propriatiea Act Of 1889 provides
SO, 900 for plans for . library build
ing to be located on square 4el, which
Is one Of the four squares purchased
several years ago by the District to
form part Of the Municipal Center.
It 10 on the north side Of Pennsylvania
avenue and is bounded on the west
by Sixth street, on the east by John
Marshall place and on the north by
G street.
THE library will thus form part
Of the municipal center group. 1t
will be opposite the Apex Building
and Mellon Gallery. and being near
the center Of population Of the Dis
trict, will be convenient for the general
use of all citizens OF Warrington. The
site was suggested by Col. Frederic A.
Delano, chairman Of the National
Park and Planning Commission, who
has promoted the welfare Of the Dis
trict and It's citizens in many re-
spectS, and the money for the plans
secured through the interest of Rep
resentative Ross A. Collins, chairman
Of the District Subcommittee of the
House Committee on Appropriations,
who has shown for many years great
interest In the development Of the
public library system. With the House
Appropriations Committee, the Park
and Planning Commission and the
District Commissioners (who are tradi-
tionally interested and active In pro-
noting the development Of the public
library system) all cooperating, there
Is encouraging prospect Of the much
needed library legislation and ap-
preparation.
$5e0,ooo Fund Included.
THE trustees have included In their
estimates for 1910 the sum of $500, =
900 for completion Of plans, and for
q beginning on the new building, but
realize that p. w. A. grant, as urged
by the trustees, would greatly expedite
the project. They respectfully urge
the Commissioners to advance the
building rs rapidly rs possible by
estimating and vigorously sustaining
an appropriation Of 100000 in the
fiscal year 1910 and by an authorize
ton for the 5000, 900 additional esti-
mated as necessary by the municipal
architect for the completion OF the
building, and If P. w. A. grant for
the library building is not to be e.
cured this year, we urge that renewed
effort be made (the Commissioners CO.
operating) to have it included in some
later P. w. A. program.
The hope Of the trustees to elimi-
nate the cost of q site for q new
building by permission to use land al
ready belonging to the District, and to
reduce the cost Of erecting the building
by securing the grant through the
p. w. A. OF q substantial donation and
loan has thus been partly. and may in
the future be fully. realized.

The Mount Pleasant branch now
has $4,000 registered borrowers. The
circulation load on the stan Is over
$4,000 volumes per person, includ-
ing both administrative and informa-
ton assistants. Additional stan is
badly needed, DR.. Bowerman de-
clareS.

adult gain of 1877 volumes, of which
37.7 per cent was non-f1ction. Over

culated 102 ,581 volumes, Conduit road,
19,44s; Eastern High, 1884; Tenley,
51,364, and Woodbridge, 100,276.
A arrangement of the room at
Chevy Chase has added much to the
appearance of the branch. A new roof
at Conduit road has averted the dam
ger of collapse, but the patching
process has been a makeshift at best,
DR.. Bowerman declares, and the next
step must be either new building or
complete renovation. Overcrowding Of
the shelves continues to be problem

irresistible influence has become a world
power again. Germany today is greater in
both area and population than before the
World War. She has turned the treaty of
Versailles into a scrap of paper. Repara-
tions long since have been nothing but an
absurd memory. The Saar is restored. The
Rhineland is remilitarized The German
Army is once more at pre-l914 strength, or
stronger Goering commands the most
formidable air force in the world. BY COM
pact with Great Britain, Germany Is as
sured feet at least one-third the size Of
the British Navy. Austria has been an
nexed. Germany is in alliance with Italy
and Japan. On his Rhenish front Hitler
has built the Siegfried line of fortif1ca-
lions, which virtually guarantees the Reich
against any invasion or attack in the west.
And, as it to seal his amazing career, Adolf
Hitler receives the political head of the
British Empire, come to supplicate at his
throne for peace which Der Fuehrer can
keep or break at his all-powerful will.
Hitler's life is success story with few
parallels. Born lumbly in the Austrian
village of Braunau, in 1889, with no earlier
ambitions than a modest career in art, he
soon turned to public affairs, consequent
upon the violent contrast" between "amaz-
ing riches and degrading poverty" which
he encountered while in quest of work in
Vienna As long ago as those formative
days, he decided that ''the question OF ma
