GERMANS BEHIND
IN HUMAN TOUCH
Hold Manner Practiced by Ameri'
cans Would Increase Popu-
larity of Statesmen.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MUNICH. If German statesmen
would cultivate the human touch in the
manner practiced by Americans in pub
lie life, they would gain in popularity,
in the opinion of the Sueddeutche Sonn-
tagspoSt.
This illustrated weekly submitted the
photographs of five prominent Germans
to so men and women in various walks
of life and asked them to identify the
subjects. The persons depicted were
Hermann Mueller, chancellor of the
Reich; Heinrich Held, premier of Ba-
varia; Hjalmar Schacht, president Of
the Reichsbank and chief German
delegate to the reparations conference
in Paris; Ludwig Haymann, boxing
champion, and Harry Liedtke, movie
actor.
OF the SO persons tested, only three
recognized Schacht and only four knew
Chancellor Mueller. Eleven recognized
Held, 26 named Haymann and AZ iden-
titled Liedtke.
Among those Intercepted were a
saleslady, a chauffeur, street car con-
ductor, butcher, minister, a painter,
the owner of souvenir shop, photog-
rapher, the janitor of the Bavarian
finance ministry, bar maid, mes
senger in the State SecretaryS office, a
detective and newsboy The only one
who identified them all correctly was a
law student. Next came porter at
the railway station, who recognized all
except Schacht.
The Sonntagspost derives the fol-
lowing moral from its experiment:
THE trouble is that our leading
political lights don't know how to
achieve popularity. They become
strangers to the common people and
have too little contact with the press.
There is lacking the human contact, the
symbolical shake hands of the Amer
lean President. The American states
men know the secret of how to become
popular. And that is decidedly to their
advantage.
why don't we have pictures of the
Bavarian premier as he hikes through
the 'Englischer Garten' of a Sunday
with his family? Why doesn't the Ger
man chancellor let himself be snapped
as he goes window shopping along
Tauentzien street in Berlin?
1T is these homely details that estab-
Iish the contact with the masses. The
simple, human thing is what brings
people together"

Dead Letter Office Is
 Swamped With Mail

Washington, Dec. 20 p)-Santd Claus had begun to make daily visits to one of his favorite Yuletide haunts
 the dead letter office of the post office department.
 Last Christmas he brought 5.25p.- 900 cards. as well as parcels from all over the country, most of Whlch never carried their messages to the persons for whom they were intend cd. Nor did many of the donors of these remembrances know that their greetings went astray. Cards arc ar irving every day now with words of affection from a mother sister, father, brother or sweetheart.
 Letters which have wandered from their course also were pouring Ih with generous sums of money en- closed to join misdirccted gifts Of other kinds.
 Frank C. Staley, superintendent Of the dead letter office. says that every effort is made to deliver tn" mail which reaches him. but that Gc is successful in relatively few in stances.

BOARDS POLICIES
 STILL UNCHANGED
leSSe Sees Possibility Of "Ad-
 ment From Petty OIIenses

Washington. Dec 96 lP'-Existing farm marketing agencies may finl l. necessary to make reasonable ad- justments" as the federal farm board puts it's policies into operation. but. in the opinion Of Chairman Lcggc. the need for these should be regarl- ed purely as incidental to a chang ing business condition.
 Mr. Legge made this clear in d statement published today in answer 10 the recent criticism Of the board as cpitomized in testimony given tho senate lobby committee by Julius Barnes, chairman of the board of the United States Chamber Of CorI- mercc.
 The policies of the farm board. Leg@o said, arc unchanged as the result of conferences with Barnes and private grain traders nor has the board agreed 10 submit it's plans 10 the grain trade before taking ac- ton.
 Contrary to the understanding Of private grain operatives, he made 1t clear that loans to farmers from the governments revolving fund woul1 ultimately bear an interest rate com parable to that nccessitated by bor- rowing from the usual commercial sources.
 This, it was explained. would come about through payment in the form of interest of the cost of han ding the transaction to the coopcr.- tive association through which the loans was passed. In two recent eases the board has stipulated that l this should not exceed two per cent

ALLENBY DOUBTFUL
 PEACE IS POSSIBLE
Not in Favor Of Complete Dis

 London. Dee, 20 UP)-Field Marshal Lord Anenby. known to the world as the conqueror of Jcrusem. sees the world in a frame of mind where agreement on curtailment of armaments is possible, but he is not in favor of complete disarmament.
 ou don't make d burglar your friend because you leave your door open" he said in an exclusive inter view granted the United Press. when asked his opinion on the world trend towards limitation Of armamcnts.
 Outlines Causes of War
 'Nll Wars,' he continued, "arc caused by mis understanding and miSapprehenSions which cause sus- picion among nations. l am there fore in favor of anything which pro- notes good understanding such as free discussions leading to friendly feelings. Thus, l look upon J. Ram say MacDonald's visit to the United States as a valuable contribution to Anglo-American relations. And I consider that Anglo-American un- derstanding is all important to the worlds prospects of peace"
 How will the next war be fought" he as asked.
 If there is another war;" he said in d tone indicating surprise. Then he promptly added.
 But there arc wars going on now. What about China? There is fight ing in Afghanistan. It seems to me that one can already sec from what is going on there what wars of the future are.
 Thinks All Weapons Useful
 "Of course, if you ask what arms will be used in future wars, my re- ply is that if there are to be other wars l presume all arms will take part. They will be fought in the air, on land and under the sea. Which is superior? l have equal respect for every weapon. If I have q gun, it is dangerous. So it is if you have one"
 On the question of aboishing sub marines, Lord Allenby said:
 Every nation has whatever it thinks suited to its own needs. It is not a question of rivalry. It is question of national defense. should not blame any nation for having armaments deemed neces- sary for it's defense. Each nation has the right to use the means best suited to it's requirements.
 Whether the forthcoming disarm- amcnt conference in London suc- ceeds, he declared. depends upon the frame of mind in which the ma tions approach one another The present frame Of mind, he added is decidedly towards agreement

 Hartford got it's second freak goal at the opening of the third period. Dyson drove at Hoff nd the ball was stopped dead. On the rebound, however, the English on the bal. caused it to bound behind Hof1"s Dads and his foot kicked in the goal. This tied the count.

Next, in d scramble be- fore the Hartford cage, Earl Pierce got q bacll-hand shot while Blourt was out of the cage and New Brit ain had another goal.
