On Ukraine Noted
Italian Consulate CLOSING
And Further Purees
Held Signs Of Trend
BY the Associated Press.

bS VIC nooOtldtcQ IIcSo
Diplomatic circles here are taking
note of several sWift-moving steps
by the Soviet Union to protect the
Ukraine, which observers believe will
become the European trouble spot of
1899.
These include speeding up Of
Soviet defenses within the Ukraine
proper, further purging Of malcon-
tent elements there, eliminating bor-
der differences with neighboring
States, and closing Of an italian
consulate in Odessa.
The Soviets suspected the con-
sulate devoted more. attention to
political than to commercial affairs.
Only this week, the Soviet govern
ment reached an agreement with
Finland over long standing border
problems. 1t recently has concluded
a new trade agreement with Poland.
Reports to Washington are that the
Soviets are busy working out prob
lens with ali border states through
which Germany might try to bring
pressure for establishment of q
united Ukraine republic.

Marriage Boom Moves
Further Into Virginia

RICHMOND, Va, Dec. 20 (P).-
With loves labors thrown for tenn
porary losses by the 72-hour waiting
rule for out-of county marriage
license applicants in Northern Vir-
ginia, it appeared today that would
be quickly-weds intend to carry their
campaigns further toward the heart
Of the Old Dominion.
Authorities in Fredericksburg,
midway between Richmond and
Alexandria, said II out-of- State
couples bought marriage licenses at
the clerks office Tuesday. The ap-
plicants came from as far north
as New York and Connecticut.
The usual December marriage
license business is only IA or IS
for the entire month, the clerk S
Office reported.
A pickup in the license trade was
also reported in Warrenton, Fau-
Quier County, were 33 licenses up
until noon Tuesday had been issued
during the month, nearly twice as
many as were issued for all of De-
cember last year.
The Loudoun County clerk re-
ported at Leesburg that 16 licenses
had been issued there during the
past two weeks. This was an in
crease over previous weeks, but the
number was comparatively the same
as the number during the same
period of 1887.

Hitler Agreement
To Relax Drive on
Jews Is Reported
Condition Is Emigration
Of Children as Soon
As Possible
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, Dec. 29.-Robert T. Pell,
assistant director Of the Intergov-
ernmental Refugee Committee, said
today that Adolf Hitler had agreed
to relax his campaign against elder
ly German Jews provided their
children emigrate as soon as pos
sible.
Mr.. Pell said he would go to Ger
many within the next two weeks to
work out plans for the removal of
approximately 10000 active young
Jews He said the Refugee Com
mittee would ask specific assurances
that elderly Jews would be guaran-
teed a decent living.
Mr.. Pell will go to Germany as q
member Of a delegation including
George Rublee, director Of the COM
mittee; Joseph Cotton of New York
and British financial expert. They
will see Field Marshal Hermann
Wilhelm Goering, using suggestions
outlined recently in London by DR..
Hjalmar Schacht, president of the
German Reichsbank, as q basis for
negotiations.
Aid From Trade Is Plan.
Under this plan governments
sympathetic to Jews would be asked
to increase their purchases of Ger
man goods and Germany, in return,
would devote a fraction of the for
eign exchange thus provided to en-
able Jews to transfer their money
into foreign currency.
Originally the Schacht plan called
for removal of all Jews-some 7OO,-
000-from Germany. But German
leaders were represented as feeling
now that an attempt to move 15O,-
600 younger Jews with financial aid
from foreign governments and rich
Jews In Germany would be more
practical.
The problem has been complicated
by a general hardening of opinion
throughout the British Empire to-
ward accepting Jews as immigrants.
Mr.. Rublee, it was stated, will be
unable to give Field Marshal Goer-
ing any assurance that British colo
MES in Africa will be able to take
more than few hundred.
Hope to Scatter Young Jews.
Mr.. Pell, an American State De-
partment offlcial assigned to the
Refugee Committee, said that the
committee hoped to scatter young
Jews around the world rather than
place them in any large Jewish set
tlement.
The possibility Of large scale set
tlement in British Guiana and Tan
ganyika, mentioned by Prime Min
lister Chamberlain as havens for
Jews. remains, but officials of the
Refugee Committee are not hopeful
about success Of these projects.
Mr.. Pell said $4,000 German Jews
now hold visas to enter the United
States. They will be permitted to
enter within the next two years.
Some OF these already are among
the 10000 Jewish refugees given
temporary refuge in Britain, the
Netherlands, Belgium and France.

