Right OF Way Remains
DisputabLe Question
Frequent Street Accidents Indicate Difference Of
Opinion Between Drivers, Pedestrians
Suggestions Made.

A pedestrian has the privilege Of
contesting the right Of way with an
autoist and enjoying the temporary
satisfaction Of knowing that he is
within the law-but subsequent
contemplation Of privileges while
convalescing In hospital are not
SO reassuring.
Patrolinan william Dryer Of the
police departments bureau Of acct
dent prevention In his latest article
on safety reminds both drivers and
pedestrians Of their rights and re-
sponsibilities. He invited oil to
stand at an intersection any day
and make observations for himself.
His article entitled AT the Bar
rier," reads as follows:
"If you have q few minutes to
spare SOME day, Just stand on any
corner where q traffic signal light
Is located and watch the parade

traf1lc and the pedestrian both try
ing TO use the same portion Of the
highway at the one time. As the

A few years ago o law was passed
which eliminates the yellow light

for the driver as he does not have
to worry about the caution light
going on to hold him there another
few seconds. But the good old

changes to green for the trafiic to
move, finds himself in Q rather
awkward II not dangerous position.

T0DAY'S WAR
 MOVES
(Reg. U. s. Pat. Office)
 BY LOUIS F. KEEMLE United Press War AnaIvSt

Whether the Russian summer of fensive is destined to be a complete or only partial success may hinge on the outcome of the present fierce struggle for the key center of Khar- kov.
 The Germans evidently have thrown in important reserves in an effort to halt the Russian tide at this point and to prevent their en- tire right flank in the Ukraine and down to the sea of Azov from crumbling.
 When the Russians reached Khar- kov and hemmed it in from north and south, the fall of the city seem- ed at hand. Now the Germans have exerted their strength in what ap- pears to be an attempt at count CT offensive, and the issue is mo- mentarily in doubt.
 If the Germans fail here, a gen. eral withdrawal to the line of the Dnieper from its upper reaches above Smolensk to the region of Odessa On the Black Sea might be imperative.
 Such an outcome would be major military defeat for the Germans but not a decisive one. They would lose the bulk of their most valuable ter ritorial gains in Russia hut would have the advantage of a shorter line and the use of the many divi- sicns now south of the Ukraine and in the Crimea to help defend it.
 Unless developments in western and southern Europe prove disast- rous meanwhile, the Germans could try to hold the new line against 8 Russian winter offensive. After the losses of the summer campaign, however, they would need every thing they now have and perhaps more to hold it, which means there could be no withdrawals to meet the great threat in the west.
 While the Allies are ldisposing of two of Germany's three major weapons, air power and the sub marine, the Russians are ham, stringing the remaining one, land power.
 At least half of Germany's land strength still is disposed outside Russia, but the strain being put upon it is piling up ominously. Italy's army can be counted out, even at this stage, which means that the German army is confronted with the defense of all the Balkans, at least the northern half of Italy. and the remainder of Europe from the Mediterranean coast of France to northern Norway. It may face not two fronts, but three of four.
