18TH ST. FAVORED
FOR SIGNAL LIGHTS
Advisory Committee In
dorses First installation Be-
tween H and u.

The proposal to install the first au-
tomato traffic signals on Sixteenth
street from II and L street was ap-
proved by an advisory committee
called together at the District Build
ing by Traffic Director Eldridge last
night.
The plan decided upon is to erect
the signal lights in the center of each
intersection on an ornamental post de
signed by the electrical department
and passed upon by the Fine Arts
Commission.
Director Eldridge is considering
streets that should be designated as
arterial highways, where intersectinG
traffic would be REQUIRED TO come to
a stop before crossing.
May Be Arteries.
The following streets are being
tentatively considered for designation:
Sixth, Tenth. Thirteenth, Sixteenth,
Eighteenth and Twenty-second streets;
20 street from Massachusetts, avenue
to Georgetown; Georgia avenue be
yond Sherman avenue; Rhode Island
avenue, Massachusetts avenue, Con-
necticut avenue, Wisconsin avenue,
Sherman avenue, Maryland avenue,
Bladensburg road. Good Hope road TO
Eighteenth street southeast, to Min
neSOta avenue, to PennSylNanla dN =
nue..
Before any boulevard highway is
put into operation every intersection
will be marked with stop signs as
reminder to drivers that they must
halt before crossing.
AS to the automatic signal system. ii
is Mr.. Eldridge's plan to install it on
all busy streets, but the limited funds
available necessitates combining the
first installation to one street only.
For that reason the director wanted
advice from the committee as to the
best thoroughfare on which to begin.
Most of those invited to the meet
ing last night were members of the
advisory committee which assisted in
the preparation of the new traffic code.
Those present were: Right Rev. James
E. Freeman, Bishop of the Episcopal
Diocese of Washington; Ernest Green
wood, vice president of the Board of
Education: Rudolph Jose, John H.
Hanna, vice president of the Capital
Traction Co.; William Z. Yelverton of
the Department of Commerce, Charles
w. Darr, Inspector A. ]. Headley, po-
lice traffic bureau; w. Pearce Rayner,
William Hard, James p. Noonan, Fred
erick A. Delano. Edward S. Brashears
and George A. Finch.
Mr.. E;ldridge said today that he
hopes to make the committee which
conferred with him last night psrma-
nent traffic council to advise with him
from time to time on any proposed
traffic innovation.

u. s. DEBT POLICY
UPHELD BY BRAND
French Senate Told America
Is Within Rights Also on the
Security Treaty.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PARIS, May 27.-The policy of the
United States respecting war debts
and the attitude of the United States
Senate toward the guarantee pact
signed by President Wilson in 1919 re-
ceived a stout defense in the French
Senate yesterday.
An attack by Senator Gourju on
certain American politicians who. he
said, threatened France with their
lcannon while they left her without the
security promised by President VIII
son, drew from NJ. BRAND, the foreign
minister, the statement that there was
no ground for questioning the pro-
priety of the United States Senate S
action on the guarantee treaty. He
recalled that those engaged in the
peace negotiations were made well
aware that the Senate could not be ex-
pected to ratify such a document.
Intends to Fund Debt.
NJ. BRAND again interviewed in the
Gen. Tauff1ieb of Alsace, who said that
France must follow the example of
Great Britain and fund it's debt to the
United States without delay, and he
added:
Serious conversations to that end
have already begun"
Gen Tauff1ieb regretted the weak
ness of France in the matter of
propaganda in America. saying hos
tile propaganda made it appear that
France wanted to dodge her obliga-
'tions.
The general added that the prob
lem of disarmament could not be
taken up with the United States
under conditions favorable to France
unless the debt question was first
disposed Of
The debate, which was on the for
eign affairs budget of 1925. covered
the whole range of foreign affairs.
NJ. BRAND, replying to some of the
speakers, declined to be explicit on
the subjects of security. evacuation
of Cologne and disarmament, because
these questions would be taken up in
diplomatic negotiations in the course
of time.
For German Consumption.
DIR. Stresemann, the German for
eign minister, NJ. BRAND asserted,
was talking for German public opin-
ion when he said that the allies by
remaining in Cologne had failed to
respect their signatures and that the
violations of the Versailles treaty
with which Germany was reproached
could not be very serious, because
the allies had not made them known.
'T am quite sure that DIR. Strese-
mann knew all about these viola
-tions," NJ. BRAND went on. Each of
them, taken separately. might not
have been considered dangerous, but
their multiplicity and their close
connection causes shiver of hnx-
iety."
NJ. BRAND defied any one to show
where France has taken any steps
toward debt repudiation.

But there is no excuse for the
