However, I did drift into uneasy

I wondered what little Marcel had been

Lorn listened politely, but without

extremely trivial and fanciful by the

it was probably q policeman somewhere,

very cautiously, door or two near my

cavities, and the air that rushed to
meet me was cold and stale and had
that peculiarly musty. dank smell of
rooms that are very old and have been
empty for a long time.
Moreover, the smell Of tobacco
smoke was much fainter here-was in
deed so faint that was not sure it

It puzzled me so much that I ex-

it. but thinking still that there might

TAWSE CRITICISM
PUT BEFORE BOARD
Many of Accusations Against
Barnard Already Known
to Officials.

A letter from A. C. Tawse. former
superintendent of the District Reforma-
tory at Lorton, rejecting upon the ad-
ministration of Capt. Morris M. Bar
nard as superintendent of penal in
stitutions, was turned oyer by the
Commissioners to the Board of Public
Welfare today for investigation and
report.
Many of the statements, however, re-
fer to matters long known by both
boards. Barnard is accused, for in
stance, of having two Sons-in-law on
the District pay roll. One of them E.
Allen Green. was a District employe
four years before Capt. Barnard himself
was appointed, and later married one
Of Barnard's daughters. He Is in
charge of machinery at Lorton.
Called Good Machinist.
He is a good machinist," said Bar
nard, when told of Tawse'S letter.
When he married my daughter
didn't think that was sufficient reason
for firing him" The other son-in-law,
C. O. Thurman, in charge of the in
stitution's poultry farm. had been en-
ployed four years before marrying an
other of Barnard'S daughters.
Another charge was that Barnard
had two house servants paid for by
the District. Barnard said that he had
one house servant, Mrs. Myrtle Rousey,
who was paid $1,000. The other man
mentioned by Tawse. is groundkeeper
for the Lorton reservation, which in
cludes the grounds of the house where
Barnard lives. This. however. Is Dis
trict property, and $500 per annum is
deducted from Barnard's $4,000 salary
as rental.
Explanation About Boat.
Tawse said a 4; trict employe was
used to build a motor boat in which
Barnard took trips up and down the
river. But Barnard said that this
boat, built in the institutions car
penter shop, was to replace another
which burned. He said that the en-
gine was bought after hearing by the
District Economy Committee, and the
boat is inventoried as Government
property. He said it is used as river
patrol for catching escaping prisoners
and also to take men back and forth
to the prisons fishing fleet which selnes
fish for the prisoners mess.
TaWse laid the outbreak at Lawton
recently to bad food, Of which he had
many times complained. Barnard said
the first complaint to reach him fol-
lowed the first outbreak there.
Barnard yesterday transferred the
second group of prisoners, Identified
with the recent troubles, to the Fed
eral penitentiary at Lewisburg, Pa.
This group of 26 men was taken by a
Department of Justice bus. Previously,
62 men were taken to the Federal penl-
tentiary at Atlanta.

British ship Leopard on the excuse that three
members of her crew were deserters from the
British frigate Melampus
There had been great negligence In preparing
the Chesapeake for sea and she was In no con-
dftion to resist the demands Of the commander
of the Leopard SO when Commodore Barron
cleared the ship for action, the Chesapeake fell
an easy victim to the broadsldes of the Leopard
and was forced to strike her flag after suffering
a loss OF IS wounded and three killed. Then the
Leopard sent a party aboard, seized the three
alleged deserters and made off while the dis
graced Chesapeake returned to Norfolk, Va.
Since this incident the Chesapeake had be-
come more and more an object OF dislike In the
navy. The sailors hated her and would not en-
list In her II they could help 1t. No officer would
serve on her decks II he could avoid 1t, conse-
quently she was differed by juniors who had to
take her because they could do no better.
No wonder then that Lawrence was dlsmayed
when he was assigned to the Chesapeake. He
begged to remain with the Hornet but his re-
quest was denied. So In May, 1813 he took COM
mand
Lawrence found the ship short Of officers and
those he had were very young. His first lieu
tenant, August Ludlow, was only twenty-one
and had never before served as first lieutenant
on frIgate His other officers were midship-
men serving az leutenants. His crew was large
ly made up of foreigners and one, a Portuguese
boatswaln's mate, was actively preaching dis
sensIon because the crew had not been paid
the small amount OF prize money due from the
last cruise.
SO IL must have been with considerable fore
boding that the young officer prepared to leave
Boston late In May, 1913. Outside the harbor 1t
was known that the British frlgate Shannon,
commanded by Capt Philip Broke, one OF the
best officers In the British navy, was lying In
wait for the Chesapeake Broke was chival-
rous man and he had written Lawrence letter
proposing meeting equal terms In any lati-
tude and longitude OF any time he might choose
during the next two months. Unfortunately this
letter never reached Lawrence.
So on June / the Shannon stood In toward
Presidents Roads, expecting an answer from
Brokes challenge Lawrence, however took the

beastliness of the bosses. Her father

The very fact that Hitler threw out

mar and cripple an otherwise excel
lent little study, which can still
serve to rally certain liberal forces
for their small auxiliary role as
temporary and unwilling aids of the
revolutionary working class, whose
destiny is to smash Hitler, and cap
italism in Germany with him.
No Mention of Communist Struggle
1t is this destiny which finds no
exception in Josephson's book. He
has not even word about one force
which is fighting Hitler in Germany.
the force without which all his acts
are an incomprehensible madness:
the Communist Party, which is lead
ing heroic and constantly more
powerful struggles, despite the ter
rifle cost.
He tells us in this booklet that
Fascism is the last stand of counter
revolution. and he concludes with
plea for a fight of all, even ''the
men with white hands," against the
menace of extinction to our free
institutions to all our civilization"
But counter-revolution does not
rise without revolutions entry upon
the order of the day. And reyolu-
ton does not rise among free in

might have brought to Europe a
lasting and glorious peace" There
1 is no Fascism yet in America, but
there is no lasting and glorious
peace-nor is there in France nor
England, those other centers of the
highest forms of capitalist cfvili-
/ cation.
The forms of barbarism Hitler
has made spectacular in Germany
are not unknown in the United
States. They are common in the
Pennsylvania mine regions; they
are common in Los Angeles, only on
smaller scale. They are developing
wherever the class struggle grows
sharp. They are the rule in parts
of Latin America, in China, in
India, in Poland, Italy, Bulgaria.
Roumania-they are only little
less spectacular.
Matthew Josephson and his read
ers must not be deceived that bloody
reaction is the property of Hitler.

Gus and lasting peace in Germany
