WORK To START
ON ARLINGTON
BRIDGE
Behring'S for First Pier Will
Begin This Week, Others
to Follow Soon

Construction work on the Airing
ton Memorial Bridge, delayed by
failure of necessary equipment to
arrive on schedule. will begin be-
fore the close of the week, it was
announced today by Lieutenant
Colonel c. o. Sheriff., executive Of
ficer for the bridge commission.
Preparations for sinking the first
of thirty-two core borings have
been completed and the work Will
begin as soon as the equipment is
assembled. The first borning will
be on the site of the bridge pier
nearest the Lincoln Memorial II
probably will be carried down to &
depth Of forty feet below water
level to permit q thorough study
of the nature of the river bed and
the solidity of the bed rock at that
point.
Two Behring'S at First Pier.
Two borings will be made on the
site Of the first pier, after which
caisson work will begin in prepare
ton for the pouring of the huge
concrete pier block, while the core
boring for the other piers is un-
der way.
The extensive construction work
now under way Immediately south
of the Lincoln Memorial. on the
filled ground between the shore
road and the river has nothing 70
do with the bridge project, the
commission announced, in response
to repeated inquiries from residents
of Washington and visitors who are
Interested In the proposed bridge
project.
This work is in connection with
the construction of the Ericsson
Memorial, which eventually will be
a feature Of the landscaping of tine
Washington bridge approach. The
concrete foundation of the memo
rial, rising to a height of about
eight feet above the present road
level, has been completed. 1t is in
the form of great circular plat
form, upon which the memorial will
be located.

When completed this memorial
will be the center Of the rond point

Twenty-third street northwest south

The present roadway between the

sent there to replace the Chileans
until the election is held to deter
min the nationality of the province.
Now to placate the Peruvian
government, without admitting its
allegations against the Chilean
government, is the delicate issue
before the President and Secretary
Kellogg.
American troops cannot be sent to
the disputed province to replace
the Chilean troops now there with
out conceding the correctness Of
Peru's charges of military despot-
ism and terrorism against the Chill
cans.
And to concede that would lead
to Chilean resentment that officials
do not like to contemplate.
Important to America.
The whole controversy is of much
greater importance to the Amer
lean Government than appears on
the surface. The whole of Latin
and South America is watching the
progress of this dispute and eagerly
awaiting it's outcome.
The prestige Of the United States
in the entire western hemisphere
is more or less involved, for the
Eeighbors Of Chile and Peru have
taken sides.
On the part Of Administration
officials there is the frank fear
that the old adage Of the peace
maker getting the black eye" will
work out in this case. The peace.
maker in this case is the United
States.
The controversy was inherited by
the Coolidge kellogg administration
from the Harding Hughes regime.
The late President Harding's zeal
for promotion of peace and better
understanding throughout the west
ern hemisphere prompted him to
urge an adjustment of the Tacna-
africa dispute, a fostering sore in
South America for more than half
a century. Both Peru and Chile
agreed to accept his decision a.
umpire, and upon his death the
task fell to President Coolidge.
Written By Hughes.
The award to which Peru now
takes exception was written by Sec
rotary of State Hughes. 1t ordered
plebiscite to determine the ma
tionality of the province, Peru now
charges that the plebiscite, to be
supervised by )Pershing, is being
''doctored'' by Chile by the sending
of thousands of Chilean labors into
the province against election day.
and by the terrorism instituted by
Chilean troops among Peruvian SYN
pathizers in the area.
It will be General Pershing's task
to so conduct this plebiscite, and to
20 steer a middle course, that Peru
and Chile will be kept from going
to war again, and American prestige
in South America will be enhanced,
rather than smashed. by the ulti-
mate result. Diplomats do not
envy him the job.
