Polish Air Loss Near 700 Planes BUCHAREST, Sept. 26. (AP) Polish air force 1 oases during 10 days of warfare with Germany ar estimated In an unofficial survey at between 000 and 700 planes.

That a one thing every traveller learns, no matter how Btronif an immunity he may have built up against his local germs, when he goes afield, he has to prepare for a different brand, with new tricks for attack. The experience is another reminder of youth for the Middle West brand is quite different from that of the Coast. But it's not the kind of reminder one relishes. Give us the Coast breed every time. At the Mid-Day club, before internment, were surprised to find the sentiment so strong against President Roosevelt's "cash and carry plan." At our table, at least, the count was 8 to 5 against it. Everywhere else we have been the sentiment has been strong the other way. Our next chair neighbor ex plained it by the Chicago Tribune which is fighting the "cash and carry plan" as bitterly as it fought the League of Nations and with much the same reasoning. That may have had some thing to do with it but after listening to the arguments we decided the fundamental cause was Roosevelt, a majority of the Mid-Day club would be against anything the President was for. Main Street "ain't what she used to be." Once upon a time it wns the Euclid Avenue of Rockford, but now, like the Cleveland thoroughfare, it's a first rate business street and a second rate residence one. For 10 blocks north from State Street there are just two green lawns, one in front of an insurance company and the other in front of the Fletcher Barnes residence, which is now owned and occupied by the City Park system. Poor Mrs. Fitch! If she were to drive up the street now in her electric brougham! Iler colonial residence is occupied by a chiropodist with a large sign of a human foot on the stately brick wall and dead grass from there to the fan frieze entrance I The reason for the dead lawns is not entirely due to the decline, neither is it indolence. Had Rockford the water system of Medford the entire street would be beautiful, for those who still live there have their pride. Hut Rockford has a metered water system, and as the grass gets yellow but docsn t actually die, and as there has been practically no rain all summer, the residents figure they can't afford to pay the price, or at any rate they don't. We have a mind to write the local paper about it, nothing ruins the appearance of a town more than dead grass all over the place. But judging bv "the farm" the drought hasn't ruined the crops far from it. The big yellow ears of corn are hanging down, big as a corn huslter s forearm, and a large part has been sold at 50 cents a bushel net. There is good money at that price, for this is a wonderful corn country, ami even on old land the yield is terrific. The prices for hogs and cattle are good also, ditto wheat and barley. But do you hear the owner of the farm kick up 'his heels and rejoice? Not so you would notice it. On our last visit, he couldn't sell anything for enough to even pay for the planting. Now he admits he is making money but it all has to go out in taxes and "do you know what this crazy Government is doing! Why the man down on the corner "80," the worst farmer and land in the country, is getting $2,000 a year cash for planting nothing and his three sons are on relief! (Tins docsn t conform to government regulations regarding the matter, but that has never bothered our farmer friend, THE FACTS. He wouldn't be happy if he couldn't curse the Democratic party, and have something to complain about.) . As far as the mercury goes it is like summer here but in two particulars it is refreshingly different; the nights are cool and there is no humidity night or day. In short, with a rain to lay the dust the climate would be nothing to complain about. . . Will say this for the Chicago Tribune, it has more detailed war news than any other paper we have seen to date, and our list includes the N. Y. Herald-Tribune. On Sunday it had throe or four columns from Berlin giving the details of the Polish campaign from the Nazi standpoint. Paying a high tribute to the bravery of the Polish soldiers, but rapping the high command. We wish Colonel Voorhies were available to give us his opinion from the military standpoint, it doesn't sound like propaganda but a layman is always suspicious. The Tribune today has an interesting article full of statistics showing thnt even if Germany should get the oil of Russia and Rumnnia it wouldn't have enough to conduct offensive war for 12 months. R. W. R. By FRANK JENKINS YHB most Important question fac- Ing the world today Is probably this: Is Hitler ANOTHER NAPOLEON! VkTAPOLEON, starting with a ragged, hungry, poorly -equipped army, with a bankrupt nation behind him, shook the foundations of the estab lished world. (He lost In ths end, to be sure. but tn the 22 years Intervening be tween his rlss and his fall he laid Europe at France's feet.) His genius as a military command r. coupled with amazing diplomatic abllty, enabled him to do what he did. ttlTI.ER has diplomatic ability. It may, of course be a flash In the pan.

