TRAFFIC PROBLEM
 COSTLY TO LONDON
Millions of Dollars Lost Yearly by
 Congestion in Streets

London, July 11.-Twenty million pounds annually is thrown to the winds as the result of traffic delays and congestion on the streets of Lon- don, according to experts in the art of statistics. This huge sum, which is l said to be 8 conservative estimate, is sufficient. however, to arouse the in- dignation of many London news papers and to open a campaign against the present plight of the street traffic.
 The members for London in the House of Commons have agreed to take the matter up and present a bill designed to regulate all classes of traffic in the city.
 The most difficult problem In Lon don is that of the omnibus and other heavy motor lorries. There are about 3,700 passenger buses in operation in the city, and the number is steadily increasing. The congested traffic has caused a considerable loss to the bus owners, as it is impossible for the ma chimes to make any speed through the maize of other vehicles. The situation is becoming worse according to the newspapers, and it now takes a bus three minutes longer to traverse the Strand. about a half mile in length, than it did six months ago.
 A report shows that 6s,5oo vehicles pass Hyde Park Corner every 12 hours beginning at eight o'clock in the morning, while Picadilly Circus sc- counts for 42,2oo and Trafalgar Square for 41,o00.
 At the present time only in the city of London proper, an area of less than a square mile, is heavy traff1c pro- hibited on some of the main lstreea. On all other streets any class of ve- hicle may wander at its own will.
 There have been many attempts by royal commissions andsseelct commit. tees to deal with the problem. but these have been unable to find a soiu. tion.

 France Also Curious
 Paris, Aug. 11.--News received by the foreign office from, Berlin indicat- ing the early downfall of the Cuno cabinet and prospects of the forma- ton of government disposed to open direct negotiations with France is be- ing followed with great interest in French official circles.

 The insistence of Premier Poin- care hitherto that the passive resist ance in the Ruhr must cease before any negotiations were begun Is not re- garded as an obstacle, because that resistance has greatly weakened dur ing the past week and 1t is expected 1t would be so nearly eliminated by the new developments that the point could be considered negligible. It would be necessary, however, for the Germans to open negotiations with France, Belgium and Italy jointly re- garding the occupation of the Ruhr, and with Great Britain also for final settlement.
