HUN OFFICIALS
SIGN OATH WITH
RESERVATIONS
(By The Associated Press }

Berlin, Oct. 27.-The members of the
committee of the German Ma
tional Peoples Party Of officials, those
who hold state positions, have voted
to sign the oath to the constitution
which is obligatory for all state en-
ployes only OH condition that they are
exempt from swearing loyalty and that
they should be allowed to strive for
another form of government other than
the present.
The officials term the oath contra
dictory and declare that the cOnstitu-
ton itself guarantees absolute freedom
of political views and beliefs.
The VOrwaerts sarcastically says
that they will not take the oath to the
republic but do not want to lose their
bread winning positions.
''They could not be more nervy," the
paper adds. "What consideration did
the mOnarchial system give the officials
who had twinges of conscience against
giving the oath to the monarch! it
asks.

/. IN nine MONTHS
BY far the Larger Number
Were for Traffic Viola

during the nine months period ending
Oct 1. Fines and costs amounting to

indicates nothing more serious than
carelessness on the part of the Offend
er.
The report for the first quarter. Dec.
%, 1913, to April 1, 1919, shows eleven
violations and $141.65 collected in fines
and costs. The second quarter, April 1
to July. 1, shows the largest number of
viOiatOrs and Ancs and costs collected.
amounting to $fS4.1O. Nineteen viola
tors were shown in the third quarterly
report with fines and costs totaling

COAL STRIKE EX-
PECTED TO HAMPER
STEEL MILL WORK
(By The Associated Press J

Chicago. Oct. 27.-Leaders of strik-
ing steel workers today discussed the
probable effect of the threatened coal
miners strike Oh the steel industry
and were agreed that it would further
hamper successful operation of the
steel mills.
The rail mill at the Gary plant
OF the United Steel Corporation was
opened today, marking the beginning
Of the sixth week of the strike. This
mill is the largest rail mill in the
world and is regarded as the most i'm
portant unit in the Gary plant
Another blast plant was scheduled to
resume operations at Gary, making
eight in the battery of twelve blast
furnaces there to be in operation.
Mill officials declared the strike
virtually at an end, but strike leaders
asserted that the steel mills were un-
able to produce anything like their
normal output because of the absence
of skilled wOrkncn.

BODIES OF SOLD-
IERS TAKEN BY
RELATIVES LEFT
DIV The Associated Press. }

Brussels. Oct. 27.--Grave rObbing IN
military cemeteries has become more
or less frequent of late. The thefts
of bodies are generally committed by
persons hired by families anxious to
have their dead brought to parti-
cular cemetery or in the burial
grounds OF their home cities. Requests
to remove the bodies have been refus-
ed by the authorities and the result is
that these persons take the law into
their own hands. Parents or rela-
tives of soldiers have been frequently
encountered near military cemeteries
at night seeking to recover ana to
bury elsewhere their loved ones.
