known and highly regarded by a
host of friends here.
The elevation of Judge Schenck
to the supreme court bench, and
the elevation of Solicitor Pless to
the bench in the 18th district was
regarded by many here as being
highly favorable to R. L. Whit
mire, former state senator, who
is a candidate for the Democratic
nomination for solicitor of the
district. Governor Ehringhaus has
announced that he will name a
solicitor for the district and,

making a very active campaign

PARIS, May 26.-(UP).-
Shouts of "war before the end
of the year in Europe" threw the
chamber of deputies into an up
roar yesterday.
Excited deputies flaying the
governments national defense
and foreign policy programs de-
nounced it's failure to check Ger
many's alleged re-armament pro-
gram, which they declared was
forcing France rapidly toward an
other bloody conflict.
Foreign Minister Louis Bar
thou leaped to his feet to deny
laxity on the part of the Dou-
mergue administration.
Barthou added that the gov
eminent "has an able representa-
tive in Berlin" who is looking
out for Frances interests and
keeping the government closely
posted. Defending the govern
ment'S foreign policy, Barthou
said France was working for
closer understanding with Soviet
Russia.

let Russia into the league would

He emphasized the need to
safeguard independence of Aus
tria.
In the ensuing debate, depu-
ties attacked the governments
attitude on German re-armament,
despite Frances firm stand
against any move by the Ger
mans to go outside the provisions
of the Versailles treaty. Louis
de Chappedelaine and Francois
Chaseigne led the heckling of
government speakers on this is
sue, as the session became more
noisy. Chaseigne finally shout

HAVANA, May % 1.N.S0.-A
cabinet meeting lasted until
early today discussing Cuba's diff

by the firing on the home Of the
American Ambassador, jefferson

Senor Toriente took the Havana

criticisms of government officials

violent persons, believing all they
read, are excited to violent acts,
and adding the hope that the
opposition press would be more
conservative in the future.
Mr.. Caffery was upstairs in the

Legal drinking at the new

Repeal has changed the

to concessionaires at a Century

Drinks are slipped slowly now.
No one has to watch for cops,

The same holds true over the

drunkenness to a minimum,

FIXING LIQUOR
STORE SITE

A site for the Virginia liquor
dispensary in Alexandria is ex-
pected to be selected today by
James E. Etheridge, director of
real estate and insurance of the
State alcohol control board.
Some residents want the store
located in the heart of the busi-
ness district, while others desire it
located at the waterfront.
The question of prices has also
been raised, with the general run
of liquor prices in Washington
lower than those charged at liquor
stores in the Old Dominion.
A spokesman of the board said
prices would not be cut to meet
District prices although it was ex-
pected there would be general
scaling down of prices in all stores

Knickerbocker Sees History in
Making As Nations Move to

Service)
LONDON. May % 0.N.SO
This week may make history in
Europe, for today nations assem-
bled at Geneva will show for the
first time the fact that the Con.
tinent has awakened from the
shock of Germany's withdrawal
from the League of Nations eight
months ago, and that Chancellor
Hitler's opponents have finally de-
cided to offer him blow for blow.
To put it crudely. they have de-
cided to build two airplanes for
each of his and let four guns
grow where one grows in Ger.
many. In short, they have deter,
mined to maintain their present
superiority in armamentS no mat
ter how much Germany arms.
Germany's exit from the League
was generally interpreted as an
invitation to an armamentS race.
Europe for many months re-
mained stupefied and failed to
accept the invitation.
What Hitler Faces
But today, as the bureau Of the
disarmament conference opens
what may be it's last session, Herr
Hitler is faced, as though by pre-
arrangement, with the following
acceptances to his invitation, all
Of which were mailed to his ad-
dress just before his last chance,
perhaps, to return to the con-
ference:
Mussolini announces Italy will
spend another $165 100000 on her
air force and navy;
The army committee Of the
French Chamber Of Deputies ap-
proves an additional expenditure
of SIS, 100000 for Notifications,
with the forecast Of expenditure
of another similar sum for the
air force, antiaircraft guns, and
the navy;
Belgium raises her military con-
tingent for 1884 from $4,000 to
$4,000.
Empire Defense Day
England stages nationwide
Empire Defense Day with Royal
Air Force displays throughout the
country and the British Govern
ment announces it has already
made necessary preparations to
build an air force equal to that
of any power "in case disarmament
breaks down.
This is the extremely realistic
background of this weeks session
of the Disarmament Conference
and the League Council.
Hopes are faint that Herr Hit
ler, contemplating this result of
his withdrawal from the league,
might return in the belief that
Germany could get more by any
sort of a convention than by a
wide open armamentS race with
the financial odds against her.
