ST. JOSEPH, Mich. September 20
A Nationwide referendum on the

party called in convention to nominate
candidates for minor State Offices. The
platform recommended that the ref
erendum "on repeal of the eighteenth
amendment be conducted lin a sep

ton alone"
The platform criticized the Hoover
farm marketing act as political sub
terfuge" and condemned the Smoot-

crime against the American people in
favor of special interests"

State government" for the st. Law

SEES WAR
THREAT IN EUROPE
Representative Returns With
Gloomy Picture-WantS
u. S. Prepared to Act.

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK. September 20.-The
Ambassador to Belgium, the Anbassa-
dor to Germany and Fred A. Britten,
chairman of the Committee on Naval
Affairs arrived today from Europe on
the liner Leviathan.
Hugh Gibson, Ambassador to Brus-
sells, and Fred M. Sackett, Ambassador
to Berlin, declined to comment on the
European economic and political situa-
ton
Mr.. Britten issued a statement, in
which he said that all Europe was
arming for the big explosion" which
is but matter Of time"
Aiming On Increase.
1T would be an exaggeration to say
that war clouds are hanging over
Europe the Representative said, but
to predict that ornaments and war
preparations will be increased rather
than diminished in the near future is
but a logical conclusion when one un-
derstands the diStrust the various ma
tons over there have for each other.
Il would seriously say that all Europe
is much more precaricusly poised to-
Gay than II was IN 1912, two years be-
fore the war that shocked both hemis-
pheres. 1t certainly is much more
heavily armed and much more sensi-
tive.
Prospective war preparations are
costing Europe $4,000, 900 a day, to say
nothing of the billions still unpaid for
past wars. Europe does not
want to disarm, it wants to fight. =
1t behooves the United States to be pre-
parted to enforce peace in so far as we
are concerned, when the Inflated hour
arrives"
Sackett Cites Cost.
Mr. Sackett made only one comment
when questioned regarding the POSSIBLE
ity Of war on the other side
War costs money" he said.
He and Mrs. Sackett will spend a few
days in New York, leaving next Tues
day or Wednesday for Washington
From there they will go to Louisville.
KY, their home, where the Ambassador
base some business affairs to settle. He
said they expected to return to Ger
many around the 1st of November
Ambassador Gibson left directly for
Washington on landing today After a
day or two there he will go on to Los
Angeles TO settle the estate of his
mother, who recently died. He did not
know how long he would stay, but not
more than a few weeks, he said.

CHECK FOR COSTE
SIGNED BY TEXAN
EaSterWood Returns From
Europe With Trunkful of
Dallas Flight Clippings.
Rr the Associated press.

BY the Associated fIeSS.
NEW YORK, September 20-There'E
a check for SOS 600 awaiting Dieudonne
Coste and Maurice Bellonte when they
finish their goodwill tour of the United
States. Col William E. Easterwood, Jr.,
of Dallas Tex, has 1t.
The colonel arrived from Europe to-
day aboard the liner Leviathan and
found the check waiting for him. He
had cabled from Paris to his bank
the Dallas Bank g. Trust Co,-to have
one printed and sent up to New York.
He signed his name to 1t when he
landed, and there it is.
Prize for Dallas Flight.
The $25 900 is the prize the colonel
posted for the first Psris-New York
Dallas fight, and Coste and Bellonte
were the first to fly that route-one
stop.
Col. Easterwood. who is something of
a flyer himself-he always travels by air
when he can-has been trying for three
years to get some one to fly from Rome
to Dallas. or Paris to Dallas or Dallas
to Hongkong or the other way, some
sort of spectacular fight with Dallas
either as the starting point or the nm
ishing point. Now he's happy.
One reason he offered the prize was
because he's intensely interested in avl-
alton. The other was because ne peen
busy for years putting Dallas on the
map and he thought flight was
good way to get the name written on
the worlds consciousness.
Clippings Fill Trunk.
Bubbling over with JOY he landed
today with a trunkful of clippings

pean countries. And in every one OF
those papers was the word Dallas" not
once but several times. Also in the
papers, some of which were dated sew
eral DAYS after the fight, were pic
lures of the -" flying over my home
town.
Wasn't that great?" he asked
Col and Mrs. Easterwood will remain
in New York until October 2, when he
flies to Boston to attend the National
American Legion convention. He was
Marine captain during the war. and ne
is a delegate at large from Texas to
this years meeting.
Then he'll fly back to New York and
on October 10. at a luncheon of the New
York Advertising Club he will present
that $25 900 piece of paper to the two
French flyers and then go back to the
town he thinks is the finest in all the
world.

storm. Cold weather had set In, ana
despair must have seized them.
The suggestion that the party was
poisoned by carbon monoxide gas from
their stove while In the hut does not
seem acceptable. The disorderly ro.Idi-
ton of the camp indicated they never
lived in the hut.
May Have Been Poisoned.
1t is more probable that the party got
ptomaine poisoning from canned food,
for at that time canned food for such
expeditions was not of such high
quality as 1t Is nowadays
If the notes written by any one of the
party are not found to state definitely
what circumstances existed as they
neared the end 1t must be admitted that
the Andree mystery is not solved In fun.
1t remains TO be determined under
exactly what conditions they died and
how long they had lived on White Is
land.

Bob Adair had been writing for

Dale looked at the body. It
was directly facing the door.
It was impossible for anyone to
have entered without Bob Adair
seeing the intruder. Dale went
to the only other door in the
room. the one which was closed.
He found it was locked from
that side and upon opening it
saw that it led into the bath
room. Across the bathroom was
another door leading into the
adjoining chamber, but that
door was also closed.
Then they all heard the
queer, creaking sounds for the
first time. An uncanny, inter-
mittent creak like the feet of
giants upon loose boards, only
there were no accompanying
thuds of footballs.
