Roosevelt Tests
Shark Theory in
Dangerous Waters

President Roosevelt believes In
carrying out his theories to the
limit. even where it involves wad-
ing in shark-infested waters.
A member of the presidential
party, recently returned to WASH
ington from the Hawaiian trip
during which the President fished
in Bahama Island waters and In
the waters around lonely, iso-
lated islands far out in the Pa
cific, says the President, like DR..
William Beebe, underseas explor-
er, has a theory that sharks win
not attack a living human being.
The Houston, presidential cruis-
er, anchored off the uninhabited
Cocos Island, far out in the Pa
cific. Great rollers break across
the beach at Cocos and small
boats cannot land through the
surf. So the President, anxious
to land, asked to be carried
ashore, through water that has
the reputation, at least, of being
shark-infested. He is understood
to have told those who were to
carry him that it would be an
excellent opportunity to test his
theory that sharks will not at
tack a human being. The Presi-
dents theory, this time, was
found to be correct.

Consider the situation of an ex-
ceptionally able young engineer, with
Is years experience in his line. He
wanted job with the Housing Com
mission. He had civil service rating
and was war veteran and, there
fore, by law. entitled to priority. His
political pull was exceptional He
had the Endorsement of a cabinet
officer and several Of the most in
fluential Democratic leaders. He
could not have had more pull If Miss
Democracy herself had okayed him.
Yet, for ttDo Ueeks he trdmped
the corridor OF the mighty, unable
to get eDen any satisfaction, and
he is still tramptng.
1t only goes to show what chance an
ordinary fellow has to get a Govern
ment job when a man like that cannot
get on.
1t also shows confusion and ineffi-
cheney in the patronage set-up.
A high legal authority in the Gov
ernment recently received an offer of
a part-time job teaching law in a
part-time law school. He cannot
figure out whether 1t was intended as
a compliment to his legal acumen.
One Representative, who helped to
put through that bill permitting Con-
gressmen to borrow from Government
agencies, now wants to rent, TO a
Government farm agency, a large

here. Wise ones know that Mr.. Roose-

BANK ASSESSMENT
TEST SUIT PLANNED
Action to Be Taken Against One
Stakeholder of Potomac

A test suit to determine the liability
of stockholders of the Potomac Saw
ings Bank for a 100 per cent assess
ment on the s140 900 capital stock of
this institution soon will be instituted
by counsel for the banks receiver, it
was learned today.
This bank was chartered under the
laws of Virginia, where no double
liability is provided by State law on
bank stock.
The suit, it was learned, will be
filed against one of a number of
stockholders represented by Charles
v. INLAY. attorney. The receiver will
be represented by Angus w. Mclean
and Charles E. Wainwright, while the
controller of the currency is to be
represented by George P. Barse
This action will be resorted to in
order to get a court determination
of the liability of stockholders in q
test case, instead of filing a multiple
city of suits against a number of
stockholders.
The Potomac Savings Bank was one
of the 13 banks which did not reopen
after the bank holiday and which
later sold its prime assets to the
Hamilton National Bank, the rest of
the assets being thrown into receiver

GERMANY STARTS
ECONOMIC DRIVE
100-Day Campaign Begun
to Improve Nations
Trade Situation.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN, August 15.-The German
nation embarked today on 100-day
campaign to pull itself out of morass
of economic ills.
The purpose of the campaign is the
reduction in the amount of imports
needed and in its success or failure
lies largely the success or failure of
Germany's pressing trade and foreign
exchange problems. Trade figures for
the first six months of 1884 show
that imports increased 10 per cent
over the same period last year, while
exports have dropped IL per cent.
Grain Tariffs Lifted.
With the start of the campaign
there became effective also a decree
lifting prohibitive tariffs on grain i'm
ports, following a costly drought.
Germans are asked as a patriotic
duty to save all they cap-to watch
lest they use linwisely pieces OF rub
Der, paper, grain, foodstuffS and
metals; to conserve such things as
bristleS and to seek substitutes for
articles not produced in Germany.
These little articles. when put to-
gether, form big problems standing
in the way of Germany's becoming a
self-suf1cing nation, the people are
reminded.
The next hundred days is expected
to mean much in working out Ger
many's economic salvation, and that,
observers declare, is all of Germany's
immediate future.
Preferential Treatment.
As an aid in the fight to wipe out
the adverse trade balance, DR.. HAL
mar Schacht, acting head of the min
istry of economics, announced he
would give firms manufacturing for
export preferential treatment in fill
ing their needs for raw materials.
An organizing committee in charge
of the "hundred-day battle" has pre-
pared instructions to industrial man
ayers. These enjoin Germans ito
fight against heedlessness, against
faulty planning, against selfishneSs
and exaggerated demands for quality
this is the nub of the battle. Its
aim is increased industrial efficiency,
and thus the betterment of national
economics"

