JAiews tie view of Current Events the World Over Hitlerites Demand Control of German Government?? Bonus Army Is Ordered Home by Its Commander ?Chapin Succeeds Lamont in Cabinet. } By EDWARD W. PICKARD ONCE more the voters of Germany frustrated the plans of Adolf Hitler and his National Socialist party to get control of the govern ment of the reieh. In the parliamentary elections the Xa$Js about doubled their representation in the reiehstag. electing 229 members, hut they were still far short of a majority. In con sequence Chancellor Von Papen and his cabinet, representing no party but with Adoiph Hitler the backing of the junker element, de clared they would hold on. The Nazi leaders, who might combine with the Junkers, were said to have rejected that idea and were determined to de mand the selection of one of them selves as chancellor and another as minister of the Interior. Just what the outcome of the political struggle will he cannot he determined until the reichstag meets at the end of August. Of the twenty-one parties contest ing,' only 13 gained seats under the official apportionment; thus eight par ties lost their entity for the time be ing. Besides the fact that it brought no Rightist majority, the election's next biggest surprise was the strength de veloped by the Communists, who will have 89 instead of their former 77 seals. That the "middle of the road" 1 course no longer appeals to the German voter was believed Indicated by the crushing of the moderate par ties of the right, even including Hug enherg's Nationalists. MGR. IGNATZ SEIPEL, the great priest-politician who formerly ? was chancellor of Austria and still was helping direct the destinies of his country, died at his home near Vienna of diabetes and complications of the lung due to the presence of a bullet fired at him hv an assassin eight years ago. Strangely enough his death saved the government of his party, 1 the Christian Socialists, from defeat in the parliament and consequent downfall. The government needed Seipel's vote in parliament to defeat a no con fidence resolution Introduced by the Tan Germans and backed by the So clalists. Under Austrian law, deputies cannot vote by proxy. Seipel's severe Illness prevented him from attending parliament. Less than an hour after Seipel's death. Chancellor Dollfuss ap pointed a local hanker, John Wnn enra. to take his seat. Wnncum hur- 1 rled to parliament, arriving just In tfine to vote for the government. That vote saved the cabinet's life, the count 1 bring deadlocked 81 to 81. PWtAGUAY and Bolivia are in arms reailv to engage in real warfare for possession of the disputed Gran Chaco region, where already their frontier forces have been fighting and the Bolivians have attacked several Para guayan forts. Mobilization was or dered In Paraguay, and was expected any day in Bolivia. In both countries there were great demonstrations of 1 patriotism and the war fever was high. The United States appealed to the ' two nations to cense warlike activities end submit their dispute to arbltra- 1 tlon. being joined In this effort by Mexico. Colombia. Cuba and Uruguay. Argentine. Brazil, Chile and other Latin American-countries added their pleas for a peaceful settlement, ahd collective cables were sent to Para guay and Bolivia Informing them they were violating the arbitration treaty adopted at the Pan-American confer ence in 1928. Bolivia already had noti fied the neutrals she would settle the Gran Chaco dispute "even hy the force of arms." A similar reply was sent hy her to the league of Nations. Paraguay agreed to arbitration. Both Bolivia and Paraguay claim the whole of the Cliaco as between the Paraguay and Pilcomnyo rivers. Actually the territory Is nhorir equally divided now as far as physical occu par ion goes. Robert p. LAMONT of Chicago . resigned as secretary of com merce In order to return to private business. His retirement frotn the cabinet had been expected for ao;ae time. To aucceed him President Hoo- | ver selected Roy D. Chapln of Detroit, I who has been chairman of the board i of the Hudson Motor company since J Mr. Chapin, who was born in Michigan in 1880, has been a close friend of Mr. Hoover for many years and is a lifelong Republican. He Is married and lives at Grosse Pointe farms, Michigan. REAL warfare broke out at the Dixie Bee coal mine, ten miles from Terre Haute, Ind., where trouble had been brewing for months. Five thousand union miners &rmed with rifles attacked the nonunion workers and in the battle one of the former was killed and a number on both sides were wounded. The defenders, num bering less than a hundred, took refuge in a small building and were there besieged for 48 hours. Governor Leslie was asked to send state troops, and more than S00 National Guards men were ordered to the scene under command of Col. Paul Sieberling. Be fore moving against the line of union pickets the colonel and his aids scout ed the region in airplanes. The troops then advanced, early in the morning, and the union forces van ished swiftly without firing a shot at the soldiers. The beleaguered miners were rescued, four of them being wounded. Among them was one wom an. Colonel Sieberling established military patrols around the mine. Reverberations of the ousting of the bonus expeditionary force from Washington continued to roll Dver the country, and it was evident the political foes of President Hoover would take full ad vantage of his ac tion, notwithstanding the fact that it seemed to have gen eral approval. Weary and bedraggled, some nine thousand mem bers of the B. E. F. made their way to Johnstown, Pa., at the Gov. Pinchot invitation of Mayor McCloskey, but Gov. I Gifford Pinchot said they would not be permitted to camp there until con- ( Kress meets, as they wished. At the saine time Pinchot bitterly attacked the President for the way the men had been treated in