The Army Relied
on Victory of 1918

The French soldier felt secure
through what he had won in 1919
and had closed his eyes TO the
possibility OF any German victory
in the future. Having never been
since the Treaty OF Versailles
properly armed or equipped. he
had come to look upon his obli-
gatory term of military service as
a sort Of Joke. and in the light OF
holiday; he had started for the
front as he would have gone for a
walk, and was so completely
stunned when he had found him
self faced by an admirably organ
lied force that he had lost at
once every hope of retaliation.
and probably lost it for a long time
to come.
This was the fundamental rea-
son OF the great French debacle.
but there were others-a lack of
equipment, Of food. Of everything
which an army must have If 1t
is to be properly led. Millions
had been voted by the French
Parliament for defense purposes.
and nothing had been done toward
1t.
The sums with which planes,
tanks, ammunition and so forth,
were to be purchased had disap-
peared in some mysterious man
ner. and no one seemed TO know
why. or how. or where.
The French soldier was very well
aware Of all this, and when the
hour struck for him to fight. he
laid down his rifle. II he had one,
and did what he had said he
would do in 1882, when he de-
clared that he was not going to
fight.
The Germans did not have any

Graft Flourished
Throughout Nation

Nowhere has graft flourished
with more shameless intensity than
in France since the last twenty
years or so, when the intoxication
OF a victorious war had broken
down all the old traditions of
French thrift and French honesty.

Arguments Continue
In Government Fight
On Oil Companies
Supreme Court Asked
To Sustain Charges
Of Price Fixing

Arguments today continued be-
fore the Supreme Court in the
effort of the Government to sustain
the conviction of IL major oil COM
panies and five individuals on a
charge of conspiring to raise gasoline
prices in 10 Midwestern States in
violation of the Sherman antitrust
law.
Thurman Arnold, Assistant Attor-
ney General in charge of the Anti
Trust Division of the Justice De-
partment, was directing the Gov
ernment case, with William j. Dono-
van, former Assistant Attorney
General, counsel for the oil COM
panies.
Levin Argues for U. S.
AS the case got under way yes
terday, John Henry Levin, special
assistant to the Attorney General,
argued that the antitrust charges
should be sustained even though
the prices fixed were reasonable.
This contention was advanced in
response to questions by the justices.
The Supreme Court has interpreted
the 1890 Sherman Act as forbidding
only unreasonable restraint OF trade.
The Government appealed to the
high tribunal from decision by the
Seventh Federal Circuit Court which
set aside the convictions and ordered
new trial. The defendants were
convicted in the Federal District
Court at Madison, Wis, and the
companies were fined $4,000 each
and the individuals $1,000 each.
Mr.. Levin said "the word 'unrea-
sonable' is not to be found within
the statute" He added:
when combination is formed
for the purpose of controlling the
price of a product and 1t has the
power to make its price control
effective, the character of the re-
straint Is unlawful and within the
direct condemnation of the statute"
Murphy Takes Judicial Oath.
Justice Frank Murphy, who had
taken his seat just a few hours pre-
viously, left the bench when argu-
ment started. indicating he would
not participate in the case. AS At
torney General he was active in
antitrust prosecutions.
Among the friends who saw the
new justice take the judicial oath
was one of his former law nl1niIS
Sister M. Ann Joachim, head of the
social science department of Sienna
Heights College, Adrian, Mich,
whose admission to practice before
the Supreme Court in 1896 marked
the only occasion that nun has be-
come a member of the bar of the
court.
She was graduated in law from
the University of Detroit in 1923
when Justice Murphy was on the
faculty there.

Chinese Feast on Special Menu;
Two Die, Three Are Stricken

An hour later they began to feel

Man Whose Picture
Was Used in Chests
1887 Drive Dies
james B. Sloan, 63, Is
Found in Coma in
Roomine House

His. was the best-known face in
Washington for a brief period in
1887, but James B. Sloan died in
obscurity yesterday at the age Of
63, his brief interlude of public
notice remembered by few save the
welfare workers whose cause was
heralded by posters bearing his
picture.
Mr. Sloan agreed enthusiastically
in 1887 when asked to pose for the
poster likeness of man with face
deeply furrowed by misfortune. The
story told by the placards, which
also bore the slogan, "You Are Your
Brothers Keeper" was his story,
and he was proud to be able to
help focus attention on the Chests
need for funds to aid others like
himself.
Mr.. Sloan's small painting and
decorating business vanished in the
depression, and influenza took his
hearing soon thereafter. The Cath
olic Charities lifted him from de-
spair, however. and he was able to
ply his trade from time to time at
the Goodwill Industries. When no
work he could do was available, the
welfare agency supplied his modest
needs.
The case workers recalled he had
told them his ancestry could be
traced to a lieutenant who served
in George Washington's army and,
in more recent generations, to a
prominent Pennsylvania legislator.
Mrs. Blanche Arvantis, his land
lady, found Mr.. Sloan unconscious
in his room at 305 D street NV.
yesterday morning. A physician
pronounced him dead of natural
causes"
Police were attempting to locate
a sister said to live in Brooklyn,
N. Y. If she cannot be found the
Catholic Charities will make funeral
arrangements.

