France Welsl'ing on Aid Pact
Puts Her Into Secondary Role
Influence Has Fallen Since -Four Years
4 go, When Barthou Toured
Central Europe.

French diplomats who constantly pre-
dicted that ''1taly's interests are with
us: she will come back"
Then Hitler dared to march his new
army into the Rhineland, demilita-
rized by peace treaties. That was in
1896. French statesmen made threat
ening speeches but their army failed
to move
Rumania, Yugoslavia and Poland
moved away. Their diplomats de-
clared they could no longer depend on
French aid when France would not
fight to defend her own positions.
Turkey and Greece, members Of the
Balkan entente with Rumania and
Yugoslavia, went with them. Hitler's
growing military might and his an
nexation Of Austria early this year
threw much of central and eastern
Europe into his lap.
Only Czechoslovakia Left.
Only Czechoslovakia was left to
preach democracy in Central Europe
and firmly to uphold the cause OF
France.
Now France wants Czechoslovakia
split up in conformity with Hitlers
plans.
Russians here predict Moscow will
either denounce the Soviet alliance
with France or allow it to fall into
abeyance. They declare Russia cannot
depend on France after the betrayal
Of Czechoslovakia."
Today French statesmen admit pri-
vately their country is dependent on
Britain's good will for her future.
Hitler has encircled France in his
turn. for military leaders say they
must defend three frontiers-with
Germany, Italy and Nationalist Spain.

HULL'S AIDE LAUDS
TRADE AGREEMENTS
Program Is Constructive Move
Toward Ending World Chaos,
Messersmith Says.

BY the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, Sept. 2l.-The Gov-
ernment's reciprocal trade agreements
program is the most important single
constructive program to bring back
order to this chaotic world" George
Messersmith, Assistant Secretary of
State, believes.
Mr.. Messersmith expressed that
opinion last night in an address At
the annual banquet of the American
Merchant Marine Conference. held in
conjunction with the convention Of
the Propeller Clubs Of the United
States.
He said the reciprocal pacts nego-
tiated by the State Department would
bring order into trade, free it from
the severe restraints from which 1t
has suffered and increase that how Of
goods between countries which is es-
sential for domestic and international
health"
Mr.. Messersmith also expressed hope
the new steamship service to be inau-
gurated October 8 between New York
and Buenos Aires would serve as an
instrument for promoting even closer
relations than now exist with our good
neighbors among the South American
republics"

Hitler trumpeted to the world Ger
many's economic preparation to sus-
tain q long war and his building Of
1,700 steel and concrete units of foru-
f1cation along the Rhine These would
hold the French. while his army. which
had been mobilized In practice ma
neuverS for month, would have a
free hand for such a sweep in over
whelming Czechoslovakia as 1t had in
the Rhineland and Austria.
Inferior to 1914 Army.
The truth is that, in spite Of the
much-displayed samples OF the new
guns, the German artillery is still
largely horse-draWn, Germany is un-
der severe economic strain. which war
would gravely intensity; the fortifica-
tions are not yet completed and the
present German Army is not only un-
tried, but, all expert reports agree, is
immensely inferior in numbers, arms
and training to that Of 1914.
1t would take more than a man and
a boy to make the Rhine fortifica tions
secure against the French Army. Most
Of the present German reserve, also
inferior to that of the old German
Army. would be required for that job.
Germany would have II frst-line
divisions against Czechoslovakia's
seven first line and seven second line.
And, remember, Germany could not
win with three against two on the
Western front in the World War. The
allies had more than three to two at
the finish.
II Hungary came in one the side Of
Germany, it would be with seven first
line divisions. This would bring in
Rumania, with % divisions, and Rus
sia might join Rumania. But, without
reckoning them In, or Britain, France
and Italy in, We stick to the prospect
Of Czechoslovakia fighting the war
single
Without the aid of Rumania's 900
planes or Russia's 1000 exclusive Of
1000 in the Far East, Czechoslovakia
has 800 planes to Germany's 1000.
Prague being q transport center, it is
on the cards that German bombers
would seek to reduce it to ruins, but
not without reprisals on German
cities by Czech bombers.
Natural and Manmade Defenses.
The German Army may have the
Czech frontier in tactical wise, but it
is strong natural frontier for de-
fenses Fashioned by powerful artificial
defenses. The Germans, wherever
they concentrate. will be fighting uphill
against the Czechs, who will be shoot
ing downhill.
For 10 years the Czech Army had
been preparing for the blow it now
faces. 1t has ample modern arms made
by its own Skoda works, the third
largest arms plant in Continental Eu-
rope. Supporting it are ample sup
lies and a web of good roads for the
prompt movement of troops on an in
terror line.
If the Czechs decide to fight after
all, they will not be the only ones
who will die. They will fight for their
own as the French fought at Verdun

tor Millard Tydings, while Maryland
voters prepared to hear State Sena-
TOR Lansdale G. Sasscer, Prince
Georges County candidate for the

address a rally at the Annapolis ball

Mr.. Lewis verbally painted President
Roosevelt as a conservative who saved
the Nation FROM Republican printing

able to resist growing demand from
the country for unbacked paper cur
rency."
The New Deal additions to the

tor Tydings that he is too old to be

DAYLIGHT BANDIT
GETS $136, FLEES
Holds Up Crowded Store
During Rush Hour and
Escapes in Car.

A daylight" bandit, who held up
a crowded grocery store at the rush
hour late yesterday and escaped with
$136 in an old automobile whose
license tags were bent 80 as to be
unreadable, was hunted by police
today.
George E. Miley, manager of the
Sanitary Grocery Co. store at 1901
Wisconsin avenue NV, said the
f1ashly dressed, dark-skinned white
man, who appeared to be about ~
years old, entered the store while six
employees were trying to serve more
than a dozen customers.
Waving nickel-plated revolver, the
bandit ordered the clerks and Gus
toners to hold up their hands and
forced him to open both cash regis
tiers, Mr.. Miley said.
Snatching $136 from the cash reg
listers, the hold-up man fed into an
alley and raced away in an old
model car. Two Of the store clerks
chased him. but lost the trail within
a few blocks. They said the license
tags on the bandit car we're bent so
they could not see the figures on
them.
Another hold-up was reported last
night by George w. Bradt, 1888 Thir-
ty-elghth street NV. He said two
colored men jumped into his car
while he was stopped for . trafic
light at Seventeenth street and Mas
sachusetts avenue NV. and one held
pistol IN his side while the other
took SIG from his pocket,

TAXES FOR RELIEF
OFF IN MARYLAND
$2,255,000 Under Figure
Estimated by Assembly Z

BI the Associated Press.

ANNAPOLIS, Md, July l9.-State
relief taxes will fall short of the

the END of the fiscal year 1899, ac-
cording to estimates made public to-
day by Controller William S.

The figures released by the con-
troiler show that on June 80 the

special taxes passed by the last I.egis-
lature. The controller estimated, on
the basis of these returns, that an
additional s659,0OO would be COL
lected by September 30, bringing the
total collected for the year to So
868,375.47.
The Legislature estimated the

leased showed that the total cost of
administering the funds was $l,576,-
1881.
The actual disbursements from Oc-
tober, 1887, until June. 1898, were
$3,557,079, against actual collections

more than had been planned were
those on music boxes and motor oper-
ators' licenses and pin-ball machines.
