GERMANY IS SINGING'
"HYMN OF HATE" WITH
INCREASE IN VENOM
Sentence Of Krupp Official
Brings Bad Feeling Among
Former Enemies

BERLIN, May Germany is sing
ing her Hymn of Hate" with in
creased venom. The French could
hardly have contrived to stir up more
intense hatred than she did by the
heavy prison sentences meted out to
DR.. Gustav krupp Won Bohlen, head
of the Krupp works. and his directors.
The verdict finding the Krupp Of
ficials guilty of melting the riot at
Essen in which IA Germans were
killed by Poilus. has especially an
gered the rich industrialists, who now
state that any cooperative arrange
ments with France are impossible.
The French action has also strength
ened the hand of the extreme nation
alists, those who would overthrow
the republic and restore the mo-
narchy.
President Loebe. of the Reichstag.
in an address Wednesday stated:
Il deplore the hate which, through
the verdict, has been sown between
the two nations and which surely will
grow. The French believe. childishly.
they can blind the eyes of the world
and can wash behind the screen of
their horrendous Justice the blood
which clings to their hands. but
which they will never be able to re-
move"
The government plans to forward
note to Paris protesting against the
verdict. According to advices reach
ing here the Krupp employees at Es-
sen wanted to strike in protest, but
were induced to continue their work
by agents of Chancellor Cuno.
It is doubtful whether the appeal
of the krupp officials will avail any
thing. In fact, If the French pursue
presidents established since the Ruhr
occupation, the sentences will prob
ably be increased rather than dimin-
ished.

peared following a class rush in
1921, came to be under an Evanston
pier, where it was found 10 days ago

Information that part of the pier
under which the skeleton was found
was washed away during a storm in
the winter of 1921, several week s
after Mounts disappearance and was
later boarded up, was brought to the
states attorneys office today and
led George E. German. assistant
states attorney, to advance the
theory that Mounts body was
washed under the pier while it was
drowned in Lake Michigan, either
as the result of class hazng activ-
tiles or suicide.
Further information concerning
this hole in the flooring was also
brought out today when three boys

Third, the report of the committee

possibly 20 great systems, but spe-
officially maintained that such a

Already used literally by millions Of women.
And yet it was only three years ago that it was
first brought out.
You wonder what is the secret Of this
remarkable growth. For just consider what
tremendous force of habit Rinse had to meet.
1t had to gain the confidence of women trained
for generations to the long>drawn~out methods
Of bar soap washday.
Mothers, grandmothers and grear-grand>
mothers had rubbed and scrubbeIto get clothes
clean-rubbing soap on all the soiled places
and then rubbing the heavy wet clothes on the
dashboard.
Is it any wonder then that when Rinse came
into women's lives it swept everything before
it! For Rinse spares you the hardest part of
that age-old druid gerry Of washday-the constant
backbreaking rubbing. That is why millions of
packages Of it are used every month.
Soaking takes the place Of rubbing
Just soaking with this new kind Of soap gently
loosens all the dirt Harmful rubbing is done
away with.
You are not only saved from weary, back
achy work but also your clothes are protected
from the wear and tear of hard rubbing. Rinse
dissolves instantly and sends its soapy suds
through every thread and fibre, flushing out all
