By the Associated Press. PARIS, September 9.—M. Clemenceau, the ‘war premier, will sail for New York in four weeks on an extended todr of the United States for the purpose ‘of telling thé American people what are the rights and duties of the nations which jointly won the war, and-also to try to restore the prestige which France has lost in the United States. The trip will mark the return of M. Clemenceau to French politics, according to what is considered reliable authority here. M. Clemenceau is maRing the trip independently of any agency or lec- ture buréau; ‘it is- further asserted, and he will not receive one cent for the journey, the -expense of which wil pald from his own pocket. His advisers say the former premier now sees an opportunity to again serve his country in a large way, and hopes that the good he expects to accom- plish in America will sefve to create a demand for his return to power in France. M. Clemenceau is going to the United States as an nullp{ken pro-American, but at the same time, it 18 said, he thinks the French posi- tion is misunderstood by a large part of_the erican public. Friends of M. Clemenceau believe he will _have t success In the United - States, since they say he is sure to make a stronger appeal to Americans than any previous French visitor. The fact that he is going as frank admirer of the United States, id not to obtain concessions, is reported M. s vis the approval of certain influential political elements in the French chamber of deputies.

Elated over the decision of the Commissioners to restore to the slashed school budget a number of the most essential items of the school construction program, school author- itles yesterday afternoon began the preparation of supplemental esti- mates which will contain all 6t the requirements of the schoels original- Iy set forth by the board of educa- tion. It is the intention of the school officials, through the Commissioner: to submit the supplementary est mates to. the budget bureau with the hope of impressing on G rd the absolute need of the $8.400,000 asked for in the original estimates.’ Dr. Abram Simon, president of the board of education, when informed of the plans of the Commissloners to grant the schools a larger appropriation tha $5,500,000, emphasized that the officials of the schools appreciate the fine sense of co-operation of the city heads. Any amount that the Commissioners add to the school budget, he sald, would be welcomed, but pointed. out that every, cent called for in the original estimates s vitally necessary if the &chool eys- tem is to be operated on an efficient basis. s The amount of the increase to be al- lowed in the school budget was not re- vealed by the Commissioners. It {8 un- derstood, however, to be between $1,- 000,000 and $1,500,000. With the latter figures the school budget would total approximately $7,000,000, the figure which Dr. Simon set as the minimum required to run the schools for the next fiscal year. What items will be restored to the school estimates neither the Commis- sioners nor the school offictals wous disclose. It is believed that the provi sions for sites for a new Tech high school and for additions t6 Western and Armstrong will be among them. —_—— TARIFF BILL READY FOR FINAL ACTION (Continued from First Page.) House rate of 25 cents and the emergency tariff duty of 45 cents. The Senate republican agricultural tariff bloc held out for the Senate rate to the last, but the House con- ferees insisted on a reduction. A sharp reduction was made in the rates on dyes, synthetic chemicals and explosives, the products of coal tar, which were voted by the Senate just before it passed the bill, but it was understood that an agreement was reached to continue the present dye-licensing embargo system for one year, with authority for the President to extend it for a second year should he deem that to be necessary. The duties on dyes reported to have been agreed upon were 7 cents a pound and 50 per cent ad valorem on intermediates, and 7 cents a pound and 60 per cent on finished products, with the ad valorem duty based on American valuation. These were the rates recommended by the finance committee and compared with 10% cents a_pound and 75 per cent on intermediates, and 10% cents a pound and 90 per cent on finished dy prot ed by the Senate. The House rates were 7 cents a pound and 30 per cent ad valorem on intermedlates, and 7 cents a pound and 35 per cent_on finished dyes, with the ad 'valorem based on American valuation, as was the case with the rgtes approved by the Senate. e Row Over Shingles. There was a last-minute row in conference over the question of duty on shingles, but whether these were left on the free list, where they were voted by the Senate, was not disclosed. Senator Kellogg, repub- lican, Minnesota, conferred with the conferees in support of free shingles, while Senators Gooding of Idaho, chairman of the republican tariff bloc, and McNary and Stanfield, r publicans, Oregon, urged the ma agers to impose & duty of 25 cents per 1,000, or half the rate voted by the House. With the tariff bill out of the way, the conferees plan to get to work this week on the soldlers’ bonus bill with a view to having that ready for | final action by the Senate and House before the end of the week. Democratic managers from the House and Senate will be called into conference on the bonus, as that is not a partisan measure. They- were excluded from consideration of the tariff, but will be invited in after the completed bill has been printed and will cast their votes on the measure at that time. MRS.

Herr Wiedfeldt, and practically every department head in the present ad- ministration were among the callers, most of whom left flowers and person- al notes expressing their sympathy. ‘While there Wi no announcement. as to when the attending physicians expected a crisis to be reached, the statement that consultation would be held tomorrow to determine whether an operation would be held led to the conclusion that no development of extreme gravity was considered prob- able before that time.