BIRMINGHAM Al'TIIORIT During tbs past 17 yean 43.047 persons received antl-rmblei (Pasteur) treatment In Alabama, with a rabies mortality of 0.09 per cent, according to a report pub lished by Dr. Geo. A. Dentoon. direc tor of labora tories, and Dr. J, Dowllng, health officer, of Jeffer aon county, which territory Includes the city of Birmingham, Alabama, popu- 1 a 1 1 o n 152.677 white persons owning 13,013 dogs, 103.520 col ored persons owning 7.507 dogs. All of the census figures were obtained by the health department a a WPA project: as the count was taken years after the passing of Tony the W Irish Terror I think we may accept them as reasonably accurate. In Tony's heyday of aha-what-have-we-here It would have taken all of the squad's ttme determining whether that was four dogs or one tearing around the links. In 1938, 320 dogs (more than 1 per cent of the 20,609 dogs of known ownership) In Birmingham, had rabies, according to the laboratory tests by the health department; In the entire county of Jefferson the health authorities diagnosed rabies In 443 dogs that year. No wonder Birmingham has been called the "rabies capital of North America." The 0.06 per cent mortality from rabies, among the 42,047 persons given Pasteur treatment In Alabama over the 17-year period may seem a favor able showing for the effectiveness of Pasteur treatment. "But perhaps of greater significance," Drs. Denlson and Dowllng point out. "la the fact that of the 48 persons who died of rabies In the same period, 23, or 48 per cent, were Judged to have re ceived prompt and adequate treat ment. The persistence with which fatalities continue to be equally dis tributed among the treated and un treated affords grounds for wide spec ulation." The Alabama authorities point out another observation which should have a reassuring Influence at least on Intelligent readers who are not blinded by superstition and morbid fears. "Actually 43,3 per cent of all persona on whom Information Is avail able ( who received Pasteur treat ment) took treatment without hav ing been bitten." Drs. DenUon and Dowllng assert, on the btuds of their vast experience In dealing with rabies, that Pasteur treatment is rarely warranted or advisable If the person has not been actually bitten or scratched. One exception "of no great Importance" sometimes warrants Pasteur treatment the known con-1 The Capital Parade By Joseph Alsop and , Robert Kintner Released by The North American Newspaper Alliance, Ino. WASHINGTON, Sept. 26. The war time gyrations of the government bond market have plunged the treas ury and federal reserve board Into a bitter policy dispute. The immedi ate question at Issue is whether the government should continue support of its own bonds, but that In turn involves the much broader questions of government control of credit and the new deal easy money policy. Ths truth Is, the decision in the treasury-reserve board controversy will constitute the first of the fund amental and far-reaching policy de cisions which the war emergency will inevitably require the president to make. The current dispute is, of course, only one more expression of the divergence In philosophy between the orthodox secretary of ths treasury. Henry Moreenthau. Jr.. and ths un ort hodox chairman of the reserve board, Marrlner S. Eccles. In this instance, Mordent hau has lined up behind htm In a solid phalanx his under-secretary, the astute John W. Hanes: his new bond market adviser. W. Randolph Burgess, and all his new economists and business liaison men. Eccles Is not so sure of the support of the entire reserve board, but. aa he la ihe dominant figure, he mar be taken to speak for his associates. In the earlier days of the war emergency, when neither Morgenthau nor Eccles was at his post, the problem of the government bond market was handled peacefully enough by a treasury-reserve board Joint committee. Including Hanes: the treasury's best technician, Daniel W. Boll: the vice-chairman of the reserve board. Ronald Ransom, and the governor of the New York re serve bank. O corns Harrison. Condi tions In the market were panlckv. and all paitlrs agreed on the wisdom of extending moderate support through federal reserve system bond purchases.

