GERMANY REACHES
END OF HER TETHER
Can No Longer Finance Passive Resist
ance in the Occupied Territory
of the Ruhr. 4
(By Associated Press Leased wire)


Berlin Germany has arrived at the
end of her tether so far as her further
ability to finance passive resistance
is concerned. This is the current i'm
preston in banking circles which ex-
pect Germany in the next few days to
take the initiative toward proposing
that official discussions be begun with
French and Belgian governments.
That the Ruhr, and the Rhineland
fight has been lost by the government
and the army of German resisters now
is also tacit1y admitted in political
circles although the press has not yet
discussed the situation with which the
government is confronted. 1t is be-
lieved, however, that the German edi-
tors have been informed by Chancellor
Stresemann that the government would
seek to fgorce a solution of the Ruhr
conflict in the near future.
The situation in the occupied areas
also is steadily becoming worse both
in respect to economic conditions and
the temper of the resisters who no
longer are able to maintain the solidar-
ity~o the front.

VETERANS OF '61
In GRAND PARADE
Milwaukee is Thrilled as Thousands
Who Wore the Blue and Gray
March in Annual Review.
by Associated Press Leased wirel


Misunderstanding aside for the
moment from the sunset trail, 10000
Civil War veterans formed in regular
marching order Of the days of 81 to
IS swung into line with feeble stride
for the annual parade of the Grand
Army of the Republic today. In addl-
ton to the marchers, automobiles after
automobiles carrying those whose ply
steal condition refused to permit them
to follow the flag on foot, wheeled into
line, completing the nine divisions,
which formed column of four files
front. Headed by a motorcycle d1vl-
sion and platoon of police, Col. Tom
L. Johnson, grand marshal, the Conn
mander-in-C Chief, Gov. ]. ]. Blaine and
past commanders-in formed the
first division.
Directly behind the automobiles OF
the first division followed the Civil
War musicians, the Pennsylvania G. A
R. swinging into marching music which
carried their comrades into battle
nearly sixty years ago. The. column
began forming at 9:15 o'clock and at
9:45 Col. Johnson reported to George
A. Howsley, chief of staff, that the
signal gun was awaited.
Marching at the rate of 80 steps a
minute, each unit had fallen in when
Sixth street was reached with the
reviewing stand in front of the post
office building IL miles away. The
stars and stripes, state flags with de-
partment and post flags made brave
showing as the slowly moving body
passed the thousands who jammed the
sidewalk to the curb, cheering each
division to an echo as it passed.
Reaching the reviewing stand, the
commander chief with staff and the
governor and mayor took their sta
tions. Passing their commanding off,
Ger, the color bearer dipped their flags;
officers with side arms gave the Officers
salute with sword; and those not car
rying side arms touched the brim Of
their hats. The comrades in the ranks
did not salute, but passed with eyes
turned toward the reviewing stand.
After each division had passed the
stand, the march was continued several
blocks to prevent congestion

development in every branch of the
city made it almost imperative that
something be done at once; how in
1910 the population of Kenosha was
21,400, and in 1923, $4,000, an increase
of 113 per cent; how the assessed valu-
alton of property in the city had grown
from SIC, 100000 in 1910 to over $780,
100000 in 1923-an increase of 212
per cent; how at the present rate of
progress and development Kenosha
would in 1910 justly boast Of popula-
tion Of $4,000.
IF we can get any encouragement
from the legislature of the state" con-
tinued Mr.. Afford, "our industrial de-
velopment will be even greater. The
value of our manufactured products
doubled in the first six months of 1928,
representing in figures at wholesale
prices sum of $115,00,000. Factory
wages to the sum of $20,000,000 we're
paid out in 1922-exclusive of wage
earners in stores, building trades, etc!

working space has not been enlarged

ed to the local force,
"Kenosha has outgrown practically
everything it has. The new school
program will eventually cost the city,
when completed, $3,000,0O0 A new
sewer system is being worked out. A
new street system has been prepared.
The paved streets have been doubled

center We ask the federal govern
ment to cooperate with US. We are
not asking the government to step in
and pioneer this thing for us. We ask
the advice of our congressman, and a
promise, if possible, that we be as
sured of active assistance from them
in getting a new post-ofice for Keno
sha."
LenroOt Promises Cooperation.
After the senator from Wisconsin
had heard the city's plea, he replied
with his own characteristic frankness
and candor that at is the easiest thing
in the world to make promises and
offer advice, but it is much more diff
cult to make them amount to some
thing" .Itr t4.

