STRASBOURG, France, Sept. a.
Fear Of war sent masses of women,
children and aged men streaming out
of this French frontier region opposite
Germany today.
Roads running west and south away
from the Rhine were lined with ref
ugees, most Of them leaving by auto
mobile.
Over a 180-mile area from Lons-le-
Saunier to Strasbourg, paralleling the
German border, hundreds of cars were
crammed with families moving out.
Mattresses and bed covering bulged
from windows Of many automobiles.
The exodus started with formal evac-
uation Of some villages lying in the
strategic area between the Maginot
line and the Rhine.
There the predominantly rural farm
families packed up all movable be-
longings and moved out, leaving their
dwellings uninhabited.

KING ASKS UNITED
CHECK ON HITLER
Only Joint Action Could
Block Predatory Trio of
Powers, He Says.
BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
Senator King, Democrat, OF Utah
declared that only determined joint
action by democratic nations could
block the predatory course" of Ger
many, Italy and Japan.
Those three nations, he said, have
been so successful in their aggressive
and militaristic policies that to check
them would be a task which could
only be successfully accomplished by
the democratic forces of the world
joining in moral protest and in the
formulation of plans which would con-
vince these nations that they might
not continue their predatory course
without meeting formidable and sue
cessful opposition.
The Senator discussed the European
war threat after a conference with
Secretary of State Hull But he told
reporters he could not disclose the
attitude of the State Department and
emphasized the opinions he expressed
were his own.
Says U. s. to Blame.
We're to blame" Senator King
said. for general conditions which
have grown up in the world since the
last war.
IF We had ratified the Versailles
treaty (which was drawn up at the
end of the World War; and joined the
League of Nations-if we had carried
out the views of Mr.. Wilson-France
would never have gone into the Ruhr,
and the intervening troubles and con-
troversies would no doubt have been
averted.-
But when we refused to join the
League 1t was weakened; little by little
it was undermined; the actions of
France and Great Britain have finally
destroyed it,"
The. veteran Senator. who cham
pioned American participation in the
League when that question was before
the country, said he would welcome
at this time State Department dec
laration that the United States did
not view with any degree OF compla-
cency" violation of the BRAND kellogg
anti-war pact and the Versailles
treaty.
Could Give Moral Support.
Certainly" he said, I'VE can give
our moral support to any movement
that looks to the prevention of any
conflict" 49,. 49, .
Senator King voiced the opinion
that formidable and determined" OPP
position by France, England and Rus

BY NELSON NJ. SHEPARD.

Plans for immediate acquisition and
development of five sites for rehousing
1906 low-income families were di-
vulged by the Alley Dwelling Authority
yesterday in applying for a 100 per
cent loan of S10,6l4,02l from the
United States Housing Authority to
start the largest slum reclamation pro-
gram ever undertaken in the District.
This initial move, taken after three
months of intensive preparation, will
be followed up in a month by another
application for $7,534,266 with which
to develop seven additional low-rent
housing sites. 1t was disclosed that
the whole program now contemplated
at possible expenditure of $l8,148,-
287, would provide homes for 1885
families.
Three of the proposed sites are for
colored occupancy, two providing for
slum demolition. the other on vacant
land. For white families a project
will be built on vacant land and an
other in reclaimed Slum area.
Straus Promises Action.
I'VE are thinking in terms of $18,-
148,287. the amount we originally re-
quested on June 80, although the U. S.
H. A. at that time earmarked only
$15,000,000 for the District" John
Ihlder, executive officer of the local
agency said last night There is no
positive assurance, however, that the
larger amount will be loaned in full.
When informed of the application
for loan, Administrator Nathan
Straus expressed appreciation and
said it would receive Immediate &C
ton if the technical staff of the U. S.
H. A. approved. Since that approval is
practically assured, officials said,
a contract for $l0,61402l may be
included with others that will be for
warded to President Roosevelt within
the next 10 days or two weeks.
Mr.. Straus made the original ear
marking of District funds within "a
hours after receiving the request. He
is expected to lose no time in expedit-

$50 Rental Planned.
The immediate program covering
five projects is designed to provide
modern homes at about $50 or less rent
per month. Construction costs are to
be as far below the legal maximum of
$3.50 per room and $1,000 per dwell
ing as it is possible to bring them. Mr..
Ihlder had instructed his architects
to aim at room cost of $500, but that
is admittedly. very low estimate Any
figure below $1,000 per room would be
regarded by the u S. H. A. as a COM
mendable economy.
Plans provide for 484 dwellings for
white occupancy and 1,122 for colored.
In compensation. 1888 buildings con-
tanning 1923 dwelling units will be
demolished.
The supplementary program of seven
additional housing sites should bring
the number of dwellings for white
families to 564 and dwellings totaling
3,27l for colored occupancy.
The five sites submitted for imme-
diate consideration contemplate a bal
anced program 1t takes account of
conditions throughout the District, Mr..
Ihlder said, as we'll as the activities of
other agencies, public and private, in

