inhabitants of French West Africa.
For more than two years, by your
daily efforts to come to the aid Of
the motherland, you have demon
strated your attachment to the unity
Of the empire. This attachment you
have proven magnificently in Sep
tember, 1910. when you met base

To-day new menaces. ring out
against you to which in other parts
of the, empire heroic defenders sue
cumb under the weight Of numbers,
knowing their sacrifice will not be
in vain when the day OF justice
dawns.
These menaces, as you know bet
ter than anybody, have not the
shadow Of pretext-it is with the
most legitimate pride that I affirm
that despite the most anguishing
difficulties France never since our
defeat has failed in her word.
Il bring you the assurance that
she shall not fail in it in the
future.

VICHY, Oct. 23.-The threat
Of force was invoked by German
occupation authorities in Paris
today as they stepped up their
efforts to recruit skilled French
workers for labor in Germany's
war industries.
Issuance of the threat by the
German commander for Greater
Paris followed the non-appearance

appear at railway station yester-
day for transportation to the Reich.
Another batch Of workers i'm

forceful measures" ...
The warning came as Pierre Laval

Woman Given Trial
As Operator Of
Capital Streetcar
But Company Denies
Test Is Port of
New Policy

Shattering all precedents of the
Capital Transit Co., a young lady
has been seriously going through
the processes of learning to operate
streetcars in the District for the
past 10 days, E. D. Merrill, president
and general manager of the COM
pany, disclosed today.
She is Mrs. Helen Blau, who, Mr..
Merrill explained, was brought into
our employment Office in accordance
with our efforts to replace men by
women in the various office posi-
tions wherever possible.
I'VE do not have any present plan
for employing women as streetcar
operators" Mr.. Merrill pointed out.
What the future may require along
that line, we cannot say at this
time"
Mr.. Merrill said Mrs. Blau agreed
to go through the process of learn
ing to operate the company's vehi-
cles "in order that she may better
understand the work of operating
street cars so that she can more
effectively carry on the interviewing
and other work in the employment
department"
However, he added that in addi-
ton to the present purpose of the
tests by Mrs. Blau there is also
the consideration that the expert
ment will give the transit company
better knowledge as to the ability
of women to operate streetcars so
that we will be prepared with such
information if and when it becomes
necessary to proceed along that
line"
Holder of an M. A. degre in psy-
chology from Columbia University,
Mrs. BIau has been in the employ
of the Capital Transit CO. for the
past six weeks. Her status with the
company is that of personnel
worker in the employment office,
where she is associated with the
work of hiring bus and streetcar op-
orators.
Company officials said Mrs. Blau
is the first woman in the history
of the Capital Transit Co. to op-
crate streetcars in the District.
They pointed out, however, that her
experiments have been conducted
with empty streetcars, carrying no
passengers, during the middle part
of the day.
Several inspectors of the COM
pany have been instructing Mrs.
Blau with her work. To date she
has not driven a streamline street.
car or bus. Officials said they
expect Mrs. Blau to try her hand
at operating streamline streetcar
in the near future.
When seen at her work, Mrs. Blau
was attired in a trench coat and
wore the regular cap worn by op-
orators of the Capital Transit Co.
She has been observed, during her
experimental runs, driving one of
the large old-style type streetcars
through the busiest sections OF the
city.
officials of the transit company
said they were not yet ready to
release any data on their findings
regarding the tests of Mrs. Blau.
They also said that many women
have sought to make applications
for positions as drivers of transpor-
tation vehicles in the District. On
this score, Mr.. Merrill emphasized
that there is no plan at present by
the company to employ women op-
| orators

Bennett Of Support
Without Strings
Letter Expresses Hope
For Victory Over Dewey
In Governor Race

President Roosevelt declared
today that there are no strings
to his support of John J. Ben
nett, jr., Democratic candidate
for Governor of New York.
In a letter to Mr.. Bennett the
President expressed the sincere
hope" that he and not Thomas E
Dewey, Republican, will be our next
Governor"
The Presidents letter, made public
at the White House, was in reply tc
telegram from Mr.. Bennett report
ing that stories had been spread tc
the effect that Mr.. Roosevelt's sup
port 'is not wholehearted."
The President, before Mr.. Bennett
was nominated by the State Demo-
cratic convention in August, had
supported Senator Mead for the
nomination. Some time ago he in
dorsed Mr.. Bennett as the best
qualified" of the candidates.
James A. Farley, who directed Mr.
Roosevelt's 1892 and 1886 presiden-
tial campaigns but broke with him
in 1910 over the third-term issue,
supported Mr.. Bennett. There had
been considerable political specula-
ton as to just how far the President
would go now in supporting Mr.
Bennett in view of the prenomina-
ton controversy.
Presidents Letter.
Mr.. Roosevelt's letter to Mr.. Ben
nett today follows:
~ have your wire and appreciate
your bringing the matter to my at
tention. I have been getting some
reports myself of whispering cam
paign which seeks to spread false
rumorS.
ITO suggest that my support OF
you is formal and lukeWarm is an
untruth. want to make it perfectly
clear that I mean what I said-that
you are without any question the
best qualified of all the candidates
for the governorship.
There are no strings to this in
dorsement.
81 do not believe in protest voting.
Il accept as a fact that can count
on full cooperation and unity be-
tween the conduct of the affairs of
New York State and those of the
National Government you are
elected.
GAS a citizen and voter of New
York express the sincere hope that
you and rot Mr.. Dewey will be our
next Governor. Under you there
will be no danger that the long
series of enactments of liberal legis-
lation for the benefit of the avero ge
citizen during the past three gov
ernorships will be repealed or
emascuiated."
Benefits Telegram.
Mr.. BENEFITS telegram to the
President, also made public by the
White House, follows:
You Of course know how much
appreciate your support in my cam
paign fcl the governorship Since
your statement there have been
many who for motives of their own
have spread stories that your sup
port is not wholehearted.
II have also neard of stories being
spread to the effect that nv rela-
tionships with you were not COM
pletely harmonious. I am sure that
we both agree that such statements
are entirely without foundation in
fact. I know that when you ex-
pressed your support of me yo,
