But a reporter stood at Fourteenth street and pennsylvania avenue this morning dur- ing the rush hour and saw the pedes- trians, the very persons whom the p Jice are trying to protect, utterly disre gard his efforts to save them from harm and walk just as it suited their particu- lar fanci The cor looked carefully as a duly blew his whistle, in all directions and, at per time, opened his semaphore to waiting automobiles and strect care, trying his utmost to give the pedes- | trians every protection possible.

In the meantime about 16 street cars and several hundred automobiles were held up im all directions.

Of course, the motorman swore loudly and soundly.

Seventy-five per cent of our trouble nowadays is caused by the pedestrian, most of the motorists are all right. ‘Of course, every now and then we'll run across a driver who isn't thinking; sometimes they're just plain reckless. We can lock them up, and believe me, they'll know better the next time. But we can't touch the pedestrian. He walks as he pleases, res us to death a hundred times a day, and the law grants him perfect immunity. We should handle them just as we do motorists. That's what the traflic needs.” Do Ax They Like. A more conglomerated scene could scarcely be imagined than Peonsyl- vania avenue and Fourteenth street during the rush hour. Street cars and augomobiles are piled behind one another by the hundreds, and weav- ing in and out among them in an astonishing, uncontrollable mass are the darting, jumping, running and crawling figures of the pedestrians, moving along at speeds to suit their own fancies. Most of the motorists have now be- come accustomed to the short wait while the policeman is clearing his intersection. Now and then one will forget and dart ahead at the first sound of the whistle. He is promptly diverted to the right, however, and whenever he is close enough hears some unpleasant things about his cranium_ from the overwrought of- ficer. The demand of the policemen now is the right to control definitely pedestrian traflic as they do vehicular traffic.

This is the unwritten history of the ‘Turkish-British conflict. It looked for the moment, since the disputed territory was believed to be rich in oil, as if “oil was going to set gun- powder on fire.” After the exchange of @ few drastic notes both parties decided to submit the question of where the present boundaries should bo established to the league. The British contend that the Lau- sanne treaty disposed of all former treaties and that 'consequently the British and Turkish positions must remain those which existed on July 24, 1923, when the Lausanne treaty was signed.
