Garbage And Trash Being
Removed Under New
Plan
ENCOUNTER DELAY
Drivers Find Householders Fail to
Comply With Law Requiring Gar
bage and Ashes to be Placed in
Cans in Alley or in Front Of
House.

The new system for collecting
garbage and ashes was launched today
by the city manager. This morning
was given over to the collection OF
garbage. Seven horses and carts
are engaged in the task in addition
to the former horses and carts tha,
have engaged in the work. The work
is under the direction of Supt. Hay
wood Durrer.
Considerable of the time of the
drivers was consumed in going into
yards and getting the garbage. The
city manager desires that all persons
having alleys place the garbage in
a can outside of the gate OF those not
having alleys place the metallic recep
tacle in front of their houses on the
curb line.
Just as soon as this is accomplish
ed it will greatly facilitate the work
and result in speedy and satlsfac-
tory service to the householders and
it is the purpose Of the city authorl-
ties hereafter to see that this law
is complied with, otherwise the gar
bage and ashes will not be removed.
Outside of the foregoing delay the
service is said to be working very sat
isfactory and the city manager ex-
pressed satisfaction over the results
accomplished by the new force up to
noon today.
AS heretofore stated, it is the pur-
pose of the city manager to keep the
old horses and carts moving this week
in order to effect a general clean up
of the city.

VOLSTEAD IS
AGAINST MORE
DRASTIC LAW
Opposes Plan of Upshaw to
Enact More Exacting
Legislation
WOULD HURT DRYs
Author of Prohibition Law Would Not
Have Buyer OF Whiskey Equally as
Guilty as Vendor of Same.

Washington, Jan. S-A warning to
overzealous dry legislation that pro-
hibition enforcement may be Grip
pied by the enactment of some of the
drastic legislation recently proposed
in Congress was issued today by Rep
Volstead, Mimi, father of the pres
ent enforcement act.
Volstead, although an ardent dry
as ever, looks with distinct disfavor
on the efforts Of other prohibitionists
to make the law that bears his name
more drastic. The prohibition leader,
denying that he has any pride of au-
thorship in his law and for that
reason is opposed TO its amendment,
warned that some of the changes pro-
posed by other drys would make boot
Logging easier.
He announced his opposition to the
plan of Rep. Upshaw, Ga, who after
charging that government officials
were violating the prohibition law,
introduced a bill to make the pur-
chasers of illicit liquor equally guilty
with the bootlegger.
"The prohibition laws" said Vol
stead, "were purposely framed TO ex-
empt purchasers of liquor so the
states and the federal government
could get witnesses.
"If the purchaser were held equal
ly guilty we could not force him to
testify against himself and in many
instances officials might thus be un-
able to get evidence to convict the
bootleggers they arrest"
Upshaw tried to get around Vol
stcad's objection by granting immun-
ity to any purchaser who would turn
states evidence, but the latter Is OF
the opinion that this would only COM
plicate the situation.
Upshaw said he inended to push
his bill vigorously, declaring 1T is
time to apply the fine old American
doctrine of equal rights for all ana
special privileges to nome
He said he had been assured thac
tomorrow he would be given an OPP
portunity to reply to the demand OF
Rep. HILL. Md, that he furnish proof
of the charges about drinking in high
places.
81 do not now plan to give names,
said Upshaw "but can't say what
I'll do If they push me-"
Hill said he would be on the floor
when Upshaw speaks to renew his
demand that the southerner produce
evidence to back up his charges.

Dangerous Spot For
Motorists Needs Action

Considerable camplaint is made by
motorists that the wooden railing on
the west side of the AleXandria-Wash
ington pike just opposite the poor
house is down and has been down for
the past three weeks. Motorists point
to the fact that this is a dangerous
spot and the fencing at this point
should be renewed without delay by
the authorities of Arlington county,
as some serious accident may occur al
this point, especially to visiting mo
torists not familiar with the road

Advance on Essen, First
City to be Taken if
Necessary
PROCEED Cautiously
Actual Invasion is not Yet Begun
American Soldiers Dislike Thought
Of Having 10 Leave Banks Of
Rhine.

Voblenz, Jan. S-French troops
were on the march today along the
Rhine.
Engineers and a detachment of
railway workers have gone to Essen,
first city to be seized as France takes
steps to enforce reparations pay
mcnts.
Two regiments, one Of artillery, one
of infantry, have been ordered for
ward from Epinal.
Troops are quietly concentrating
at Dusseldorf in small detachments.
Fast tanks and armored cars will
form the advance guard, it is report
ed when actual invasion Of the Rhure
starts.
All that was needed to put in mo-
tion the horizon blue machinery OF
war which France has drilled and
kept so long throughout the Rhine
land was word from Paris that the
reparations commission had finally
found Germany in default.
Infantry, it was believed, then
would be rushed to Essen to support
the engineers and railway detach-
ments and from that center French
troops would spread through the
Ruhr Valley.
For all this businesslike attitude
and the pulse of war drums along the
Rhine border, it was believed France
would proceed cautiously and that ac-
tual invasion cannot yet be said to
have begun. France wants to learn
more about Americas intention re-
garding her troops, and about. what
Britain is going to do next, before
taking irrevocable action.
One thousand picked American
doughboys ard 100 officers stationed
here want to stay.
The French troops in the vicinity
were ordered to remain in quarters
to prevent clashes with inhabitants
of the occupied region, and the dough
bows had to do double duty. But with
pay running over three million marks
year and pride in their partlci-
patton in the latest European war
game, the Americans are keen for
staving on. Pessimisits in the ranks
figure they'll be homeward bound IN
q month. however. Both French and
Germans want the Yanks here. The
Eroncb feel with FOch that as long
as there is one American soldier on
the Rhine it gives a semblance OF
American participation; the Germans
feel the U. S. troops acts as SAFETY
valve TO prevent the French from
overruning the Rhineland with fresh
aggression.
Up and down the Rhineland's oc'
cupied zones. things had martial ap-
pearance. Trains were choked with
poilus hurrying back from leave. Ar
tillery was in motion to throw the
streets of occupied town and on the
highways. Airplanes at the hangars
were tuning up, soldiers on patroi
duty wore their FURNISHED blue TIN
hats" there was new snap IN the
military maneuvers that had become
boresome routine over long period
of peaceful occupation. -, =,
f Everywhere was evidence that II
the French go into the Ruhr, they
will do so with rush, with all the
acoutrements of war, tanks, armoreG
cars. airplanes, seventy-fivest hght
field pieces and engineering coup
ment will be pushed into the valleys
of the Ruhr along with the first IN
fantry troops.
