WILL ABANDONPART
|OF |NTERURBANL|NE
w. R. & &. to End Service
Between East Riverdaie and
East Berwyn May I.

Service between East Riverdale and
East Berwyn. Md. Will be abandoned
by the Washington Interurban Rail
road Company on May 1.
This was announced today by the
Washington Railway and Electric
Company. which controls the inter
urban road. This stretch of track. ap-
plsoximately two miles in length, will
be left idle with the approval of the
Maryland public service commission.
Thes commission approved the appli-
cation of the Washington Railway
and Electric to make East Riverdale
the endNof the Bladensburg road line
on the ctNupany's showing that opera
ating EXPENSES from that point to
East BerwN'n exceed the revenue de-
rived.
The comm ission however. denied
the companyAs request to remove the
tracks from Vast Riverdale out, ex-
pressing the hope that il may be
possible to res Ame operation Of that
part of the line later.
Resideuts,> Disapprove.
Residents of th:a part OF Maryland
appeared at the hNarinG granted by
the Maryland comyl nission and OPP
posed abandonment OF the two miles
of track in question.
In its decision the Maryland com
mission takes issue VAIN the policy
OF the District Public Utilities Com
mission in refusing To consider. in
fixing the rate Of fare. t..l1tc carried
or expenses incurred in Maryland.
On this subject the Maryland COM
mission states:
"On the other hand. testimony was
introduced TO the effect that tAe Public
Utilities Commission OF the DIN trict Of
Columbia has falpt, f-on N Slder3-
ton heretofore in fixing rates tyr the
Washington Railway and E.ectric~t onl-
pany and the Washington InterTvN ban
Railroad Company. sraf,ic arried orN eN-
penses incurred outside the District.
Nearly all the patrons Of the MARY
land part of the Washington lnterurbaa a
Railroad Company's line are employeA
of the federal government or other perl
sons having economic or professional in
terests in Washington.
Congestion Caused Action.
Congestion and dearth of housing
facilities in that city or preference for
suburban over city life caused them to
move across the boundary line into
Maryland.
Their interests. social and eco
nomic, remained unaffected. differing
in no way from those of residents in
suburban developments in the Dts
trict Of Columbia.
This basic similarity of situation.
particularly as regards the need for
transportation facilities to Washing
ton. was not altered by the interven-
ton of a line of political severance.
Recognition of this fact by the Pub
lie Utilities Commission Of the Dis
trict will insure the continued opera
ton in Maryland of the lines of the
applicant and other roads similarly
circumstanced. and the commission
hopes and believes that such recogni
ton will be accorded. as only thus
will normal suburban development in
the vicinity of Washington be pro-
noted"

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, April 23.-In its editorial
this morning on the American gov
ernment's reply to the German note
requesting mediation on the repara-
tions question the London Times says
the reply was what might have been
expected. 1t observes that President
Harding declines altogether to ar
bitrate or mediate.
He could not, indeed. well offer
to undertake either task after he
had just adopted the attitude toward
European entanglements taken in his
recent message to Congress-. says
the newspaper.
Abiding to the general distrust
of Germany's calculations of repara- =
tions, to which rr. SimonS referred in
his speech, the Times says:
Those cynical Americans. with
their long and intimate knowledge of
the wiles of fraudulent bankrupts on
Il grand scale are suggesting. it will
be seen. that the appeal in itself Is
virtual admission that Germany's
capacity is a variable factor. depend
ing on whether the President or the
allies fix the amount of her debt
Only Reply Possible.
Like the Times. the Daily News
says the American reply was the only
one that could possibly have been
made to Germany.
1t would be inconceivable." the
Daily News adds. that a third party
should Intervene, even if it desired to
do so. except on "a simultaneous in
vitation by both disputants, and the
German proposal speaks i'll for the
political judgment of Fehrenbach and
Simons.'
This newspaper, which has been
strongly combating what it has
termed Frances warlike plans. con-
tinues that the American reply
sounds note to which the pre-
miers at Lympne cannot close their
ears"
what America wants." the Daily
News adds. ..is an immediate resump-
tion of negotiations and the formula
ton by Germany of proposals such
as President Harding himself might
be willing to commend to the allies.
1t would be singular diplomacy on
the part of the allies. who have the
best reasons for not running counter
to Washington's views to meet the
suggestion with prompt occupation
of the Ruhr."
German Hope Forelorn.
The Daily Chronicle says:
"In view of the hopes. freely ex-
pressed in Berlin that America might
be induced to take a line adverse to
her wartime associates. the timely
significance of the reply scarcely
needs to be unlined.'
Germany was a forlOrn hope the
Daily Mails editorial says. There
never was any doubt that the United
States would see through all the
trckery of the boches.'
Closer association in postwar prob
lens between the United Sta1es and
the allied nations is foreseen by the
Liverpool Post in the exchange of
notes between Washington and Ber-
lin. The newspaper says:
"Mr. Harding's reply to Germany is
regarded here as sign that the
United States government is ready
to abandon its altitude of aDofness
to Europen affairs"
The Yorkshire Post of Leeds says
the last sentence of the American re-
ply to Germany arouses the feeling
that the new American adn1inistra-
tion may be trying to open gently
the door for a return to the allied
council. and this impression is
by the hint received a
few days ago that under certain cir
cumstanccs the United States might
send an observer to the next. meeting
Of the supreme council"

