movement against Poland with u
wide secret organization operating is
reported discovered in Galicia. Three
hundred arrests have been made so
far
This is not the first case of the
kind reported. but IL created more of
a sensation than the others because
the Galician authorities declare the
secret organization was directed from
Berlin and agents connected with the
German general staff are reported to
have been accomplices.
More than 1000 soldiers. students
and civil officials are said to have
belonged to the secret organization,
which functioned with modern tech
nical apparatus, including radio A
general uprising of the Ruthenians
against Poland is said to have been
planned whenever the word was
flashed through the air.
Branches of the conspiracy are re-
ported discovered in various military
centers, even Warsaw, with the
purpose of paralyzing military OPP
position.
Official reports, linking the revolu-
tionary movement with the military
in Galicia, discount the importance
of the reports as possible attempt
by Marshal Pilsudski to cause a SEN
sation to get rid of the Galician mill
itary, which has not jumped to his
orders.
The charge of conspiracy makes
it possible for him to start an inves-
tigation and remove everybody in
the army in Galicia who is opposed
to him.

chairman of the National Democratic
Congressional Committee, today gave
out prediction of early complete
Democratic control in both houses.
based, he said on an intimate tour OF
the entire Nation.
The best the Republican Party can
do in the Fall elections is to retain
what it has, Oldfield declared. He
pointed out that the Democrats need
only 80 seats in the House and nine
in the Senate to obtain majorities.
naH>oc-a...5 vacancies, he said, are to
be filled chiefly in rock.ribbed Demo
cratic States.
Traditions handed down from the
Civil War affecting the politics of the
farmers of the Nation may be changed
this year and a new party alignment
formed, he limited. 1T is not politics,
but downright economic pressure and
suffering that accounts for the bitter
ness of the farmers toward the Repub-
lican Party--a bitterness that can only
be guessed at by those who haven't
actually visited the agricultural sec.
tions," he asserted.

SEAGIRT. ". j.. July 24.~-To the
sleeping residents of this town and
Manasquan, enjoying the first break
in the heat wave, came n cyclone
windstorm just after dawn today
that routed them from their beds and
sent them scurrying 10 cellars as the
twisting gale played topsy- turvy with
all it could lift that stood in it's path.
For an hour the air became a play
ground for house tops, trees, ga
RACES, barns, automobiles--only the
firnest foundations held to the
ground. Shivering townspeople
crouched terrified in their cellars.
And then. as suddenly as 1t had
come. The cyclone swept out to sea.
But the joke of the elements was not
over Torrents of rain began to de-
scend at the moment the wind COM
pleted its work and the streets were
flooded. The waters cascaded into
cellars and the narrowed refugees
We're chased back upstairs.
The elements were consistent in
the joke and established Il limit. AL
though property damage was great,
the only casualty reported ia the
whole area was an Army mule,
speared by a flying beam.
After another frantic hour, during
which many of the townspeopie were
drenched by the rain falling through
roofless houses or into windows
where the wind had smashed the
glass. they ventured out at last only
to feel the sting OF the concluding
Jest of the storm kings. About a half
hour after the rain was over, hail

ported TO he as large as walnuts

In Manasquan property damage
was estimated in six figures. In

principal loss was TO the New Jersey
National Guard, whose Summer camp
at Camp Moore was virtually de-
stroyed. None of the guardsmen
was hurt, however

New directors will be appointed to
carry on as fast as the old ones are

menaces public welfare.
Plans Close Boycott.
The leagues plan is that everybody
shall stop spending money for any.
thing except absolute necessities
thereby creating an economic situa.

to modify it's attitude.

Rumors persist that Archbishop
Mora Del Rio and the Bishop OF
Tabasco may be arrested, but thus far
no such action has been taken.

FAME OF PIKE GOES
BACK TO ROMANS
Fish Long Held in Esteem Before
President Gave It
Publicity.

The pike, the big, hard~fghting
game FISH that has received much
publicity lately through falling victim
to the Waltonian prowess of President
Coolidge. is creature of high historic
traditions, according to Lewis Rad
cliffe, United States Deputy Commits
sioner of Fisheries. It's fame goes
back to Roman times at least, for
Mr.. Radcliffe has found a verse about
the pike in the works of the Latin
writer Ansonius, which, translated,
reads:
THE wary pike, midst wrack and
The scouree and terror of the
Scaly brood
Unknown at friendships hospitable
board. >
Smokes midst the smoking taverns
coarsest food"
Held in High Esteem.
According to Mr.. Radcliffe the high
esteem in which it was held is re-
vealed in that during the reign of
Edward I the King fixed the price
at double that of the salmon and 10
times that of the cod. AS late as

in value a lamb and small one more
than a fat capon The pike was in
troduced into England about 1852. An
old couplet ran:
"Turkies, Carps Hops, Pickerel, and
Beer
Came into England all in one year. ;"
'Izaak Walton devotes an entire
chapter to observations and directions
for fishing for the luce, or pike, re-
counting the antipathy between the
pike and some frogs,' says Mr.. Rad
cliffe. "Of a method of cooking the
pike he states: This dish of meat Is
too good for any but anglers, or very
honest men; and / trust YOU will
prove both, and therefore I have
trusted you with this secret.