Meanwhile, our diplomats are Sc
cretely half glad the Far Eastern
cauldron is bubbling again.
They will not admit it openly, but
they have noted the Russians come
running to us every time the japanese
threaten. Thus it may now have
very beneficial effect on perplexing
debt problems which we now have
pending with Russia.
ROoseveIt's Agility.
The way President Roosevelt
squeezed himself shrewdly through the
Far Eastern difficulties during his
Hawaiian visit is causing his associates
to comment again on his political
agility.
One pittaA he avoided ,Das dug
delibe1 ately BY a iUel knoiDn Chi
nese political leader This politi-
cian left Shanghai for Honolulu,
announcing publicly that he tOds
going to see Mr.. Roosevelt. The
sensitive Toxic press played it up
big, suspectirg it spelled danger
for Jdpdn,d hn
When the Chinese arrived at Homo
lulu, he again announced he would
see Mr.. Roosevelt, and again the
Japanese press boiled.
The presidential party was fore
warned against the dangerous diplo-
matte possibilities of such q meeting,
and the Chinese politician was de-
licately, politely and firmly given the
run-around He never even got near
Mr. Roosevelt.
1t is now safe to relate that many
Of Mr.. Roosevelt's handy men were
worried about the personal danger
involved in his Hawaiian visit. They
feared some japanese Zangara might
decide to become human bomb and
explode himself all around the place.
Actually there ,ods not single
inside episode, during the uisit, in
DolUtng the safety of the Chief
Executive.
Indeed, some members of the presi-
dental party observed (probably with
some exaggeration) that there were
as many or more Japanese waving
American flags in Hawaii than there
were Americans.
The ways of government are hard
to understand.

should be included in the Govern
nent's decennial count of noses.
The new figure far exceeds the
count for the Crowded war days,
when Washington was overrun by
clerks and Government employees it
couldn't house. The actual number
for that period was estimated by Mr..
Truesdell as below the official figure
for 1920, when many of the wartime
workers had returned to the hinter-
land. The official Census Bureau
count for 1920 was 437,571. Ten years
later the official count was 486,869.
The gain in population, however,
does not advance Washington in its
rank among leading American cities.
In 1880 the Capital stood between
Buffalo, with 573,076, and Minnea-
polls, with 464,356.
While Buffalo and Minneapolis have
had a normal gain estimated on the
same basis as that for Washington,
the National Capital continues to
trail San Francisco and Milwaukee
and to outstrip New Orleans and Gin

What's What
Behind News
In Capital
Russia's War Scare
Explained in One
Word-Araki.
BY PAUL MALLON.

"HE origin of those recurrent
Russo Japanese War stories has
long been a diplomatic secret.
l. You may remember that the
Russians were very certain the
early part of this year that they
would be attacked in April. They
even massed troops in readiness.
1t can now be disclosed that their
information came from the japanese
themselves. The Russian AmbaSsa-
dor to Toxic last Winter was unable
to get any satisfactory information
concerning Japan's attitude from
Toxic officials, so he decided to go
directly to Gen. Araki, leader of the
Japanese militarists and the political
boss of Japan. He asked Araki di-
rectly if he thought war was immi-
nent.
TO his dmdzement, Arati said
that uar waS inevitable and that
it ,Uould start in April.
All information from other sources
confirmed this view, so the Russians
took Araki at his word.
Mars SuHerS Setback.
The story is being cited by eminent
Japanese authorities as proof that the
militarists do not always have their
way in Toxic Those who have had
experience with oriental diplomacy
may draw their own conclusions as to
ArakiS motives.
The incident, however. encourages
our best diplomatic authorities to be-
lieve that the current Russo so-Japanese
difficulties over the Manchurian Rail-
way are not a harbinger of immediate
war, but just little Oriental haggling
over price. Most competent authori-
ties here now believe an eventual
Russo japanese war is inevitable, but
they would be surprised If it comes
soon.
