Crisis in the Ruhr
Expected Sunday
Ludendorff and Other Mill.
tary Leaders to Attend
Demonstration.

Berlin, Aug. Sit In learned TO-
night that the German cabinet is con.
sidering the draft OF an announcement
regarding the modifying of passive re
sistanee in the Ruhr.
1t is probable that the decision will
not be published in such form as to
arouse the German nationals to fur
ther opposition. The opposition to
the cabinet from this source has been
rapidly growing and any attempt TO
yield in the Ruhr would mean serious
trouble.
A critical turn in the situation is
expected by Sunday. which is the an.
niversary Of the battle of Sedan. The
German nationals and the extreme
"Deutsche Nolkische" party will hold
a big demonstration at Nurmberg.
General Ludendorff. General Won
Scheer. Adolph Hitler and other well
known right leaders have promised
to attend.
Similar demonstrations are planned
elsewhere but there will also be dem.
onstrations by communists at several
places. Sedan celebrations have been
forbidden in Berlin. Hamburg and
Saxony because of fear of collisions.

All aboard. North Pole limited!
Will a few more years see the north
pole supplanting the mountains, the
aeashore and the Minnesota lakes as
the favorite vacation ground for tired
travellers from the United States?
Well, perhaps not right away. But
it's barely possible before many more
years pass. At any rate the Navy
department is preparing to find out
definitely.
A huge new dirigible now being
built will attempt the trip to the
north pole as an experiment. If the
trip Is a success, what's to prevent
the establishment of a dirigible line
between the United States and the
Arctic circle? If you are interested
in the details read the magazine sec
ton of The Sunday Bee. 1t contains

navy's proposed air fight to the pole
and the significance Of it's success
upon the world of aerial navigation.
