the work Of the American Joint Dis
tribution Committee which has es,
tablished branch in Constantinople
whose task within the last months has
been q heavy one. Owing to the large
influx Of Jewish refugees, especially
from the Ukraine, a very serious sit
uation has been created, a situation
in which the Near East Relief has
sought to help the Jewish organiza-
ton as much as possible. For, the
problem is most distressing one,
and Of unusual difficulty to cope with.
Many Of the refugees came to Con-
stantinople hoping that they would be
able to emigrate thence either to Pal
estine, whittier the "Chaluzim" or
pioneers are bound, or to the United
States and to South America. When
they arrived in Constantinople, how
ever, they discovered that their Rus
sian money was practically worthless,
and in many cases, they at once be-
came charges on the Jewish organiza-
ton.
1t was in such instances that the
Near East Relief was enabled to work
with and to serve the Jewish refugees
through the medium of the Joint Dis
tribution Committee. It was found
that the funds which the Jewish work.
ers had at their disposal were entirely
inadequate to meet the needs Of the
many applicants for help, and the
Near East Relief contributed the sum
Of one thousand dollars for each Of the
three months, January, February ana
March. In addition TO this work
the Near East Relief helped supper,

tablished by the Jews at Balatt, as

NEW PARKING PLAN TO
BE GIVEN A TRY-OUT

Parking suggestions as advanced
by the Business Mems association
were put into execution this morning
when loop streets were painted TO
conform with plans agreed upon by
the merchants and presented to the
city council as a means of curing
traffic congestion.
Stripes running to the curbs at an
angle of thirty degrees have been
painted on the bricks to show auto
lists how to face their cars in toward
the sidewalks. The work of placing
the markers was done during the
early hours this morning. By the
time business opened in the loop dis
trict most of the painting had been
completed.
The authors of the parking system
claim it will help materially in pre-
venting traffic jams, which, during
busy hours, make the business dis.
trict akin to impossible. When pre-
sented to the council for adoption
there were some objections raised
against the proposal and during sub
sequent weeks no attempt was made
to test out the scheme to prove its
efficacy.

SHUTS HAND SEEN
SOUTH AFRICAN PREMIER TAKES
LEAD IN BRINGING ABOUT
ANOTHER CONFERENCE OF
NORTH AND SOUTH LEADERS
TO sTRAlGHTEN OUT TANGLE.

London, July 20.-Thc probability of
meeting in Belfast between Eamonn
de Valera and Sir James Craig, the
Ulster premier is forshadowed in
some political quarters and several
newspapers this morning.
General j. G. Smuts. premier of
South Africa, who reentered the hego.
tlations yesterday doubtless is largely
responsible for this and similar opti-
mlstic speculation which has survived
under great difficulty since Monday
when the Ulster premier departed sud
denly for Belfast, making a forceful
statement on the subject of self de-
termination as it applied to Ulster
This seemed for a time to end all
hom for an amiable meeting between
the two Irish leaders but the moderat-
ing influence of General Smuts coup
led with Belfast dispatches to the ef.
feet that Sir James does not regard
the peace parleys as interrupted have
gone long ways towards restabish-
ing confidence. Mr.. de Valera now
is reported willing to go to Belfast
and meet Sir James after he has dis
cussed with his Dublin followers Ger.
tain proposals which it is understood
Premier Lloyd George will submit to
him Thursday, The British cabinet
today will give special consideration /
to the Irish question and it is believed /
that the aforementioned proposals .
will be discussed at great length and /
that they are likely to receive the ap- ,
proyal of the entire ministry
The meeting between Eamonu de |
Valera and Premier Lloyd George to-
morrow will probably be their last be-
fore the return of the South Ireland
delegates to Dublin. Following their
return to Ireland a meeting of the
Irish republican parliament will in all
likelihood be convened to give the re-
publican l~Sder an opportunity to re-
port and ta\e fresh counsel on the
new compilations which the Downing
street parleys may have placed upon
the old questions and to formulate a
policy respecting such issues as may
have originated during these talks.
One point on which Mr.. de Valera
will be urged by his colleagues to
make representations to Mr.. Lloyd
George before the return Of the South
Ireland delegation to London from
Dublin will be what the republican
leaders and advisers regard as the I'M
favorable background created by the
British premiers maintenance of the
two nation idea" by meeting Mr. de

session of Congress for next Monday to
consider Panama's attitude toward the
