The fear of the European states
that a war is inevitable is shown by
the Prague Fire Department, which
has invited bids for the supply of
rubber suits which will resist any
kind Of poison or corrosive gas in the
event of war"
The suits will also be available to
the general public who will be en-
couraged to buy them at the price
of $40 each.
The incertitude of the political sit
uation in France is shown by the
large number of daily and weekly
papers which have appeared recently
in Paris. They are roughly printed
frequently only one page-carry no
advertisements, and are distributed
free to cafes, restaurants, barber
shops and other such establishments
where their publishers hope they will
reach the largest number of readers.
They print ideas rather than news.
and whatever news matter is pub
lished is of propaganda nature.
There are also innumerable dinners
organized to make political converts.
These dinners are distressingly dull.
Their organizers realizing that most

The failure of the Disarmament
Conference has brought about a new
classification of the world in three
concentric circles.
Japan and Germany are outcasts.
The outer circle is formed by nom
leaguers, such as the United States,
which have promised to observe the
Kellogg pact and may be induced to
consult if an aggression occurs.
The middle circle contains non-Eu
ropean members of the league. like
China. South American states and the
British dominions which are bound by
the covenant, for what it may be
worth, to act against an aggresSor.
The inner circle is confined to con-
tinental Europe, its members taking
the most binding pledge to render mill
tary assistance to each other against
a continental aggressor Whether the
Scandinavian states, Switzerland, It
ally and even Great Britain, will act as
one body when the day arrives re-
mains to be seen.
But it is now certain that Russia
will have to throw her entire might
into the European political arena, after
she joins the league, and if France re-
quests her to do so.

Soviet Desire to Enter.
League Stirs Com

BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

THE desire of the Soviet govern
ment to enter the League Of
Nations Is creating more COM
L ment in Europe than the
failure of the Geneva Arms
Conference. The latter has been dis
counted for over a year, while the
former came as an unexpected de-
velopment only a few weeks ago.
The Soviet government has hereto
fore taken the view that the League
was a society of capitalist govern
ments, and as capitalist institution,
1t must inevitably follow a capitalist
policy. But capitalism has ceased to
scare the Communist government.
The Russians 1Cil enter the
League at Frances bidding and
as means of self preservation,
since MoScotD has found it neceS-
sary for its oton security to seek
Frances support. Russia does not
entertain any illusion about the
efficiency OF the League in case of
trouble She knoUS that the League
cannot help her; but France can,

JanitOr Learns
$4,000 Winning
In Derby Is False
Ticket Vas Sold to
Nephe,U, He Finds

BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, June 8.-Joy flew out
the window of a tenement on the
lower East Side yesterday when Frank
Rotovnik, the janitor who supposed he
had won $75, 900 on the derby, learned
| the winning ticket was not his but his
nephew's
Frank Smith, the nephew, came in
from the suburbs to congratulate his
uncle. He praised Rotovnik for being
canny enough to refuse an English
syndicate's offer of $4,000 for his
ticket.
Let me see that telegram" Smith
asked suddenly. He read it, gave a
slight moan, and sank to the floor in
a faint.
When he had been revived, he
shouted: 1.-THE number! The number
it is my ticket! 1t is my ticket, not
yours I have won the money, not
you'll"
Rotovnik tore his 'hair, his wife
screamed, their 12-year old son blub-
bered. But young Smith produced his
ticket, and it corresponded with the
number on the telegram. Rotovnik
had bought three tickets, it developed
and sold his nephew one. Being un-
certain of his plans, Smith had given
his uncle's address-and forgotten to
mention it.
The whole neighborhood was soon
in a furore. Rotovnik shrieked: my
heart, it is weak" Asked whether his
nephew had not promised him some
of the money, he exclaimed: Yes!
yes! yes but how much? That Is
what drives me craZy!"

CROWN POINT Ind, June 8 P).-
Sheriff Lillian Holley wants to vindl-
cate herself and to that end she's still
hunting for John Dillinger.
If she had four more men on her
staff and a little money, she'd catch
the elusive desperate who walked out
of the Lake County Jail March in
short order, she said yesterday.
Il am handicapped by lack OF per-
sonnel and money to conduct the type
of search which I am sure would re-
suit in Dillinger's capture or death. y
the sheriff stated.
She has spent $1,000 of her own
money, she revealed, to follow up tips
from people who think they know
where the bandit is hiding.

