Member Kansas Press Association UP TO ENGLAND the crisis which has come about through Hitler's sudden military re-occupation of the Rhine zone, the peace of the world now rests in the hands of British statesmen. The announcement is made from London that they propose to proceed "coolly, calmly and The crisis certainly calls for that. Anything short of it can fan the Rhineland spark into conflagration.

Moreover the circumstances must be persuasive of the wisdom of such a British attitude. The British fleet is tied up in the Mediterranean. Italy is to be reckoned with two scores; its defiance of world order in Ethiopia: Fits sympathy with Germany in the Rhineland move. France can be foolish in its nationalistic furies and must be kept quiet. Russia, always happy at any prospect of a general broil, is in the dangerous equation.

Yet the dominant factor fixing Britain's will to peace is not found in the forbidding complications which Britain would face in event of war. That dominant factor is a recognition of the financial folly another world war would be. It would cap bankruptcy with chaos. with a possible collapse of civilization. England knows it.

If ever a situation suggested a cool, calm and approach, it is this one. DRAFTING THE ISSUE It would seem the most natural thing in the world for the general managers of the coming national Republican campaign to draft a plan of battle in which they propose that all the fire shall be concentrated upon President Roosevelt personally, rather than upon the New Deal. In the first place most of the Republican senators this year who are up for re-election and most of the Republican Congressmen have a long and impressive list of recorded votes in support of the New Deal. It would be hardly, fitting to slam Into the New Deal in one sentence and boost these candidates in the next. Likewise an attack on the Brain Trust, as the main point in the campaign, would have its embarrassments on the hustings.

The educational forces of the country, and in influence they are no inconsiderable factor in, a campaign, might not warm to a general impeachment of the governmental capacity of those of professorial attainment. And after all the man Republican managers are after is the President himself. SECOND BRECKINRIDGE Henry Breckinridge of New York has filed before the Ohio Democratic presidential primaries against Roosevelt. History will hardly repeat itself in this incident but it is evidently doing its best -to do so. Once, another Breckenridge broke into a political race with epochal results.

In 1860 the race was properly between Stephen A. Douglas and Abraham Lincoln. But Douglas, a Northern Democrat, did not suit the Democrats of the Solid South. They revolted, nominated one of their own kind, Breckinridge, and the national battle became a threecornered affair and Lincoln walked away with the prize, a divided Democratic party presenting him with victory. This time this Breckinridge will hardly create a ripple in the troubled sca of politics.

Roosevelt, a Northern Democrat, will scoop him out of the contest in Ohio with neatness and dispatch, and he shows every sign of making another Southern Democrat, Talmadge, turn up his toes in Georgia. THE LOCARNO PACT In 1925 the European powers except Russia met at Locarno and signed a series of treaties guaranteeing mutual protection and non-aggression. The solemn coverants were: (1) Germany and France agree never to fight each other again and to arbitrate all disputes; (2) there shall be a neutral zone in the Rhine country where it touches German, French and Belgian soil; (3) the frontier between France and Germany is to be guaranteed by Germany, France, England, Belgium and Italy. Should Germany attack France or vice versa, the other three powers will go to the aid of the defender. Those words are plain enough.

But they mean nothing now that Hitler has decided Locarno has been outlawed by the Franco-Russian security agreement. For with Russia not in the Locarno pact but aligned with France, Germany feels at a distinct disadvantage. Hitler proposes new guarantees of non-aggression among western European powers, exclusive of Russia, and the fixing of new demilitarized zones. Thus if France should go Communist -and attack Germany, Germany would have western Europe at its side in resisting bolshevism. The Locarno pact, at the time, was flippantly dubbed by Russia as capitalism's last stand in Europe.

Hitler's bold movement is backed by his argument that it isn't much of a stand and is in immineed of bolstering against Russia. BETWEEN TWO EVILS Filing of a suit or two per day in the district court by the HOLC against persons in the vicinity who have failed to meet their tions in repaying the government for home- loans puts Wichita in the thick of a national, development that, in the working out of government credit, can have most important consequences. Persons against whom the suits are directed are alleged to have been insincere in assuming their obligations with the government. These the government intends to weed out. In doing that, title to the property will pass to the government.

Presumably the property then will be tax free. In that situation the tax load upon private property would undoubtedly be increased to get revenue for local governments. To relieve local governments, the Federal government, with this property on its hands, would have to sell -K to private individuals, Would that weaken the real estate market? Undoubtedly it would. Government sales of property do not command market prices. So the Federal government, in foreclosing on homes, is between two evils.

There may be a constructive way out. If there is, the authorities at Washington should make every effort to find it. It is now plain that the tinkerer at Locarno did not fix the Watch on the Rhine. An old man does lose his punch. For instance, G.

