Street Car Needs
Stay Adoptiorn of
Ne1u Traffic Rln1,

In letter addressed to E. L. G4on
Of TOO 10th street, the Commission
ers today revealed that the proposal
to install a co-ordinated traffic sigezl
system on north and south thorough
fares is being delayed because of "A
fear that it would slow. up service onN
the many ear lines running east and
west Writing 10 Mr.. Croft. the Com
missioners said
The project of a co-ordinated
traffic system for north and south
streets in the downtown area has not
been adopted, principally due to the
fact that the important street car
lines of the city traverse this section
in an east and west direction 1t has
been found that great delay in street
car traffic would result if an effort
were made to require traffic on east
and west streets to move simultane-
ously. While automobiles can stop
and go at a signal. street cars are
not always ready to start when the
go signal is given. AS majority Of
the people use the street cars, it is
felt that anysstep which might tend
to delay or cengcst street car traffic
should be avoided" .t

SECURITY PLEA REJECTED.
Macdonald Reported Firm in Atti-

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, June 25.-Prime Minister
Macdonald refused point-blank the
plan of Premier Herriot for Great
Britain to give the signed and sealed
pledge to guarantee French security,
according to the LIntransigeant.
Mr. Macdonald, it said. refused to
accept the French view that fifteen
years of occupation of the Rhfneland,
under the Versailles treaty, would be-
gin only when Germany began to
meet her reparations payments.
1t was Premier Herriot's failure to
get this much desired guarantee of
security, the newspaper adds, that
resulted in the two premiers agree
ing to go to Geneva in the hope that
the league Of nations members might
join in defensive alliances which
would adequately protect France.
Advices from London stated that,
following the British note on
which was sent to Ger
many from Chequers Court last week,
the German government has decided
to accept the conditions laid down
in the last note of the council of
ambassadors regarding military con-
troll of the reich. Germany win ON

principle by the German government
with certain reserves. Germans will
permit allied officers to visit fac
tories, etc, but will probably en-
deavor to avoid inspection of bar
racks and troop centers which would
be likely to bring allied officers into
direct contact with the German
military.
Such contact, the Germans think.
would be unbearable for the proud
spirits of the German military. Nat
urally it is false that Gen. Won Seeckt
and other officers threaten to resign
il control should be resumed.
Lock to League Control.
The German government probably
will ask also that the present visit
be the last and that control then be
given over to the league of nations
as foreseen by the treaty of Var
sailles. 1t is feared that although
the Germans win not hinder applica-
tion of the Dawes report, the reser-
vations made will be Of such seri-
Gus character that it will prevent
final liquidation of allied military
control in Germany.
1t is always possible that the Ger
man cabinet by an eleventh-hour de-
cision will alter the situation, but
this is considered unlikely.
