MIRACLES GIVEN
 FATAL DEGREES
Pontif Approves Wonders Done
 By North American Martyrs

Vatican City. May 13 UP)-De- crees approving the miracles pro- posed for canonization of eight North American martyrs and of Lucia Fal- iprini, foundr of the Filippini sisters organization, were approved yester- day after having been read in the presence of Pope Plus and group of cardinals and prelates Sunday.
 Members Of the congregation of sacred rites discussed and voted on mother house Of the Filippini sisters is in Trenton, N. J. The North American martyrs were Jesuit mis- sionaries killed by Indians in Canada and New York state.
 After reading the decrecs and re- calling the educational mission of the Filippini organizer and her nuns, the pope said the recollection was timely inasmuch as the present teaching was often completely op- posed to Christian education. He la mented that 'in a lofty place" the dIlrHdtiol ndd been fnddS lldt man is a transient factor in the state and solely the means and instrument Of the policy pursued by the state.
 This is tantamount to reversal of the Christian moral and juridicial order the pope said. These prin- ciples can only lead 10 incalcula ble dangers and catastrophes.'
 His words were interpreted as reply 10 recent statements of various fascist leaders.

Proprietor Is Woman Who Is Known As "The Wick" to Most of Her Custom CTS.

Berlin, May 13 LP,-The most popular haunt of Berlin's Bohem- ians is tiny cafe which, although situated just off the hustle and hustle of tho German capital s Great White Way remains un- known 10 bourgeois jewellers in quest of nocturnal thrills.
 Responsible for the popularity Of the place is a small. unpretentious woman, whose real name none knows. but who everyone calls by he seemingly meaningless name. Die Lunte''-or The Wick.'
 In the not-so-long ago, when this motherly woman decided to estab- fish a Home for the German capi- tals new generation Of literati and artists. the members of her flock were at a loss to find an appro- priate name for it. No name at all vas the suggestion of the woman owner, but her admirers wished it otherwise.
 A name which would proclaim her outstanding characteristic was sug- gested. That being her uncon- trollable pa ssion to smoke big. black cigars all day long. it was unani- mously agreed to give the place the name of The Wick Today, both place and owner arc known under that appellation to hundreds of struggling aspirants to fame in art or letters.
 To them, this perpetually smiling and smoking woman is like bril- liant star that sheds it's kindly light on an unkind world steepod in sor- did mater;alism and rank conner cialism. He who lacks the where n,ithal with which to buy food or drink is welcome just as much 7t The Wick" as he whose poCkeets bulge
 Pay When Able
 'The Wick" is undoubtedly. the one place in Berlin where conner cialism is entirely absent. Many are known to have kept body and soul together there for days or weeks, while working on novel or a paint ing, Pay when you can," IS the kindly owners business slogan.
 Paradoxical as it may seem. the weed -puffing philanthropist has nev- or lost money on account of her generosity. Her enterprise prospers because the law Of averages always works out Few are those to whom she extended credit who have been delinquent in liquidating their debts. When their ship comes in they not only pay their debts, but they fell duty-bound 10 celebrate the oc- Casion by inviting the entire house to round after round of drinks.
 Thus one rarely ever enters 'Tke Wick without finding oneself in vlted to share the good fortune of some author or artist who wishes 10 show his gratitude to The Wick" by acts of generosity.
 There are many other reasons for the places popularity. Those who feel themselves called to interpret life by pen or canvas can always find others similarly minded. More ideas are exchanged at He place over a cup Of coffee or glass Of beer than at any other place in the German capital. The Wick" is the clearing house for everything that is revolutionary. creative and radical in art, literature, politics and music.
 No matter how heated the discus sion, regardless of the deafening noise at times, she who provided this haven never loses her sang -froid. She is happy only when her "chil- dren" are happy and when the glo" on her cigar is not dimmed.

PUBLISHER GIVES VIEWS
 ON EXIT FROM FRANCE
William Randolph Hearst Denies Secret Treaty Published Was
 Obtained By Theft

New York, Sept. % (UP)-Wil- liam Randolph Hearst, speaking over a national radio hook-up last night, denied that the secret Anglo French treaty his newspapers se- cured and published two years ago were obtained by theft or bribery, or that he intended injuring France in publishing them.
 Commenting on his recent ex- pulsion from France as a result of the incident, he explained his failure to make more active protest by in- tlnlating he had believed there was some official at Washington with independence enough and back kbone enough to defend the rights of law biGing American citizens sojourning abroad, and to vindicate the validity Of an American passport, and to maintain the liberty and dignity of American citizenship
 Hearst pointed out that the two Frenchmen from whom his repre- sentatives received copies of the treaty were acquitted by French courts of having committed any crime.
 If the French gentlemen who gave us the treaty committed no of fense, how could we Americans who received the treaty have committed any offense?" he asked.

4,000 QUIT MILL IN DANV|LLE, VA.
Owner Says He Will Not Open
 Until Loyalty Is Seen

Danville, Va. Sept. 29 RIFour thousand textile mill operatives were on strike here today while the gates of the Dan River and River side mills remained locked.
 The strike, approved by vote some 10 days ago, was ordered effective today by leaders of the local branch of the United Textile Workers of America after efforts at conciliation by state and federal agents had failed.
 H. R. Fitzgerald, president of the mills, in a statement today from Charlottesville, said the Mills will not open for the time being until we can ascertain what proportion of employees are loyal to the com- pany and desire to continue work"
 w. R. Gaylord, a representative of the Labor Banner, publication of the United Textile Workers of America, as spokesman for the or ganization, said the strike was put into effect today because mill off, cials had refused to recognize the union, and that this recognition had been asked because of 10 per cent cut in wages last spring and be- cause of the 'stretch-out" system, which the union charges has been in effect in the mills.
 MT. Fitzgerald in his statement to- day said:
 For 47 years our company has operated continuously with mntual trust and confidence between en- ployer and employe. There does not exist any real grievance or any fun damental differences between the management and the operatives"
