SEE BOLSHEVISM GROWTH IN FRANCE Nationalist Leaders Alarmed at Radical Tendencies of School Teachers. B the Associeted Press. PARIS, September 16.—The spread of bolshevism in France is beginning to attract the attention of political lcaders and government authorities The eventuality of a dangerous growth of communism in this country alwavs has been regarded as very Temote because of the natural con- ive tendency of the farming ent, which outnumbers the labor- ately, however, evidences have been discovered that the bolshe- Vik virus has penetrated the antry, thought until now to be proof against all subversive doctrine. This outcome is attributed to the influ- ence of school teachers. who are arifting more and more toward ex- treme radicalism, Teachers Make Protest An example was urnished the oth- er day when a monument to the schaol teachers killed on the battle- field was to be inaugurated in the Department of Morbihan. The school teachers’ association of the depart- ment decided by a large majority that the inauguration should not be al lowed to take place uniess the in scription. “To the School Who Fell on the Field of 3 as changed to “To the Victims of the War™ They also demanded that here be no mention of France or the “fatherland” in any speeches. and tat the “Marseillaise” be neither pfayed nor sung. The unsuspectedly large proportion oF the teachers of that department whn to bolshevism has started an in- @uiry into the state of mind of teach- ers generally, and one functionary «f the department of education said ‘he Communists were certainly in the #tajority by a considerable margin. In some departments teachers have prepared their own texts for die- tation to pupils in which they have carefully cut out everything that in the reguiar text books smacks of patriotism or history. Iiven the word “international” is becoming un- popular with these extremists because of the last three syllables. The fight between classes is the pervading sentiment in the cxamples of these improvised text books that have come to the notice of the au- thorities. How to deal with the sit- uation is a hard problem. The present government is inclined to the great- st leniency in such matters, and the school teachers’ influence in rural dis- ir of combating him on his own ground The Communists took 800,000 votes from the Socialists in the recent elec- tions, and the coalition of the latter with the Radicals is expected to drive 4 great many more toward bolshev- i8m before another election is held In this the school teachers’ influence is not felt, but it is thought that the present generation of country school children will. if there is not & reac- tion in the meantime, swell the Com- munist ranks immensely when it be- comes of voting age.

Two armies reported marching on the great wall of China from the north threaten to make that “eighth wonder of the world” once more the front-line trench of China. Built in the thitd century before the birth of Christ. to be a barrier between civil- ized China and barbaric Mongolia, the wall has been the scene of hundreds of conflicts for the dragon throne “The ‘Wan-li-chang-cheng.’ or Myr- fad Li Wall, as the Chinese call it, extends more than 1,250 miles, while its turnings and windings make its actualy length almost 2,000 mlles. This means that it would stretch from Portu- gal to Naples or from Philadelphia to Topeka, in nearly the same latitude,” says Adam Warwick in a communi- cation to the National Geographic Societ Formx Racial Boundary. “At all times and at all seasons will march In three divisions and will | bring up the rear of the parade.