Child welfare in all its phases, the causes, small and large, that stunt the growth of the growing child, mentally, morally and physically. and methods for remedies to assure a finer set of future citizens will be thoroughly gone into at the coming conference of Catholic charities to be held in Washington at the Catholic University September 17 to 21. Everything from the harmful after effects of bad teeth, adenoids and wrong posture to the more serious effects of unwholesome environment, undernourishment and overwork will be discussed by the hundreds of dele- gates. Addresses will be made by the leaders in various branches of child welfare work, those who have been devoting their lives to work with immigrant children, with chil- dren driven to wrong by unwholesome iamily life, or ill from starvation and working in $weatships and insani- tary factorles. These experts will analyze causes and effects and will evolve remedial methods from the ex- change of experiences and theories. Exhibit of Posters. During the time that the conference is convened there will be an exhibit of posters loaned by the National Chila Welfare Association, which will be hung at the Catholic University.

ALL-NIGHT PARKING PROBLEM OF POLICE Court Rulings Put Question of Rights to Street Up to Public Pending Decision. Police officials were undecided yes- terday what the policy of the depart- ment would be toward motorists who leave their cars In front of their homes all night during the moderate months of the year. The issue was raised on two dif- ferent occasions recently in Police Court. ' One judge voiced the belief that If an undertaker or physician had the t to leave his car out front all night in anticipation of a then other citizens would have e same right. Another Police urt judge a few days ago stated the oplr nion that a street could not be used as a Earage. Acting Inspector Willlam Shelby, executive aide to Maj. Sullivan, cited section 16 of the police regulations as the one which comes nearest to covering the question..of all-night parking. This section reads, in part, as_follows:- “No part of any street shall be used for the keeping, depositing. storing displaying or selling of vehicles of any kind. he same section contains a proviso giving thée rules ufdeér which an auction sale of vehicles may be held on_the publie streets.

NEW YOREK, September 9.—Re- establishment of prosperity in the United States must be given first place in the thoughts of Americans and must be the preface to discus- sion of the entrance of this country into European affairs and into the league of nations, declared James AL Cox, former democratic candidate for the presidency at the last elec- tion, on his return from Europe today Mr. Cox went abroad study old world political and economlic conditions. Discussing the issues in the con- gressional elections this fall, Mr Cox =aid that the international issue would be “the failure of the adminis- tration, both in the moral and unselfish £00d roads board, who is & clvil and | view on the one hand and the practica! highway engineer of high standing, has been making & careful study of the streets of the District and has|ernmental come to the conclusion that they are a “lasting disgrace to the nation’s I speak for the rist,” said Mr. Eldridge yesterday, nd I maintain that the motorists pay enough money in taxes to the District of Columbia to be entitled to better roads than those on which we are now compelled to ride. M torists generally recognize that they should pay the city's share for the upkeep and repairs of the streets. The estimates of the Commissioners for needed repairs to streets, alleys and suburban roads for the fiscal year of 1924 are $1.150,000. The mo- torists of the District paid into the treasury for the fiscal year of 1922 a total of $748,684. This was paid as follows: For registration, $345,28 for drivers’ licenses, $35,000; for per- sonal property tax on automobiles, $225,000; for fines and fees, $143,404. Calls Estimates Moderate. “With the present system of the District paying 60 per cent of the city's expenses and the government 40 per cent, thiz would entitle the motorists to a fund of $1,250,000 for repairs on streets, alleys and sub- urban roads, as $748,684 is approxi- mately 60 per cent of this amount. “The building of new roads, ac- cording to all highway economics, should come out of general funds and to my mind the Commissioners’ timate of $1.200,000 for this pur- se is extremely moderate. mo- | and selfish view on the other, to par ticipate in the affairs of the world. " But, he added, the matter of gov- assoclation to promote Peace must yield to the matter of establishing economic order in this country. League Is Not Pressing. Mr. Cox said that, for the moment, there was nothing pressing in the question of the league of nations. In Europe, he declared, reparations and Dot the league is the lmportant ques- - Mr. Cox declared, i8 the one question in Europe today. and America holds the key to the reparations situation. If a decision ix not reached, Germany will collapse and with her will go Austria. And if Germany collapses, France will ket nothing and be left in a very bad situation which will endanger all of Europe. ‘At the fall elections, the adminis- tration will have to answer for its sins of omission and commission While the paramount issue will be an internal one, the domestic and inter- national questions cannot really be separated. The economic unit is the world, not any one country. A part of it is close to collapse. America had a chance, without involvements of any kind, to end the deadlock, sta- bilize Europe and create a market for our farms and factories. Declin- ing prices in America's products are largely due to the rejection of this opportunity.” England Wants te Pay.

Lord is chairman, from making any reduc- tions in the propriations for streets until Congress has a chance to pa on the figures submitted by the Di: trict_Commissioners in their estimates for the coming year. This applies just as pertinently to schools as to streets, and while the American Auto- mobile Association devotes its efforts to the interests of motorists, it will be glad to aid in any educational plans, because the A.

We will come in, not only as a matter of duty and service, but of self-interest as w We will enter with a well formed and understanding public opinion and then the league will cease to be a political issue. Germany Awaits United States. “Germany, T was told by President Ebert, will enter the league the d- v the United States does. but she wiil not, for the present at least, join the league uniess we do. Just as soon the constiuttion of the Irish Free State is fully ratified, Ireland will be represented in the assembly of the league. Whatever condition America sees fit to impose conscientiously, the other members beyond question will accept.” Mr. Cox said that the unanimous feeling among American travelers abroad was one of astonishment that America was not finishing the great work It had begun by participatink in the war. This feeling, he declared. was shared by Europeans.
