HITLER'S INEPTITUDE rpHE -utter ineptitude or German foreign policy der Hitler has been demonstrated in the last few weeks, a circumstance which doubtless accounts for the domestic crisis in Germany in large part, whatever explanation may be officially offered. After more than a year and a half of milling about in confusion, alarmed by the various threatening gestures from Berlin, signs of a new European policy in which the former allied states are agreed are appearing. It is something the nature of a new entente, and will be based upon an eastern Europe "Locarno" pact, or treaty of mutual security guarantees.

Germany is expected to be a signatory of this pact, along with Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Esthonia, Czecho-Slovakia and Russia. It has not been put together yet, arid the combination may fall. But there is more significance than appears in the surface look of the pact. The significance is in the apparent understanding, not reduced to paper or put in formal and rigid terms, between France, England and Italy. Hitherto more or less at odds over divergent, policies, these states aro rapidly coming into alignment on a policy focusscd on the repression of Germany.

Of course any alliance against Germany is officially denied, and the denial undoubtedly is literally true. But there was no formal alliance between France, Britain arid Russia before 1914, the informal "entente" proved to be an alliance when mobilization began. Just as the contingency against which the old entente was set up was the Invasion of Belgium, as a road to France, the new entente ia reported to be based upon the danger of a German air attack on France and England based on Holland. The development of aviation has eliminated the North-sea and English channel as a moat of defense of Britain, but the new arrangement; reported is essentially based upon the same strategic principle. England is promising, how definitely no one support the hands of France against Germany in return for a promise of protection.

rpHIS in the short space of time in which Hitler has been head of the reich he has driven away all that Stresemann and Bruenlng, in years of effort, built up, policies of conciliation arid compromise. The republic's foreign ministers had driven a wcdgo between France and Britain, won a certain measure of support from Italy, and secured German membership aa an equal on the council of the league of nations. They had materially altered the state of isolation and suspicion in which Germany was left after Versailles. Today in essential points Germany is right back where she was us the mad dog of Europe, to be fenced in, threatened and suppressed at every move. Hitler's fatuous notion that he could frighten the neighboring countries into granting what Stresemann and Bruening had failed to secure by cooperation and punctilious discharge of treaty obligations has been proved to be utter nonsense.

It is, very likely, realization of the essential danger and futility of Hitler's puerile foreign policy which has placed his regime In its present jeopardy. The sophisticated and experienced elements in Germany, which backed Hitler because he appeared likely to restore the privileges of the aristocracy and the domination of wealth, and because he was bitter against the social ists and communists, are the real foes with whom Hit ler is the small fry leaders of the storm troops whom he killed off so liberally three weeks ago. They were but tools in the hands of wiser forces, who are determined that the fate of Germany shall be taken from the and inexpert hands of a megolo- manlac demagogue who thinks a shouted that reaps applause is statecraft. Reports have Hitler extremely depressed, frightened and completely in the hands of the German regular army. Terrible tales of wholesale mas sacres of suspected storm troopers are filtering through Germany and Europe.

Probably much of these reports are rumors magnified by gossip and the sense less news censorship of the nazis. But behind It all there is almost certainly a good deal of truth. Hitlci is still dictator. But it is a question if he is not mcrclj a puppet dictator, soon to be discarded. At best he has failed.

Germany is worse off in every way, at home and abroad. A dictator to maintain his dictatorship must show some results. Hitler has only created confusion, alarmed Europe, and shown his own essential weakness. Unfortunately, he haa destroyed the German repub it is not a pleasant thought to consider what likely to follow when his regime collapses. HE DIED LIKE A RAT rpO THE Globe-Gazette the most important consid oration brought up by the sensational shooting John Dillinger, America's No.