The Athletics got only three hits. McGillicuddy wasn't discouraged. You aren't supposed to win against that kind of pitching and the series was still even, any way.
 What McGillicuddy didn't realize was that his young men were going to see more pitching like that Whats more, they were going to see entirely too much of dashing, swashbuckling, flaming guy called Pepper Martin. one of the most he roic lof all world series heroes.

twenty-five games back of it in the regular league race.
 You can't explain these things in- telligently. They just happen. And if they can happen in the minors they can happen in the majors Let's look back and see what hap pened to McGraw and McGillicuddy when they set out to write new chapter in the history of the game.
 McGraw led the Giants to suc- cessive series wins over the Yankees in '21 and 20 He got off to a good start in the '23 series when the Giants won the first game. Casey Stengel hit a home run inside the Stadium in the ninth inning to break a A deadlock.
 Ruth beat the Giants in the sec ond game with two homers to even the series. But the ancient MT. Sten- gel came back the next day to hit his second homer, the only run the game produced, and the EiHnts were again in front. MT. Stergel. by the way, put on quite show that after noon. He walked around the bases and climaxed it by thumbing his nose at Sad Sam Jones, the Yankee pitcher. At the moment MT. Jones was very sad. indeed, too. sIt
 Nobody realized it at the time, but this was the end of the Giants. They lost the next three. The Yan- kees started hitting Graw pitchers all over the premises. They scored six runs in the second in ming of the fourth game, they drove four pitchers out of the box in the fifth game; they put on another big inning, yielding five, runs. to win the clincher,, and blast McGraw's dream of becoming the first mana- ger to win three series in row

 RIGHT FROM N. Y,
McCarthy's Chance to Win Three in Row Peps
 Up Present Games

Everybody knows that the World Series is now being played. Here is little preseason dope appearing recently in New York newspaper and written by Joe Williams, that is interesting to all fans: ? i
 McGraw couldn't do 1t. McGilli- cuddy couldn't do 1t. Can Joe Me- Carthy do it? Do what-the turkey trot? No; win three world series in row It never has been done in ! baseball. Only three men have had i the chance. First McGraw, next 1 McGillicuddy, now Mccarthy. Odd ! ly, all Irishers. k
 From all indications, the ap- ! preaching world series is going to need a shot in the arm. The Nation- | al Leaguers have made a clownish burlesque of their race No matter what team eventually succeeds in backing into the championship, the neutral opinion is going to be e''that | it lacks class. ai'H slt2f1es r
 No such opinion will exist with | respect to the Yankees. They have + proven their class. They will be top heavy favorites Many metropolitan \ fans may be disposed to Shtm the l series, confident the competitive I clement will be woefully lacking But there will be widespread inter- est in McCarthy's efforts to put ! three world series victories in row Il together. This intriguing factor will supply the aforementioned shot in \ the arm.We fietf.e& a " .'s Winning three successive league championships is difficult enough; topping each of the three off with world series triumph is obviously more difficult. That elusive and not easily identified force called the law of averages seems to operate against the third straight success. This is the force Mccarthy will have to
 conquer; 1t is the same force that

 ager shatters the precedent. The
 stage was never more inyitingly set
 for success. Competition in the Ma
 tional League has reached new
 hilarious low, and conversely the
 fortunes of the Yankees are ex-
 ceedingly high. From time to time you even hear them referred to as a super-team. NH

WHAT MCCARTHY MUST DO

I think Martin beat the As in the second game when he audacl- ously stole third base. This wash Hoyle baseball, but as a bold ges- ture of contempt it had an upset ting influence on the startled Am erican Leaguers, and left its lm- pression upon the games that fol- lowed.
 Martin plainly bewildered McGil- licuddy. He'd pitch high to him one day, low the next, the inside or out side; it didn't make any difference The gay, insoucient young man belted all varieties of deliveries to all sections of the fairWay And what he di0 to poor Mickey Coch- rane on the bases was shocking.
 Cochrane took the rap from the fans, but actually the pitchers were to blame. They acted as if they had never seen a base runner before. and their awkward behavior indi- cated they were unskilled in holding runners close to the bags. The re- suit was, Martin always had a big lead and Cochrane was mere 7 throwing for exercise. Just the same, Martins exploits were astonishing. He did everything but jump over the grandstand.
 To get back to our subject, 1t is evident that all Mccarthy has to do to win that third one is to see that his pitchers won't collapse, and to guard against the unexpect- ed emergencies of another Martin. And maybe he shouldn't win the opening game, either This dldn | help McGraw or McGillicuddy.
