More Action on Peace
Appeal, Says Burian
Amsterdam. Sept. 24.—1n an inter
view given to a Berlin newspaper.
Baron Burian, Austro-Hungarian for
eign minister, said he was not sur
prised at the reception of his peace
note. Naturally he did not suppose
that the entente would straightway
declare readiness to enter into peace
negotiations.
"In a situation like the present,"
continued the minister, "it is some
times necessary to clarify things by
means of reagents. The note was
such a reagent. It has already pro
duced remarkable phenomena and
will do so still more in the near fu
ture.
"Very extraordinary, for instance,
was the remarkable rapidity of Pres
ident Wilson's reply. Clearly, Presi
dent Wilson wanted to anticipate the
other entente governments. He al
ways had the ambition to be a world
arbiter and has not abandoned that
ambition."
U. S. Losses by Submarine
Offset by Finished Ships
Washington, Sept. 24.—Deliveries
of completed vessels from shipyards
in the United States during July and
August. Shipping Board reports to
day show, were more than enough
to offset the submarine losses of
America since the beginning of the
war. Ships sunk aggregate 541,925
deadweight tons, while new ones put
in service in the two months aggre
gated 610,779 deadweight tons.
Total allied and neutral losses dur
ing the war have amounted to 21,.
404,913 deadweight tons, while new
allied and neutral construction had
totalled 14,247,825 tons, with ton
nage of enemy ships received by the
allies added to this total. The net
losses during the entire war period
is shown to be 3,362,088 deadweight
tons.
1,799 New Christian
Endeavor Societies
Washington, Sept. 24. Three
years ago the Christian Endeavor So
cieties of the South agreed on a five
year program which should seek to
organize 100 new societies. At the all
south convention of Christian En
davorer Societies, held at Memphis,
it was reported that 1,799 new so
cieties and more than 100,000 mem
bers had been gained in the first
three years of the campaign. It is
probable that 2,500 new societies will
be organized during the period in
stead of the original 1,000 sought.
This phenomenal growth is marked
with an evangelistic earnestness that
[ has done wonders for those churches
' in which the society is organized. '

COTTON PRICES
Thomas W. Page Named as
Chairman of Inquiry Into
Conditions of Crops
By Associated Press
Washington, Sept. 24. —First steps
looking to the fixing of prices for
standard grades of raw cotton were
taken yesterday by the government
in the naming of two committees,
one to investigate the entire cotton
situation, and the other to control
during the period of this inquiry the
distribution of cotton by purchasing
all of the staple needed by the United
States and the Allies at prices t obe
approved by the President.
Thomas W. Page, vice-chairman of
the Tariff Commission, was named
chairman of the committee of in
quiry which is to hold hearings over
the cotton growing states.
Before the War Industries Board

cuss the proposed price fixing. The

TRAFFIC RULES
MADE BY POLICE
Department Issues "Don'ts"
For Children, Pedestrians
and Children
New booklets governing traffic
and rules and regulations to insure
the safety of motorists and pedes
trians. were issued by the police yes
terday. They contain a number of
warnings to pedestrians and motor
ists, and "dont's" for children. Some
of them are as follows:
For Those Who Walk
Here are some of the specific rules
to help you save your life and prop
erty: .
1. Don't run aoross streets through
heavy traffic. The busiest man wastes
at least thirty minutes a day; why
risk your life to save flvs minutes
crossing the street?
2. Cross streets at crossings only.
Watch for the policeman's signal. He
is always willing to help you.
3. Never attempt to cross a street
with a bundle or umbrella over your
head, or reading a newspaper. Either
hides oncoming vehicles from your
view.
4. Never jump off a moving car.
Wait for it to stop and then look
out for traffic.
5. Stand still if you get caught m
a traffic jam. It may save your life.
6. Children suffer the heaviest toll
of deaths because they are the most
reckless.
Dont's For Children
Here are the dont's for children:
1. Don't play in the roadway.
2. Don't play in the street. Play
on the sidewalk or on nearest play
ground or nearest lot.
3. Don't roller skate in the streets.
4. Don't chase a ball across the
streets.
5. Don't hitch on automobiles,
trolleys of wagons.
6. Don't coast where trolleys or
autos go.
7. Don't play around autos or
touch any of the levers
8. Don't touch wires at any time
or plaee.
0. Don't fear the pallcemen. They
will help and protect you.
10. Don't run behind a standing
trolley oar; there may bo another car
or an auto approaching on the other
side.
You Wl Drive
The tips to drivers are as follows;
1. Don't Imagine you are within
your rights if you go at the maxi
mum speed allowed by law. You
must not endanger the safety of oth
ers.
2. Your responsibility doesn't end
with the honking of the horn when
others are in your path.
3. Your automobile may be under
control, but how about theV-- her fel
low's? He may be a crazy mati. You
don't know.
4. Be sure your brakes are right
and your steering gear is true before
you leave your garage.
5. Use tire chains on wet or slip
pery pavements; they will help you
keep your car under perfect con
trol.
6. Go slow, passing children or ve
hicles, around corners—approaching
crossings.
7. Never leave a motor vehicle un
attended without shutting off the
power and applying the emergency
brakes. *
8. Don't stop more than six inches
from the curb.
9. Don't keep the car moving when
fire apparatus is approaching in
either direction—get close to curb
and stop.
10. Don't stand or move two or
more abreast. •
11. Don't allow a smoky exhaust.
12. Don't allow muffler cutout
open.
13. Don't allow number tags to be
come defaced, greasy, dirty or hid
-1 den from view. They should always
be parallel to the axle, and easily
read.
14. Don't allow inexperienced per
sons or children under sixteen years
of age to drive your car.
15. Don't forget that the traffic of
ficer regulates traffic. Assist him by
always giving signal with hand.
16. Don't resent the traffic officer's
directions—he is doing his best to
prevent accidents.
17. Don't overlook the rights of
the pedestrian—his life is just as im
portant as yours.
18. Don't take things for granted
SEPTEMBER 24,1918.
—prepare for the unexpeoted.
19. Don't endanger your position
In tho community by disregarding
thoeo suggestions—public sentlmont
U against accidents.
20. Learn the traffic rules and reg
ulations and always signal to the of
ficer on the corner In which dlrectton
you are going.
21. Police whistle signals shall In
