With half filled bottle of poison at
his side, Charles Vermeule, Sc. re-
tired employe of the Bureau of En-
craving and Printing, was found dead
in bed today in his third-fio room.
at 1915 Twelfth street. Coroner A.
Magruder Macdonald said the man
had been dead for about "a hours.
The body was found by Miss Hattie
Stevens, rooming house proprietor, and
roomer, George Franklin. Miss
Stevens told police she had last seen
Vermeule Monday night and he seemed
in good spirits at the time.
The dead mans widow, Mrs. Estelle
Vermeule, who has been staying with
friends in another part of the city,
said she knew of no explanation for
her husbands death. A note found
near the bottle on the dresser in

TINE continuous flashing Of Tight

Europe means nothing. except
\ that the situation has reached
the stage Of higher diplomatic intrigue.
For example. Paris beats her breast
officially every hour on the hour In
fear of the Hun at the doorstep. Her

Of a German invasion.

can see that the French fear Mr..

strasse more than his 10000 goose.
steppers on the Rhine.
The inner diplomatic situation,
rather than the prospect of attack,
explains the frantic efforts Of French
statesmen to get Great Britain in on
action to combat the re-birth of Ger
man militarism.
France Fears for Position.
What frets French officials is the
prospect that France will lose her
dominant diplomatic position In Eu-
rope. and they will thus lose their
individual official heads. OF course
they are not telling that to the French
people.

that the food should have put this de-
cision before us at the beginning Of
the season Of heaviest traffic. but a
new bridge will have 70 be built some
time and from the long-range view
point. it might be better to build 1t
now.
"The new bridge would be wide
enough for three lanes of traffic and
would have a walk for pedestrians.
The present span Is only wide enough
for two lanes and pedestrians take
their lives in their hands. In a new
bridge the dangerous turn at the
Washington approach would be elm
mated.
Modern Load Capacity.
UNLESS a new structure is built,
the load limit, now tons, would
have to be reduced. The new bridge
would be Of modern load capacity
Funds from the gasoline tax would be
available Immediately on passage of
the District appropriation bill by Con-
gress. If the s3S0.000 bridge item is
approved, work can be started on the
plans at once, even though the bill
does not reach passage until later in
the session.
Whyte explained that it is impos-
sible to determine the soundness of
the present bridge structure beyond
certain point because of its design
obsolete for more than 80 years. Much
of the supporting structural work is
enclosed, and the amount of corrosion
cannot be ascertained accurately.
A check by the District Traffic Bu-
reau in February showed that 2,0le
cars passed over the bridge from I
am. to pm. and 2,838 cars during q
24-hour period. During the Summer
months the traffic is much heavier
A check by the United States Bu-
reau of Public Roads in 1872 showed
an average of 1887 cars passing ovel
the bridge daily, and $500 daily dur.
ing the peak months. Motor registra-
tions in the District have increased
nearly 10000 since then.

