RECORD OF LEWIS nounced today that France had called "certain reserves" to colors as a "precautionary measure." The call went out last night, the official said, after Germany Jud moved an estimated 60,000 troops into her new Siegfried line of fortifications, across the Rhine from France's famed Maginot line. "We can give no concerning the number or location i of these reserves," the official said. "We are watching the situation closely and will continue to do so." He emphasized that there was no immediate cause for alarm on the part of the French public.

The accident occurred at Dorsey's crossroads, about three miles east of Winfield. The eastbound car in which Mrs. Pyles and Miss Pyles were riding, and which the daughter was driving, left the highway, mounted a bank, struck a pole and turned on its side. A witness was quoted as saying that a westbound automobile had siverved partly across the road. Miss Pyles.

It was reported that some person near the scene gave chase in an automobile, xvas outdistanced, but was able to secure the license number. Injuries to Mrs.

The attack, which occurred an hour after the plane left Hongkong for Yunnan, followed a similar incident in which 14 persons lost their lives August 24 when a plane of the China National Aviation Corporation, Chinese and American owned, was forced down near Canton.

by a Washington-bound motorist who turned in the alarm to the GaUher-sburg Volunteer Fire Company. It was believed that the barn had been burning for half an hour before the blaze was discovered Firemen said the fire was beyond their control when they arrived and they confined their efforts to saving a large dairy barn nearby. The farm, owned by Anderson, who resides in Gaithersburg. is tenanted by M. C.

Groff and some other hired help who reside on the property. The reflection from the fire was visible for more than ten miles but according to Anderson the dairy barn shielded the light from the dwelling house and prevented Groff from seeing the blaze and sending in the alarm. Gaithersburg and Sandy Spring fire companies sent five engines to the scene but only two were used in saving the other buildings. Water was pumped through a thousand feet of hose- from Seneca river, which flows through the property, but the blaze had gained too much headway for the firemen to combat it successfully. The last supporting rafters of the seventy by fifty foot building had crashed vividly to the ground within an hour after the fire started.

A telephone pole' nearby xvas ignited by the flames but power was cut off before it was burned through and charged lines had a chance to fall. A strawrick within fifty feet of the barn was not ignited by the heat or by sparks which rose straight into the air for at least a hundred yards and then descended vertically to the ground. Gaithersburg firemen said their equipment had been polished for the firemen's parade to be held in Gaithersburg this afternoon. At 11 o'clock this morning they were still polishing the engines which had returned home from the fire at about 5:30 o'clock. Firemen said "it never rains unless it pours." They had cleaned their equipment on Saturday preparatory to the parade and they had to respond to an alarm late Saturday night When they returned home they cleaned the engines again, working into Sunday morning.

Lewis. rcRistered By name, Mr. Roosevelt mentioned in his prepared address pass the 25.000 mark tomorrow when the first registration since 1936 is held throughout the county. The registration will be at each of the county's fifty-nine voting precincts from 9 a.

m. to 9 p. m. Election oflicials have explained that this is not a re-registration, as was the case two years ago. At that time all the old registration books became dead by law, and no one was subsequently entitled to vote unless he entered his name under oath in October.

All of these who survive and still reside in the county are entitled to vote hereafter without registering again, unless some subsequent Legislature decides to revise the poll books. Prior to two years ago the books had gotten so cluttered up with the names of persons who had died or moved away that there were 29.689 names on record, although no one believed there were actually that many voters. The general registration cut out more than 5,000 dead names. Some Not On Books Persons who are entitled to register tomorrow are those not already registered on the county books, and wishing to vote in either the primary election September 12 or the general election November 8, and who are able to meet the qualifications.

The qualification as to age is to be at least 21 by November 8. That as to residence is that the person has had a home in Maryland continuously since November 7, 1937, and has resided in the county for six months. If ha came to Maryland from another state, being then of age, he must have declared his intentions to vole here a year ahead of time. Many declarations of intentions have been filed, by law, with the Clerk of Court The fact that 1937 was not a county election year, however, and little stress was then House has marked for defeat in the Democratic primary. But the President's praise of Lewis was unmistakable, while many hearers, recalling that Mr.

Roosevelt once said that Tydings "wants to run with the Roosevelt prestige and the money of his conservative Republican friends both ou his side," interpreted these words as directed at the senator: "Any man any political party -has a right to be honestly one or the other (conservative or liberal) But the nation cannot stand for the confusion of having him pretend io be one and act like the other."

Lewis, self-proclaimed "100 per cent New Dealer" opposing Tydings for renomination. the President set out on an automobile tour of the shore--fishing-farming section dotted here and there xvith estates of the wealthy--on the eastern side of the Chesapeake Bay.

The Shore has been reported a Tydings stronghold while Lewis supporters assert their candidate has an advantage In western Maryland, his home section. Mr. Roosevelt arranged to make one major speech, at Denton, town 1,000 in the center of the Shore. The President indirectly noted the contention is some campaign advertisements by Tydings supporters that his visit constituted an "invasion" of the state. In tLj connection he remarked that "for two reasons" he had accepted the invitation of T.

Persons registered on city election books are not entitled thereby to vote in county elections, and vice versa.

Neither are the precincts the same. Some of the precinct voting places are the same in city and county elections; some are not. In Frederick city's borders there are eleven county election voting places, three more than the num- jer of city election voting places. This is because all Frederick district whether within the city limits or not has a right to vote in a county election.