Washington. Then a Maryland woman ofTefed a big plot of ground in that state for a camp, but Governor Ritchie put a quietus on that plan, chiefly for reasons of sani tation. Walter W. Waters, leader of the "army," issued orders for its disband ment, but later produced a new scheme?separate camps in each state ?and said various governors had made "favorable" replies to his com munications. To the men in the Johnstown camp Waters said he did not intend to make another march to Washington; that the bonus seekers would fight their battle at the polls. A coroner's Jury in Washington ex onerated two policemen who killed two of the bonus marchers during the riot ing that preceded their ousting. Fitl?D C. CROXTON, who was ap pointed assistant to the directors r>f the Reconstruction Finance corpo ration to pass on loanfTto states, called on all governors of states seeking fed eral relief funds to send with their applications statements showing esti mated relief needs for each of the remaining months of ids'j and lists of the municipalities and other po litical subdivisions for which fundj are required. Governor roosevelt opened his speaking campaign with an address over the radio in the course of which he attacked all Republican administrations since Wilson for extrav agance. in Washing ton it was predicted that this would evoke a sharp response from Calvin Coolldge. one of whose proud boasts Is that his ad ministration reduced the public debt about $1.0*>0.000.000. Others I of Roosevelt's accusa tions and tssertions F. C. Walker were doe for notice from President Hoover In his speech j of acceptance on August 11. The J Democratic candidate was cheered by the announcement that Governor Ely Ul JlMSSttCUUSfllB, ? lit) (llll Al In nomination, would support ;he tick et, and also by a call from the former national chairman, John J. Itnskob. Chairman James A. Farley an nounced the appointment of Frank C. Walker as treasurer of the Demo cratic national committee. The post had been vacant since the resignation of James W. Gerard last spring- Mr. Walker lr a New York lawyer of con siderable note. Republican National Chairman- Ev erett Sanders made a call on Calvin Coolidge recently and afterwards con firmed the report, mentioned above, that the Sage of Northampton would take part In the campaign in behalf of President Hoover, probably making several speeches in October. METHODS of Spreading employ ment, especially the plan of shortening the working hours of those now employed, were the subject of discussion in several conferences in Washington between a group of New Englanders and the administration. At the beginning of the week Presi dent Hoover was represented in the talks by Secretaries Doak and Lamotit, who have studied the problem care fully under direction of Mr. Hoover. Returning from the Rapldan camp, the Chief Executive joined in the con ferences "to review the situation and see what further co-ordinated steps can be taken." The New Englanders were members of a recent joint con ference on re-employment and sought national cooperation in "achieving job security by job sharing." UNCLE SAM is willing to partici pate in the world economic con ference sponsored hy tiie League of Nations, the invitation having been ac r-ni.in/l Kit tlin Ctntn department. But it is stipulated that war ? debts and reparations nre not to be subjects of discussion at the meeting, and specific tariff rates also are barred by the United States as topics. The invitation, indeed, made these excep tions. Neither the date H. H. Dundy nor the place where the conference Is to be held has been settled. It has been generally assumed that the conference would be held In London although reports have been circulated that it might be held in the United States. Indications are. how ever. that the conference will be held in a nation signatory to the League of Nations covenant. The date for the conference may not be set until after the conclusion of the imperial conference at Ottawa. That the subject of war debts Is still alive in Washington as well as In Eu rope is Indicated by the recent report that Harvey H. Bundy, assistant of state, is in Paris with secret instruc tions from the Department of State relating to an adjustment of the French debt to America in proportion to the extent to which France is will ing to disarm. More will he heard of this later. Our senators who oppose cancellation or reduction of the war debts are keeping close watch of de velopments. and believe it will be im possible to exclude that isswe from the coming economic conference. COL. BENNETT C. CLARK. son of the late Speaker Champ Clark, won the Democratic nomination for United States senator from Missouri, defeating Charles M. Howell, former Democratic state chairman, and other aspirants. Clark Is thoroughly wet. Henry W. Kiel, accord ng to incom plete returns, was nominated for sen ator by the Republicans. In the Kansas primaries Senator George McGill and Gov. Harry II. Woodring won renomlnation^; and the Republicans apparently had chosen Ben S. Paulen for senator and Alfred M. I.andon for governor. McGill. Paulen and Landon are listed as drys. THOSE Who are Interested in base ball?and what American isn't? ? were not wholly surprised when Pres ident William Veeck of the Chicago National league club announced that Rogers Hornsby had been deposed hs manager of the Cubs and the place given to Charles Grimm, first base man. who has been the team's care tain. Hornsby was let out of the club entirely, hut his salary will be paid to the end of the year. Rogers, it is !:r. i ? n, didn't thuik the ic&Sl ?rtf as good as Veeck IXthl It. and he was severely critical of the players' short comings. Philip K. Wrigley. owner of the Cubs, said in Chicago that while he knew Veeck was dissatisfied with the way things were going, the change in managers was made without his knowledge. CAPT.

