FRANCE, ALARMED,
T|GHTENS DEFENSE
Predicts 5000, 900 Men Will
Be Under Arms After NaZi
TWo.Year Plan.
Rr the Associated Press.

PARIS. August 26.-French statis-
ticians tonight estimated 100000
men, third of them Germans, would
be ready for war" when Germanys
new two-year term of military service
becomes effective.
While France mapped intensive
plans for strengthening military de-
fense, convinced Germany is heading
for war, the statisticians reckoned the
men under arms in Europe's leading
military states would soon reach S.
369 900.
They estimated Germany in addi-
tion to regular fighting units, which
they placed at 1866 900. would have
10000 Nazi militiamen and 275 900 in
labor camps organized along military
lines.
Virtually all sections of French
opinion asserted Chancellor Adolf
Hitler's latest decree increasing mil
itary training periods from one to two
years moved him toward armed con-
f1ict.
Gen. Marie Gustave Gamelin, chief
of staff, and other military leaders
conferred with Premier Leon Blum
and it was announced effects of the
Nazi decree creating an army twice
the size of that of France was being
studied in the hope Of reaching rapid.
practical decisions"
Officials said high military COM
mittee including army generals,
Premier Blum and Yvon Delbos, min
lister for foreign affairs, was continu-
ing serious consultations" but any
decisions were not disclosed.
The suggestion was advanced unofh-
cially that France convert her public
works program into reinforcement of
national defense and possibly includ-
ing creation of semi military organ
izations.
Tension was increased by French
dispatches from Warsaw reporting a
recent interview between Chancellor
Hitler and Admiral Nicholas Horthy,
regent of Hungary, concerned with
forthcoming proclamation of COM
pulsory military service for Hungary.
Informed quarters said increasing
French military service beyond two
years definitely was out, but agreed the
nation probably would move toward
an increased mechanical effectiveness
of her army and strengthen military
alliances, especially with Russia and
Poland.

ARREST T|GHTENS
NET ABOUT LAWYER
Suspects Seizure May Also
Solve $500 Fairfax
Dairy Hold Up.

With the arrest of a long-sought
colored man in Baltimore, police here
announced today they believed they
had in their hands the solution of
the 81 500 Fairfax Farms Dairy hold
up, as well as witness who will
tighten their case against a we'll
known lawyer in custody since Sunday
morning.
The colored man is believed by
police to have engineered the $500
hold-up of Sam Siratonis' tailor shop
in the 5000 block of Fourteenth street
last week. Siratonis was struck on
the head with blunt instrument by
the bandits, who overlooked $4,000 in
a safe.
The lawyer, against whom charges
are expected at any time, has been
named in the signed confessions OF
two other colored men held since last
week, as the master-mind of their
criminal depredations. Despite daily
questioning, however, he has stoutly
refused to admit any connection with
the group.
The Baltimore arrest followed all
night questioning of the mans mother
and brother and another colored
woman concerning his whereabouts.
These three were picked up late yes
terday in Alexandria.
Chief of Detectives Bernard H.
Thompson at once ordered Detective
Sergts. Paul Ambrose, Elmer Lewis
and Jack Baker to proceed to Balti-
more to return with the man, who Is
expected to face the lawyer some
time during the day.
This latest arrest brings to eight
the number of persons taken into
custody by police in their wide drive
against hold-up men, who, in recent
months, have been terrorizing shop
keepers and pay roll handlers.

CUMBERLAND, Md. August 26.-
Edmund S. Burke, president Of the
Kelly-Sprngfield Tire Co. plant here.
announced today the plant was closed
indefinitely because of strike.
Three tear-gas barrages by po-
lice on strike duty at the plant here
sent a protest to Gov. Harry w. Nice
today from the Allegany Trades
Council yesterday.
Burke said the plant was closed be-
cause "employes who wanted to work
could not get proper protection.
Pickets still were gathered in front
Of the plant today despite the fact
that it was closed. There was no at
tempt to have the am. shift 90 to
work.
The council. said to represent $4,000

