Dead End" Lines Likely to
Be Solved Through Traf-
fic Survey

A solution Of the problem created
by dead end" terminals of street
car lines is expected from the
survey of transportation facilities
in the District now nearing COM
pletion.
While traffic officials admit that
they look on such terminals as
New York avenue and G street at
Fifteenth street northwest as bad
situations" it was stated today by
Colonel 1. G. Moller, acting traffic
director, that an attempt to remedy
matters awaits the results of the
general study of the, traction prob
lem.
William F. Ham. president Of the
Washington Railway and Electric
Company, whose lines terminate at
the two points at Fifteenth street,
denied that the present situation
could be remedied In a way that
would bring improvement rather
than further complication.
Diversion of the cars on Four
teenth street would result in plac-
ing heavier burdens on the line
on that street." declared Mr.. Ham.
cit would be merely transferring a
bad situation elsewhere.
District officials belt that a
merger of the two street car lines
would offer the readieSt solution to

VIENNA, Aug. 18.-At day
break this morning 106 anti

arrested and a score Of persons
were known to have been injured
in nightlong riots which ushered

The serious stage in the rioting

up meetings held to protest
against the gathering of the Zion
lists in the ancient Hapsburg
capital.
Some Trampled to Death

all directions during the melee and
still others were trampled beneath

In consequence of the fury which
has been aroused, the entire police
force of Vienna, aggregating 5000,
has been brought into action.
All bridges over the ordinarily
peaceful Danube leading into the
Jewish quarter of Vienna are
closely guarded.
The trouble started by organiza-

MEXICO WIPES

ARMIES
Gales Cuts Down Number to
CO. 900 Men, Drops All of
the Political Generals
BY international News Service

MEXICO CITY, Aug. IS.-The
picturesque and usually inefficient
army. as pictured by the late RicE..
ard Harding Davis, is no more.
Within comparatively few
months President Gales has turned
q barefoot, poorly equipped army
into well-clothed, uniformly arm
ed fighting force.
A-regiment on parade, or entrain
ing, might well be mistaken for
an American unit, in neat KHAKI;
uniforms. The soldiers keep step.
and they are snappy.
The government has also estab.
Iished. and is working overtime
with a factory for the manufacture
of uniforms, shoes and other
clothing.
Little by little, the nondescript
arms have been replaced with mod
ern weapons.
Until this time one company IN
battalion would have Winciles-
tiers. another Mausers, another
Krags: and it was next to impos-
sible to supply the requisite am
nunition.
The army was also large. I'M
wieldy and. in some instances,
poorly differed. particularly in the
higher commands. by political gen.
erals.
President Gales has weeded the
force down to q minimum, esti-
mated at around $4,000. and put it
in charge of officers who were
graduated at the Military Academy.
One of the ranking officers, Gen
eral Martinez, commanding the Val
ley of Mexico Division, the largest
unit, according to Colonel Russell,
American military attac11e, is
capable Of taking division of
American troops into action, with
all the various units that go with
the modern American army.
The old barracks have been re-
modelled and made sanitary. The
strictest kind of discipline has been
imposed.
Always on the Move.
In addition. the troops are kept
constantly on the move, as if in a
campaign.

FINDS THAT SEX

POLITICAL
Prof. Keynes Expects Liberals
to Have Birth Control Plank
in Platform

CAMBRIDGE, Eng, Aug. 1s.-'I
can't doubt that sex questions are
bound to enter the political arena"
declared John Maynard Keynes to
gasping and shocked students of the
Liberal Summer School, an institu-
ton for embryonic politicians.
There was further establishment
when Professor Keynes, known all
over the world as a most eminent
economist. intimated that advocacy
of birth control may soon become a
plank in the Liberal platform.
For -torty-two wears Professor
Keynes has been a bachelor, and
now having taken Lydia Lopova.
- the Russian danseuse, as his wife,
he comes forth with suggestions
upon sex questions and politics
that worry the old school politicians.
Birth control and the use of
contraceptives, marriage laws, the
economic position of women, the
economic position of the family
in all these matters the existing
state of the law and of orthodoxy
are still medieval" said Professor
Keynes, land altogether out of
touch with civilized opinion and
practice and with what individuals,
educated and uneducated alike, say
to each other in private.
"a party which would discuss
these things openly and wisely at
fits meetings would discover a new
and living interest in the electorate
because politics would be dealing
once more with matters about
which everyone wanted to know
and which deeply affected every
ones own life.

considered satisfactory, the chilly
fog which hung over the coast In
the early morning when Miss
Ederle started must have made the
water warm in comparison with
the damp air. She stood a moment
on the rocks Of the cape glistening
in a thick coat of grease from head
to toe, and then quietly slipped
into the water. 1t was exactly
ITO o'clock.
Safely Passes Rocks
Guided by Captain Tom Burgess,
the famous English swimmer, Miss
Ederle made her start, and with
easy, graceful strokes was soon
safely past the rocks which jut
out into the sea menacingly around
Cape Grisnez.
Miss Ederle began her swim with
an eight.beat crawl, gradually in
creasing the rhythm until the faith
ful Tom Burgess, accompanying her
in a rowboat, cautioned her against
too much speed.
The American girl. spouting the
water from her mouth, called back
cheerily, I'm feeling poppy"
Burgess was in bathing togs and
expected to take the water from
time to time to encourage the girl
in her heroic task.
Ample provision was made for
Miss Ederle's physical sustenance
during her swim. Likewise, it was
remembered that her morale must
be kept up. Accordingly, an Ameri-
can jazz band was aboard the light
house tug Lamorinique, which foi-
lowed Miss Ederle.
Also aboard, besides numerous
friends and admirers Of the plucky
girl. were two barrels of beer, a lib
eraI supply Of cognac, sandwiches
and the like.
The tug disappeared from view
of the lighthouse watches into mist
at $40.
Miss Ederle showed no perturba-
ton as she dipped into the waters
of the channel which have baffled
the efforts of 50 many Of her prede-
cessors, men az well as women.
The girl is absolutely fearless,
fact of which she gave ample evil
dence. She belied the legend that
her sex will retreat at the sight
OF a mouse by ignoring as OF no
Importance reports by fishermen
that a school of sharks had taken
up its abode in the channel, being
Iured down out of the colder
waters of the North Sea.
Having spent quiet day yester-
day and had a good night s rest
Miss Ederle left all details to her
managers and friends 50 that when
she appeared on the giant rocks OF
the cape today she had husbanded
all her physical strength and nerv-
Gus energy for the ordeal which lay
ahead Of her. Thus with q CHEEKY
smile and an air Of utmost confidence
she took off on the quest which no
woman has yet achieved.