Albert J. Headley, chief of the traf- fic bureau of the metropolitan police, addressed the meeting and told of the arrangements for roping Pennsylvania avenue and for the protection of the public at the Monument Grounds. He assured the committee of his hearty co-operation. Sacred Heart parish held a rally last night, presided over by President M. A. Rattigan, at which 350 men were in attendance. Mgr. P, C. Gavan, pa tor, and Father Moran, spiritual di- rector of the branch, requested the men to make a good showing next Sunday. President Rattigan expects to have 700 men in line. St. Martin’s parish, at a recent rally, appointed a committee of 15 men to interview the residents of upper North ‘apitol street and interest them in lecorating their stores and homes | during the convention, The parish the great wall gives the impression of being a boundary between two worlds—not only a natural boundary, but a racial boundary also. It is’ as Geil says, W dividing line between two civilizations and two areas. In spuce it cuts off the herdsmen of the north from the tillers of the south. The wave of true Chinese civilization rolled southward, engulfing all it met on its way until it reached the boundary of the occan. Thus all, from wall to water, owned the sway of the sons of Chin.” “The great wall was never effec- e. China was overwhelmed again and again in spite of it by the huge racial movements of the Tatar hordes, which for 2,000 years devastated Asia and cven troubled Europe. But it did prove valuable as a rampart against petty raids, and its moral effect on any but the greatest con- querors must have been tremendous. “Only a man with stout heart and tremendous military resources would dare attempt a passage of a barr: whose watch towers in accessible passes were only 100 vards apart and even in the remotest wilds were never more than a mile from one another. Citles Still Use Gates. “Nowadays the idea of the great wall as a defensive fortification is entirely abandoned. It is left frankiy undefended, though the gates at the passes are still closed at night as measure of protection against local disturbances for the cities near them “Chin Shih Huan Ti, & cotem- vorary of Hannibal, first built the ‘long rampart’ stretching from Shan- haikwan, on the seacoast, to Min- chow, in dIstant Kansu. Begun in 219 B.C.. the barrier was completed in 204 B. C. Thus it was 15 vears n building. 7 of which were after the mighty emperor’s death “Three hundred thousand troeps, besides prisoners of war and all the criminals in the land, including many dishonest ~officials, were impressed for work. How these unskilled la- borers accomplished their task with the primitive means at their disposal, how they overcame the physical diffi- culties imposed upon them by the steep slopes of the high mountain Tanges, remains a marvel to this day. Moreover, the problem of getting f»od to them can be judged from the state- ment that ‘of 182 loads of grain dis- patched only 1 would reach its destination, the rest being eaten or sold along the road.’ “Despite the time pended upon it, Chin Shih Huan Ti's mud Dbarrier soon crumbled away. There was so little left of it by the sixth century A.D. that dynasties spoke of building, not rebuilding, the great wall. But when the Mings (1368 to 1644 A.D.) ousted the de- scendants of Genghis Khan from the dragon throne the great wall again assumed much importance. The res- torations of this period were solid, and even elegant, long stretches be- ing incased in brick or strengthencd with blocks of stone. “Throughout the eastern section the wall was made 25 feet thick at the base, 15 feet at the top, and va- ried from 15 to 30 feet in height. It was, in fact, under the Mings that the defenses of the great wall were most fully developed, with more than 20,000 towers which were practically a chain of small fortresses and more than 10,000 signal beacons.” —e GIRL HELD FOR TRIAL IN HOLD-UP ATTEMPT Bobbed-Haired Minnie Wilcox and Companion Face Two Charges. Minnie Wilcox, 19 years old, the bobbed-haired girl foiled on what was admittedly her first incursion into the realms of banditry, was held with her reputed fiance, Edward W. Hans- borough, on charges of attempted highway robbery and felonious as- sault by the Fairfax County grand Jury, vesterday. The couple were captured by John H. Fisher, a taxi driver, on the Fort Humphreys road, the night of Sep- tember 1, after Fisher had been slug- ged by passengers who sought to hold him up with an unloaded pistol. ‘The grand jury also returned bills against George Wilcox, the girl's brother, an alleged participant, who, 1t 18 said, escaped when Fisher gave battle. — and labor ex- is at the gateway to the Catholic University, where the delegates meet.

Holy Comforter branch will hold the first of its drills tonight in prep- aration for its participation in Sun- day’s parade. Drill masters will put the prospective marchers through their paces tonight and again Friday night. The men will assemble at Fifteenth street and Massachusettts avenue southeast at 7 o'clock. Holy Comforter will have 700 men in the procession together with its newly organized Junior Society. Rev. Peter Guilday, professor of history at the Catholic University and a noted orator, will make the address next Saturday afternoon at the monster patriotic gathering of Holy Name men at Mt. Vernon. It is expected that 10,000 men will join in this pilgrimage to the tomb of Wash- ington. Dr. John O'Donoghue, in of the physicians and hospital unit, told the committee of the arrangements made to handle any casualties on the day of the parade. He said he bad the hearty co-operation of the War De- partment which had provided am- bulances and a tent for the Monu- ment Grounds which would be =t- tended by Red Cross nurses. The ambulances will be located along the line of march. Before adjourning last evening the executive committee expressed its ap- preciation of the untiring efforts of Patrick J. Haltigan, archdiocesan president, to make the convention and demonstration successful. Mr. Haltigan has been daily at the head- quarters and has given unstintedly of his time to the work of the execu- tive committes.

