September 10, 1s7l.-The extensive
street improvements In progress In the
West End Of the city under J. v. w.
vanderbufg and Henry Himber, con-
tractors. are being rapidly pushed for

ployed In the work.
The work on the streets south OF
Pennsylvania avenue and west Of, Seven-
tenth street is in accordance with plans
embracing entire changes OF grades and
an extension Of the system OF sewerage.
Seventeenth street is to be graded on
straight slope from Pennsylvania ave.
nue. to the canal, the depth OF the cut
in front of the War Department build
ings averaging about five feet. The por-
ton of this street between New York
avenue and G street will be Allied up to
make an easy grade up to the rising
ground at those points.
The sidewalk In front OF Winder's
building is to be extended into the street
narrowed on the west side. The side
walks below = street have been taken
up on both sides. and the filling-in ex-
tends from the fence Of the White lot

second street, also Eighteenth and
Nineteenth streets, are being graded by
Mr. Vanderburg. The cut through r

Enough.

GnOugn.
Enough" Is the word written over
the gate of mediocrity. It Is o narcotic
which has stilled many o. brain and
paralyzed many a will. Six walls. three
meals and one suit of clothes are
enough TOR ordinary people, II they
want 70 be ordinary. Enough Is not
A feast means more than mere food,
for 1t has the companionship OF genial
souls and the appointments Of a
banquet. 1t is as good as enough and
then some. for 1t has a great deal more
than food to 1t. Food alone has been
responsible for making civilized people
larger than primitive folks, who were
usually. dwarfs. Plenty Of food and
air and exercise has given us a genera
bunch like Statues of Liberty.
But the feast, which means for
thought as well as fodder for the body,
develops the brain and makes us think
and speak like real people. The cattle
get enough, but we human beings want
enoughneSs plus o feast. Those who
lack ambition or are satisfied with
themselves aren't the humdingers OF the
community. They are full OF. enough
ness.
The three "R's" were enough in an
earlier period of education, but the
world has grown since grandad was a
boy and we have to learn more than
three letters Of the alphabet. we are
supposed to get some education at
school. which will supply the enough,
but II we are wise weIl continue the
process Of self-education after school
Is out and we are out Of school. Yes.
we will do this If we believe that 1t
takes o feast of wit and wisdom to
make enough for the brain.
Nowadays there are all sorts of
schemes for seif-improvement but I'm
not going to advertise them. I will
say that there is probably a library
in your vicinity and Its books can
supply you with a feast of thought.
There are clever people you could
know and mingle with If you found
your present crowd too ordinary. Then
there are ideas in your own brain YOU
could cultivate If you would cut out the
ones that are just good enough to
make the grade.
Insist on more. than enough. A liy-
ing wage Is not the same as q culture
wage. A job isn't like a position, A
pal isn't equal to q friend. A pleasure
trip Is different from a Joy ride. The
low wage, poor Job, cheap companion
and silly ride are enough yet not suf-
ficient.
You want the feast. It means your
well-being, the development Of body.
brain, character, taste. Only q feast
is really enough.

The All-America Anti-Imperialist
League has issued the following
statement calling upon American
workers to stand shoulder to shoul-
der with the revolutionary Haitian
masses:
Support the Negro masses of Haiti
against Wall Streets war of in
vasion and conquest!
"Again the bayonet of American
imperialism is plunged into the
hacked and SCARED body of Haiti.
The heel of the marines has been on
her neck for nearly Is years. Her
independence has become a coarse
joke of imperialism. Her wealth has
been Systematically plundered. And
at every sign of restiveness, the ma
rines standing over her, pinion her
with their weapons more cruelty
than before.
"Nowhere throughout the domain
of world imperialism is there more
vicious tyranny than that maintained
on the island of Haiti by the imperi-
ally designated "High Commits

rupted native servitors and the bru-
tai menace of his, or rather, Wall

N Y Communist Party
Mobilizes Against
Imperialism

This afternoon at 1.15 all work
ers are called by the Communist
Party, New York District, to join in
big mass demonstration in front
of the Federal Building at Park
Row, corner of Briadway.
The demonstration is called to pro-
test against the reign of terror set
up in Haiti against the workers and
peasants, and the descending of a
squadron of warships on China in
order to defeat the growing revolt
in the Yangtse Valley apd in the
south of China. Following on the
series of splendid meetings held last
night, it is expected that many
hundreds of workers who have
hitherto not participated in such
demonstrations will now join, there
by increasing the protest which will
be voiced there.
Ia a statement issued last night
by the Communist Party through its
Department for Agitation and Pro-
paganda workers are urged to be at
the steps of the demonstration few
minutes before its opening so that
the organization Of the meeting will
proceed with all expediency. Work
ers organizations are urged to come
with the banners of their organiza-
tions and to have representatives
chosen to speak at the meeting.

ON ANNIVERSARY
Fought Hot Battle in

Marking Gains Empty
No Permanent Result
from Bribery
(WireLess bN Inprecorr)


SHANGHAI, Dec. 13.-The sec
ond anniversary of the Canton So
Wet, saw armed workers demon
strations, which wer edefeated by the
police.
A pitched battle was fought be-
tween the workers and police near
the Canton police headquarters, in
which forty persons were killed.
The workers fought with rifles
and manufactured bombs. Masses of
leaflets in both English and Chinese
languages were distributed through
out the Canton area.
SILVER BULLET VICTORIES.
SHANGHAI, Dec. 13.-Because of
two major facts, the victories" of
the Marking government" now be-
ing broadcast are to be discounted as
far as such claims infer a cessation
of war and a new "stabilization."
While reports from Canton do in
dicate that the "Ironsides" of Chang
Fa-kwei have been repulsed, the
victories" reported from the Pukow
area across the Yangtze from Nan
king, and the alleged "hemming in
and checking" of Tang Sheng-chi in
Honan, if having any basis, in fact,
are to be accounted for as "silver
bullet" victories, namely, bribery of
the opposing militarist generals by
Chang Kai-shek with new funds
supplied by American imperialism.
The first principal reason, then,
why such victories" of Marking
must be "loyal" to one side of the
fight between the "Americanized"
generals led by Chang Kai-shek and
the general whose chief financial
hacker is the Japanese-British bloc.
If these are bribed today by Amer
lea to stop fighting, tomorrow they
will renew fighting to force new
bribes, and mo settlement" can take
place without a settlement" be-
tween American Imperialism and its
rivals, which is far from possible.
Secondly, no Settlement" between
imperialists and their militarist
tools will or can settle the burning
problems of the workers and peas
ants, and the swelling wave of peas
ant revolution in central China, with
the significant rising of armed
workers at Canton, show that the
workers and peasants revolution is
on the order of the day.
