\ PEDESTRIAN RULE 1S DECLARED LEGAL Eldridge to Ask Regulation. Corporation Counsel Holds ] Move Valid. Assured by the corporation coun- &el's office that a reasonable pedestrian fegulation would be legal, Trafic Di- rector Lldridge has decided to recom- mend one to the Commissioners early pext week. It is understood that the rule being @rafted would not compel a pedestrian o cross at an intersection, but would provide merely that when a person does cross at an intersection where there is a policeman or an automatic piznal light he shall obey the trafiic Bignal The trafiic director also is planning {u recommend that a two-hour park- ng limit be allowed at certain points gowntown, where the leaving of ma- thines for that length of time would %ot interfere with business. Where Rule Is Likely to Apply. It probable that the two-hour arking time will apply around the veral public parks in the congested Eection and at one or two other loca- tions where conditions are favorable €0 such a rule. At the present time there is a general limit of one hour ©on all parking within the congested one. B e memorandum Mr. Eldridge is how preparing for the Commissioners ®lso is likely to recommend that P Bireet and Dumbarton avenue, in Georgetown, be made one-way streets, ©ne eastbound and one westbound, be- cause street car tracks run only one say on each of those thoroughfares. Mr. Eldridge pointed out today that ® bud situation occurs when automo- diles are moving in both directions on ‘i street where only one street car arack is lald. With machines parked wt the curb it is difficult for an auto- mobile going east, for instance, to Pass street cars going west. Confer With Attorney Hart. Mr. Eldridge and his assistant, Col. 1% Moller, held a long conference with Assistant Corporation Counsel Rinsgold Hart on the subject of pedestrian regulation, and were ad- ~ised that the law department of the vity government believed it would be legal to require pedestrians to cross policed intersections with the traffic ®ignal, just as vehicular traffic is re- nuired to do. This would not be a ce In the sense in which that is understood. Previous vears ago to regulate fordin term usually efforts made edestrians applied to the entire Dis- rict of Columbia and were intended o prevent a person from cro treet except at the corner. Officlals ing a of the traffic office indi- that they do not intend Bt this time to undertake to prevent people from erossing in the middle of B block, but they pointed out that under present regulations vehicles ;:-A\'p the right of way over walkers etween intersections Utility of Signal Lights. When the automatic signal lights @re in use on Sixteenth street there nay be times of the day when the ¥@o" sign would be facing Sixteenth ktreet and vet mno traffic would be passing the Intersection. It is likely that the pedestrian regulation will be so phrased that a person could cross as long as he or she is not cut- ving through a lane of traffic that is moving fn accordance with the signal light. In other words, traffic officials Eay they intend to make the pedestrian regulation as reasonable as nossible und at the same time require those aviio walk to cross policed Intersections swhen traffic s moving with them in- sicad of against them. Warehouse Contract Let. A contract was awarded by the Commissioners today for the con- Struction of & warehouse for the elec- #rical department of the District gov- ernment on the southwest corner of Twalfth and D streets southwest, at g cost of $8.895.

They will continue daily. EDITED BY BURTON J. HENDRICK. (From Ambassador Page's Memoran- dum Book.) December 31, 1916. I write this memorandum (for my- self only) with the hope of revising it by the light of subsequent events, and I write it only to record my pres- ent fear, which I hope to have reason to abandon. i If. at the befinning of Germany's onslaught on_clvilization—when Bel- glum was invaded, or, later, when |the Lusitanta was sunk—the Presi- |dent had given a sign or spoken a word the whole American people and American sentiment would have called Germany down quick and short and gone to war if necessary. But the President had silenced and suppressed them by his making the artificial quality of neutrality a posi. tive virtue and quality. He sup- pressed discussion as far as he could. This made hay for the Germans in the United States, and Bernstorff took command (to a large degree) of Amer- ican sentiment, He threatened and the President feared. It has been a regime of fear of the Germans ever since—see the much greater deferenc of tone shown in Notes to Ger than In Notes to Great Britain. Thus Bernstorff_has waxed more and more daring and more and more influential, —This distant fear of the Germans and fear of war causes the President’s peace movement. 1f the war goes « till Spring he fears that the Germans will make good their threat to sink all ships_(including American) that come to England. Hence the extreme desire for peace now. 3.—T predict that the President can- not be made to lift a finger for war— until the Germans should actually bombard one of our ports. On February 3 Bernstorft was in- formed that his career in the United States had_severed diplomatic rela- tions with Germany. TO_THE PRESID London, Februa Secretary of State, Washington, D. ¢ 5595.

Mrs. Page thinks this teiegram too impersonal. So it may be, but T am afraid to let myself go. PAGE. Step Delayed Two Months. Two months were to pass, however, before President Wilson took the irrev ocable step. They were months filled moments. During this period Ps kept something that resembled « diars at least he jotted down, now and then, the thoughts that each succeeding crisis_inspired. Much as Page wel- comed the breach with Germany, and the President over that event, the old doubt as to Wilson's constancy still prevalled. The President’s reluctant and wavering course—as Page regard ed it—had left the belief, which he never abandoned, that Mr. W not understood the issues of the war, or that he persisted in misunderstand ing them; that he placed the ullies and the central powers on the same moral level; that he looked upon rman with an Indulgent eye; that even after dismissing Bernstorff he sought every conceivable way to keep the United States out of the war. only an overwhelming public s ment at last forced him into the con- flict. | After the German geclaration of u If you are looking for A New Brick Semi-Detached Home With 6 Rooms, Bath and Built-In Garage for $8,450 SEE 6321 9th St. N.W. with exciting events and humiliating | sincere as were his congratulations to | son had | and that | nti- | Desire for Decisive Action by Wilson. - i {whips Up Duties.

Page’s mind in the face of these events are mirrored in his her haphazard and informal jottings. They are merely the expression of fleeting and ing moods; but the period itself s a varfable one; and these para- graphs have a gre historic and psy- chological interest as portraying what was undoubtedly the state of the nor- mal American mind during that great of doubt and of hope. i Page notes his approval of the President’s act, when they justify such approval, and the agerness with which he ches for any sign of positive action, are not their least characteristic features. Tells of Submarine Menace. February 25, 1917 It is a_momentous time. First the submarine menace! The submarines re destroying shipping at an ap- palling rate. The percentage of lost of all the ships afoat—is 1, of course; and the hopeful men are always reminding us how small This, to give comfort to the opulation.” But there is a menace, ertheless—a_very grave menace. he 1 number of ships that can carry food—that can be spared from war uses—makes this percentage-com- fort smaller than it seems. On the other band, nobody knows, outside the admiralty, how fast the navy is capturing or destroying the subina- rines.
