ARE SOLD BY COUNTY
Prince Georges Issue to Provide for

Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
UPPER MARLBORO, Nd. Novem-
Der 3.-Bonds of $4,000 have been
sold by the Prince Georges County
commissioners to the Century Trust
Co. Of Baltimore. The proceeds will
be used for the concrete resurfac-
ing of the Edmonston road from East
Riverdale to the Branchville road.
The work is expected to get under
way in about 10 days.
Upon authority of last Winters
session Of the Legislature the county
commissioners sold $106.000 in bonds
to a Baltimore banking concern. the
proceeds Of which were to be used
bankers were averse to going
through with the transaction, their
attorneys holding that the act Of the
Legislature authorizing the bond is
sue for the work was invalid in that
the title to the bill did not. in ac.
cordance with law, fully explain the
purpose OF the bill. Upon the ad-
vice OF their attorney the county
commissioners decided not to try to
force the bankers TO go through the
deal.
However, the Century Trust Co.
has just agreed to buy all bonds
necessary for the work. a contract
| for which has been awarded at $94.-
900 by the State Roads Commission.
This company is confident that the
people of the Edmonston road Sec
ton are so anxious for the improve
ment that they. would not try to
block the work through legal techni.
calities and that in any event the
next Legislature would see that 1t
lost nothing.
AS soon as the bonds are delivered
to the purchasers and the money Is
received the work will go forward.
The road to be improved Is from
to 3 miles in length. Upon COM
pletion Of this stretch the EdmonstCn
| road. which is being talked OF as
possible parallel route to Baltimore
with the present Washington Balti-
| more boulevard. will be concreted
from the National Defense Highway
at Bladensburg to the Branchville
| road.

DAWES PREPARATION

Former Accountant General
RidicuIes Criticism of World

By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, November "a
vigorous defense Of the Dawes plan.
+, both as to it's fairness and its prac.
ticability. is made by George. P. Aud.
who was accountant general Of the
reparations commission and also
assistant to Owen d. Young. CO.
author. and first administrator, in
installing the plan in 1924. In his
book, 1.-THE Dawes Plan and the New
Economics" to be published tomorrow.
Auld ridicules the predictions Of j. M.
Keynes and other economists that the
plan will break down early in 1928:
f1outs the idea of Germany's incapacity
to pay: says American loans to Ger.
many should continue, and describes
the much discussed transfer problem
as "bugaboo."
The author says that the success Of
the Dawes plan Is dependent upon
public confidence in American invest.
ments abroad, and he opposes the
cancellation of reparations, asserting
that 1.-The only drain on Germany re.
sulting from the payment Of repara.
tions Is the drain on the German
taxpayer. There is no capital drain
whatever on a debtor country" Argu.
ments to the contrary, he says, are
meaningless.
The publishers describe Mr.. Auld's
book as the work Of an insider, in.
timately familiar with the subject,
and who deals with the whole problem
from a purely economic basis and with
full knowledge Of all the facts.

MussOlini is physically timid.

Mussolin is physically timid.
Every night he begged me to wait until the PAPER
came out, not to go home alone. He was afraid to
go out maceonpanied. When once asked him of
what he was afraid he answered nervously: 81 do
not know; of myself, of my shadow, of the trees,
of the dogs"
So used to stay with him until a. M, and go
with him to the doorstep Of his home. At first
asked myself why he always wanted me as a COM
panion, but discovered that he was much
ashamed of kis fear and above s he did not like to
confess it to any other man. One day Mussoin~
returned from tour of propaganda very i'll and
told me that he could not bear it any longer, that
for him it was ended because he was affected of
incurable disease. And he spoke to me of HIM
self with remarkable franlSness, though in decent
| advised him to go to medical
thority to be thoroly examined. On the morrow he
came very pale to the office accompanied by
doctor He told that he felt nauseated to have to
always smell of chloroform, that the doctor had
pnked him to analyse his blood and that he tainted
during the operation. | spoke to the doctor who
told he was at the head of clinic in Milan and
that he had cured several thousands of clients but
that he never came across man that demonstrated
so much physical timidty as Mussolini.
Another weakness in Mussolin, which indicates
the same nervousness and lack of decisiveness, is
his inability to say
Once with the same kind of excitement, he told
me that one Of our comrades would arrive that eve
ming and that he was the strongest man in the So
cialist Party This comrade wished that Mussolin,
directing member Of the party, approve pro-
position to be submitted to the executive committee
Mussolini did not approve il but did not wish for
the time being to say to this man and begged
me to say it to him. This comrade came at 1890

months afterward Bacci editor Of the "Avanti!"
sur organ at Milan, obliged to resign from
til" party The executive of the party assembled
in Rome and Mussoni was proposed for the editor
hp. Some objections were raised that he was too
irdivduastic and did not observe enough the party
discipline.
Before the affair was decided we had a separate
encounter and at dinner Mussoni told me that
he felt little disposed to accept this position so full of
responsibility But at the afternoon session he un-
cxpectedy declared to accept but on only one con-
dition, that / go to Milan with him to assist him.
This happened only a few minutes after we had
been to dinner, together, and during all that
time, he never spoke to me about it, Evidently he
meant to take me by surprise. / consented, having
considered Mussolini as weakling who was in need
of help and advice, and thought it my duty as a
socialist to aid him. But even though I considered
him weakling, ] thought he was loyal to the
party and convinced revolutionary, and even today
l believe that such his sentiments ut that
period In the editorial room worked beside Mus
solni several hours of the day and learned to know
him intimately.
His bad humor derived from the fact that he was
not in Milan willingly alone; ana obliged TO
have with him to share the responsibility
and this thing impressed me much che stronger
the more we together.
He spoke to of everything, and wished that
/ red every important article befaTe sending it 20
the press. He never spoke much 10 the other men,
bers of the directors and was reserved with them
and held them at q distance.
But he let himself be influenced easily.
Once-this happened the eve of a May Day.
He called me, agitated, to show article which
he had written against syndicalist who ATTACKED
him personally. This article had been written in
such violent form that told him that it did not

Day.
Mussolini, all agitated said that it was for him
a question of life death to redeem himself with
this comrade lie wanted to have his revenge now
that he was in position to do it because this>man
exposed himself by attacking gratuitously. Then
he quickly bid goodbye, adding that re was
going to leave for Switzerland on the LIST OF May.
Half an hour later he phoned me from the station:

not go. Do me favor not to let it pass"

San cents Is selling at a fair fig-
ure and Is. much cheaper than cot
ton at - cents. in Mr.. O'Neil's opin-
ion.
Tire prices are at the lowest
point they have ever been, based on
the price of rubber as it's selling
now" he said.
Despite the belief that there will
be a rubber shortage in three years,
Mr.. ONeil sees no immediate pros
pect for increased tire prices. How
ever. he does think that tire prices
will be higher next year. as he ex-
poets the price of crud rubber to ad-
vance.
The tire business as whole he
said. is good and manufacturers are
making money, although last year
they took a loss because of the
rapid decline in the price Of crude
rubber.
