Poland Plans Attack on Russia.
A semi-official journalist of the
Roumanian government. M. Bak-
albaska, wrote the following in
one of the most important news
papers of Roumania on the 2nd
of October:
"The preliminary contact be-
tween Poland and Roumania has
been established. Our task will
be to make a frontal attack upon
Russia and to hold up her forces
until the arrival of the forces of
the Great Powers. AS we shall
be numerically at disadvantage,
we need at all costs very much
war material" - Marcel Cachin.
From speech of Communist mem
ber of French Chamber of Depu-
ties, Dec. 4, 1928.

minded the association that the gov

G. street southwest between Ninth and
Tenth streets. Mr.. Topham traced Mr..
Shepherds educational life and his
progress through public office to the
governorship and finally to his death in
Botopilas, Mexico, September II 1902.
The review of Gov. Shepherds life
and the presentation of his picture
called for personal "reminiscences by
members of the association. DR.. Sunny.
recalling that when he first came to
Washington Pennsylvania avenue from
the Capitol to Georgetown and Seventh
street as far north as L street were
the only paved thoroughfareS in Wash

determination to launch the Capitals
development. tried to end the operation
of railroad trains on the city's streets.
Railroad Tracks Torn Up.
"Gov. Shepherd told me one day." DR..
Sunny began, that he wanted me to
have a force of so men down at Penn
sylvania avenue and First street the
first thing the next morning. We were
there and after we waited little while
for train to pass we began tearing up
the tracks"
It was recalled also that similar
tactics were used by Gov. Shepherd in
removing the old Northern Liberty
Market from its site in the middle of
the right-of-way of Seventh street in
the block now occupied by the Public
Library. Gov Shepherd simply ordered
force of men to attack the structure
and tear it down with no ceremony or
announcement of purpose. The aSso-

Gov. Shepherd ordered streets cut
through. hills leveled and valleys filled
in people were angered because they
failed to see beyond the fact that their
houses were left perched high on earth
banks or deep in gulleys where road
ways had been filled in to avoid ravines.
They cited with pride Washington's
straight, practically level streets of to-
day as the direct result of Gov. Shep-
herds vision.
Mr.. Topham presented pictures of
three mayors of Washington and the
son of a fourth, the gifts of Mrs.
Shepherd. The mayors portraits were
those of Joseph Gales. William Winston
Seaton and James Berret. The 9TH

the erection of hospitals during the
Civil War to prevent the churches from
being used to house the sick and
wounded and thus halt worship. Mr..
Wright recalled seeing frame structures
built on the south side of l street
near Second street and New Jersey ave-
nue.. where thev remained for years
after the Civil War.
''I was quite a visitor at the hospitals,
carrying hot soups and delicacies my
mother had prepared for the soldiers, ="
Mr.. Wright said.
after the frame hospitals were re-
moved. residential hcnes were built on
the lots, with the exception Of one lot
on which was built the Seaton School" !"
Mr. Wright continued "On the north
side of K street between North Cap
itol and First streets other frame
buildings we're erected by members of
the churches to prevent the use of
the churches for hospitals. as at that
time the Jewish Synagogue. on Eighth
street, was occupied as hospital
and other places of worship had been
taken"
Mr.. Wright recalled seeing men at
work one Sunday ON a structure to
save st. Aloysius Church. at North
Captol and I streets from hospital use.

declared:

widened the creek and made quite a
swimming pool. In some places it was
six feet deep. They used to catch us
boys and pitch us in the creek"
The boys had their innings, how
ever, for, according to the recollection
of Mr.. Wright, when the troops evacu-

used to raid the abandoned supplies
of cartridges. They used the powder
in their cannon on holidays and melted
the lead slugs for fish line Sinkers.
