LESSON Of TRAFFIC
Evans Announces Plan for

Arrangements for handling auto

number of important respects, as a
result of lessons learned from the
Initial experience, Inspector Charles
Evans, assistant superintendent of

The two major changes which it
fs deemed necessary to make are the
temporary limiting of E street to one
way traffic travelling east. and the
changing of Eighteenth street from

Furthermore, motorists will be
urged to make use of streets sew

such as occurred Monday night

II believe that by making f street
a one-way traffic artery much of the
tamming and piling up of cars to the
rear will be remedied," Inspector
Evans stated. "As many as four cars
may, If necessary, use this street
abreast. These cars will reach L
street by moving south on Twentieth
Twenty first. Twenty and
other streets to the west of the audi
torium. They will thus be enabled
to unload their passengers at the Z
street entrance.
Motorists desiring to use the
Nineteenth street entrance may drive
south on Nineteenth street to the
auditorium. Cars on this street will
be allowed four abreast also, as it
is oneway thoroughfare.
BY making Eighteenth street a
south bound one-way street instead
of a north bound one, as at present.
motorists wishing to use the New

south down Eighteenth street or

SHANGHAI, January 2s.-Gen. Chi
Hsieh-Yuan, who recently captured the
environs of Shanghai from the adherents
of the present Peking government, but
whose army was defeated early this
week at Wusih, so miles west of here,
left with his family today on the
steamer Nikko Maru for Moji, Japan.
This is believed here to mean that the
fight for the possession of Shanghai Is
definitely ended.
Dispatches from Shanghai on Mon
day said that Chi had suffered a de-
cisive defeat at Wusih, and that his
troops were retreating along the line
of the Shanghai Railway to-
ward Shanghai. leaving Wusih In con-
troll of the central governments troops
under Lu Yung-Hsiang. Tuesdays dis
patches reported that Chi's troops had
partly evacuated Foochow after sharp
fighting with forces of Lu. Shanghai
authorities are preparing to transport
the defeated soldiers to Shantung, as
was done with the army of Chang Yung-
Min, when it was defeated by Chi
troops and fell back on Shanghai earlier
in the month.

PEACE WAR
UP TO QUEEN
OF RUMANIA.
Her Skill in Love and Diploma
cy May Prevent a Conflict
In the BALKANS
RUSSIA AND RUMANIA
WANT RICH BESSARABEA
DIPLOMATS Agree That a Most
Menacing Situation Again
Exists in ''War Hatchery

LONDON, Sept. 25.-The dipIo-
matte skill of the worlds most beau
tIful and skillful queen, which al
ready has won her several victories
in love and politics, now faces It's
supreme test.
Can the lovely Queen Marie Of
REmania prevent the threatened
war between her country and soviet
Russia over the possession of the
rich and fertile country of Bessara-
bia?
For centuries war making seems
to have been the chief occupation
Of ROYALTY in that tiny section Of
the world known as the Ralkans. IN
this area wars have started over
things that seemed trivial to the rest
of the world.
Yet almost overnight these con-
flicts have embroiled nearly all the
Balkan states and then spread TO
other parts of Europe, as was tire
case with the World War.
Diplomats agree that most men
acing situation again exists in this
"war hatchery" Should war come
it is almost certain to involve other
countries than Rumania and soviet
Rassia.
Queen Marie's great ambition has
been to make her country dominant
in the Balkans by making each one
of her beautiful daughters a queen.
In this way the "mother-in-law OF
the Balkans" has believed it would
be possible to unite the tiny cOun-
tries and preserve peace.
In this she has been partly sue
eessful.
One daughter is now queen Of
Jugoslavia and Onther married the
now deposed king Of Greece.

Evidence that Florida is attract

shows that there are only II less
pupils in the three grammar schools

were at the end Of the first month

Professor J. E. Mathis, superiu-
tendent of the public schools, an
nounced today that 2S9 pupils had
registered at the high school
through today. This compares, he
stated, with an enrolment of 236
for the first month of last years
session.
While the high school showed an
increase of three in its enrolment,
the three Grammar schools report
a slight decrease for the first week,
"a compared with the first month
of last year. Furlow school has 10
less pupils at the end of this week
than it had on the last day OF DC

crease is due said Prof Mathis to
the fact that number of the young