BURGESS Pi*.ibis lt.Mstui was ootn nappy an^l nnlmppy. That Is a tunny way to ho, isn't it? Hut It was true, lie was happy because ho was trying to satisfy his curiosity. Ho is always happy when he is trying to do this. And he was unhappy because lie didn't know how to go about It. You sec tie was trying to And the home .of Hat ties the Kingfisher and he didn't know Just where to look for it. He knew very little about Hattles. who lives very much by himself and has little to do with the rest of the Quaddies. Peter had been told that Hattles makes his home in a hole in the ground. At first he didn t believe it. The idea of a bird living in the ground! Hut when Grandfather Frog said it was true Peter had to believe it because he lias the greatest respect for what Grandfather Frog says. What Grandfather Frog doesn't know about his neighbors Is hardly worth know ing, for he is very old and accounted very wise. He had told Peter that he didn't know just where the home of Hattles was, because it was none of his busi ness, and that if he had known ho wouldn't have told Peter, because it was none of Peter's business. This was quite true, hut I suspect that it made Peter all the more anxious to find that home. Peter is always inter ested In the affairs of other folks. He Just cannot seem to help it. So he made up his mind to find the home of Hattles if it took him nil summer. He began to suspect that It might. i Hunting Tor n particular hole in the ground without any idea where it was likely to he was a good deal like hunt ing for a needle in a haystack. You see there are so many holes in the ground, some in the Green Forest, some in the Green Meadows, some in the Old Orchard, some in the Old Pas ture. some around the Smiling Pool, some along the Igntghing Brook, though he had never been there, he suspected that there were some along the Big River. First Peter sat down and tried to remember all the holes of which he knew, and he knew of a great many. You know he makes use of holes to escape from his enemies, and so he makes it his business to know about all the holes where lie is in the habit of going. '"It must be a hole that s>me one else has dug." thought Peter, "because however could a bird with such little feet as Rattles Kingfisher has dig a hole? Of course it Isn't a hole that anyone else is using, so it must be an old hole. I'll go visit all the old holes I know of." Off he started. Ilpperty-llpperty-lip. to \isit nil the old holes he could re member on the Green Meadows and in the Green Forest, lie didn't once stop to think that never had he seen Rattles on the Green Meadows or in I he Green Forest, except along the Laughing Brook. If he had he would have saved himself a lot of trouble. But Peter is that way ; he thinks of only one thing at a time. Just then it was holes in the ground. So he pretty nearly ran his legs off visiting all those old holes. Finally he Just had to sit down and rest. He was tired and he was discouraged, but he was just as curious us ever, and he had no Idea of giving up. Jimmy Skunk happened along just then. Al though Peter didn't know It, Jimmy had been watching him for some time. ? I.ost something":" inquired Jimmy. Peter looked at Jimmy with such a look of surprise that Jimmy laughed right out. "No, 1 haven't lost any thing. Why do you ask?" said Peter. "You have been running about as if you were trying to find Something, and so I thought you must have lost some thing," replied Jimmy, who didn't think anything of the kind, but said it Just to find out what Peter would say. For a few minutes Peter said noth ing. He fairly ached to ask Jiramv If he knew where the home of Rattles was. but he was a little ashamed to. "I've heard." said he. "that Battles the Kingfisher makes his home in a hole in the ground, and it seems such a funny thing for a bird to do that I have been visiting all the old holes 1 know of Just to see if it is true, but I haven't found it yet. You don't hap pen to know where his home Is. do you. Jimmy?" "No." replied Jimmy, "and I don't want to know. But If I did I wouldn't spend my time on the Green Meadow? or in the Green Forest. I'd look around these places where Rattles is most often seen. Did you ever see him very far from water?" "No," confessed Peter; "I hadn't thought of that." "Well, think about It now." replied Jimmy Skunk, and went on abo*t his business. <?. 11)1.by T. W.

A city sees, a city knows 1 had left hills of green behind The hot gray pavement here to find. ' Your streets,"' I said, "are like a flame" "AnfLyet," Chicago said, "you came. Yes, cities are as maidens are; They know their charm, they know their lure; And men may sail however far. And breathe an air however pure. And men may talk of huddled roofs. And give you facts and give you proofs That city walls are prison walls That cago free men?yet something calls. This calls: not roofs nor wal!j nor streets; It Is tho calling of our kind: For here the heart of Demos beats. And here humanity you find. The city calls to men who roam. Whatever city is their home. For "home" is not the only word? It is the calling of the herd. <.? 15::. i>>i.r:*? MI >?wsr s^rTi??.

Following tests recently ' made by the Commerce detriment Washington, a Pittsburgh department store experimented with the influence of various perfumes on feminine taste in hosiery. It was discovered that women unconsciously select a perfumed stock ing In preference to an un perfumed one. Most of them prefer a narcissus aroma. So perfumed hosiery will be soon be offered everywhere. The photograph shows t sales girl conducting the tests with Victoria Burdeli and Jean Lewis.