Governor it condemned" use of State
police to "intimidate strikers engaged
in peaceful and lawful picketing." /"
and asked that the executive curb
their unwarranted activities"
Senator KimbIe Objects.
Twice yesterday afternoon the Of
ficers resorted to gas to clear the
street in front of the plant. When
the II pm. shift reported for work
last night another barrage was laid
down to scatter a crowd of about 400
strike sympathizers.
State Senator Robert B. Kimble,
Western Maryland labor leader, OBJ
jected to the use of the gas. He con-
ferred with Edmund S. Burke. Kelly
Springfield president. and urged him
to close the plant pending negotia-
tions, ito prevent loss of life"
Strike leaders backed his plea with
assertions tragedy might result If
the plant remained open. Burke de-
clined to close the plant.
Has Councils Support.
The Allegany Trades Council named
a committee of six to assist local No.
26, United Rubber Workers of America,
in pressing the strike. w. Henry
Frazier, the committee chairman, has
unanimous support of the council in
aiding the strikers by lending moral,
financial and physical aid 80"
Frazier said the council regarded
the strike as justified.
Earlier, Burke met with John Gels,
president of the rubber workers local,
and requested a list of the strikers
grievances. Gels said the list would
be prepared. Both denied any agree
ment had been discussed.
The strike has been underway since
Monday morning, and yesterdays use
of tear gas was the first forcible action
taken by police.

With the declaration there Is no
justification for any increase in prices
charged to Washington consumers for
milk or cream" Secretary Wallace
tentatively agreed today to Federal
supervision of the Washington milk
market.
The agreement making this super
vision effective will now be submitted
to handlers for their signatures,
and producers will be requested to
indicate whether they favor issuance
Of an order embodying the provisions
of the agreement.
The agreement, written after 10
days of heated hearings at the Agri-
culture Department and a months
study by dairy experts of the Agri-
cultural Adjustment Administration,
is designed to stabilize the District
milk market.
The market is supplied now by 1,40C
producers in Maryland, Virginia and
West Virginia, 1,100 of whom belong
to the Maryland and Virginia Milk
Producers Association and the other
800 are independent.
Two-Thirds Agreement Needed.
Two-thirds of this total number,
or the producers of two-thirds of the
milk entering Washington, must ap-
prove the agreement before it is ef-
fective.
The agreement was sought by the
association, and since this body can
vote for all its members, it is almost
a foregone conclusion that the agree
ment will become operative, observers
say.
The first step toward governmental
control after final approval by the
Secretary of Agriculture is the ap-
pointment of Federal marketing ad-
ministrator to see that the agree
ment's provisions are upheld.
The issuance of the agreement has
been bitterly fought by the Washing

WEEKLY SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
JESUS DECLAES His PURPOSE

come. Thy will be done, as in
Heaven, so in earth" The matter
Of the Kingdom will recur over
and over again in our study of
Luke. 1t is mentioned only be-
cause it occurs for the first time
III Luke in our chapter, and to get
the matter into our minds for
study and thought as we proceed.
We Christians need to give dill
gent thought to the Kingdom
idea.
TEACHING THE LESSON
To make this lesson effective
IFS thought and arrangement
should gather around the. sermon
in the synagogue at Nazareth. The
Background and setting for the
lesson is unsurpassed. The text
ties the sermon to the Old Tesla
ment, and the sermon itself sets
forth the thoughts, plans, and
purposes that !illGd the great 10y
ing heart Of Jesus. Through this
lesson we should draw very close
to the personality of our Lord.
General QUestions-Locate Ma
zaleth. How did Jesus come to
be in Nazarath at this time? What
had He been doing Immediately
before this? What experience had
come to Jesus since He left Ma
zareth? What was the text of His
sermon? In what astonishing way
did He discuss the text? How, did
the people feel about the sermon?
What turned them against Jesus?
In what way did Jesus specially
offend them? How did Jesus es-
cape their wrath? How do YOU cX-
plain this? How does the Sabbath
in Capernaum differ from that in
Nazareth? Whv did Jesus refuse
to remain in Capernaum? What
would have been your feeling to-
ward Jesus had you been present
at Nazareth? What if you had
been present both Sabbaths?