Policeman Willlam DuBusky of the first proc the principal complain- ing witness against Lester D. Hau man, a voung white man charged with transporiing and possession of whisky in violation of the national prohibition law. was doubly dis- credited today in the United States branch of the Pblice Court by Judge Gus A, Schuldt, presiding and hear- ing the case. DuBusky had testified vesterday, when the case first came up for trial, that he stood on the west side of Ninth street. opposite u Greek restaur- ant just below Crandall's Central Theater, and from that point of vantage saw the defendant enter the restaurant, walk back to the rear, enter the toilet room, going to the rear of that Toom and placing 4 package of half-pint bottles on the top of the partition. When the officer had given his testimony Attorney Albert A. Stern, representing the defendant, told the court that the evidence of the officer was a surprise and asked that the case go over until today to cnable him to bring in witnesses to show the statement of the officer to be a physical impossibility. The case went over. Yesterday afternoon Judge Schuldt made personal examination of the physical layout of the res- taurant, and Attorney Stern was ready with half a dozen witnesses to prove the testimony of the officer to be_untrue. The court said: “In view of the of- ficer's testimony, let a nolle proseque of the case be entered—or if not the case will be dismissed. On the jacket of the case, written by Judge Schuldt, this notation appears “The court has made a personal in- vestigation of the premises and finds it wus impossible to see into the toilet from the street, as was testified by the office The case was then dismissed.

Because He Defied Evil By the Associated Press. 5 TOKIO, September 16.—T11 fortune, which attended the attempt of A Stuart MaclLaren, British round-the- world aviator, and his companions to fly across the remainder of the globe after leaving Japan, is attributed by the natives of Urup Island, one of the bleak Kuriles, to the airman's own indifference to evil spirits. When Maj. MacLaren's big Vickers amphibian hopped off from Toshi- moye, Vetorofu Island, onc day in July, with Paramushiru Island, at the north of the Kurile chain, as his goal, fogs and wind compelled him to land at Totokan Bay. on the south- west coast of Urup lsland. The bay is exposed, and when the wind rose Maj. MacLaren flew his plane a short distance inland, alighting on a body | of brackish water known as Totokan bog. In mo doing, according to the sparse population of Urup Island, he Fewer Paupers Now In U. S. Almshouses Than in 20 Years There are fewer paupers in alms- houseg in the United States than there have been in the last 20 years and the number per 100.000 of population fs smaller than it ever has been in the history of the country as far as the Govern- ment's reco-ds show. There were 78,090 paupers in almshouses on January 1, last vear, compared with 84,198 in 1910, When the last census of the kind was taken, the Census Bureau an- nounced today. The number per 100,000 of population was 71.5, as compared with 91.5 in 1910 and 132.0 in 1880. There were more than, twice as many male paupers as female last year, while in 1880 the males only slightly exceeded the females Males numbered 53,967 last vea and females 24.123. Of the males more than half were between the ages of 60 and 80 years, the largest percentage being 70 and 74 years of age.

Catholic Welfare Council Urges Exercise of Franchis The civic education bureau of the National Catholic Welfare Conference has issued an appeal to the citizens of the United States to avail them- selves of the privilege of voting in the forthcoming presidential election in November. Pointing out that only 49 per cent of the qualified voters went to the polls in 1920, the appeal asserts that “American democracy expects each citizen to do his duty, and that duty consists primarily in casting an in- telligent vote for the selection of those to whom the people’s power shall be intrusted.” Bankruptcy Plea Filed.

The natives say it is bottomless, and that no man has ever entered its water and come out alive. There is an evil female spirit, the natives be- lieve, who makes a specialty of hand- some men. and when such a one comes to the bog he “vanishes like smoke” and his body is seen no more. Four years ago two sailors attempt- ed to cross the bog by swimming. They were scen (o reach the middie of the lake, swimming strongly. and then together went down without a sound. Maj.

Former Halt Explained. Arrival of the ‘German-built dirigi- ble ZR-3 in the United States may clear the way for revival of the proj- ect for a north polar flight by an American airship, it was said today at the White House. The statement was in response to an inquiry, and while it was indi- cated that no definite plans had been formulated, delivery of the Zeppelin in the United States would tend to overcome some of the objections to the original plan of the Navy De- partment and which caused the project to be called off. The plan for the flight of the Navy dirigible Shenandoah across the Pole was canceled because of ~Pres- ident Coolidge's feeling that it was unwise to risk the ship in such a venture when it was practically cer- tain that she could not be replaced it she was lost on the northern journey.
