Recently we asked an old-time COM
mercial driver, who had driven for
I8 years under all sorts Of trafhc and
weather conditions, to list the out
standing causes of highway accidents,
based on his observations.
Here are the Seven Deadly Sins
of Traffic" as he sees them:
/. Inattention; failure to heed the
work at hand.
q. Excessive speed, which, he says
is an element in nearly all serious
crashes.
8. Traffic violations. Law-abiding
drivers have right to depend on OBJ
servance Of traf1c rules by others.
4. Intoxication. The drinking driver
Is a constant menace and the problem
has become more serious since repeal.
5. The road hog. He endangers
everybody and belongs in jail.
6. Unfitness for driving. Either
mental or physical disabilities tend to
destroy ones sense Of alertness.
Z. Failure TO keep car in safe con-
dition. Frequent inspection Is the
best protection. 8

ALL-EUROPE PACT SOUGHT.
Britain to Urge Limitation of NavieS
on Continental Powers,


(Copyright, 1885, by the Associated Press.)
LONDON, June 19.-Great Britain
welded its new naval agreement with
Germany as a bargaining weapon to-
day. confident it can persuade other
European powers to accept naval limi-
tations.
Conclusion of a naval treaty for all
principal powers of Europe by 1887
granting that Japan would remain
adamant against restrictions on war
ships-became the objective of the
British government.
Scarcely had the ink dried on the
signatures to the Anglo-German
agreement, permanently restricting
their navies to a I00-35 ratio, when it
was announced officially Capt. Anthony
Eden will resume his naval negotia-
tons with the French government
Friday at Paris.
Great Britain implied in its treaty
with the Reich that it was ready to
approve building up Of the British and
German navies if other powers should
violently upset" the equilibrium under
the Washington treaty. This will
expire in 1886.
Government authorities said talks
will be resumed with Italy which, bike
France, was bound by the Washington
treaty. It was understood a Russian
delegation may be formally invited to
London soon.
Oficial circles insisted Great Britain
had not abandoned hope for a world
wide naval conference before the end
of 1885, as required by both the
Washington and London fve-power
treaties.
The Anglo German pact disclosed,
however. that both nations are con-
vinced naval ratios, applying to all
categories, must be the backbone for
any limitation treaty.
This was believed to limit the prac-
tical objective for general naval
pact to Europe alone, in view Of
Japan's opposition to the system which
Toxic has long considered as debasing
its position as a world power.
Great Britain, designated as pace
maker In the 100-35 ratio. granted
permission to Germany to build its
submarine feet to full equality with
England's $4,000 tons, provided the
question be submitted to friendly dis
cussion."

a recent newspaper article, Secretary
Swanson today ordered naval Officers
not to discuss Controversial inter

Swanson said he considered it i'm
proper for Navy officers to publish
controversial comment on interna-
tional affairs which might be con-
strued as offensive to foreign gov
ernments or their nationals"
Commands Brooklyn Yard.
Stirling commands the Third Naval
District and the Brooklyn Navy Yard.
His recent article was interpreted by

ing general European war against
Russia.
Il considered 1t my duty" Swanson
said at a press conference, TO ad-
monish the admiral not to try to settle
foreign affairs, which are under the
State Department or the President,
under the Constitution.
Swanson said. however, his letter to
Stirling would not be entered on the
officers service record. He emphasized
he did not wish ito encourage other
admirals to do the same thing"
Asked If naval regulations would be
amended to require officers to submit
articles in advance, Swanson said there
shouldn't be any written" on such
controversial questions.
Silent on Naval Treaty.
We've got no right to give them
permission" he added.
Swanson declined comment on q
reported Anglo German naval agree
ment, saying it was a State Depart
ment matter" and that he had Just
stopped comment on international af-
fairs by all naval officers.
He added the Navy Department was
considering asking funds for replace
ment of obsolete battleships at expira-
ton of the Washington treaty on De-
cember 81, 1886.
Asked whether he would consent to
a continuation of the battleship holi-
day until 1912, If Great Britain and

FRANCE CONSIDERS.
NAVY PACT JUNKED.
AngIo-Reich Accord Kills
Washington Treaty, Com
mittee Says.
Rx the Associated Pres.

