CHEVY CHASE, Md., February 1— The Bethesda and Chevy Chase Vol- unteer Fire Departments made quick runs this afternoon to Rosemary and Maple avenues here, but found that a gasoline blaze which had started in the automobile of Mrs. A. W. Freim had been put out before they arrived. Mrs Freim explained to Policeman James E. Shoemaker of the Bethesda substa- tion that when the blaze started under the hood she grabbed a blanket from the car and smothered it.

CHARGES DENIED BY BERLIN Claim of $25,000,000 Fund for Propaganda Challenged by Stresemann. By Cable to The Star. | BERLIN, Fcbruary 2.—Sharply re-| { jecting Premier Poincare’s charges made yesterday before the French | Chamber of Deputies, that the German government was using tremendous sums for propaganda purposes abroad, Foreign Minister Stresemann told the press to- day that he was completely at a loss to understand how the French premier | managed to figure out the huge amount | of 630,000,000 francs (about $25,000,000), | a great part of which M. Poincare hinted was spent on such propaganda projects as support of the Alsatian | autonomists. | “If M. Poincare,” Dr. Stresemann| declared, “wishes to indicate that there | are approximately 100,000,000 marks of | secret, funds at the disposal of the Ger»; man government, the chief part of| which is spent on German propngandni in Alsace and Lorraine, the question | ought to be put to the French premier on_what facts he bases this assertion.” . Stresemann offered a detailed explanation on the use of the 21,638,000 | marks (about $5,150,000) which is| actually provided in the German budget for so-called propaganda purposes. Of | this, $200.000 is spent on the reguire- ments of the chancellery, while $1,500.- 000 goes to the foreign office, $1.000,000 of which, however, is intended for Ger- | man schools abroad, Dr. Stresemann | said. He added that the ministry of | the interior received $500,000, and (hc‘ ministry for the occupied territories $1,000,000, three-fourths of which is also destined for education, while the min-' istry of defense receives only $250,000 of these funds. “Doubtless,” said Dr. Stresemann, “Premier Poinclire’s utterances will, just before the March negotiations of the | League of Nations, be exploited in the sense of Germany carrying on propa- ganda in order to incite the German minorities in foreign countries.” “I think it most iraportant that my Toward London. gulelsu]on sha{uld;e‘ th beéores}t“m in the | By the Associated Press. ull glare of publicity,” Dr, Stresemann | o added, regretting that standing orders gml.&m%?Nfinen?;;ry::rym,: w},;m:‘:: prevented him from answering the | now marching on London plan to French premier's allegation before the | gather in Trafalgar Square on February Reichstag today. but announcing his| 24 for a demonstration “to rouse the intention of doing so at tke earliest| opportunity.
