Arterial Highways.

| Fast arteriai highways for the Dis
trict to relieve traffic congestion are
| suggested - the Commissioners by
the Washington Motor Club, the local
branch of the National Motorists AS
sociation. The plan would make 10th
| street, Massachusetts avenue, Penn.
sylvania avenue, and possibly others,
boulevard" streets in that they
would have the right of way over
these boulevards is also suggested in
the recommendations.
F, Two advantages are claimed for the
plan, which is said to have operated
| with much success in other cities;
| first, that the main arteries can han
\ die more traffic, and second. that an
incentive will be furnished for traffic
to use these arteries. In other words,
| if a motorist wishes to get up or down
| town quickly he would use one of
these streets, for example 10th, where
| he would probably be stopped only
once-at Massachusetts, avenue-on his
! way. The same thing would apply to
| a motorist using Massachusetts, ave-
nue.; he could have right of way and
increased speed until he came to one
| of the lateral cross highways, such as
10th street.
| The scheme is still, of course, in
the tentative stage, but there seems
| to be no insurmountable obstacle to
be overcome. A regulation would have
to be adopted that all cross-street
! traffic must come to dead stop be-
| fore attempting to negotiate any Of
the fast traffic highways. Traffic po-
licemen would be required at all cross
| lateral streets. They would also be
| needed at certain intervals along the
| way for the benefit of pedestrians and
motorists attempting to cross fast
highways.
Sixteenth street and Massachusetts,
avenue, two proposed arterial streets,
would present at their intersection the
! greatest problem to be solved in the
operation of this scheme. At least two,
and possibly four or five, policemen
would be required at this point to han
die traffic satisfactorily at rush hours
of the day and night.
This seems to be the main obstacle
to all new traffic plans in Washington
There are not enough policemen to
handle properly the traffic in whatever
way it is directed. The successful
operation Of all through fast streets
in other cities depends entirely on
strict enforcement. On Broad street,
Philadelphia, and 5th avenue, New
York, where signal lights control traf-
nc automatically for blocks at a
stretch, a policeman is stationed at
every cross street.
Due to the small personnel here,
and the failure Of Congress to increase
appropriations, any plan involving
the use of large number of police
men is sure to fail. Fortunately, the
proposed plan does not contemplate
using a great many officers, although
small detail will be necessary to
handle the traffic.
1t is hoped that the Commissioners
and the traffic authorities will study
the plan carefully. In it's present
stage it presents many problems which
will have to be worked out, but it un-
doubtedly has merit. Any scheme
which will even partially solve traffic
evils here should at least have the
benefit of thorough investigation.

BY THE MARaUIsE DE FoNTENoY.

Ex-Premier Lloyd Georges presence
just now in this western hemisphere
is calculated to arouse a remarkable
interest In his new book which has
just made its appearance in London
and New York, and which, dealing
with the aftermath Of the great war
in which he played SO notable a role,
has naturally led to much discussion,
both OF a friendly and of a hostile
a quotation from the Book of Kings
'Is it, Peace?'' a question which was
addressed to Jehu, son, of Jehosaphat
The author quotes only q portion Of
the verse Of the Book of Kings testa-

the query given to King Joram's en-
hast thou to do with peace? Turn

While British statesmen, both in
and out of office. have delivered pub
lie addresses in this country, the
Earl of Birkenhead Is the first digni-
tary of the .eminence of former
lord high chancellor of the realm and
keeper of the great seal, which Is the
chief instrument of the sovereignty
of the British crown, to contract with
q New York manager for paid lee
ture tour throughout the United
States. The late Sir George Reid was
an unbounded success in America
when he visited this continent in his
capacity as prime minister of Aus
tralia. But when, after leaving office,
of his enthusiastic American welcome
to return to the United States as a
paid lecturer, he proved a most dis
heartening failure, in spite of his
genial personality and his keen sense
OF humor and his brilliant wit. :
Sir George, like so many English
men who devote the best years of
their lives to the service Of the nation,
had left Office tn somewhat straiteaed
circumstances. He was far from rich,
and had been led to believe that he
would be able,to make a considerable
sum of money for his old age by
means of a lecture tour in America.
But the venture proved so disappeint-
ing that he abandoned his tour before
Il was half over and returned, with
impaired health, to England to die
not long afterward.' The American
public made, In his case, a marked
distinction between the British public

by an unselfsh desire to render some
public service, and the paid lecturer
who appears on the platform in order
to replenish bis own purse.
It will be interesting to watch the
success OF Lord Birkenhead's.. lectur-
ing enterprise. 1t Is no secret that
he needs money AS a former lord
