Warren Now Mere Friend.

Prof. Moley is busy running a
magazine. He slips down to WASH
ington quietly about once a week
the residential door. His name does
not get into the newspapers. He is
still a leading adviser, but In an in
direct sort of way.
There are dozens of other college
professors still running around town,
but they are doing odd jobs.
Other Advisers Quiet.
Treasury Secretary Morgenthau Is
not only the No. l adviser. but ap-
pears to be also Nos 2 and 3. No
one else sits on Mr.. Roosevelt's knee
any more.
The right hand man. Louis Howe,
is taking a rest at his home He has
done no advising recently and prob
ably will not for some time. He was
a philosopher with a sense of humor
who did much to smooth off the
rough edges around the White House.

are working. They pull wires to get

Liberals Widely Divided.
That situation is illustrated by the
condition of the liberals.
AS they approach the first ami
versary of the new deal. March 4,
they note they have virtually driven
the conservatives off the White House
lawn. Gone is Treasury Secretary
Woodin. Going and nearly gone is
George Peek. The only conserva-
tive who has been able to evade the
liberal lawnmower is Jesse Jones.
While in possession OF the field,
the liberals are unable to reap the
fruits of their pictory. They hare
split mildly into factions Uhich
are not harmonious.
That is natural To be a liberal
man must be an objector When
there are no conservatives to object
to. the liberals must object to each
other.
At any rate, all of them appear to
be on the outside looking into the
White House, rather than on the in
side looking cut.

construction Is an important objective
in the recovery, this opportunity is
now taken to request your co-opera-
ton in reducing the above charges to
amounts fairly representative of the
service they are to the private parties
paying the assessments. A study of
our recent costs for service sewers
and water mains shows the follow
ing: Service sewer, l0-inch, $3.74 per
lineal foot, and water main, s-inch,
S3.l1 per lineal foot.
Paid by Both Sides.
"While these costs represent those
encountered in the normal sewer and
water mains. respectively. in the or
dinary case such costs are met by an
assessment on both sides of the street
served by such installation. If one
therefore assumes as a proper charge
against the private property being
served, one-half the cost OF such In
stallation per lineal foot (since both
sides of the street are served), and
for the normal size used otherwise
the main becomes a trunk main), and
that the general municipal govern
rlent stands the costs incident to
street intersection work and for all
installations above the normal size.
then this charge should be very ma
terially reduced. This point Of view
is entirely in harmony with the mod
ern conception of sewer and water
main installation.
I'm view of this, it is recommended
that in the case Of both service sewers
and water mains, the charge per front
foot be reduced to S1.50. This reduc-
ton is fully justified by the physical
facts, and is more than justified by
the most compelling urgency Of stimu-
lating private constructor. If I may
suggest it, this reduction could be
made in the course of preparation OF
the District appropriation bill for the
fiscal year 1895 IF given an oppor-
tunity ] would be glad TO present the
matter at that time or take any other
action that your greater wisdom may
dictate"

THREE FROM HERE ON
COLLEGE HONOR ROLL

BOONE, Dec. 10.-The Appa-
lachian State Teachers college
has developed a system for en-
couraging a high quality of work
in the class room. There are two
chief factors in the plan. First,
all students whose academic rat
ing reaches a level of 80 per cent
or above and whose conduct is
satisfactory have their names
placed on the honor roll. Second,
all students whose academic rat
ing falls below an average of IS
per cent are required to carry a
reduced amount of work until
they can develop skill to carry a
full load successfully.
Prof. J. T. C. Wright states
that 115 students made the honor
roll for the fall quarter.
Hendersonville is represented in
this list by Miss Ruthella Arledge,
Miss Elizabeth Shipman and Miss

Jugoslavia Threatens to
Quit League Unless 1t
Condemns Hungary
LITTLE ENTENTE is
ACTING AS A UNIT