cism that descended when the outlaw
made his escape with the aid of the

whereas we are advised that the sc-

we have, IL is only fair that the wishes
Of orga nized citizen groups like the

should be adhered 10 in their desire
for the best system for our city. False
economy at this time would be
serious blunder st q later date. in our
opinion A grant of but $4,000 900 OF
public works funds at this time will
mean that the remaining funds TO
complete the plant at later date will
have to be paid for entirely by our
citizens, without the advantage TO be
obtained by the 80 per cent gift which
is being allowed now from the public

To the Editor OF The Star;
On April "a. 1893, The District of
Columbia Federation OF Women S
Clubs went on record as indOrsing the
urgent need for an adequate sewage
disposal plant for the health OF the
City of Washington and also as q
means of giving work TO the unem-
ployed as q part of the public works
program. We were one OF the first
organiss tons TO actively eSpouSe this
needed sanitary smeliorstion to the
health OF the community. The prime
mover in this Recommendation was
Miss Elaine Eppley. vice chairman Of
our Committee on Water and Water
ways. assisted by Dr. Darcy Nagee
and DR.. William B. Holton, president
and vice president, respectively. OF the

sor of the plan for the immediate con-
struction Of an sctivated sludge sys-

of our federation have watched with

plan. and our chairman has worked

The disarmament conversations"
between representatives of America,
England and japan have reached the
expected result That Is to say, the
negotiations are deadlocked
And in that state they will remain
until 1t Is recognized that the road
10 real armament limitation is not to
be cleared by hmita ton agreements,
but by the settlement of political diff
ferences.
Nations do not dissrm when they
look with suspicion OH powerful
neig ghboring or competing nations
Their peoples would not let them
disarm even were their political lead
ers 80 disposed. As long as Japan,
eager to expand her territorial pos
sessions and her influence in the Pa
cific, regards the United States as q
potential disrupter of her plans. just
as long will the Nipponese demand
OF their government that 1t maintain
q navy as strong in comparison to
the American Navy as the inferior
wealth of Japan will permit. And as
long as America, which already has
suffered one diplomatic defeat in the
Manchurian incident, watches Japan's
expansion activity in the Pacific and
wonders how far and in what direc-
ton that expansion is to 60, just as
long will the American people de-
mand a superior Navy made possible
by their superior wealth.
The current conversations in Lon
don are not getting at the root prob
lens which arise from suspicion and
distrust. Until an understanding
which will dispel these suspicious Is
reached-and the time seems far of
we must continue to view the spec
tacle of a race Of armaments In the

Save the Civil Service.
From the Chattsnooga Times.

fTOm ING
Activities of the Civil Service Repeal
Association have become such as to
give those who are opposed to the
spoils system In Government serious
concern. Like the AntiSaloon League
OF America, another wrong headed
organization. which had Its unfortu-
nate way with the Government and
the country for while, the Civil
Service Repeal Association had its
origin In Ohio, having been recently
organized at Lima, in that State. 1t is
now reported that the agency is PLAN
ming to open headquarters In Wash
ington.
No doubt the purpose of the Civil
Service Repeal Association appeals
strongly to many Democratic New
Dealers in Washington. The Roose-
welt administration has given the Civil
Service precious little consideration,
and the present Congress has not
manifested friendliness for 1t. 1t is
estimated that about 81, 900 new Fed
eral jobs have been created since
President Roosevelt went into ONCE,
and only q small fraction of these
have been filled through the Civil
Service. The others are held by politi-
cal employees. and doubtless there are
Congressman who would like to see
positions now held by Civil Service
workers occupied by their political
friends.
1t was the Democratic party which
fastened the iniquitous spoils system
on the American people. Let that
party not now add insult to injury by
wrecking the Civil Service. Let 1t re-
member that, after all, the Govern
ment exists for the people, not for
Congressmen and their hangers-on.

Retail Trade Looks Up.

Prom the winston Sc lem journal.
Retail trade throughout the South
east continued to gain, survey Oh
the Federal Reserve Bank OF Atlanta
shows Sales by department stores
showed q gain Of 1872 per cent over
August and were 2l.5 per cent greater
than in September, 1888.
Adjusted for the number OF busi-
ness days, the gain was 29.6 per cent
over August and 26.5 per cent greater
than the same month q year ago.
Wholesale trade during September
was the best reported since Novem-
ber. 1890.
For the first nine months Of 1894,
retail trade has been 20 per cent and
wholesale trade 273 per cent better
than in the corresponding period Of
last year.
As compared with August, part Of
the increase may be regarded as sea-
sonsl, but this cannot be said with
regard to the increase over the same
period in 1893. Which lends color to
the belief that business Is de1nltely
on the upgrade. and that, since un-
employment relief funds are not be-
ing distributed on a large scale dur
