BERLIN, Aug. 18.-In Schleswig-
Holstein and Hanover the German
fascists are concentrating their for
ces in a threatening fashion. The
agrarian nature of the district af-
fords favorable ground for the
growth of fascism amongst the rich
peasants. A number of bomb at
tempts have been carried out lately,
one against the house of a local
democratic politician and the other
against local government building
in Lueneburg. The attempts are
obviously the work of the notorious
Organization Consul which murdered

leased from prison where he had
served a short term for organizing
a tax strike. His supporters
mobbed the police and injured

arms and street fighting occurred
during which number were

are new and higher customs duties

BERLIN, Aug. 18.vIn the last
few weeks numerous anti-fascist
organizations have grown up in Ger
many and their ranks have swelled
swiftly from the masses of the or
ganized and unorganized workers.
In the Ruhr district, the Ruhrwacht
and the Jung Ruhrwacht were
hardly formed when they grew

The brutal and bloody police at
tacks in Essen, Bochum and Gelsen-
kirchen on Sunday where mass
meetings against imperialist war
took place, must be considered as
the first results of this ukase. The
workers in the uniform of the
"Ruhrwacht" and the Jung Ruhr-

and arrested. Here and there they
resisted bitterly and prevented the
police from confiscating the red

BRITAIN, WALL ST.,
ITALY IN AIR TEST
British Plane in Jingo
Races Damaged

CALSHOT, England, Aug. 18.-
Imperial Britain's new speed plane,
the first of those built for the
Schneider cup races next month,
was damaged in a test flight Fri
day. The machine, a supermarine
Rolls Royce Sc, was taken aloft by
A. H. Orlebar, captain of the Brit
ish team, and attained q speed of
more than 300 miles an hour. At
the end of the flight the port float
was found to be dented and the ma
chine was towed to the Woolston
works for repairs.
The Schneider cup races, in which
fascist Italy and the Wall Street
empire are to participate, will serve
as tests of strength for the impend-
ing imperialist war and to lash the
masses to patriotic" frenzy.
ANNAPOLIS, Md, Aug. 1S.-Un-
favorable winds have so far pre-
vented Lieut.. Williams, navy flier,
from testing the new S175,O00 sea-
plane entered by Wall Street in the
forthcoming jingo races in Britain.
The 1,100 horsepower. machine may
have to be shipped to England with
out having been taken into the air,
as time is getting short.
Williams hardest task will re-
main after he takes off-if the
weather turns in his favor in the
next day or two-because he will
have to land the powerful plane at
between 125 and $50 miles an hour.
Whether anyone can bring down at
this speed machine so delicate and
prevent its destruction is somewhat
problematical. The plane is being
guarded by a force of sailors.

WISCONSIN TO
QUIT DRY Law
Overwhelming Majority Fa-
vors Leaving Enforce
ment to u. S.

MILWAUKEE,, April 3.-(P)-
nti-prohibitionists scored a VIC
tory in the referendum election
yesterday when an overwhelming
sentiment in favor of repeating the
Severson state prohibition enforce
ment act was registered.
Returns from 1881 of the states
2.759 precincts. showed 205,812 in
favor of repeating the enforcement
act and 103092 opposed to repeal.
On the other question of removing
the home brew penalty the vote in
1881 precincts was: Yes, 192,065; {;
No. 104.042.
Returns compiled by the Asso-
ciated Press indicated the major
ity in favor of repeal would be
considerably less than was re-
corded in 1926 when the referen-
dunn memoraliZing congress to
modify the Volstead act to permit
the manufacture and sale Of ITS
per cent beer carried by margin
of 172,O00.
Yesterdays vote will have no ef-
feet upon the state enforcement
laws until the legislature acts; and
the vote is not binding upon the
lawmakers. The purpose of the
referendum was to obtain by q
"yeS" or mo" vote the sentiment
of voters. There appeared nc
doubt, however, but that the legis-
lature would shape its action by
the result of the voting.
Most counties ran true to form
but five which favored modifica-
ton two years ago switched to op-
pose repeal Of the state enforce

"The way of national repeal j:
