ASKS PREPARATIONS
ON ECONOMIC BASIS
German Chancellor Scores
One-Sided Disarmament in
Talk to u. S. Students.

RERLIN, July 14.-One-sided dis
armament is the greatest obstacle
to the restoration of peace in Eu-
rope, Chancellor wirth told a group
of American students from all parts
of the United States, who were re-
ceived by him today.
Discussing the separations ques-
tion. the German chancellor said
that America and England realize
that the settlement must be on a
purely economic basis. France is
beginning to see this also" he
added
Chancellor Tirth made a rather
bitter appeal fer consideration when
he urged that "even a conquered
nation has claims to justice"
"It is impossible to demand from
a nation more than it can pay" he
added
England and America have seen
that the question of reparations
must be determined upon an eco
nomic basis. This knowledge is
finally knocking at the door Of
France"
Expressing the hope that Ger
many and France would grow closer
together, Chancellor Wirth de-
clared I'VE must not build up strife
which in the future will explode
into war. for that would be the end
of civilization"

Jeus and Arabs
Are on Verge of
War in Palestine
Reports Leak
Out, Despite Strict
Censorship.

LONDON, July 14.-Alarming re-
ports are received frolh Cairo over
the condition in Palestine.
No attempts are made to mini
mize the seriousness of the situa-
ton, which verges on an imminent
outbreak of warfare between the
Jews and Arabs.
Continued persistent questions
in Parliament regarding Palestine
recently confirmed outside rumors
that trouble is breaking. but the
abled through censorship and mill
tary control to hide the real situa-
tion.
II an outbreak occurs, 1t is
feared that the Arabs will be the
aggressors. although certain Zion
list leaders urge the Jewish ele-
ments to take the offensive before
the Arabs strengthen their posi-
tions and organize themselves.
Arms left from the British cam
paign against the Turks and smug-
gled from French stores abandoned
in Cilicia and Syria are freely dis
tributed among the Arabs.
Zionist officials are urging a
reinforcement of the British gar
rison at Palestine. but the govern
ment does not dare do so in view
of the fact that outcries are
already violent over the commit
ments there.
Oficial circles here firmly expect
American help in Palestine the mo-
ment bloodshed starts and the Jews
are victims of the Arabs.

36 Holes in 142.
By GRANTLAND RICE.

SKOKIE COUNTRY CLUB, Glen
coe. ILL.,. July 14.-Through the Skokie
Valleys today that meander along
under a high, blue summer heaven,
five great galleries charged like cav
airy troops in the wake of noted golf
names that are now household words
from cheap apartments to country
estates.
There were thousands in each Of
these trooping army divisions and
they could only see in their impetu-
Gus rushes such stars as Hagen,
Hutchison, Barnes, Jones, Evans and
Duncan
But while all this noisy fanfare and
ranging tulmult was taking place
around the noted sons of Scotia's an
cient game, a short, swarthy Cali
fornian with a short, swarthy pipe in
his mouth was slogging along with
only a scattered few native sons to
give him cheer and encouragement
This mans name happened to be
John Black, from the Claremont Club
of Oakland. California: grand
father at the age of ~. Not over
FIVE feet eight inches in height with
the wide shoulders and the broad,
deep chest of blacksmith, John
Black puffed upon his equally squat
pipe all day and tapped the ball into
the hole. For eight hours John Black
kept that highly redolent briar be-
tween his teeth and for eight hours
John Black played the best golf Of
the day.
Galleries Spurn "Unknown."
All day long, unheralded and un-
followed. he was quite content to
let the greatest gallery ever known
in the history of American golf go
raging and whooping after the big
names as he slogged quietly along
slapping the small, white ball down
the middle of the green fairways,
firing his approaches at the pin and
dropping his puts for a steady
fusillade of par. He must have
smiled briefly on more than one oc-
casion as he saw the vast crowds
pursuing other idols and leaving
him as much alone as IL he had been
one OF the Skokie guide posts. The
crowds have followed false gods
before. Why should they follow a
grandfather through a competition
where only iumortals were to be
served?
Yet when Hagen, Barnes, Hutchi-

with a hammer. and whom she ac-
cused Of stealing her husbands love.
The crime Is one of the most
primeval and by far the most startl-
ing ever recorded in the history of
California-two young and beautiful
women battling on lonely road, high
up in the hills. graphing, beating.
kicking. fighting for the love OF a
man. And the one who emerged alive
was proud of her work.
They fought until Mrs Meadows

watched until she became sick and
fed.

She said that maybe II she talked

Il went to the bank Wednesday

War Veterans Bureau, visited the hos

Grams Bureau in Washington. signed by
about so per cent. of the patients at
Fox Hills, asking that the abandonment
of the hospital be postponed until a
permanent hospital could be erected in
New York.
Most Of the men at Fox Hills come
from this vicinity and many feared
that they might be scattered all over
the country. Col Forbes asked how

than 800 stood UP. Twenty-nine favored
hospitals in California and three in
Denver.
Col. Forbes said that approximately

hospitals in Manhattan. Brooklyn and
