Theodore E. Gregory, British econo- mist and professor of banking of the London School of Economics, concurred. He sald that while it was elgtlrel_v proper, Mr. Castle should refuse “to be bullied or cajoled into, ture dis- closure of the intentions of the Amerl- can Government.” The form of the re- fusal was likely to be misunderstood in Europe and add to the difficulties of the European situation. Debt Revision Held Expedient. In discussing war debts and repara- tions, Prof. Gregory said European re- covery was impossible without & modifi- cation of the existing reparations rela- tions. This view, he said, has been con- firmed by the Wiggin report, d “until statesmen are prepared to face up to the economic realities, economists will be bound to take up a pessimistic atti- tude.” Dr. von Beckerath held that the mat- ter of revision or reparations payments was one of e; cy.

SILVER SPRING, Md., August 22.— Securing of the right of way for the first mile of the extension of Massa- chusetts avenue from the District line into Montgomery County, involving 11 cels of property, is now being done county officials and gagybg 1ghn 3 county engineer, expec po- Siton to “advertise for bids on the and drainage work next week. The road will have a 120-foot right of way, and while the actual width of the paving has not been definitely set, Engineer Shaw said today that he ex- pected it would be wide enough to ac- commodate four lanes of traffic with the probable width of 38 feet. To Complete This Fall. Provided no difficulty is had in curing the various pieces of property necessary for the right of way, the grad- ing and drainage contract is expected to be awarded in time for this phase of the work to be completed this Fall. Only one mile of the road will be graded at this time, Shaw said. This will extend the road from the District line to the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad line, where an underpass or overpass will have to be built before it can be continued to River road, the ultimate destination of the project. Street Bids Expected. Bids for the paving of the streets surrounding the Rockville court house square will be received by the county commissioners next week, Mr. Shaw stated. This work will include all but the main street of the town, which will be widened by the State Roads Com- mission.

By the Assoclated Pr BOISE, Idsho, August 22— Three more settlements, Piloneerville, the Golden Age Mine and Grimes Pass, were evacuated tonight in the path of the fire roaring in the timber of Boise Basin. ‘The attack of the blazing demon on the new front forced dozens more fam- ilies out of their homes and formed the Nt Guard tents were sheltering them from the cold nights which have already be- gun to menace the 200 or 300 refugees from the burned towns of and Granite Creek. The latter two, Ol Gold mining towns, were razed Thurs- day night. Several ranches on the south fork of the Payette River in the vicinity of Garden Valley also were evacuated to- day. Other families packed their be. Jongings in trucks and wagons and pre. pared to move out on & moment's notice. The fire today ran wild in the vicinity of Pioneerville and Grimes Pass and broke out of control near the head of Alder Creek. An observer who mounted the ridge nearby said fires were burning in every direction as far as he could see. Huge columns of smoke bellowed up from al- most every draw and canyon. Clouds, augmented by the smoke, blotted out the sun over Placerville. Backfiring was completed on a wide front almost all around the town and foresters expressed conviction late today that the town was saved. ‘The fate of other towns was more doubtful. Flames have cut telephone communi- cation between the forked canyons in which the dozen little mines and mining towns are located, doubling the diffi- culty of distributing fire crews to new | outbreaks.