Beverly Hills, Calif. theory, urging that government bonds be permitted to find their own levol as soon as possible. The Morgenthau argument: Until they feel confident It la not artificial, banks and In vestors will avoid the government bond market. Avoiding It, they will also refuse to pour capital into new enterprise. Thus, prosperity will be retarded, while the government's financing will continue difficult. Eocles. within whose official pro vince are the government bond pur chases, fought for a supported mar ket out of concern for his beloved cheap money policy. The Eccles arg ument: If government bonds are not supported, their price will fall and their interest rate rise proportion ally. With the rise In the government interest rate, money will cease to be cheap, and such boomleta as that In housing will be endangered. Gov ernment financing will not be Inter fered with by the government bond buying, since the urge to sell bonds will weaken as the government buys. Until the beginning of last week. Eccles and Morgenthau hurled their arguments at each other's heads without changing anything much ex cept the state of their tempers. Then, on Tuesday. Morgenthau vir tually commanded Eccles to stop the reserve board bond purchases, stat ing that government financing might b coming soon and that he must know that market's real condition. On Wednesday and Thursday. Eccles abruptly pulled the plug, and gov ernment bonds dropped about two point. On Friday, without consult ing the treasury, Eccles returned to the market with the same abrupt ness, once mors Initiating bond pxir chasea on the old plan. Eccles and Morgenthau. therefore, are now In a high state of rags and mutual accusation. The treasury as serts that the "test" provided by Eccles was really no test at all. hav ing been carefully managed to create the maximum of alarm without giv ing the slightest reassurance. The reserve board snappishly replies that the test was perfectly adequate, and clearly demonstrated that Morgen thau had been talking through his hat from the start. Presumably the dispute must now be appealed to Caesar, In the per son of the president. Morgenthau wants an open Intimation that a "natural" bond market Is the gov ernments objective. This. It is de clared, wtll give the reassurance which the reserve board test is ac cused of lacking. Eccles wants to be allowed to go on In his own sweet way. which, so he believes, is abso lutely necessary to ths new deal credit policy. As to what the presi dent's decision will be. only an all seeing providence can foretell. Miner Killed FAIRBANKS. Alaska.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 38. (AP) A former member of the German relch stag said today the German-American bund sought to provide a nazl reserve here which Adolf Hitler could tap "for any kind of assistance." Gerhart H. Stger. now editor of a New York City German-American weekly, made the statement to the Dlea committee while testifying the bund was an official representative of Germany In thla country. Potential Spy System He told the committee the nazl party regarded all German organiza tions abroad aa sources ."from which It can draw for any kind of activity It would like to have." He agreed with Chairman Dies (D., Tex.) of the house Inquiry Into un American activities that Qermanv. "with 100 poets loyal to the nazl party, would have a potential spy system" in the United States. In addition, Seger quoted a nazl paper as saying: "The program of the young German-Americans ... la: We want to bring the Germans In the United States, who In part have become alienated from the German father land and from the German nation, back to the great community of blood and faith of all Germans. To this end, the spiritual regeneration of the Germans after the model of the homeland is necessary." law Violations Seen The Dies committee decided to transmit to the state and Justice departments testimony which one member said proved the communist party and the German-American bund had violated the registration and espionage acts. Representative Thomas (R N. J.), a member of the house group in vestigating un-American activities, raised the point. "Based on testimony presented to thla committee." he said, "there can be no doubt that the officers and members of the communist party. U.S.A., nad the German-American bund are violating both acta. "In view of the clear cut testi mony showing the close tie-up be tween the communist party and the German-American bund and their foreign headquarters and in view of the national emergency which exists. I think It Is our solemn duty as a committee of the house to Im mediately acquaint both the state and Justice department with all re lating testimony. Chairman Dies (D Tex.), agreed to Instruct Rhea Whitley, commit tee counsel, to transmit pertinent testimony to those departments "if they want it." then added: To Eliminate Reds "We must keep in mind the dis tinction between freedom of speech of Individuals nun n ms.

This would reduce discretionary powers of the president. It would make an absolute embargo on munitions, arms and Implements of wsr and would apply the cash and carry Idea to all other aupplles. Nevada's Plttman has a bill elimin ating the embargo and place every thing, war material and otherwise, on a cash and carry basis. Ths White House leans toward the Plttman pro posal. Straight out repeal of the neutral ity act and authorization of the president to meet the situation with executive orders. Is another bill. But Its sponsor was the late Senator Jamea Hamilton Lewis and with his passing it haa no advocate. NOT even war talk can adjourn polltlca. The administration Is playing with the Commonwealth Federation In Oregon and Washing ton, rather than with the Democratic party organization. This leaked out when Byron Carney, of Oregon City, was selected for state superintendent of the census In Oregon without the knowledge or consent of the Demo cratic state committee. Wires have been received by President Roosevelt, by Democratic National Chairman James A. Farley, and the Secretary of Commerce Harry Hopklna. There is no complaint against Carney personally, hla qualifications or eligibility, but there la a very substantial howl going up because the party was Ignored like a white chip. Among wires sent were those from Democratic Veterans, Women's Democratic League and an assort ment of party officials. IT appeara that David K. Nllea, who was a right hand man for Hop kins In the WPA headquarters (title assistant administrator), has been looking after the political side of the census personnel Hopkins not being well and absent from hla of fice for months and Nlles, not Hop kins, picked up Carney. Whether thla la the explanation, the fact remaina that the census will be a grand patronage Job and aa auch the Democratic state com mittees everywhere have had an eye on it and now.

But there Is one thing lacking to make the event perfect. The children all know they can t all be prize winners. But very few farmers are able, under present conditions, to help their children get thoroughbreds the first year, and lots of them never can have. But they try Just as hard and make as much of an effort as the ribbon winners. Now why csn't there be aome Inexpensive little merit badges given them as encouragement to do their beet acaln next year? This Includes the exhibitors of pure breds who were not prize winners too.
