End Insults.
BY international News Service.

NEW YORK, July 25.-"Shoot

the flag it flies, which dares fire
upon the American emblem.
Capt. Byron L. Reed, commander
of the United States Coast Guard,
in charge of hunting rum runners

Coast Guard cutter Seminole last
night.
Capt. James Ahearn, of the Semi
mole, told the story Of the threat

reported. while cruising in the
vicinity Of the fleet one of our
launches saw a motor boat laying
alongside the British schooner

motor boat and seized it. We
heard the command on board issued
to get guns and fire upon us. Not
wishing to cause international COM
plications, we put on full speed"

Chevy Chase section in the district

member of the association said to.
day:
Chevy Chase is, primarially, a
residential section. It has been con.
slstently developed along that line.
Anything tending to thwart the plan
Will prove prejudicial to the interest
or every property owner.
our first effort has been to build
up here a section made delightful by
the character of the homes owned
by occupants--a home community
where the sentiments going to 10
build the best citizenship will thrive.
and any modification, such as would
result from the erection of numerous
apartment houses, does not conform
with the idea back Of the plan.
This is not an indictment of
apartment house residents. but
lnsistency that the private home is
superior standard for those who
can obtain them
Apartments in Chevy Chase
could only be rented by persons
amply able to own, or occupy,
homes, in my opinion, and | base
that on information given me rela.
tive to prospective rentals when

1ects have been discussed"

R STR|CT|ONS
IN CHEVY CHASE
UPHELD
Limiting of Stores and Barring
Apartments Gratifies
Residents.

Exclusive Chevy Chase, with its
high ideals of American living
standards, and it's insistency that
"home life, in owned homes,
makes for the best citizenship"
it was learned today, feels conf
dent that it has won its fight to
preserve it's standards, and that
in the future there is little to
fear from the intrusion of apart
ment houses in its section "oper-
ated for revenue only"
Limit on Stores.
This opinion Is based on the &C.
ton taken by the Chevy Chase
Citizens Association in it's petition
filed with the Zoning Commission
seeking to have Chevy Chase in.
cluded in the restricted sections
from which apartment house erec.
ton is barred.
The amendment made by the
commission of the coming reguIa.
tons, which has received the en-.
dorsement of the association. also
prohibits the conversion of any
building used for residential pur.
poses into an apartment house. If
the association is successful in its
efforts to secure the inclusion of
Chevy Chase in the prohibited or
restricted zone" the possibility of
apartment houses being built in the
section will go glimmering.
A solid expression in favor Of the
petition is being asked of Chevy
Chase residents by the association
little doubt the Zoning Commission
will understand that Chevy Chase is
unanimously opposed to the con-
struction Of additional apartment
houses within it's limits.
Business is not tabooed nor ex.
cluded from Chevy Chase. It's ex.
pansion, however, Is limited. In
turn merchants doing business with
in the district restricted to stores
declare they are literally patronized
by local residents. According to the
latter the Chevy Chase merchants
endeaVor to meet the wants Of dis
eliminating buyers with the result
that everybody is satisfied, unless
1t be the prospective storekeeper
who finds all allotted space occupied.
mo one has Il just complaint
against the policy of restricting
business to a given area" declared
one Of the older merchants OF the
suburb today.
THE truth Is the plan not only
protects our residential sections
from intrusion Of mercantile activi.,
ties, but in turn 1t insures those
engaged in business here having q
satisfactory trade. This does not
mean monopoly is created preiu
dicial to our residents. Nothing uf

Strike in Anthracite Fields May
Be Prevented by Pending
Negotiations.

ATLANTIC CITY, July 25.-With
the anthracite joint scale sub-com.
mittee scheduled to hold a. session
this morning there were indications
of impending developments in the
negotiations between miners and
operators to frame a new wage
scale which will prevent strike in
the hard coal fields September l..
The move for two sessions today
as against the single afternoon ses-
sion of the past was instituted by
S. D. Warmer, head OF the oper.
ators, and was taken to mean that
the operators are about ready to
bring into the open their attitude
on the demand of the miners for
complete recognition of the mine
workers union and for a 20 per
cent increase in wages
The attitude of the operators,
who have up to now confined their
activities to searching questioning
of the miners, has been puzz1ing to
the latter. This was indicated in
the carefully worded statement

Turks Get Free Hand
in Constantinople
by New Pact

features of the Allied-Turkish
peace treaty, signed yesterday,
are:
Constantinople goes definitely
to Turkey; all foreign troops to
be withdrawn.
Peace is declared between
Greece and Turkey; the patri-
arch Of the Greek Orthodox
Church is permitted to remain

problem, Armenians being OBJ
liged to seek refuge in neigh

EFFICIENCY
FACTOR Of
SUCCESS
Greater Attention Given to
Service With Definite Results.
Praised by !. c. c.
By WILLIAM HARD.

NEW YORK, N. Y, July a.
1t today seems actually possible
that the railroads may handle the
top peak business of the last half
of this year with no car shortage
at all and with consequently no
repetition whatsoever of the dis
tress and anger caused by car
shortage last year among ship
pers.
This amazing result is at
tributed in some quarters here to
a new railroad policy by which a
much more concentrated attention
is given to service and by which
incidentally considerably smaller
amount of attention is given to
the propagandizing of legislators
and of editors and reporters.
Service Is Promised.
The number of tons of plaintive
statements sent out by railroads to
make the reader burst into tears
at the thought of the hardships in
flicted upon them has fallen off.
The number of tons Of commodities
loaded into freight cars per car
has gone up, so has the number
of miles travelled per car per day:
and 1T is -largely because of this
increased mileage that the railroads
now venture upon the spectacular
hope that this year they will dis.
conlfit all their enemies and critics
and actually carry away our autunl.l
goods with a service amply ade-
Quate to the peak traffic offered.
An analysis made here today of
the means by which the railroads
have increased their output of car
service is believed to throw a strik.
