ONE ISSUE LEFT
OVER TACNA-AR|CA
Alternative to PIebiscite Still
Remains to Be
Settled.
By the Associated Press.


The Chilean-Peruvian dispute over
Tacna-Arica has been narrowed today
to a single issue. but at the same time
had developed another unexpected de-
lay to straighten out a misconstruc-
ton of the compromise plan suggested
by Secretary Hughes.
The sole point remaining in the way
of an agreement related to the method
of settlement to be adopted in case the
arbitration already agreed upon IN
principle should result in decision
against the holding of plebisclte IN
the disputed province.
By the Chileans it was held that
Chile and Peru should in that event
settle the question of Tacna-Arican
sovereignty by direct negotiation.
Such a procedure. they insisted. ac-
corded with the correct Interpretation
of Mr. Hughes compromise formula
and with the customs and principles
of international law.
Among the Peruvians opinion ap-
reared to incline toward a second ar
bitration in place of direct negotia-
tions, although a final decision as to
the position of the Peruvian govern
ment was awaited from Lima. The
previous understanding of the delega-
ton was that such a plan was en-
braced IN the Hughes formula, but after
another conference with the Secretary
yesterday a long cablegram was sent
to Lima restating the proposition and
asking for advice. AS accepted in
principle by Chile the compromise
plan is understood to make no refer
ence to second arbitration. but Peru S
similar acceptance is said to have been
qualified by reservation upon the
question of procedure in case no
plebiscite is held.

has been registered as yet The sani-
tation of the parks and their picnic
groves is essentially the same as the
sanitation of Army camps. All are
familiar with the improvements in
the health and the diminution in
death and disease rates in the Army
directly attributed to camp SANTA

Bile is used by FIVE or six different
groups of people in one day. The i'm
portance then of maintaining a scru-
pulous cleanliness of the surround
ings is apparent"
Mai Baker, in his report to Col.
Sheriff., calls attention to the fact
that "one citizen is reported as say
ing that the officials lack a human in
terest, and think more CT the grounds
and the trees than of those who use
the parks" and another is quoted as
saying. Millions of dollars have been
collected from the people that they
might have open park spaces to use
freely and that an adequate cleaning
force should be maintained to clean
up after their picnfcs."
p Careless Littertne OF Grounds.
In this connection Col. Sheriff. to-
day stated:
No matter how many employees are
engaged on the work of cleaning up
the parks, nor how much money is
spent on this work, 1T will still be i'm
possible to have them clean and at
tractive unless the people using them
refrain from throwing garbage and
litter around, because under any rea-
sonably economical system Of clean
ing, the park would still, for a large
portion of each day. be Uttered up
during the rounds of the cleaning
force. 1t is simpler, much cheaper
and much more satisfactory for those
using the parks to refrain from litter
ing them in the first place, as an OBJ
legation every one owes to those who
follow in the same place.
"The experience of last Sunday in
dicates. however" the letter goes on.
'that practically no one wilfully vio-
lates the regulations against throw
ing litter around and are willing to
cooperate with the efforts of the
police, when II is called to their at
tention. The extent of this litter care
lessly thrown down is indicated by
the fact that on last sunday morning
the cleaning force In Rock Creek
Park hauled away seventeen truck
loads Of litter and garbage thrown
down by those using the park the
preceding Saturday afternoon"

BELFAST, June 2s.-Six lorry loads
Of free state military. fully armed,

regular troops in Dublin. Five of the
soldiers refused to go. according to a

They were promptly arrested.

stranded on trains from the north on

of the happenings in Dublin.
Armed free state troops attempted
today to dislodge an armed party

garrison consented to withdraw.

more strict discipline which It has
been necessary to enforce during the
past year"
Investigation, he pointed out. had
shown conclusively that the majority
of the guests were perfectly satisfied
with the hotels and the service. and
also adds that he had found that
many of those who had signed the
petition had done SO under niisap-
prehension, and had informed the
department that it was one of many
with which they had been annoyed"
Warns OF Outcome.
Then he warns of the possible out
come, If complaints are continued, in
the following language:
IF the government hotels are to
be run on a strictly commercial basis.
as is intimated that they should be.
the first necessity must be a radical
increase in the prices charged. These
prices and the salaries paid, as you
know, are not arbitrarily set by the
general manager. She has, I am in
formed. when consulted upon matters
of price fixing, shown a sympathy for
the low-salaried government workers.
This has been reflected in the monthly
rate. which does not take into con-
sideration the enormous cost of con-
struction paid by the United States
and for which there is no provision
for interest or amortization.
II ii is desired that the Govern
ment Hotels be run on a commercial
basis, the government should be re-
imbursed for all expenditures and
interest charges. together with taxes.
which would be required from a COM
mercial corporation If the guests
unanimously request it, the secretary
will be glad to consider such a
change. with the necessary revision of
the scale OF prices.
Should Have Co-Operation.
1T is quite clear to my mind that if
the hotels were placed upon a true COM
mercial basis. there would be no tolera-
ton of the constant stirring up Of trou-
BILE by factious elements among the
guests. The Commercial Hotel estab-
fishes a standard OF service, and if it
is unsatisfactory, the alternative re-
mains for the guest to seek housing else
where. The management of the govern
ment hotels is operating them at the
lowest possible cost and with the most
efficient service possible 1t should have
the cooperation Sof the guests rather
than be hampered by ill-considered and
petty fault finding.
You must appreciate that the con-
tinued criticism of the hotel man
agement and the fault-finding spirit
exhibited in the petition submitted
imperils the continuance of the whole
Government Hotels project. There is
strong and constantly growing
feeling that the government is not
at this time called upon to maintain
for its employees the housing service
found necessary during the war. This
sentiment is constantly gaining
strength. and the spirit exhibited in
your petition is doing more than
anything else to foster it. 1t is clear
that the continuance of this course
will more than anything else,
tend to bring the government hotel
enterprise to an end. 1t might be
well for the guests of the hotels to
consider this phase of the situatio
seriously in their attitude toward
the management"