Not Room Enough For
All New York To Go
]. Swimming AT Once

New York, Aug. 6.-The sizzling
summer of 1921 has made all New
York want to go a-swimming-but
there isn't-roem enough for all to
swim. +
On week ends it's a strong man who
can battle into bath houses at nearby
beaches and even if there were more
bath houses, it's hard to imagine how
many more thousands could gain
foothold on the crowded sands.
So. from city hall down, everyone
Is trying to locate new swimming
holes-and a twentieth century swim
ming hole in Americas largest city is
a costly proposition. Mayor Hylan
has urged construction of a swimming
pool in Central park and it has Deer
suggested that an unneeded reservoir
be converted to the uses Of a perspir-
Ing citizenry, but at present it's all
talk, and talk is wen more heating.
Meanwhile special shower baths
have been built in tenement districts,
street cleaners Nhosing the heated
the asking, and in the smaller parks
dotting the city the police aren't quite
so Jealous IN driving amphibious
street urchins out of the fountains.
The worlds largest swimming 200
has been opened in. Madison Square
Garden. dock-diving along the Hud-
son, Harlem and East rivers is as
popular rs ever, and now and then a
ne!ghborhood produces something
UNIQUE in the way of a bathing tub.

Greenwich village station house have
built a wooden pool for the neighbor,
hood youngsters, and artists and poets

Juvenile Officer Finds High
School Morals at
Low Ebb.

Fargo, ". D., Aug. SIT Is no ex-
traordinary thing to see girls and
boys around the age Of 16 or ~ par
aiding the streets of our cities in a
state Of partial inebriation." declared
Judge A. B. Guptill, juvenile COM
ing the tendency to delinquency IN
the part of boys and girls.
The situation said Judge Cup
till, lis rather appalling. The stew
party is a. common occurrence in
many a roomtng house. There was
a time when motion pictures were at
fractions to the youth Of Fargo in
particular but today, the 'movtis'
seem to be rather GU of date, per-
haps because there is not a sufficient
thrill in them. What is now demand
ed is something in the spectacular
order,
Judge Guptill, who has been juyen-
lie commissioner in this district for
close onto eight years, said that the
experience his court is having with
tendency to delinquency on the part
Of age indicates a lack OF moral re-
sponsibility in family government. He
said it is rather more noticeable now
than for some months past.
Family Government Lax.
'In many cases." said Judge Cup
till, mothers do not know where
their daughters are at night, mi
perhaps would not be able to control
their activities If they did know, and
the SAM tendencies which have re-
suited n~-sentencing Of several young
men of this district to Bismarck are
apparently just as rife today as If the
number of examples, were constantly
before the eyes OF the youth of the
city and the vicinity, tending to prove
that the way of the transgressor js
hard"
Judge Guptill said that set over
against these conditions ia the en-
couraging feature that the number
of good men and women who are
sensing the existing conditions and
who feel called. upon to take direct
and personal interest In their better
ment, is daily increasing.
The court cited the example of a
number Of boys Of about IA ear Of
age who recently broke into a freight
car on a Fargo railroad. The car was
loaded with watermelons, consigned
to a Fargo fruit house.
MOT content with taking two or
| three or a half dozen melons to eat
said Judge Guptill, they looted the
car of some 60 melons, and yet the
boys and their parents failed to APP
preciate the fact that this is a penir,
Tertiary ~ofense. and if charged with
the crime, the boys would have been
accused of a felony"

ANOTHER FEATURE
TO BE ADDED TO
MEMORIAL DAY

Shanghai Aug. CAS- a part Of fu-
ture observances of Memorial Day by
Americans in China, annual pilgrim
ages are to be made to the grave OF
Gen. Frederick Ward. the American
who while the Civil wal was being
fought in America conceived and put
into execution the plans which sup"
pressed the great Taiping rebellion.
The custom was instituted this Year
by he Shanghai branch of he Amer
lean Legion, the General Frederick
val post.
1t was when The TAPPING rebellion,
persons were killed, was"at its height
that Ii Hung Chang, foremos,
Chinese Of that day, recruited the SER
vices Of Frederick Ward, than q
youthful American whose exploits as
first officer on a Chinese gunboat had
brought him into notice. He was a
natives of Salem, Mass.
Under a commission Of the Chinese
government Ward organized what aft
EDWARDS came to be called by the
Chinese the Ever Victorious Army
City after city was taken from the
Taipings by this army, which grew
from a ragged n%ondescript force Of .
hundred to 10000.
On II morning OF sept. ~. 1867,
when General Ward was directing an
attack on the town of Tsz XII, he was
mortally wounded. His troops captur-
ed the town but their leader passed
away that night. He is buried in
Sungkiang.
The respect and the confidence that
the Chinese had felt for General Ward
in life they demonstrated by the hon
ors they paid him after his death and
by the monument they erected to. his
memory at Sungkiang. Here in the
ornate language Of old Cathay they
have thus immortalized him:
"A wonderful hero from beyond the
seas,
The fame Of whose deserving loyalty
encircles the world,
Has poured out his azure blood upon
the soil of China.
A happy seat among the clouds and
temples lasting for a thousand
springs.
Commemorate his faithful heart"
