PARIS. France. October S.-The re-
cent succession of scandals in France,
while not causing acute manifestations.
has made public opinion nervous!y
suspicious. The opinion of nation
at war. particularly if the war has
lasted more than three years, is sensi-
tive to anything connected with the
national defense. 1t is reaction which
is sure sign of moral and physical
health. Any nation not reacting
against treason would be nation re-
duced by exhaustion to detection and
surrender.
The present nervousness is greater
because throughout three years of war
fare no previous cases OF intelligence
with the enemy had been revealed
until suddenly a series of affairs in
volving alleged treason surprised the
unsuspecting public.

Branch for Southeast Washington.

To this end our estimates contain a
proposed legislative provision making
fresh start on the development of
the branch library system by author

The trustees make a part of their
report and commend to the considera-
ton of the Commissioners, the board
of education and Congress, a report OF
the librarian, made with the approva!
of the library trustees to the Commits
sioners. which sets forth an elaborate
and complete tentative system of fu-
ture branch libraries and school library
stations. Without neglecting the still
incomplete development of the central
library, the library trustees heartily
favor this beginning of the systematic
upbuilding of suitably located branches
utilizing for this purpose the minimum
Of $4,000 remaining from Mr.. Car

new school buildings and in a reassign-

selected in accordance with a scientific
system of sectional distribution of
library facilities. The librarians re-
port outlines such a system. The library
trustees will cooperate earnestly with
the Commissioners and the board of
education to secure the necessary legis-

Plan Far From Realization.

A few months ago Dr. Bowerman
brought 90 the attention of the Commits
sioners the fact that although the prin-
ciple underlying this program had been
approved by all of the authorities con-
cerned, yet the plan itself seemed to be
almost as far from realization as ever
The reply of the Commissioners was to
request the librarian to submit list of
districts into which the District of Co
lumbia should be divided for library pur-
poses. The Commissioners also voted to
adopt such a list as schedule and an
nounced that whenever n public school
building is projected in a district that does
not have, but needs. a branch library, the
Commissioners would include in the esti-
mates for such school building a separate
estimate for providing a library room in
the building.
The librarians report submitted in
response to the Commissioners request
is comprehensive statement involv-
ing the entire future development of
the public library system of the Dis
trict and is based on conclusions ar
rived at as the result of DR.. Bower
mans thirteen years experience as
Washington's public librarian. In the
spring he visited fifty public school
buildings. including nearly all of the
suburban schools, and conferred with
many school officers and teachers and
the municipal architect, as we'll as
citizens. The librarian reports that he
found the school people hospitable and
in many cases enthusiastic over the
plan of having branches of the Public
Library in the school buildings.

Every ones dinner got cold in
Worms when Martin Luther, out
iawed, came to answer for himself
at the first Diet the Emperor Charles
V. held in that city in 1921. Every
body tried to get into the hall where
the Emperor heard him. He was the
idol of the German people, the fear
of the foreigners and the champion
of right.
The Doctors Disagree.
Luther had been communicated
the year before. Excommunication
not only barred from the Church
and the hope of heaven, but it also
made a man an outlaw and even
called on the faithful and the civil
authorities to put him out of the
way. Luther had defed the Pope
He affirmed that the Pope and even
the whole church might err, and
when they erred from the truth OF
Gods word their authority ended
He was forced to speak out this
logical conclusion of his ideas by n
debate, beginning on July 4, 1919,
