer was i'll and did
not attend. and no clash developed
Loucheur succeeding n. Doumer as
head Of the ministry of finance. is
being forecast in some apparently
well informed circles as the probable
solution of the difficulty. The exist

PROTEST HIGHER FARES.
800 Church Members to Boycott
Washington-V Virginia Railway.
i.1 Ddsnatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ALEXANDRIA, Va. June 13.-Rev.
DR.. D. H Martin pastor of Trinity M.
E. Church, in a sermon last night at
that church. in discussing the increase
in fare granted on the Washington
Virginia railway. proposed that his
parishioners discontinue patronizing
the cars of that line because of the
increase, and the. members present.
numbering about 300. pledged unani-
mously to comply with the suggestion.
Dr. Martin said: THE boycott is an
extreme measure. but sometimes 1t is
advisable, necessary and justifiable, as
well as effective. If the decision Of
the Interstate Commerce Commission
authoring the increase in fares on the
Washington-Virgini railroad lines
goes into effect as proposed, the COM
muters should seek other means Of
transportation"
Dr.. Martin urged the people to petit
tion Congress to investigate the de-
cision of the Interstate Commerce
Commission to determine the reason
why the decision was made in favor Of
the railroad company. He also de-
clared that If the railroad cannot op-
crate on its present rates 1T should go
out of business. for the people are not
able to pay higher rates. and nobody
would ask or expect the railroad to op-
crate at a loss.

"rhe United States authorities may
take the view that Admiral Sims, as
an officer of the American Navy. has
gone beyond his province in publicly
touching on such matters outside his
own country. In fact, it is difficult to

laid himself open to special criticism.