GENEVA, Dec. 10.-UP).-
The Little Entente, composed of
Roumania, Czechoslovakia and Ju-
goslavia, hurled war threat
across the League of Nations
council table today, resisting eff
forts of the big powers to COM
promise the dispute between Hun
gary and Jugoslavia.
Speaking for the Little Entente,
Roumania's delegate, Nicholas
Titulescu, declared that Hungary's
insistence on revision of the post
war treaties which carved out new
European countries constituted
war threat.
Titulescu's speech shattered the
hopeful atmosphere of the league
council session engendered by
resolution, offered by French For
eign Minister Pierre Laval, to
curb political terrorism and ap-
pease Jugoslavia.
GENEVA, Dec. 10.-Jugoslavia
has threatened to quit the League
of Nations unless the council con
dennis Hungary for her alleged

King Alexander l, the United
Press learned reliably last night.
The Jugoslav delegation in pri-
vate conversations with other
members of the council, in special
session, was understood to have
declared Jugoslavia would be
obliged to withdraw if her appeal
against Hungary is not approved.
Other members of the council
doubted that Jugoslavia would
carry out the threat to quit the
league, but admitted that the Ju-
goslav-Hungarian quarrel had as
sumed dangerous proportions. 1t
was understood that Jugoslavia,
back by the Little Entente, has
refused to consider several resolu-
tions. whereby the council would
condemn terrorism in general,
without condemning Hungary in
particular.
The threat to follow the exam

of whom quit the league in tn"

National Appropriation

ROME, Dec. 10.-(UP).-P
mier Benito Mussolini's decree
Selling control of all foreign ex-
change will appropriate for the
government nearly $100,000,000
in Italian investments in the Uni
ted States, of which large part
represents fortunes of American
heiresses who married titled Ital-
ians.
These American women will be
hard hit, through their husbands,
by the decree issued Saturday,
which orders all Italian Nationals
to notify the Bank of Italy before
December 81 of the amount they
had invested in foreign bonds and
in Italian bonds issued abroad.
However, these American wom-
en- who retained their citizenship
under the Cabell law Of 1922,
were expected to be exempt mas
much as their American citizen
ship is recognized in Italy.
Also, under the decree, it was
learned last night, American
banks and agencies in Italy are
prevented from honoring all for
eign paper, including letters of
credit and U. S. treasury bills.
Tourists, members of the U. S.
embassy staff and others paid in
American paper are faced with
hardships.
All U. S. treasury bills offered
American branch banks here must
be referred to the National Insti-
tute of Foreign Exchange. Mean
while these branches cannot buy
or sell foreign papers-and sala-
ries to embassy members and
others paid =. American paper will
be suspended until some system
can be devised authorizing the
banks to honor this paper.
Other provisions of the decree
which has caused a stir here in
clude: The government ordered
bankers, brokers and business
firms to turn over all their for
eign exchange held by them to
the National Institute of Foreign
Exchagne. These foreign credits
will be paid for at the prevailing
rate of foreign exchange.
Also the cabinet approved a bill
authorizing special taxes on prod
ucts from nations which have not
extended special privileges on
similar Italian products.
Primary reason for the bond
and credit DEGREES was said to be
desire of the government to de-
termine how much foreign ex-
change it had at its disposal. Re-
suits of this finding may deter
mine the future couse of the Ira,
which is now in a precarious posi-
ton.

Every Able-Bodied Man to
Garry Gun in War With
Paraguayans

BUENOS AIRES, Dec. TO-
(UP).-A general MOBILIZATION"
order which it was estimated
would throw 10000 fresh. troops
into the field for Bolivia was put
into effect Sunday, advices from
La Paz reported. The new Bo-
,ivian regime indicated desperate
determination to carry on the
Gran Chaco border war with Para
quay.
Every man in Bolivia able to
carry gun will be put on the
firing line, while those affected by
age or physical infirmities are be-
ing conscripted into auxiliary SER
vices.
The Bolivian decision to throw
the country's entire man-power
into the Chaco war was reached
at a meeting of the cabinet in
La PaZ.
President Jose Luis Tejada Sor-
zano told the United Press CORE
spondent in La Paz: "The general
mobilization move has as its OBJ
iect maintenance of the country
in readiness to intervene integral
ly in the war.
Mobilization of all energies of
Bolivia will constitute national
force in which reserve contin-
gents, so far untouched, will be
used. This is the reply Bolivia
gives to Paraguayan arrogance at
at time when the enemy admits to
the world she is not disposed to
accept the recommendations of
the league, believing herself capa-
BILE of continuing the conquest Of
territory to which she never has
had right"
