French PREPARED
FOR WAR ON RHINE.
Big Guns Hide Behind Near
Iy ImpregnabIe Forts, but
Laval Still Hopes.
BY the Associated Press.

PARIS. August 26.-With French
artillery trained on the German border,
Premier Laval was said by his advis-
ers today to be hoping for peace. but
prepared for the consequences of an
Italian war against Ethiopia.
The premier was reported doing
everything possible to avoid the word
war" and to steer the League of Ma
tions away from sanctions against ag-
gressors. He was said to be confident
that there would be no declarations of
war and hopeful that Premier Musso-
lini's venture would be taken as a CO.
lonial punitive expedition.
French officials said that gunfire In
Ethiopia might clear the atmosphere
for settlement between the dark en-
pire and Italy. They explained that a
certain amount of fighting would do
two things-satiSfy the Italian troops
desire for victorious combat and con-
vince Emperor Halle Selassie that the
Italians mean business.
Troops Called Out Early.
French troops have been summoned
prematurely in what military experts
call a dress rehearsal for war. These
troops have reinforced the vast fort
ress system from Montmedy to Null
house, ready to bar any invasion while
the air force watches the sky.
When the League of Nations Coun-
Gil meets September to consider the
Italo- Ethiopian conflict, France will
be ready at the German frontier in
steel and concrete forts extending for
1876 miles, with mobile garrisons in
marching order scattered behind.
Six weeks ahead of time, 20 900 con-
scripts have been called to the colors
and instructed to report at the Rhine
land forts next Saturday. How many
men will be sent to the forts has not
been announced, but it is estimated
that there will be 10000, and nearly
25O,000 others scattered at French
garrisons throughout France.
Big Guns Underground.
The camouhaged, buried forts. cost
ing 5000, 100000 francs, are scattered
strategically to enable their gunfire to
cover every foot of ground where IN
vaders might cross. The big guns lie
deeply underground, with hundreds of
pill-boxes covering every hummock on
the guard line.
Delicate sound detectors listen night
and day for enemy planes while the
aviation centers are ready to send a
combat force into the air. The mod
ernized anti-aircraft guns, experts say.
can send a 3-mile-high curtain up
from the forts.
Underground, an amy of thousands
can move through 81 miles of tunnels,
and the land forces can go where they
are needed over 1876 miles of road con-
Meeting with garrisons behind the line.
Subterranean electric plants assure
light and heat for cooking. Ventila-
ton and super-normal air pressure
will keep out gas. There are large
stores of munitions, food and waters
available through the tunnel.

1t was not far from here that II

latest military development, was

Thus far, the maneuverS have
taught the general staff that an ad-

in today's demonstration, which was
followed by more than 100 foreign
military attaches. Its purpose was to

NEWSPAPERS OPINION
TAXES MULTIPLY LIKE RATS

Government spokesman, admitting that the ma
tional debt will shortly reach the 35-bilhon-dollar
point if the present rate of expenditure is con-
tinued, often attempt to laugh this off with the
observation that country rich as ours can stand
almost anything in the way of debt burden. Also
they say that we are not yet as deeply in debt as
great many European countries. Why should we
be? Would that be any honor? Do we want our
nation infested with taxes like rotting ship is il
tested with rats?
At the present time, federal expenditures are
outrunning federal receipts about two to one. In
other words, if we spend $2,000,000, 900, half of
that is met through existing taxes. The other half
must be added to the debt-where it inevitably Gre
ates permanent interest charges and new taxes.
The tax burden goes up automatically as public
debts increase just as rats multiply and consume
everything around them if they are not exterml-
mated 1t is an intolerable drain on individuals and
industry. Money that would go for building fac
tories-for home Improvement and construction
for jobs and payrolls-for industrial expansion
for farms-for everything that we use for profit
or pleasure is going to the tax collector Our pro-
ductive wealth is being Slapped to constantly m
creasing extent.
Debts make taxes-taxes make debts They con-
stitute vicious circle that threatens the very ex
istence of our social and corporate structure. A
tax-infested nation like rat-infested ship, is
doomed unless fumigatng measures are adopted

HAS PLAN TO
AID TEACHERS
Mcdonald Would Give 20
Per Cent Pay Raise by
Fund Transfer

RALEIGH, July 20. (UP).-
DR.. Ralph Mcdonald, Forsyth
county representative in the 1885
legislature, yesterday suggested to
Governor Ehringhaus that $780,
600 be transferred from the
states emergency and contingency
fund "to provide a full 20 per
cent. increase in the entire sched-
ule of teachers salaries"
Such a solution to the problem
of what to do about teachers sal
aries is "both practicable and de-
sirable," Mcdonald stated. :
The legislature appropriated
school funds which it was gener-
ally understood would provide a
20 per cent. pay increase for all
teachers. Under the school COM
missions system of encouraging
teacher improvement by means of
a graduated salary scale, some
teachers would receive increases
of more than 20 per cent, and
others of less than 20 per cent.
In failing to arrange blanket
20 per cent. raise for all teachers
the commission apparently is
seeking to preserve what school
people have worked for for years
the principle of encouraging
teacher and school improvement
by means of a graduated salary
scale which affords increased sal

RESERVES FOR 1886

variety of excuses is offered for the delay in
the spending of the four thousand eight hundred
and eighty million dollar work relief" fund, which
was to begin July /, at the latest, and they are
more or less truthful, but have notion that
the spending will be generous and handsome in all
the states, especially the more doubtful states, in
the months preceding the election of delegates to
the Democratic national convention and thereafter
until after election day.
While the administration expects that congress
will vote it three billions more by next May, it can
not be sure of congress.
Therefore, it is prudent to. lay up reserves, and
the longer the spending shall be postponed this
year the more money will certainly be available
next year.
1t is not improbable that congress will approprl-
ate another three or four billions, for the more
money that shall be spent in district the more
votes congressman thinks he will get.
1t is not the average but the exceptional con-
gresham who is less interested in reelection than
in preventing the republic going to the bowwows.
A congressman who will allow his country to
run behind and into debt four thousand million dol
lars year in time of peace will vote for anything.
Nevertheless, it is playing safe for Chairman
James Farley to postpone the distribution of the
bulk of the money already appropriated until 1886.
