As explained by the President In a public statement, the treasury officials had been for several days trying to get the veterans to evacuate buildings that were to be demolished In the government's construction program.

The main camp, at Anacostla across the Potomac, was the last to be razed, after all the women and children had been removed.

The way to rule the air, earth's new ocean, is to have airships. France and Britain know it. The British have built the biggest land and water fighting airship in existence. The French are testing their "stratosphere plane," planned to fly from New York to Paris in ten hours. The plane will travel eleven miles up, where the "thin" atmos phere offers little resistance. Its engine, thanks to superchargers, will have vastly increased power at 20,000 feet up, and in the stratosphere, 60,000 feet above the earth, will develop 20,000 revolu tions a minute.

We don't do that here, we are too poor, and besides we haven't any air ministry. With us the airplane is merely "an accessory" under the manage ment ot the Army and Navy.

Let us hope that accusation Is sound, and that we are trying to do something to defend the country. It Is not likely that Musolini is building his ships "secretly." He has always said to the rest of Europe: "You attend to your business, and I'll attend to Italy's business," and unlike ourselves asks no one's permission to build ships or anything else. When men decide to die, usually a decision more or less cowardly, they do it in strange ways. One jumps into a volcano, taking a girl with him. Another goes over Niagara, some jump in front of locomotives, some bang, shoot or drown themselves. Roscoe Griffith went about it deliberately. To ambulance doctors, called by his wife, to find him eating a hearty dinner, he said: "My wife is mistaken, gentlemen, 1 have taken no poison," and he smiled. They took him to the hospital, he walked from the ambulance to the door, and fell dead.