B. Shaw saw the Grand Canyon and did not criticize it. Anyhow Doug's marriage will relieve country of speculation about the reconciliation of Mary'n' Doug. Mussolini, who started something in Europe, will be a fool for luck if Hitler assumes the burden ending it. It is not at all unnatural that goosestepping in Germany should start an eruption of goosepimples in France.

Hoover found one good thing in the New Deal. Probably he used a magnet to locate the needle in that haystack. There will be no backing down in Ethiopia, says Mussolini. But there may be some bogging down when the rains start. Main Street may occasionally envy Wall Street.

But that strike proves a two-story town has its advantages over a 50-story burg. Russia announces it will go to war if Japan slices out of bounds into Outer Mongolia.

Kansas Currents Soon political announcements will be made in Kansas by the carloads. And there won't be a surprise in a carload. It is hoped by the Atchison Globe that all Kansas crops grow as rapidly next summer as idle rumors grow the year around. In northeastern Kansas the sugar maples are being tapped these days. And all over Kansas the assessors are tapping the taxpayers.

NEXT 411 424-1 OUR NATURAL IRCES JUBILEE'S PARDNER By JUDD MORTIMER LEWIS Yesterday was Sunday, and I woke up thinking about the Lost Bag of Tripe and the peacock feathers, he told the lady I swiped, and all the time I was letting Jubilee down by his rope and putting on my short britches and sweater and taking out the ashes and going out to the barn I was thinking what I would do to the dirty crook, and while I was milking the dummed brutes he came in with the bunch and asted me did I want to see him about something, and I scowled around at him and told him to stick around and he would find out, because no one could munky with me and get away with it, and he said he hadn't munkeyed with me but he had played a joke on the lady that owns the peacock.

I told him it would of been a fine joke on the lady if my father had lammed the life out of me; but I seen right then that if the joke had been on the lady I didn't have no kick com- ing, so I didn't say any more; but he is going to go too far some of these days. When I went in to strain the milk I asted my grandfather if he thought the backbone of the winter was broke, and he said it looked to him like its backbone was broke and all of its ribs caved in, but he hoped the first robin wouldn't show up toc soon. He said one year when the first robin showed up it lit on a telegraph wire and a blizzard came and froze its feet tight to the wire and a cat clumb up the telegraph pole and when the robin saw it he started to fly so sudden he left both of his legs on the telegraph wire, so then he didn't have anything to light on and he had to keep on flying till he grew some new legs. And then he asted Feeble what she thought of that, and Feeble said she thought he ought to go to Sunday school with us, and everybody laughed and his face got red. Today the world was slushy and everything was sloppy, and when we was going to school one of the firemen had a horse out in the lot to the engine house exercising it, holding a long rope and making it run in circles, and when Feeble hollered hello at him he turned to look at us and the horse jumped and jerked the man flat on his stummick and away went the horse out of the lot and down the street dragging the man in the slush on his stummick and all the firemen laughing and hollering, "Stay with him, Newt!" And when the fireman stopped and got up came back he scowled at us, and Feeble said.

didn't answer me when I said hello." And the fireman said she was his little girl he would drownd her, and she said if she was his little girl he wouldn't need to because she would drownd herself, and the firemen all hollered and we went school, and the teacher said she was glad to see us all looking so happy on the first day of the week. We went to the damn after school and made a fire, because there wasn't anything else we could do. Tomorrow--Thomas' Grandfather Scores HOW IS YOUR HEALTH By WILLIAM BRADY. M. 1 D.

THEY THINK THEY ARE BETTER A young man who notes I do not approve of boozeguzzling informs me that a great many, both old and young, disagree with me. If I were not aware of that I should scarcely mention the matter here. After all, is there 'anything more tiresome than reiteration by teachers, doctors or authorities of things one already knows. whether they are so or not? Doesn't it make you feel an awful fool, for instance to pay a fee for medical advice only to be told you have a "cold" and must be careful not to take more you simpleton? On the other hand if the doctor goes into a scientific trance finds you have a Streptococcus invasion of the antrum, don't you feel that's something for your money? Continues the young man: both old and young disagree with you. The opinions of the young you may not consider important, because of their inexperience.

But I know many men of fifty or sixty, who may be considered to have mature wisdom; who say they know no man who amounts to anything who doesn't drink, and that they are frankly a bit suspicious of any nondrinker. This becomes personal, for I am one of those oddities that do not I am at the virile age of 24 when I ought to be one of the boys. Nearly all of my acquaintances and pals like a bit of a nip. Perhaps the main reason why I never take any comes from my mother's hatred of drink. She had plenty of reason What this country needs right now is a million more mothers like that, and ten million more boys who have greater respect for their mothers' wishes than they have for the boon companionship of defective individuals who require the narcotic action of alcohol to make them feel right.