ESCAPE DEATH IN
FIFTY-FO0T FALL
Floyd Hess and Richard
Carroll Hurled to Earth
in Strange Accident.
ON SMOKESTACK JOB

FLOYD Hess, 27, and Richard Carroll,
81. both employees Of the Security
Lightning Rod company of Burlington,
niraculously escaped death IN Keno
sha Just before four o'clock Tuesday
afternoon when they received only
minor injuries as a result of 5O-foot
fall from the chimney at the Frost
Manufacturing company. Both were
hurried to the Kenosha hospital, where
Hess was found to have received
badly wrenched back and minor bruis-
es and Carroll was found to have es-
capped with only bad bruises on his
shoulders and arms.
The two men were repairing the
smokestack at the Frost company.
They were using a steel wire to hold
them secure on the chimney as they
worked, and in some way this wire
touched a high tension wire carrying
electric current into the factory. The
wire was burned in two parts by the
electric current, hurting the men 10
the ground without the least warning.
Employees Saw Accident.
Several employees of the Frost Man
ufacturing company who happened to
be crossing the yards at the time saw
the accident. They hurried to the aid
of the men, finding Hess unconscious
and Carroll grooming with pain. Both
men were hurried to the hospital.
Those who saw the accident declare
that the men were more than halfway
up the chimney when the wire broke
and hurled them to the ground. How
both men escaped without even having
any broken bones is mystery to these
witnesses. There was a fairly high
wind at the time and it is believed
that this blew the wires so that they
were in contact and resulted in the
strange accident.
Both From Battle Greek.
Fhe Burlington company whic -,
ploys the men was notified Immediately
Of the accident. Both Hess and Car
roll i've in Battle Creek, Mich, but
for several years they have been en-
ployed by the Security Lightning Rod
company of Burlington. Carroll. will
be able to leave the hospital probably
today but Hess condition is more SER
ious and he probably will be unable
to be dismissed for several days.

FINNISH FIGHT Is
PLANNED BY DRYS
Anti-Saloon League Leaders Declare
That They Will Battle to Limit
in the Next Campaign.
tBx Asaoeiated Pics ceased wire)


Madison, Wis.-The dry forces in
Wisconsin are preparing to wage a
finish, fight with the wet element in
the next political campaign, DR.. D..
L. Mcbride, superintendent Of the
state Anti-Saloon league declared in
a recent speech in which he express
ed for the first time since taking
active direction Of the league, his
political attitude.
"The great, supreme crisis of the
prohibition movement in Wisconsin is
now here" DR.. Mcbride declared.
upon the action of the Christian men
and women, the patriotic citizens of
Wisconsin of the coming weeks and
months will depend whether the bung-
hole lines shall be smashed and their
forces forever crushed or whether the
drys shall hoist the white flag and
surrender the state to lawlessness
and anarchy.
prohibition with the people and
the whole machinery of government
behind it, is our goal. Under their
oath every officer and citizen Is bone
dry. His oath to uphold the consti-
tuition implies that. America and
Wisconsin will not rest until she is
dry to the bone. REASONABLE officers
should resign or be dismissed. Dis
loyal, lawbreaking aliens in fact or in
spirit, should go to Jail or back to
the land from whence they came.
"The drys are massing and organic
ing their forces in every county and
community to secure the enforcement
of the law. An educational campaign
Is on. A deep, permanent dry senti-
ment is being built. Then officers
will prosecute, juries convict, judges
mete out proper sentences, making it
safe for society rather than for the
criminal. Then general law obseTv-
ance will supersede prosecutions.
"The deceptive wet slogan is "Light
Wines and Beer Now No Saloons
Ever They would bring back five
per cent beer and fifteen per cent
wine. That's the Trojan horse.
Within are whiskey, gin, rum, gamb-
ling, and the vices of the old saloon.
Beer and wine would not decrease, but
increase drunkenness and crime. 1t
would eliminate nothing except sobrie-
ty, virtue and morality"

league of nations today that Italy
would regard Intervention of the
league in the Greco-Italian crisis IS
unjustifed. The league, he asserted,
has no competency in the affair, which

M. Politis, former Greek foreign
minister, in reply, said Greece had no
desire to escape her responsibility
and showed her good faith by re-
questing the appointment of neutral
commissions of Investigation. A
crowd clamored before the doors of
the room where the council was con-
vened, struggling for admission and
the ushers were often swept away

women, formed flying wedges and
surged into the chamber.

disregarded, the whole settlement of
Europe would be shaken. The articles
were cited by Greece as the basis of
her appeal to the league and stipulated
that the council has clear right to
an investigation when there is danger
of rupture between any member states.
Further discussions of the Greco

to give the members of the council
an opportunity to examine the Italian
declaration and decide on their future

garded as having been aggravated by
Signor Salandra's pronouncement.
