SCHOOL FUNDS
INADEQUATE

Arlington county school off
cials will be forced to borrow
money to open the public schools,
on September II, it was learned
today.
Enrolment at the various
schools will be far in excess OF
other years, school officials esti-
mate. The number of children
already examined at the various
preschool clinics of the county
is unusually large, they say, and
preparations are being made for
the care of the new students.
It was thought at first that
the State allotment of funds
would be received in Arlington
county in time to prepare for
the opening of the educational
institutions. However, Richmond
sources say the State funds will
not be available until November.
In the meantime, the school
board, it was understood. will
be forced to seek aid from the
county commissioners. The treas
ury of the county is at present
low.

5 WELLS SHOW
(. WATER loss

The drought conditions that
have recently existed in northern
Virginia has attracted attention
to the records of water levels that
are being obtained in five obser.
vation wells in Arlington and
Fairfax counties through CO.
operation between the U. S. Geo
logical Survey and the Virginia
Geological Survey.
Four of these wells are equipped
with automatic water-Stage re-
corders, and the other is meas
ured weekly.
One of them has been equipped
with an automatic recorder since
July, 1928; two others have been
under observation since the sum-
mer of 1881.
Pronounced rise in the water
levels in the winter of 1882
and especially in the spring of
1882 shows that during this
period there was abundant re-
pleniShment of the ground-water
supply, apparently overcoming
the exceptional depletion caused
by the severe drought of 1890.
Since about June l, however,
there has been a general and
rather large decline in the water
levels, showing that there has
been little or no recharge during
the present summer.
Because of the dry condition
of the soil there will be no
further recharge until consider
able rain has fallen, and prob
ably there will be further lower
ing of the water levels this fall.
However, in all three of the
wells that have been under
observation in the last two years
the water levels were considerably
higher on September l, 1882,
than on the same date in 1881.
With respect to ground-water
storage the present situation is
therefore favorable as compared
with the situation in 1881, as
well as that in 1880.

OFFENS|VES
Sen. Swanson, Rep. Byrnes,
J. F. Costello Open Guns
On Coming Campaign

With the Labor Day holiday
over, and presumably most of
the hot weather behind them,
Democratic politicians here
will start three offensives from
Capital firing-posts this week.
Senator Claude Swanson of
Virginia, newly ly-elected chairman
of the Democratic Senatorial
Campaign committee; RepreSen-
tative Joseph w. Byrns of Ten
nessee, chairman of the Demo
cratic Congressional Campaign
committee, and John F. Cos
tello, Democratic national COM
mittee man for the District OF
Columbia, will be in charge, re-
spectively, of the three campaign
headquarters.
Send Out Speakers
Operating from Washington,
somewhat independently of the
national organization in New
York city, Senator Swanson and
Representative Byrns face the
task of electing a Democratic
Senate and House for the Sew
enty-third Congress. They will
send speakers and literature into
all doubtful States and districts.
Campaign funds are short this
year, as compared to previous
years, but with the aid of Volun-
teer assistants Swanson and
Byrns expect to put up a spirited
fight, nevertheless, for the next
60 days.
The Senate is now tied as be-
tween the two major parties,
with one recent Republican
vacancy and one Farmer-Laborite.
In the House, the Democrats
have a Democratic Speaker and a
slight majority of half dozen.
National Committee Man Cos
tello, the Central Democratic
Committee of the District, and
the Young Mems Democratic
Club will begin holding rallies
here this week and there will be
anywhere from one to three per
week until November.

The staff of The washington

We have been scooped and by
our assistant city editor.
1t seems that this same assist.
ant city editor, Frank Smith, was
married December 80 last year
to Eleanor Wilson. dramatic
critic of the Washington News.
He had told us he was to be
married yesterday. We we're feel
ing kinda sore that we hadn't t
been invited 70 the wedding but
we were taking it peacefully and
then he dropped this on us.
With a few comments on our
news gathering ability, too.
The ceremony took place at
the Episcopal rectory La Plata,
Md, the Rev. Harry Bogart Off
ciating. Thomas Novel;, who
covers Princess Georges county
for The Washington Times, was
the only attendant, and witness.
And until today he was the only
member of the staff in on the
story.
Mrs. Smith (Eleanor Wilson
still to us) is the daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. David Edward Will

Mr.. and Mrs. Smith are now
on their belated honeymoon.

