ASSA|LS GERMANS
ANNEXATION POLICY

LONDON, June Ga Reuter- dis
patch from Amsterdam gives the fol-
lowing excerpt from speech made in
the house of deputies of the Prussian
diet by Herr Braun. a socialist mem
ber:
1T would be calamity for Germany
to carry out the annexation ideas rec
commended by certain interested groups.
Such a policy is rejected by the social
ist party. The German people want no
conquests. but peace without humilia-
ton or violence
The sitting of the diet was subjected
to much disturbance on the part Of
the socialists, the correspondent adds.
Herr Delbrueck, the Prussian minister
of the interior, announced that Ger
many was able to carry over a consid
cradle reserve of bread grain and DO
tatoes into the new harvest wear, but
that it was desirable to maintain max
imum prices in order to secure control
of consumption. New regulations con-
corning this. he added, would be pub
lshed shortly. He reiterated that it
was Germany's intention to persevere
Herr Wiener d progressive, echoed
Herr Delbruecks sentiments and pro-
tested against the attitude Of some of
the socialists. who. he declared. were
engaging in peace campaign.

Sometime between closing time
Thursday night and Friday morning,
burglar or burglars made their en-
trance into the store at West Benton,
known as the Pilsbury -Jakins store,
and broke into the postoffice which Is
conducted in that building. They fore
ed open the money drawer, wrenching
it from the counter and taking it with
them, in their escape dropping it some
distance from the store. Nothing else
in the store was apparently disturbed.
What they really got was a small
amount of stamps and also a small
amount of change. In their haste a
five dollar bill which had lodged I'M
der the coin till in the money drawer
was overlooked. The money drawer
was found half way between Frank
Chases home or Benton hill and the
railroad track, home distance in from
the sidewalk and in the field. The en-
trance into the building was mace
through the window on the east side
of the store, and near the gasoline
tanks. Tracks Of feet evidently clad in
rubber soled shoes were discovered be-
side the building on the opposite side
from the entrance, but it could not be
told whether they were Of one or more
intruders. The family which lives up
stairs in the building that was en-
tered heard no noises during the
night which might have been made
by the burglars.
