WARSAW, Poland, June 10.-Roman
Dmowski is the man most talked of
in Poland as a possible successor to
Marshal Pilsudski, should the die
tator falter.
Dmowski heads a sort Of Fascist
movement whose policy in regard to
the Pilsudsl<i government is one of
"watchful waiting"
There is parallel between the lives
of Dmowski and Pilsudski. Both par
ticipated actively in politics in their
early youth and had to interrupt their
university studies on account of Rus

and after forcible sojourn in Russia
emigrated to Western Europe to set

40 ACRES ORDERED
USED FOR STREETS
Condemnation Proceedings
Are Sanctioned in Walter
Reed Hospital Area.

Condemnation of approximately 40
acres of land for the opening and
widening of streets in the vicinity of
the Walter Reed Hospital was ordered
today by the District Commissioners
upon the recommendation of Melvin
G. HaZen, District surveyor. This is
the largest and most expensive con.
ever approved at one time
by the Commissioners.
The area involved in the condemna-
ton lies south of the Walter Reed
Hospital reservation and is bounded
by Georgia avenue on the east, Rock
Creek Park on the west, Military road
on the south and the hospital reserva-
ton on the north. The opening of
in this territory will not pro-
vide a traffic artery through the
Walter Reed Hospital reservation, as
both Thirteenth and Fourteenth
will stop at the south line of
the reservation. A bill which failed of
passage in the last Congress would
have enabled District officials to carry
Fourteenth street through the reser-
Yation. s....
Will Assist Traffic.
The condemnation proceedings will
be instituted to procure land for the
extension and widening of Thirteenth
street between Piney Branch road and
the south line of the Water Reed Hos
pital reservation; the extension and
Of Fourteenth street between
A road and the south line of the Wal
ter Reed Hospital reservation; the
extension of Colorado avenue between
Montague and Thirteenth streets; the
extension and widening of Nicholson
street between Thirteenth street and
A road; extension Of Concord avenue be-
tween Georgia avenue and Seventeenth
street; extension of Peabody street be-
tween Georgia avenue and Fourteenth
street, extension of Quackenbos street
between Georgia avenue and Thlr-
teenth street, opening Of Fort Drive
between Thirteenth and Sixteenth
streets, extension and widening OF
Sheridan street between Georgia ave.
nue. and Thirteenth street, opening OF
Tuckerman street between Georgia
avenue and Thirteenth street, exten-
sion of Van Buren, street between
Georgia avenue and Fourteenth street,
extension and widening of Piney
Branch road between Fort Drive and
Georgia avenue, and the extension of
Luzon avenue between Thirteenth
street and the south Aine of the Wal
ter Reed Hospital reservation.
The development of the area in.
volved in the condemnation, Mr.. Ha-
zen explained, has practically stopped
at Montague street, for the reason that
the various streets mentioned could
not be acquired by dedication. on ac-
count of the small holdings and i'm
provements within the lines of the
streets. The surveyor believes that
the opening and widening of the
streets through this section will be a
tremendous boom to the area and at
the same time provide additional traf-
tic arteries for the rapidly developing
territory to the north and in Maryland.