"After that girl came to see me at the Burlington palace," he said "I told you I'd seen her in Paris. I told you she'd smelt something." "I know you did and I watched her." "You watched her! She was in the room when Saranack found the stones." know she was." "And after I'd tipped you off it didn't sort of hit you then that she might be the woman the case? That she might have put him on to the stones? Why didn't you tell me the stones had been found when you saw me the day after?" Annabelle struggled in vain against paralysis of terror. "I know why you didn't tell me, you double crossing littleThe last word was lost in a sound that was the beginning of a scream. A few minutes later the Lachisse drove on. To the outer suburbs.

To a long, empty road in West Hampstead where it stopped for a moment, then returned to central London. It was half past eleven when Gerald returned to the empty flat. He poured himself a stiff whisky and lit a cigar, which carried him to twelve. He dozed 1 for an hour, then went to make quite sure that Annabelle had not crept into the flat. Just rang the Casualty bretorine station.

He gave a brief description of Annabelle and asked! if there had been a road accident. He was informed that no casualty of that description had been received into any of the hospitals. But a few moments later the telephone rang. 'Referring to your inquiry, made at 1:58, what was the lady wearing?" "I'm hanged if I can he muttered. yes! A green cloak with spangles on it round the shoulders.

A car will be at your flat, in a few minutes and will take you along." Some 20 minutes later Gerald had identified the strangled body of Annabelle. As he left the mortuary the Scotland Yard man who had brought him there plied him with questions. "She said she wanted to have a chat with a woman friend after the show.

She asked me to go home by myself." "I am sorry to have to ask you, Mr. Saranack, but have you any kind of suspicion that perhaps your wife was not going to meet a woman friend?" "I don't think so. Half a minute, though! There is something that sticks out. At the theater, just before I left her, she said she would take a taxi back, dropping her friend at the Gulverbury on the way. But I heard her making the appointment on the, telephone and she repeated the words 'Lachisse And I remember wondering why she would want a taxi if the woman had a car." questions led nowhere.

By There were. a number of other three o'clock he was back in the flat. "Free!" He tried to face the fact that the freedom he desired had been bestowed on him by a murderer. Moreover, he was beginning a shrewd suspicion as to who the murderer must be. mere crook who had wanted her jewelry and her bag need not have strangled her to death.

Vanderlem! And if it was Vanderlem-if it was a crook's vengeance on a crook -it brought Torrance and himself back to the moment when they had decided to elope. And all the ethical platitudes which he had wrecked her happiness and his became so much nonsense. He escaped the humbug of pretending grief for Annabelle. But his nerve was shaken. The flat seemed stifling and he went out.

He was forlorn, lonely, and spiritually afraid. He wanted Torrance -wanted her so badly that twice he was on the verge of going to the flat and waking her with his tremendous news. He watched the dawn from the Embankment. The growing light gave him new confidence. He and Torrance had lived through a mare.

But the nightmare was over and only a sense of shock remained. For the first time he began to realize emotionally that he was rich. He was excited, yearning to talk it over with Torrance. Not for a moment did it occur to him that much to do to bother with those fellows. Now that we have started this nest, I'm in a hurry to get it finished.

Go look for some material, my dear, and forget those Crows. There will be time enough to attend to them later." So to the great joy of Mrs. Blacky the two big Hawks took their wings and departed to look for nesting material. Mrs. Blacky sighed The next story: "A Quiet Neighborhood." he might have wounded her beyond healing.

At seven he went back to the flat to bathe and shave. Torrance was an early riser. wait hardly more than an hour. When came back from the bathroom he saw that a letter had been dropped through the flap. Torrance's handwriting.

"Dear Gerald: This evening Mr. Massiter asked me to marry him. He understands all about you and me and we are both quite -clear headed about it. We are being married under. American law at the American consulate at twelve tomorrow (today by the time you get this) and we are sailing for New York the day after.

I have taken a sensible. view of it, Gerald, and I hope you will do the same and be as contented and jolly as I mean to be. Good-by, dear! All the best. Torrance." At a little after seven Scotland Yard officials arrested Vanderlem. The Lachisse sedan had done it.

There were only forty in London. Working on the register they began with the American- sounding names. Within an hour they had a direct line from a man named Heatherveld. "Sure I have a Lachisse sedan! I lent it to Mrs. Vanderlem, staying at.

the Burlington Palace hotel, and my attorney told me I was not breaking the law. No reason why I shouldn't want to lend it, either. I knew that dame before she married and it's not an American custom to kick, a woman for her husband's Mrs, Vanderlem produced a watertight tale of having been accosted the previous day by her husband while she was driving. He had asked her to get out and leave the car to him and as the law did not require her to betray her own husband she had complied. The news had gone to all stations by three o'clock and round about six a police constable in Camden town reported that he had observed a Lachisse sedan being driven shortly after, midnight into a still unconverted mews.

