BRITISH SEE ADVANCE.
General Impression in Newspapers
Is Favorable.

BY the Assoca ted Press
LONDON. June S.-The new German
reparations memorandum has created
a generally favorable impression in
the London newspapers. most of
which regard il as a distinct advance
over any previous proposal. The sug-
gestion of a conference at which Ger
many would be represented meets
with the approval of a majority of
the commentators.
Considerable doubt is expressed,
however. as to whether France can
be brought into line with the other
allies. some of the. editorial writer's
believing that she will reject the new
proposal as fatty as she rejected the
last.
The Morning Post expects the French
will reject the proposal for an inter-
national body to fix Germany'S capacity
to pay AS to guarantees, the news
paper believes French acceptance Will
depend to a great extent upon the ac-
tion taken by the United States and
Great Britain on the question of the
interallied debts. In this connection
the Post says:
Again we see how vitality interested
the United States is in the European
problems, and how impossible 1t is, in
the long run, for any creditor nation
to pursue a policy of isolation"
There is strong press support for the
conference idea.

ORDER INSPECTION
Of ALL WHARVES
Commissioners Act to Pre-
vent Repetition of Crash
in Which 7 Were Hurt.

Thorough inspection of all wharves
and landing places along the George
town and Anacostia river fronts was
ordered by the Commissioners today
as q result of the collapse of wharf
at the foot of saith street Tuesday
afternoon. in which seven persons
were injured.
The Shrine water pageant was in
progress when the accident occurred
Fortunately all those who fell into
the water were rescued.
The city heads took action toda y
upon recommendation of Roland NJ
Brennan. chairman of the wharf com
mittee of the engineer department
In his report to Acting Engineer
Commissioner Besson Mr.. Brennan
said:
The act of Congress approved
March 2. 1899. relative to the control
of wharf property. states that the
commissioners are authorized and
empowered to make all needful rules
and regulations for the government
and control of all wharves. piers
bulkheads and structures thereon
Perhaps this refers only to wharf
property belonging to the United
States or to the District of Columbia
and even If this be true, il is believed
that any dangerous structures of this
character although in private owner
ship, should be made safe"
The order of the Commissioners di-
rects the building inspectors office
and the police department to make
the investigation jointly, and requires
owners to take whatever steps may
be found necessary to put all wharves
in safe condition.
The wharf collapse was one of the
few accidents that happened during
the Shrine convention.

Haynes Is Ast0nished.
Federal Commissioner Haynes and
his prohibition enforcement staff
frankly contemplated Shrine week
with misgivings. Though they had
schemed for weeks in advance to dry
up all possible sources of liquor sup
ply. they feared the worst when a
couple of hundred thousand good
fellows" got together for merrymak-

asreeably astonished. The finest
tribute to prohibition since the Vol
stead act became operative" is his
summary of Shrine week. He be
lieves the results achieved will be of
epoch making influence on the whole
prohibition enforcement movement.