1 badman, is the im pressive lesson it contains for Young America. Here was the highest the term is attained in the field of contemporary crime. By flagrant violation of the law of God and man, Dillinger had made himself known, feared and despised throughout the world. HJs methods differed from AI Capone, his predecessor in the role of ace criminal, in that he wielded a gun himself. In his, later years, at least, Capone delegated tho killing to his.

lieutenants. The trial for Capone and his typo of criminal activity led to federal prison. The trial for Dillinger and his type of criminal activity led before the guns of federal operatives. Although there is a journalism which seeks to surround the life of John DilJinger with a glamorous aura, the fact is that he both lived and died like a rat. Since the day he committed his first burglary, his life has been that of a "galley slave, scourged to the dungeon." He robbed man of both money and life but every misdeed an added shackle about his own liberty and happiness.

The officers who closed in on him Sunday night on Chicago's northside noted his "last hunted look" as he reached for his pistol. That look was symbolic of the soul torture which characterized his life from the day ho perpetrated his first major crime. Romantic youth will find no parallel between the lifo of John Dillinger and their fictitious Hobinhood because DUUngcr's modus operand! wiis essentially one cowardice. He always denied his victims any semblance of a fair chance. Realistic youth, capable of appraising effort and reward, will find in Dillinger's example a mighty argument in favor of "going it straight" out of coldly practical considerations.

Never has there been more eloquent proof that CRIME DOESN'T PAY. PERTINENT or IMPERTINENT How happy vve could be in this new era of jrovcrn- ment money for everybody if it weren't for that subconscious realization that tho tax-collector Is yet to call. rc rt woul be worth a hundred what It cost if Iowa would adopt some of the recommendations contained In it A commutation of prison sentence given on the tf overnor 3 term the behest of a onerfl started in private a bad odor about it.

LOUAN (XENDRKINO. til. O. liECOGNITION OP SYMPTOMS I THE prevention of infantile paralysis, the most important thing to do is to recognize the disease in the early stages, and isolate and treat the patient. By tho time paralysis has set in treatment is usually too late to do any good.

The disease being infectious, it is accompanied by fever. And in the early stages it looks very much like a simple case of sore throat or a cold. The child complains of sore throat and a feverish feeling, with headache, and then usually has some stomach and intestinal upset. Cases of this kind are common enough, of course, and would not receive any attention except in the midst of an infantile paralysis epidemic. Since there is a possibility of such an epidemic spreading over the country, physicians should be particularly on the lookout for these cases In children from 2 to 7 years of age.

This stage lasts several days and then is followed by the pre- Dr. ClendonljiK paralytic stage, In which there is a great deal of muscular irritability, twitching and jerky movements and. finally, after one or two days of this, the paralysis sets In. The paralysis ia due to a destruction of the cells In the anterior part of tho gray matter of the spinal cord. These cells are first line of motor cells, and send out nerve fibers to the muscles.

When they are completely destroyed, the nerve degenerates and the muscle, in the course of time, atrophies. Frequently cases occur in which: there is no paralytic stage whatever, simply short period of fever. When the disease can be easily nized from the paralysis there is very little to be done in the way of atmcnt, and for that reason Diagram of section of nplnnl cord, nerve fiber ntitj muscle.

Berchtoid smiling in Vienna, had given him just 2,880 minntcf to answer, and 12 hours were gone before Pashitch had the ultimatum in his own miners. He hurried In this morning from the mountain hamlet where he was electioneering, on tbc twenty- third, when the ultimatum was flung at his finnnc' minister in Belgrade. His first net was to have the crown prince, ruling as regent, telegraph an nppea to the cr.nr in St.

Petersburg. For the czar had promised him in 3013: "Tell your king that we will do everything for Serbia." The demands had sent temperatures as high in chancellories In St. Petersburg, London nnd Paris as in Belgrade. Even Berlin was surpristd by their harshness. Berlin's spokesmen had sent communications to the other capitals terming their ally's note "moderate and proper" before they saw it! In London, where the people were too preoccupie( with hundreds of assassinations in Ireland to be con cerncd over two assassinations in Bosnin, the foreign minister, Sir Edward Grey, began to be alarmed, lor he "had never before seen one state address another independent state a document of so formidable character."