There were sleeping quarters over the small one time stable and he had observed that the driver had not come out. Detective Inspector Hallicks decided to assume that a homicidal maniac, or alternatively a wholly unscrupulous murderer, was asleep in the room above the stable. He took twelve men for the job. Two of them were in makeup as mechanics. these he "We shall be flat against the wall on both sides of the door that leads up to the sleeping quarters.

You will behave as if you were going to pinch the Lachisse. You'll fall over something, enough to wake him up and let him catch you. He won't shout because if it's our man his voice will give him away. I'm counting on his coming down with a gun and pointing it at you and giving you a chance to run." In the event it was Hallicks himself who pounced upon Vanderlem's revolver and twisted it out of his four men, Vanderlem was overhand. Attacked from behind by weighted and hurled to the ground.

Within five seconds of his opening the door to- frighten the car thieves Vanderlem was chained at wrist and ankle. "Any funny business, Vanderlem," warned Hallicks, brandishing a truncheon, "and you'll get one on the nut with this."

ways to offend is to refuse a drink. I know. Right there is one of the silliest reasons why many wishy-washy young persons start drinking. They haven't the-er-they haven't sufficient personality, spirit, independence, strength of character or selfrespect to decline politely. From the attitude of most men I gather that they have the honest opinion that alcohol makes a man manly.

They believe it does things for a For instance they often declare that "beer is good for you, it cleanses kidneys and nourishes then should the kidneys need cleansing, I wonder? Of course I'm only a doctor and I wouldn't know about that. As for the nourishment in beer, as I have carefully pointed out here now and again, a glass of best beer, any beer, yields approximately 120 calories. A glass of milk yields approximatley 160 calories. It is evident that the d.f's who imagine beer, wine or liquor is nourishing or beneficial are wrong. They just think they are better, stronger, smarter, wiser, when they are under the effects of alcohol.

They had managed to keep above Redtail and, in so doing, they had felt quite safe. But they had not been as safe as they had thought they were. Just as one of the Crows had darted down, intending to strike Retail on the back, the latter had suddenly turned over in the air and struck upward with, those great claws of his. That Crow had lost part of his tail and had received one of the greatest frights of his life. The wonder was that he had not been Not only had that particular Crow been frightened, but all the others had as well.

Such a scattering as there was! In almost no time at all Blacky was left alone. The four other Crows had plunged in among the trees of the Green Forest in four different directions. Meanwhile Redtail had. of course, turned over again and recovered balance. Also, unseen by the Crows.

Mrs. Redtail had approached. in time Blacky saw her. He knew now that the only thing for him to do was to get where the Redtails couldn't get at him, and do it in a hurry. He did.

Now all this time Mrs. Blacky had been sitting on her eggs in the nest in the low hemlock-tree near the tree where the Redtails had begun to build. At she had approved of the idea of trying to make it so unpleasant for the Redtails that they would, decide to go elsewhere. She had watched the attack of the five Crows on Redtail and had chuckled as she saw him twist and dodge in an effort to avoid the attack. But when he had done that clever trick of turning on his back and striking up with those great curved claws, she had stopped chuckling.

Yes, sir, she had stopped chuckling. A worried look came into the eyes of Mrs. Blacky as she saw the Crows frantically making for cover in the Green Forest, and that one of them had lost half of his tail. She knew that there would be no chance of getting help from those Crows again. She knew that they had had too bad a fright to take any risks with the Retails in the future.

They would keep away. What really worried her was the fear that now the Retails might take revenge by attacking her, for she knew that they knew where that nest was. Mrs. Blacky trembled inside as she saw the Retails returning to their tree. Still she bravely kept her place on those eggs.

"Perhaps they'll remember wasn't one those who attacked them." thought she. "It will. be dreadful if they try to take it out on me for what Blacky and the others did to them." The two big Hawks alighted in the tree beside the beginning of their nest. They were excited and they were angry. Mrs.

Blacky knew that by the mere sound of their voices She didn't need to hear what they were saying in order to know that they were very indignant. Redtail was for going over at once to break up Blacky's home. "We don't want people like that for neighbors." said he. "Now I think of it, I believe it was Blacky himself who was the leader of those Crows. Yes, sir, I'm sure of it." Mrs.

Redtail was not quite 'so indignant. You see she wasn't the one who had been tormented, and that made a difference. Then, too, she was too much interested in the building of the new nest to think much of anything else. "Just forget those Crows," said she. "They've had their lesson and they won't bother us again.
