TREASURY CORNE OPENED TO TRAFFI Fifteenth and New York Ave- nue Stanchions Removed for Safety Test. Washington’s traffic_bottle neck at Tifteenth street and New York ave- nue, which has been partially closed by stanchions for nearly eight years, was opened up this morning by traf- fic officials as an experiment to deter- mine whether it would be safe and feasible to permit north and south- bound traffic on Fifteenth street. After watching the try-out for an hour Col. R. C. Moller, Acting Traffic Director, said it was too soon to say ! how the plan would work, but he expressed one definite conviction, name! that if the new arrange-| ament s to be a success the fullest co-operation of pedestrlans will be ne e is being permitted to move h and south across the intersec- tion of New York from New White House, but eastbound traffic is not being allowed to cross the inter- section. _ Three extra policemen were sta- tivned there by Maj.

The test was not started until after fhe rush hour this morning, but will be continued through the afternoon >ush period and for several days Wiless confusion should develop. Both Col. Moller and Maj. Hesse ;r..nkl': stated that they had no idea ow the opening up of this busy in- tersection would work. but they said that, If possible, a freer use of Fif- ‘teenth str should be permittedy and 1hat the only way to find out whether 4§t can be done Is to try it in actual practice. “‘The success of the change largely @epends on how the pedestrians said Col. Moller. “If they within the cross-walks and en- vor to move with the traffic gnals, it probably will work satis. suctorily, but if the large number of yedestrians using that intersection take chances it will have a serious effect on what is being sought.” The traflic flow map made about a Sear ago of the entire city shows that spproximately 3,500 vehicles pass Fif- 7eenth street and New York avenue in the afternoon rush from 4 to 6 o’cilock. 3t has always been regarded as one ©f the most’ difficult trafftc points in Washington.

DAWES PLAN WINS FULL VINDICATION AFTER TWO YEARS (Continyed from First Page.) would not more than have kept the same families as unemployed persons. It is hoped that Portugal, which is without men and means for large scale colonial undertakings, may be willing to sell the territory. There is even talk of Germany working with Italy In a claim for mandates in the near future. The German budget is firmly bal- anced. Balaries of government em- ployes, while low, are not much worse than before the war. Relations be- tween German authorities and Dawes plan agents are cordial, often friendly. The Germans are furnishing the fuil- est information without reserve, and are beginning to see in the so-called Gilbert reports on German business conditions matter for domestic study. Agent General Gilbert’s optimistic pre- dictions_have been realized 100 per cent and his prestige is greater than ever. The discordant volces are chiefly those of the Communists and extreme Nationalists, who are united in consid- ering the agent general as Germany’s slave-driver, belleving that the carry- ing out of the Dawes plan can only be accomplished by complete impover- ishment of the German masses. The Nationalists even have implied that the number of railway accidents which have occurred recently have been due to the international railway management, which, by reducing the staff, drove the dismissed workers to despair. But it must be sald that the present wage tendency in Germany is upward and that serlous criticism of the Dawes plan still s awaited.
