CRISIS AT HAND
IN ARMS PARLEY
• Washington, Nov. 30.—The
•"5-5-3" nawal ratio and the
•long-debated problem of Shan-tung
today ushered the Wash-ington
conference into a ,pe-
Tiod of iniCTeasiing delicacy.
' Japan's formal request for
» "10-10-7" naval strength <as
•compared with the United
©tates and Great Britain was
token under consideration by
the naval "big three" with the
'American aitititude of deter-
•mined opposition remaining
•unchanged.
■ In her lates^ request, Japan
proposed to abandon entirely
the yardstick of existing
■strength and measure the
•new ratio on a basis of na-tional
security. Tinder that
IP Ian, her 10-10-7 ■ suggestion
•would be acceptable to neither
the United States nor Great
Britain.
•- The same difference were
discussed in the three-corner-ed
committee of .naval expert's
without result.
• Shantung, over which China
quit the Versailles conference,
got into the negotiations
through a-n offer of Secretary
Hughes and Arthur J. Balfour
to use their "good offices" in
helping Japan and China to
compose their differences.
The suggestion, accepted by-the
Japanese and Chinese, was
made after China had indicat-ed
htr intention to bring the
subject before the conference
proper, a course whtch appear-ed!
unwise t: ?ome of the del-egates
in view of the devious
ramifications of treaty obli-gations
affecting Shantung.
NEW TRAFFIC ORDINANCE
IS ADOPTED BY CODNCIL
PEOPLE ABE ADVISED TO STUDY
CAREFULLY ITS NUMEROUS
PROVISIONS.
ROTARIANS MEET
iRectpe for becoming familiar
•with the new traffic laws of Greens-boro:
First, secure a copy of the
recently enacted traffic ordinance,
which is published in its entirety in
this issue of The Patriot, then be
seated in a comfortable rocker, then
read every word of the ordinance.
A'Cter which it may be reread and
pondered; then IT may be clipped
from the .paper and. put in a place
where it can be frequently consult-ed.
Observance of these suggestions
may be the means of saving drivers
of vehicles a number of fines. City
officials state that the provisions of
the" ordinance will be rigidly en-forced.
It is^rovided that violators
of the ordiance shall he fined "not
exceeding $100 for each and ever*
offense."
City Manager P. C. Painter par-ticularly
directs attention to the
following provision:
"Horse-drawn vehicles from one-half
hour after sunset to one-half
hour.before sunrise, inclusive, shall
carry\at least one light on the left
side showing white 'from the front,
visible at a distance of at least 200
feet."
It is stipulated that vehicles shall
not be driven at a greater speed
than 15 miles per hour In the "con-gested
district" of the city, and not
greater than 20 miles an hour in
other sections of the city. The con-gested
district is specifically defined
in the ordinance which ppears else-where
in this issue of The Patriot.
Tt ai*o is provided mat trucks of
three-ton capacity or over shall not
exceed eight miles per hour in the
"congested district," nor 12 miles

Recommendations Jor many
sweeping changes are embodied in
the report submitted bo the city au-thorities
by J. L. Wickes, consult-ing
engineer with the Maryland Pub-lic
service comlseion. The recom-mendations
were read at the Mon-day
afternoon meeting of the city
council, but no action has yet been
taken.
Here are the questions pro-pounded
to Mr. Wickes, together
with his answers:
"1. Is it practical from the ope-rating
standpoint to eliminate one
of the tracks on Elm street between
Market and Buchanan? If so, will
you outline a practical schedule?"
"It is. The prinicpal use of
double tracks at this point is for the
passing of cars going in opposite
directions, and the traffic is not
heavy enough to otherwise Justify
it. This can be remedied in the
Fiilst, by (Cutting
Depot place through to Greene,
constructing a tracx through Depot
place to Greene and north to Mar-ket,
there to be connected up to the
fexdsting line with a switch. It is ap-preciated
that the opening of Greene
street is not completed at. tne pres-ent
time, but pending this and as a
temporary expedient, the Pomona
line could be made to terminate at
Market and Elm, and the Glen wood
line immediately north of the rail-road
crossing, both ot these linos

"2. In viiew of the present patron-age
of street cars and future pa-tronage,
do you believe that we
would be justified in allowing a
double track on Elm street between
Market and Churcu streets, as at
present proposed?" »_
"iMy observation of the patronage
of the street care is that instead of
further burdening Elm street with
car tracks some should be removed,
a spa«e of five blocks in the vi:in- at least until such a time as the
