of nine-tenths of / per cent in
the cost of living in the United
States during the period from

The only increase was in house
rent, the cost of light remaining
the same during this period.

DEFENSE NIGHT
PROVES BIC
SUCCESS
Army Officers Sound Keynote
OF Big Nationwide Demon
stration On Sept. IL

Representatives from the various
army organizations explained the
Plans and need for National De.
Tense Day, September 10, at the
central High School stadium last
night. The speakers were Major J.
FRANKLIN Bell, engineer commits.
sioner Of the District, General
Anton stephen, in command OF the
national guard units OF the District,
and Lieutenant Colonel John Scott,
executive officer of tho Washington
units OF the Organized Reserves.
Colonel Scott, struck the keynote
OF the evening, when he said: THE
citizen soldiers of the District of
Columbia are proud Of their com.
missions and service in the army
OF the United States; they are in.
tensely loyal to their flag; the
greater number have proven their
love Of country by war service in
its defense; they hope to avoid war,
but know the lessons OF history:
they know we have always had
wars; and that human nature has
not changed since 1914; they hope
human nature will never so change
that red bIooded men will be un-
willing to fight for their country,
loved ones and liberty"
Major Bell explained that "the de.
Tense test is not a militaristic move
ment; it is the opposite. 1t is part
of the thoroughly considered plan
to provide for the. defense of the
nation without creating a large,
permanently armed force" ~
General Stephan appealed for
volunteers to bring the National
Guard up to full war strength. The
United States army band furnished
music for the evening. Moving pic.
lures of the air service were shown.
The citizens committee, under
whose direction plans for the OBJ.
servance of Defense Day are being
worked out, met in the District
building yesterday, to further discus
plans for the day.
The local demonstration will be
entirely in the hands of the civilian
committee, 1t was announced follow.
ing the meeting. The impression
has been expressed that the defense
test Is to be conducted by army
officials. The plan Is to have a
citizens committee handle the whole
affair, as they would In time of
actual war, when regular army Off.
GERS would be too busy to handle
local matters.