PARIS, June 19.-Members of the
Chamber Naval Committee said today
a majority of that body consider that
the British scrapped the Washington
naval treaty of 1922 when they made
their present naval agreement with
Germany.
This consensus, they stated, was
shown at secret session Of the COM
mittee. They said the committee
agreed with the governments view
that France has free hand" on the
naval question.
The committee was understood to
foresee naval armament race as a
result of the Anglo-German accord.
Premier Pierre Laval and Francois
Pietri. minister of marine, were re-
queSted to appear before the commit
tee Friday to discuss the enlargement
of the French feet.
The members said Frances 600 900
tons of varships were roughly divided
into 100000 tons for Mediterranean
service and 200, 900 for the Atlantic.
They argued that If Germany has
400, 900 tons, France would be hope
lesSly outclaSsed and would have to
build up her Atlantic feet on the
ground that the 400. 900 tons assigned
to the Mediterranean colonies were
needed to protect many long coast
lines and to transport colonial troops.

Senate Returns Own
Reports.

By the Associated Press.
The Senate was asked today by Re-
publican members of the Elections
Committee to declare void the election
of Senator Rush Holt, Democrat,
of West Virginia.
Senators Hastings, Republican, Of
Delaware; Austin, Republican. of YER
mont, and Dickinson, Republican, of
Iowa submitted minority report as
Serting that the fact that Holt had
not attained the age of 80 years at
the start of his term made him in
eligible.
Asks Seating Tomorrow.
Holt, who was 80 today, will ask the
Senate tomorrow to seat him.
The majority committee report,
signed by IL members, holding Holt
entitled to his seat, will be filed later.
Senators King, Democrat. Of Utah;
ConnaIly. Democrat, of Texas, and
Johnson, Republican, of California,
drew up separate minority reports, all
holding the West Virginian ineligible.
Dangerous Precedent Seen.
The Hastings Austin Dickinson re-
port said:
I'VE think the plain language of
the Constitution means that a Sen
ator must be 80 years of age when
his term begins. While in the case
of Mr. Holt the age requirement lacked
little less than six months in time,
the principle involved would be the
same if he lacked five years and six
ITO decide that a person elected
to the United States Senate could
wait until shortly before his term
had expired and until he had arrived
at the age of 80 years is placing a
construction upon the provisions Of
the Constitution that is wholly un-
warranted; would establish a princi-
pie which might readily result in
greatly diminishing the number of
Senators provided for by the Consti-
tuition"

TIME important thing behind
President Roosevelt's current
reorganization of N. r. A is
n not the superficial dismantling
proposed, but the men he has chosen
to do it.
Those who will conduct the autopsy
and rattle the skeleton of the Blue
Eagle are distinctly more conservative
than any group which had anything
to do with the bird when it lived.
They are not exactly reactionarieS, but
neither are they Richbergs or John
sons.
1t is apparent to all N. r. A.
insiders that anything to be toorked
out OF the eristing situation In the
tUay OF future business cooperative
action wiH be more moderately
conceived than the last attempt.
You can see that by calling the roll
of the coroners on the diSmantling
board. OF course, every one knows
that Chairman O'Nein is a New York
banker. He is rated in N. r. A. as
good man, level-headed. He has been
in charge of personnel and will de-
eide who is to be fired. You know
what that means.

Liberal Window Dressing.
The supplemental Advisory Com

Undertone in Congress.
A peculiar undertone has developed
in Congress recently. No one seems
to care very much about anything.
All are anxious to get home. Their
children are out Of school. 1t is va
cation time. The weather has lately
turned hot and uncomfortable.
AS result, deep questions Of leg
islation are not getting as much at
tention as they usually do. For in
stance, few seem to be excited about
the constitutionality of the Wagner
Connery Labor Board bill or the
Guffey- Snyder bill The main idea
seems to be to get the remaining leg
islative job done as quickly as pos
sible and get out Of town.
This is encouraging for the re-
mainder of the White House legisla-
tive program. The President is being
required to work for each item of
legislation, but in the end he will get
just about everything he wanted (util-
ity bill, bank bill. social security, A.
