John. He had gone there with a
purpose. and never. no matter what
the lark we boys had on, did John
ever forget that purpose"

BERLIN EAGER
TO RETAIN HER
CAPITAL STATUS
Citizens Meet and Protest
Against Efforts to Strip
the City

Berlin. June z. - A huge meeting
was held here the other day to pro-
test-against the efforts to strip Berlin
of its status as a capital. Mayor
Wermuth and several others painted
Berlin as a world city of art, a city
for visitors and a city of the future.
Despite its present smuttiness, crime
and disorder, they said, Berlin will
regain its reputation as the cleanest,
safest and best governed city in the
world. Wermuth said that further
disturbances would bring agony, and
urged all to work to improve condi-
tionS.
Sydicus Wilmer admitted that Ber-
lin never was popular especially in
Germany and that Berlin is con-
sidered a black sheep among Ger
man cities" He explained that its
position necessitated the presence of
good, bad and Indifferent.
DR.. Max Osborn declared that i'm
perial Berlin had clogged itself with
lonely buildings and senseless mon
uments. The real Berlin is hidden
behind these pretentious character
less things, but now there is no bar
rier to recreating it as a city of art
without parallel" he declared.

Will Call Nation Wide
Strike of the Telegraphers

Washington, June T. President
s. J.Konenkamp, of the Commercial
photographers Union of America, an
nounced last night that he would
call a nationwide strike of members
of the union upon reaching Chicago
to-day. He said that neither the
GATE of the proposed walkout nor
whether it would affect both the
Postal Telegraph Gable Company and
the Western Union Telegraph and
Gable Company had been decided.
The strike, President Konenkamp
said, would be called in support of
union employees of the Western Union
Company in ten Southeastern States,
who were requested by him to leave
their work, following return by or
der of Postmaster General Burleson
of the wire systems of the country
to private operation.
INDICTMENT QUASHED
The indictment against John Den
chak, a hotelman from the upper
end of the county, who was charged
with selling liquor during the in
fluenZa epidemic, although health
authorities had ordered that no in
toxicating drinks should be sold, was
quashed in an order by the court to-
day. A true bill had been returned
few months ago by a Grand Jury
and the motion to quash the indict-
ment followed.

Mangin Prohibits
Strikes Against the
Rhenish Republic

Berlin, June 6.-A proclamation
by General Mangin, commander of
the French army of occupation at
Mayence, forbidding strikes against
the Rhenish republic and threaten
ing leaders of any such movements
with expulsion, is published in the
Frankfort Gazette.
The Rhinelanders have been dis
cussing the interests of their father
land for the last six months without
disturbing public order" the procla-
nation says, but now the German
government threatens them with i'm
prisonment. They have created a
republic within the German empire
and have sought the right of cleo
ton, in which they will have COM
plete freedom. There Is nothing in
their procedure which might occa-
sion protests or strikes, which dis
turb order and economic life"
The French have a propaganda
fund amounting to 100000 francs
with which to further the movem ent
for the Rhenish republic, declares
the Karlsruhe correspondent of the
Lokal Anzeiger. This sum, he says.
is being used principally in the
Rhineland and Palatinate and 1t is
being partly distributed to those
favorng an independent republic at
Landau. Mayence, Cologne and
Wiesbaden, who without doubt, he
adds, have been bribed."

The wheat tractor which left New
30 reached this city last night on the
first leg of transcontiental run
from New York to Los Angeles. This
tour is the first ever made by a
tractor over the road and has for it's
object a demonstration of the SER
viceability of heavy rubber-tired
road wheels as a part of tractor
equipment. Indeed the cas- with
which this new tractor was handled
from the heart of New York City
to the city limits through a dense
traffic surpassed even the eXpecta-
tions of the promoters of the tour.
Encum bered as the tractor was by u
heavy trailer equipped with a ''pra-
irie-schooner" caboose containing
sleeping accommodations for the
crew and farming equipment ira
versing New Jersey and northern
Pennsylvania, not little local in
terest was aroused especially among
farmers along the route who were
found working their slow-going
horse-drawn plows.
The tractor is manned by a crew
who until a few weeks ago described
themselves as Lieut.. r. III. Irwin, u.
-. ARMY Air SeTNlCeI Lieut.. 6ODefL
T.. Mackenzie, u. S. Tank Corps;
Lieut., Howard S. Tiffany, U. s. Ord
nance Department, and Gus Bohlg.
Already the tractor has encountered
the most trying of road conditions
and successfully passed these tests
which lead its drivers to believe
that they will be able to surmount
the chassis-racking highways along
the 4,000-mile journey.
The coast-to-coast tractor tour,
unlike the now time-honored auto
mobile tours, is not designed as a
spectacular stunt but as a demon
stration that a farm tractor can be
worked efficiently on the road as on
the field, provided it is equipped
with the proper sort of road
wheels.
l.. B. Cravath, vice-president and
general manager of the Hession
T1ller and Tractor Corporation, who
was a pioneer in the tractor field. is
the originator of this somewhat rev.
olutionary idea. He believes in act
ual demonstration rather than prom
ises and optimistic statements. The
whea tractor is equipped with road
wheels and solid Firestone tires,
which are standard equipment. At