Thousands Of motorists who cross
Chain Bridge in their daily trips
from the District to points on the
Virginia side of the Potomac River
are faced with closing Of the span
for anywhere from one month TO
seven months as a result Of last weeks
food.
Whether the bridge will be closed
for month for repairs, or seven If
new span Is constructed on the
old foundations, has not been decided.
Whatever the decision, however, a
detour of several miles over Key
Bridge will be necessary.
Closing of the bridge will throw
a heavy stream Of added traffic over
Key Bridge, already crowded during
rush hours, and cause thousands of
motorists to travel several miles out
of their way to reach homes and Sum-
mer cottages on the Virginia side
Of the Potomac.
District highway oficials explained
today, that the bridge, well as it with
stood the strain Of the highest water
in Al years, cannot last forever. 1t
is 81 years old. and IS or 40 years
is considered a ripe ole age for a
bridge. If it Is to be replaced, now
is the time, they pointed out.
A thorough examination Of the
bridge superstructure, now under way
by District Bridge Engineer Clifford
R. Whyte. probably will be completed
this week. Brief inspection showed
it was considerably damaged by high
water and trees, houses and other
debris swept down the river.
At the first span from the Virginia
side one Of two main eye bolts was
broken by q huge tree trunk, throw
ing the entire strain on the remaining
bolt. Had another tree or other OBJ
ject even smaller struck the span at
that point, Whyte declared, the entire
section would have been plunged into
the torrent.
The inspection showed several bent
main truss members, and all will have
to be repaired. Strengthening is not
enough; the strain on the various eye
bolts and trusses must be equalized
and the entire steel superstructure will
have to be examined, bolt by bolt and
girder by girder, before the full extent
Of needed repairs can be estimated
Flooring of the bridge, though little
damaged, probably will be replaced il
the bridge is repaired. It was sched-
uled to be replaced before the end Of
the year anyhow, Whyte said. So far
as can be seen, the piers are in ex-
cellent condition and will need little
If any, attention.
Repairing Is Questioned.
Advisability of repairing the bridge
is being questioned by District off,
cials. however, until the fate Of q
$3.50, 900 allotment for q new super
structure, contained in the District
appropriation bill, already ratified by
the House and now before the Senate,
Is known. Whyte explained:
IF the appropriation for the new
bridge is approved, as seems likely, II
is questionable II the repairs should
be made The repairs could be COM
pleted within about month, but the
bridge would only be open for q few
weeks before is would have to be
closed again so work on the new bridge
could be started.
CONSTRUCTION of new bridge would
take between six and seven months
including time necessary for complet-
ing plans, advertising for bids and
letting contracts. It Is unfortunate

French governments have MAIN
tanned themselves since the war largely
by promoting fears of Germany. This
particular government will have moth
ing left to stand on, except fear,
unless it can appear to bring Hitler
to terms, and such q possibility grows
more remote every day.
Freeze-Out of France.
Paris is sincerely convinced that
Hitler plans to fortify the Rhneland
as soon as the existing situation calms
down. Our people have information
indicating Paris is right about that
The scheme of the German general
staff is supposed to be the freezing
of the usefulness of France as an
ally of the Soviets. Hitler's generals
are supposed to have figured it out
that by fortifying the Rhineland they
can defend the Fatherland from
French invasion with no more than
100000 troops. This would leave the
bulk of Hitler's armed forces free
for the east-where Hitler wants to
and will expand.
But it Uould also lessen the i'm
portdnce Of France to Russia and
to the Little Entente. Those pals
OF France ,oiu be looking for other
stars to hitch their security Kites
to. Consequently there Is no pon-
der here that the French are
screaming and wiU continue to,
rather than accept any rapprooche-
nent ,0ith Hitler which would leaue
him free to tortity the Rhineiand.
Note-1t may have sounded alarm
ing that President Roosevelt chose
to mention his policy Of "the good
neighbor" in his Florida speech while
the European situation was at a fever
heat. What he apparently had in
mind was that good neighbor attends
to his own business, rather than the
business Of the neighborhood. At
least this is the firmly established in
tention OF all his foreign advisers
here.
British War Scare.
There was one period of 48 hours
recently when the British really got
CAS4VCo obOuG WhA pl0opCCtS. I LIS
was when Lloyds declined to insure
against war at any price. Today
they will give 10 to against war
within six months.
The inside on Lloyd's temporary
timidfty is that the youthful Brit.
ish foreign minister, Anthony Eden,
became unduiy alarmed for that
period of time. Whea he returned
from his Paris trip about that time
he is supposed to hape passed Uord
dotDn the line that Uar tods so near
he could almost hear the guns
rumble"
What frightened him was the in
formation he received from French
officials in Paris. They told him they
were going to drive the Germans out
Of the Rhine. The French wanted
to know whether Britain would help.
Despite his personal alarm, Eden
handled the situation very well. He
got the French to agree to q confer
ence later in London, thus affording
them time to cool of.
