With reference to what appeared in yesterday’s issue conecerning the proce- dure of Patrclman De Sola iv holding up some of the vehicular traffic on King Street yesterday morning while giving preference to certain persons, District Chief Espersen tells us that no order was issued to the police to this effect, hut that he had instructed the men on best there to po itely request any larce trucks or noisy waggons to take gnother course, It was not the order against traflic which struck us so much but the deliberate dis- tinct.on shown between persons which certaimy reflects discreditably on the n.an guiity of it, and invites noedless eriticism of the po ice department. We want (o soe the policemen carryving out their orders fairly and sqaarely regardiess of per- sonality. It will gain for them that pub- lic respect and cooperation whieh will make for a safer and more law-abiding community, Crazy of Love and a trip to Porto Rico are the pictures to be sereened at the Christiansted Theatr® this evening and advertised in this issue.

Brussels, Aug. 27th.- The usefulness of exchanging diplomatic notes over the reparations question has been exhausted. The Allied Governments have compleied their study of the prcblem and the time has arrived for resumption of direct conversations botween the governments. These are the conclusions of Belgium’s reply to the latest note frem the British Foreign Secretary. The vreply covers twenty five typewritten pages. While not indicating a time or piace for the con- ference it advocates, the B=lgian Govern- ment expresses the hope that, 1n as murh as neither M. Poincare nor Mr. Baldw:in seems hostile to the idea, direct negotia- tions on tle question, which has been greatly clarified by the documents ex- changed, shouid be scheduled as soon as p.ssible.