Six Chinese sat down early yester-
day to enjoy a breakfast prepared
from an honored native recipe,
passed along to them from their
ancestors. Today two of the Chi
nese had gone to join those an
cestors and three of the others had
come perilously close.
The six gathered at a Chinese
cafe at 1927 Seventh street NV. to
enjoy something special that they
did not serve to regular patrons.
One of the men had brought some
fish, chopped especially according
to custom.
With the fish and imported rice
flour they mixed some patties.
Then they cooked some Chinese
vegetables and set the culinary
triumph-known in their native
land as IN the Winter"-on the
table.

In Housing by Straus
Building Congress Told
1900. 900 Families Are
Ignored by Industry

Government of private enterprise
should pull together in common
cause" to give the country hous-
ing program to meet the needs Of
all income groups, Administrator
Nathan Straus of the United States
Housing Authority told the Wash
ington Building Congress today at
its monthly luncheon session.
About $50 contractors realty men
and others in allied lines heard the
Federal official say there are H.
100000 families in this country with
incomes from 81 1000 to 1900 year,
for whom private enterprise has
not learned to build" Claiming
that this group has been almost ig-
nored by private builders, Mr.. Straus
said that nearly all the 100000 new
homes built last year were for fami-
lies whose incomes exceeded s1,750
and $1,000.
The U. S. H. A. does not and
never will compete with private in
dustry in providing homes for this
group" he said.
IF private industry is to engage
in sound program it will have to
build for this income group. leaving
the Government to continue its
housing aid for families below a
81 900 income" he appealed. There
is potential need for 100000 new
homes annually for families in the
top" income group, Mr.. Straus told
the builders, and an equal number
for families in the middle income
brackets
Hector M. airing, president of the
congress, presided at the session in
the National Press Club. which was
called for the purpose of discussing
the Governments low-rent housing
program.
Ranking officials of the u. S. H.
A. were in attendance, as well as
the following State and local hous-
ing officials: John Ihlder, executive
officer of the District Alley Dwelling
Authority; John Breen, chairman
of the Boston Housing Authority;
Francis y Lane. director of the

Rodeo Opens Saturday
At Iduho's Sun Valley

SUN VALLEY, Idaho.-Sun VAL
1ey's rodeo, one of the country S
greatest, will be presented this year
in honor of Idaho's 50th year of
statehood.
For two nerve -tingling days, Au-
gust II and 18, Sun Valleys cowboy
contests will take place in the
Vests most modern sports stadium.
Here will be enacted the striking
drama of cowpunchers atop whirling
broncos and bulldodgers wrestling
squirming steers against back
ground of the Sawtooth Mountains
rising almost from the arenas edge.
Fourteen competitive events will
be staged each day. Among them
will be bronco riding, calf roping,
bulldogging, Brahma bull and steer
riding, mems and women's trick
riding and relay racing, pony ex-
press racing, trick roping, cowboys
Roman racing, wild-horse racing and
bell-calf roping.
Each day the show begins with a
pageant Of the West comprised of
historic freight wagons, OK teams,
stagecoaches and Indians, resplen-
dent in full ceremonial war dress.
The locale of the Sun Valley show,
the Idaho Sawtaoth wilderness
one remaining Western frontier-is
the rodeo's real home. In this coun-
try was fostered the hell-for- leather
school of horsemanship.

Glacier Again Boasts
Of Beautiful Ice Caves

LONGMIRE, Mount Rainier Ma
tional Park, Aug. 10-Spacious ice
caves in Paradise Glacier, which
previously formed one of the out
standing phenomena of this park
and which have been of only minor
Importance for many years, have
returned this season to afford spec
tacular displays of sunlight filtered
through the overhead ice.
Main feature of the glacial cavern
Is that of the unusual effect of blue
white light shining into the opening
through the ice dome. The room in
the ice now Is abuot $50 feet long,
$50 feet wide and 80 feet high. En-
trance Is made down ice steps cut
at either end of q traverse crevasse
which allows enough direct sunlight
for exploration within. The main
cave is on the west side of Para
disc Glacier, near its snout or lower
end, and is about 2 miles by trail
from Paradise Valley.
Tie phenomenon is made posi-
BILE this season by excessive melting
of SHOWS from the top of the glacier
and by the lack of heavy snowfall
last winter. The cave itself. formed
by melting around the river, which
has its source in the ice mass, ap-
parently has been present for many
years. However, during other sum-
mers the snow remained so deep
over the glacier that sunlight could
mot filter into the cavern tn Give
the unusual and colorful effect, and
there was no means of easy and
safe entrance.

Surf Mats EnIiven
Ocean City Sports

OCEAN CITY, Md, August TO-
outdoor table tennis has become
very popular at this resort since the
recreation was recently made avail
able. The game is not only played
constantly throughout the daytime
but also at night, the visiting vaca-
tionists bouncing the small white
sphere back and forth under electric
lights.
Another favorite this season is
horseshoe pitching, which has at
tracted a large following among
those preferring a more leisurely
outdoor pastime. The court is situ-
ated within 100 yards of the surf.
However. both of these amuse-
ments have been overshadowed by
the summer colony's ready accept