13,500 IN FALL
! ENROLMENT
! EXPECTED
Nicholas 0rem, Head, Finds
No Need For Salary Cuts;
/ Other Economies in Force

A record-b d-breaking enroll
ment of approximately 13,500
students is expected by Mich
Olas Orem, superintendent of
Prince Georges county public
schools, when the county
schools open tomorrow.
Mr.. Orem, who came to Wash
tngton today to attend the pre-.
school meeting of the county
teachers at Eastern High School,
is optimistic over the prospects
for the coming year.
Wait for Their Money
Depression problems, he said,
however, will be greater this year
than last. The rural communities
of the county are chiefly inter.
ested in tobacco and the growers
are not paid for their crops until
the year after they ere produced.
They will be effected this year,
therefore, by last seasons drought.
Mr.. Orem believes, however,
that the individual communities
will be able to care for their un-
dernouriShed and improperly
clothed children.
The entire treasury of the
county school teachers associa-
ton has been turned over to the
attendance officer, Miss Cathleen
Shears, to purchase shoes, etc.,
for needy children.
Schools Combined
Four one-room schools have
been abolished in the county
since last year. Increased bus
facilities have enabled the author
tiles to combine the four schools
In one.
There are, however, 16 one
room schools remaining which,
Mr.. Orem believes, can be de-
creased during the coming year.
Says Mr.. Orem:
"We do not feel it will be
necessary to cut our teachers
salaries. We are ecOnOmizing
along other lines and the teach
ers are willing to bear a heav-
Ter load rather than see a cut"

World Lost Ideals in

BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, February 26-Loss OF
idealism in the scramble for victors
spoils at the end of the World War is
presented as the handspring of the
worlds struggles, in Years of Tumult.'
a historical review of II years, pub
lished here today.
Written by James H. Powers foreign
editor of the Boston Globe, the volume
is based mainly on dispatches Of that
newspaper, the Associated Press. the
New York Times, Chicago Daily News,
New York Evening Post, Baltimore Sun
and Brooklyn Eagle Like q good re-
porter, Mr.. Powers relies for his inter-
est on recorded facts, leaving the reader
to draw conclusions.
The Paris Peace Conference met. Mr.
Powers relates. under agreement to be
guided by Wilson's IA points 1t was
upon that basis that Germany had
surrendered and agreed to an armistice.
League Of Nations, was salvaged from
marked the negotiations.
Ignored Vital Issues.
The treaty failed to settle the Rus
sian. Austro- Hungarian and Turkish
problems, it avoided the Balkan ques-
tions and ignored the claims of China
to Shantung, taken by Japan from the
Germans.
Even before the conference got
down to business, Great Britain elm
mated freedom OF the seas" from its
deliberations. Instead of removal of
economic barriers" new trade hurdles
were set up. For "disinterested set
tlement of colonial claims" there was
substituted the old imperial adage of
dividing spoils among the victors;
disarmament was put off
Instead of establishing Poland Gin
habited by indisputably Polish popula-
tions," Mr.. Powers states. q country
was built up that included territory
which could by no possible distortion
of fact fall within that pledge The

Of war.
Few Pledges Fulfilled.
About the only pre-conference pledges
which were fulfilled, the book states,
were annexation of Alsace-Lorraine to
France and the evacuation of Belgium,
with restoration Of her devastated dis
tricts.
The masses everywhere, at the end
of the war, were looking for broaden
ing of the electoral franchise, a wider
recognition of the rights of the workers
and acceptance of labor organizations
as necessary for evolution of more
equitable society. But even at the mo-
ment the treaty makers of Paris were
assuming that yesterday could be en-
throned," this singleness of purpose was
cut three ways
Three belts of policy evolved, in Mr..
Powers presentation. Drawing a line
north and south along the Western
borders of Russia and another about
midway in the Atlantic. he sees in one
belt the Russia of the Communist revo-
luton, in the second the social de-
mocracy of Europe battling both "a
right and left" and in the third
the United States, suspicious of a
social movement in Europe which it did
not understand and violently opposed to
the whole conception of life embodied
in the handiWork of Russian Com
munists"
Left Stereotyped Past.
This division, he says, was important
because at the moment Japan and
China In the Orient; India in MidAsia,
Turkey and Egypt in the Near-East were
feeling their ways from stereotyped
past although none was ready to make
up its mind just where it wished to go.
He adds that while all these contend
ing forces were pulling at cross pur-
poses, the League of Nations was
struggling against disunion, treading
rocky road toward disarmament but
meanwhile dabbling in all sorts of sub
jects possessing international angles.
The United States, emerging from
1918 still stepped in splendid isola-
ton" and considering the epic in France
as nothing more than a great crusade,
found herself drawn toward the vortex
of the international whirlpool. Yet
Washington persisted in sending .un-
official observers" to Europe and in
holding that the Americans who framed
and administered the Dawes and Young
plans were acting in only private and
personal capacity.
But the 1929 worldwide economic
crisis jolted this concept and Mr.. Powers
submits this country as finally recogniz-
ing that abroad" means something
connected with stability.
