VINCENNES. Ind, Jan. "a G.N.
SD.-With death, disease and
starvation threatening, the hun
dreds of families marooned i'm
the flooded lowlands of south
western Indiana today pinned
their hopes on an airplane
squadron to bring relief.
Effort to reach the refugees by
boat have failed because of ice
floes, and as last resort two
Army airplanes and squadron
of national guard planes today
prepared to drop food, clothing
and medical supplies at regular
intervals throughout the flooded
zone.
Once the supplies are dropped
small boats will attempt to distri-
butte them to villages and in
dividual families who have taken
refuge in flooded houses and
barns.
Many Believed Drowned
Discouraging reports were
brought here last night following
a survey of the flood zone by
two Army aviators. Few signs of
life we're seen throughout the
miles of water and ice covered
river valleys. and it is feared
that many have been drowned by
the swift current.
Eighty-five residents of the vii
lage of Decker Chapel who took
refuge in the second floor rooms
of homes there have not been
heard from. Many are reported
to be ill from disease and ex
posure.
Eight hundred residents of Grif
fin, Ind, are without food and
fuel and the town is completely
cut off by the flood waters, the
Army fliers reported.
Ice Jams Dam River
Serious ice jams in the Wabash
River near Riverton have damned
up six feet of water and ice
Should the wall break or be dyna
mited, it is feared that the water
would break the levee that is
protecting Vincennes and River
ton.

THE EARLY SCRIRES

Elsewhere in this edition is descrip
ton of an Imperial Valley Scrap Book
containing clippings from newspapers of
the early part of this century, regarding
the development of Imperial Valley.
1t includes. among other things, the
account of two visits made here by the
Southern California Editorial Associa-
ton, in 1901 and 1908. The early edi
tors. some of whom we are happy to note
are still in the saddle, came, saw and re-
turned to their various homes enthuslaS-
tic and eager to spread good tldlngS OF
the new country they had visited.
Their praise for the possibilities of
development are indeed lavish, several
of them breaking out in verse in order to
express themselves. This is indeed the
acme of cooperation in an editor.
1t occurred to us while reading it, that
we, personally, have never given credit
to our predecessors here in the valley and
their contemporaries in other parts of the
state, for the part they played IN deVel-
oping Imperial Valley.
We have always held high regard for
the pioneer men and women who came
here to till the soil, to engage in business,
or to perform the actual labor that was
transforming the desert into a gaden. We
never included the early editors in our
thoughts. Yet they played their part
and it was an important one. 1t was their
Job day after day to boost and encourage,
by no means an easy task.
They performed missionary work
among their comrades so that these gave
publicity to Imperial Valley, thereby at
tracing badly needed settlers to this sec
ton.
We doff our hat to these pioneer
scribes. The scrap book proves that they
did their work we'll, and that their broth
er editors were most generous in assist
ing them

revolution if necessary and after that,
the scrapping of the Versailles treaty.
Hitler's remarks are enough to disturb
seriously, the present makeshift peace
which Europe now enjoys. Any actions
of an overt nature would be sufficient to
plunge the continent into new war.
France points out that the Versailles
treaty is the only thing on which Europe
has to proceed. 1t has been revised as
much as it can be revised and Germany
must abide by it.
The odd thing about Herr Hitler's
present prominence in German political
affairs, is that he is not a German cit-
zen according to dispatches He is of
Austrian birth and fought with the Ger
man army during the war, thereby losing
his Austrian citizenship.
That he is looked upon as leader by
millions of Germans, is not to be denied
Nor can other nations ignore the fact that
this leadership is quite likely to prove
extremely dangerous to world peace.

Just how serious is the sabre rafting
being done by Adolp Hitler, head of Ger
man Fascism, can be judged by his re-
marks before German court yesterday,
when he frankly asserted that his party
will not hesitate to use illegal means to
free Germany from the Versailles treaty.
The Fascists made tremendous gains
in the recent election, advancing from
the ninth political power in Germany, to
second place. One or two more elections,
Hitler said, will put them in complete
control of the country and then they will
proceed to build a new Germany in ac-
cordance with their own ideas.
This, he declared, would include
