JAPAN'S GROWING AIR CHAIN.

Aggressive energetic Japan, constantly conscious of the present and future needs of its 900oO- 900 population, increasing at the rate of 6500OO year now infiltrating Asiatic mainland as well as sprawlng than 500 relatively tiny islands announced yesterday according to Associated Press dispatches, that 1000 miles of airlines connecting its Pacific island possessions will be established
 One of the links in this air chain, reaching out from Tokyo is the Bonin Islands group, nearly 600 miles out in the Pacific, to the south and west Future plans call for linking of all Japanese possessions through air routes.
 The fact that Japan is going ahead bringing her relatively small possessions closer to the home land through air routes should prove significant impetus to the program of establishing consistent and continuous air routes between the vast Terri tory of Alaska, with its mighty resources and its strategical position in the internationally important North Pacific Ocean, and the cities of the United States

Russia claimed to have check mated the German invasion and it was reported. that two and one half German regiments had sur rendered near the river Bzura when caught with their backs to the river and faced by terrific artillery fire. In a statement bristling with threats, the German government denied rumors that Germany was favorably disposed toward a truce in the war of na- tions.
 Though details were withheld, news flashes contained the state ments that Germany had sustained the most severe defeat of the entire var at the hands of the Russian army in Poland. Brief reports stated that 50,000 prisoners had been taken and that the invasion along the Eastern front had been completely crushed.

SPECIAL SESSION
Ritchie Doubts Relief Fund
Can Be Raised Without
Assembly.
By a STAT Correspondent Of The Star.

ANNAPOLIS, Nd, June 5.-Indica-
tons that q special session of the
General Assembly will be necessary to
finance Maryland's share of the
States relief expenses during the
coming - months increased today as
Gov Ritchie devoted the major, por-
ton of his time to the problem.
Our first job" the Governor. said,
"is TO determine how much less than
the $18,000,000 Federal estimate of
the States relief need for the coming
year We can get along on If we really
put knife into the relief rolls.
THE second is to determine where
the money IS coming from-and
doubt If 1t can be raised without
special session" >+~. -.
He further pointed out, in. discuss
ing the prospects of a special session,
that both the counties and Baltimore
City have certain discretionary pow
ers regarding raising money for relief.
None of them. however, Is likely to
want to exercise its powers along
these lines, he added, particularly in
view Of the division OF relief between
Baltimore and the counties. Balti-
more spends So per cent of the States
relief funds.
II don't know whether the State
itself should be called upon to con-
tribute more than the $4,000, 900 al
ready issued in State bonds for the
benefit Of Baltimor's unemployed or
not. Anyhow, both the city and the
counties want the State to accept the
burden"
Gov. Ritchie mentioned, incident
ally, that the city and county budgets
have been practically completed for
the ensuing fiscal year and would be
upset by a relief levy. The State
budget has been completed, too, he
added.
In an effort to reach a decision on
the course the State will follow be-
fore the end of the week, the Gov
ernor has called a conference for
Friday afternoon. when he will &c
over the problem in detail with Harry
L. Geenstein, State relief admins

Officials.

SILVER SPRING, Nd. June s.
, Development Of the road construc-
ton program recently drafted by the
Kensfngton Chamber Of Commerce
was advocated strongly by civic lead
ers of the Kensington area in con-
ference here last night with the Mont
gomery County commissioners and
the Maryland-National Capital Park
and Planning Commission.
Particular emphasis was laid upon
the importance of building Beech
drive on the north side of Rock
Creek instead of to the south, as
proposed by the park group, and
upon construction by the State Roads
Commission of the bridge over the
B. 81 o. Railroad tracks at Kensing-
ton, which has been hanging fire for
five years.
Embodies Is Projects.
The program, which embodies l3
projects, comprising a co-ordinated
system of highways serving every
community in the vicinity Of Ken
sington, was present to county offi-
cials and it was announced it will
be carefully studied and given every
consideration, both by the County
Board, the State Roads Commission
and park executives.
Lacy Shaw, park commissioner for
MONTGOMERY, declared the overhead
bridge project will unquestionably
be taken up by the State this year"
and also said the section of Connec-
ticut avenue lying within the limits
of Kensington will be improved as
part of the overpaSs approach.

Board of County Commissioners, di-
rected County Engineer Harry B.

Construction Of the drive to the

serve only as a scenic drive through
the park, while construction to- the
north would afford a beautiful thor
oughfare for the park and at the
same time provide the communities
in the vicinity of Kensington with a
modern roadway leading to the prin-
cipal routes to Washington and into
that section of Rock Greek Park

Building the road on the north of
the creek also would open the way
for construction Of many beautiful

A few days ago this advertise

paper.
Harboring no illusions in my
mind about the nature Of such jobs,
I responded more with q desire to
find out what It was all about
rather than with the thought of
fitting into the position"
Upon entering my destination,
found it was the office of publica-

Someone at a desk beckoned to
me to come forward. After ques-
tioning me as to my experience, he
proceeded, with an air of dissatis-
faction with my qualifications, to
tell me his proposition-not without
a few preliminary remarks about
how appropriate and lucrative the
proposition is, considering these
trying times.
In effect his story was:
I'VE publish a magazine. These
men you see around you write for
us on commission basis; they
work here in this Office from nine
in the morning to five in the eve
ming. And" he added slyly:
Like q regular job" At this point
he paused while with a gesture of
generosity" he handed me a CODY
of the magazine October, 1889
Then he continued:
This is what the writers do:
Prom the various publications
items are selected about certain in
stitutions and individuals then
articles are written about them
Never Of negative character.
When the article is written, we
do the rest. If the article sells to
the institution or individual the
writer gets 10 per cent commits
sion-otherwise he must try again
to write more favorable stuff"
AS l began to arise to leave, he
asked, seemingly not noticing the
flush of anger upon my face:
How do you like the PROPOSE
tion?"
1 did not answer. Quickly made
for the door. For, had answered
the way I liked his proposition.
he would have heard and felt an
expression of the deep-lying hate

the bigger parasites who support
and rally them.
