county education officials. While
this sum covered the cost of running
the schools during that time, Prince
Georges authorities contend that

Greenbelt is not contributing
enough in proportion toward upkeep
and support of other county &C

and police.
F.. S. A. payments to Prince
Georges are about $1.18 on each

decided to divide it into eight Sec

He said it was "only fitting that
such villainy should be recorded in

Four of the pieces are to be given

and Indiana. Names of the uni

yesterday adopted unanimously
bill to maintain the term of French
compulsory military service at two
years after Premier Edouard Da-

which originally was enacted only as
a temporary measure to cover war
baby classes.

OF the measure would give France
525 900 recruits under arms in 1910
and 62l 900 in 1941, while a return
to the former period of years
training would have reduced the