from crossing pedestrian lanes dur
ing the showing Of the yellow light,
came from George H. Brown, speak
ing for the Columbia Heights Cit
liens Association.
Mr.. Brown repeatedly took a look
"at the record to show past state
ments by the Commissioners, the
traftic director and Police Supt.
Brown. Reading from a newspaper
clipping about 2 years old, he re-
ported that the Commissioners had
three times rejected proposals by
Traffic Director Van Duzer for pc
destrian control and said today's
| hearing was the fifth time the Com
missioners had pedestrian control up
for consideration.
Mr.. Brown quoted Maj. Brown
as having said in the past that
police could not enforce pedestrian
regulation. You know we all sup
port Maj. Brown and have indorsed
his request for additional police
men. but know and you all know
we are not going to get 'jaywalk-
ing policemen. Chuckles of
amusement ran around the room, but
Mr.. Brown did not bother to ex-
plain, since 1t was generally under
stood he meant policemen to con-
troll jaywalkers.
Mr.. Brown also commended George
Adams Howard, automobile editor
OF The Star, for series of articles
published sometime ago in which he
championed the rights of the pedes-
trian for some system which would
give him due protection.
The Columbia Heights spokesman
protested against the ''fallacy" of
attempting to put the whole respon-
sibility for traffic fatalities among
pedestrians. and he called absurd
and impractical" that section of the
proposed rules to require pedestrians
to obey both signals and officers,
and he termed "unenforceable" the
other section requiring pedestrians
to cross only at crosswalks.
Others Express Views.
Assurance that stringent pedes-
trian control Is enforceable and
workable came from Rufus S. Lusk,
president of the Washington Tax
payers Association, who spoke at
the hearing as private citizen. He
said he saw the control in action
In Los Angeles, San Francisco and
Seattle and that the people there
accepted without cavil.
"Our Police Department should
institute a greater control over mo-
tor traffic" George A. Corbin, presi-
dent Of the Manor Park Citizens
Association, said. While he favored
pedestrian control, he gave as his
opinion that the proposed regula-
tions were too drastic. The whole
problem should be given further
study, he said.
Mrs. Pearl B. Clark, chairman of
the Safety Committee of the District
Congress of Parents and Teachers,
urged the installation Of q bell sys-
tenn which would announce period
when the street crossing should be-
long absolutely to the pedestrians.
Among the other witnesses this
morning were DR.. Thomas w.
Gosling of the Board Of Education,
speaking for Supt. Of Schools Bal
lou; Whitney Leary, chairman OF
the Traffic Advisory Council; Joseph
I. Cavanaugh, secretary Of the
Georgetown Citizens Association;
w. j. Tucker, secretary Of the Ana
costa Citizens Association, and A.
F. E. Horn, president Of the Rotary
Club Of Washington.

PiHman Says Peace
Hinges on Furnishing
Vio|ators Of Treaties
War Isn't Necessary to
Effect Discipline,
Church Council Told
By the, Associated Press.

