Misjudge U. s. Strength

By the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE. Oct. 30.-Europe's
dictators, in the opinion Of Paul v.
McNutt, Federal security admin
istrator. have a lot to learn about
Americas strength.
Mr.. McNutt, addressing the vom4
ems division of the Maryland Coun-
Gil of Defense, said dictators fail
to understand Americas strength
because they do not understand the
secret of our strength"
Declaring that democracy is
neither feeble nor soft. Mr.. McNutt
said dictators mistake deliberation
for indecision" and they confuse
love for the ways of peace for weak
ness in the face of war"
Gov O'Conor also spoke, praising
the response of Maryland women to
the call of national defense work.
Many, many times in the past"
Gov. O'Conor said, "the women of
our State have rendered the most
valuable services in times of stress
and war, but never have they had
an opportunity to present an organ
lied front such as has been given
them during the past year. "

poured out of pint bottle which 1

and then put his mark on it.

Virginia Highway Toll
Expected to Top 1000

RICHMOND. Va, Oct. 80 LP,.-It
would be wishful thinking to expect
a Virginia highway death toll of
less than 1000 this year, Col M. S.
Battle, director of the Division of
Motor Vehicles, conceded yesterday.
The two worst months of the
year for driving are ahead" he said.
Last November 80 persons were
killed and 113 died in accidents in
December. If the record for the last
two months of 1910 is kept up our
toll will run beyond 1890"
The official death toll fer the first
six months of the year showed 459
deaths, 112 more than for the first
half of 1910. and the unofficial toll
up to yesterday was $40. a figure 180
greater than at the corresponding
date a year ago.