B, the, Associated Press.
Chairman Pittman of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee ex-
pressed the opinion today that world
peace and justice" depend on a
willingness of Christians to punish
the violators of peace treaties
In letter to the Federal Coun-
Gil of the Churches of Christ in
America, Senator Pittman said it
was not necessary to go to war to
carry out such punishment.
IT think that moral, financial and
commercial sanctions would be suf-
ficient," he wrote. Christian Or
ganizations should not be afraid to
denounce immortality and injustice
in government and to urge punish
ments for the violation of sacred
peace treaties.
Until they take this action, their
opinions and their efforts will be
little regarded"
Treaties No Good.
Mr.. Pittman said his letter was
In response to request from the
council for comment on its sug-
gestion that all colonies be made
independent, offering free trade to
every nation in order to provide
needed raw materials.
ut accomplishes nothing for one
government to surrender a colony
so that its inhabitants may govern
themselves If the colony is to be
invaded, conquered, and ruled by
some other power" Senator Pitt
man said.
"Your plan for protecting against
such an eventuality is multiple
treaties of assurance of protection.
Multiple treaties of protection at
the present time and for several
years in the past have not &C
complished their purpose of pro-
tecting weak countries.
Cites Philippines.
The covenant of the League of
Nations was such q multiple treaty.
1t did not protect China or Ethiopia.
The nine-poWer pact was such a
multiple treaty, and it failed to pro-
tect China. The agreement be-
tween France, Russia, Poland, Ru-
mania, Yugoslavia, and Czecho-
Slovakia failed to protect Czecho-
Slovakia.
"The surrender today, in my opin-
Ion, by Great Britain and France Of
their Colonial possessions would not
protect the independence of such
possessions. They would immedi-
ately be taken possession of and
governed by certain other govern
ments and probably more harshly
governed"
Senator Pittman noted the case
of the Philippine Islands in COM
menting on the proposal that COL
onies should be released only when
they were prepared to govern them
selves. American treatment of the
Philippines, he said, carried out this
policy, but he added that in such
cases there should be some aSsur-
ance treaties would be adhered to.

want" Mr.. Hazen said. Elwood H.
Seal, corporation counsel, gave his
assurance that the Commissioners
had the legal authority to institute
the regulations If they wished. Col.
McCoach said:
For some time considerable
portion of the population has ad-
vised pedestrian control of some sort.
The Commissioners are of an open
mind on this particular question.
They are not inclined to adopt any
regulation burdensome on the pedes-
trian, nor adopt any regulation not
backed by large portion of our
citizens and therefore unenforce-

Eldridge Shows Map.
Mr.. Eldridge drew the audience S
attention to a map of the District
plastered with indicators showing
the locations of the 286 traffic IA
talities which occurred in Washing
ton between January /, 1896, and
November 30, 1898. He emphasized
that large percentage of the fatal
mishaps took place in the outlying
areas.
The traffic dead included 2l3
pedestrians, Mr. Eldridge said. He
appeared for William A. Van Duzer,
traffic director, who is Ill, and read
Mr.. Van Duzer's prepared statement,
which declared in part:
"Of the 213 pedestrians who were
killed in traffic accidents In Wash
ington from January /, 1898, to
November 80, 1888, we find that 12O
were killed in the roadway between
intersections; Is were crossing at
intersections but not in the cross
walk; l8 were crossing against signal
at controlled intersections; 40 per-
sons were crossing properly at cross
walks. Three persons were crossing
on green signals, and seven persons
were killed while standing in safety
zones or on sidewalks.
These facts indicate negligence
not only on the part of people who
drive automobiles, but also on the
part OF persons on foot.
Other Cities Queried.
"The figures also indicate that
we shall never make very great
headWay in controlling or protecting
pedestrians until the drivers of
motor vehicles look out for pedes-
trians crossing streets at crosswalks
and on proper signal and until
pedestrians learn to respect the
rights Of drivers between intersec-
tionS. .
That pedestrian regulation can
be brought about in Washington is
indicated by what has been accom-
pliShed elsewhere. A QUESTIONABLE
on this subject was recently ad-
dressed to the mayors OF 100 cities
the size Of Washington and larger.
"Fifty-six replies were received.
Out of this number we flnd that
pedestrians are required to obey
traffic signals In 20 cities. Pedes-
trians shall cross at intersections
where adjacent intersections are
signalized in 10 cities. Pedestrians
shall cross only at crosswalks; in
nine cities, and there are 21 cities
heard from in which there are no
pedestrian regulations. -
LAS to State regulation and con-
troll of pedestrians we find that
there are 10 States that have no
regulation, while pedestrians must
obey traffic signals in 20 States.
They must cross at intersections
where adjacent Intersections are
signalized in "a States. -.
IF we are to reduce pedestrian
accidents there must. be complete
cooperation between the pedestrian
and the motorist. Each must fully
recognize his duty aud assume hts
share Of responsibility.s 49,
