Drastic measures to curb bank ban
ditry. with emphasis on methods to
capture bandits after robberes, were
outlined at a district meeting Of peace
officers Of nine North Dakota counties
in this part OF the state here yester-
day.
Similar meetings, called by Governor

prevention, will be held at Grand
Forks today, Devils Lake Wednesday

Dickinson Saturday.
AS a result Of the meetings, fire
arms will be placed at strategic points
in all cities. A list of cities In the
surrounding r will be compiled by
each sheriff, who will be notified by
radio and telephone Of robberies.
Capable persons will be deputized
to handle rifles. thougi, they will be
used only In pursuit cars, because Of
danger to bystanders in a crowded
community. Local authorities In all
towns will be asked to prohibit park
ing In front Of banks, to make 1t more
difficult for bandits to park their
cars at the position most handy to
escape.
Charles Simon, assistant attorney
general, and G.. A. Fraser, adjutant
general, lead the discussions.

A plea for the agriculturists Of
western Canada, urging that no undue
pressure be exerted by creditors and
that the orderly marketing Of the 1880
crop be maintained without dumping
that would depress values, was made
here by John Bracken, premier Of
Manitoba.
The setting OF the initial prices by
the Canadian wheat pools at 90 cents
q bushel for wheat and correspond
ingly low prices for coarse grains
should forcibly bring to the attention
Of all who are interested In the well
fare Of western Canada the serious
situation facing the prairie farmers"
stated Premier Bracken.
They are now harvesting for the
second year in succession q crop be-
low the average In yield, at q time
when world grain prices are at or be-
low pre-war levels.
I'VE are satisfied. however, that
even at the low initial payments and
the present low market prices which
the farmers outside the pool will re-
ceive, our farmers can pull through
the present trying times. II their cred
itors refrain from a too-aggressive COL
lection campaign until the present
depressed market conditions have i'm
proved"

Wheat Pool Sets Initial
Price at 50 Cents, New Low Record

Winnipeg, Aug. 26.-R-lnitial pay
ment by the Canadian wheat pools on
wheat Of the 1o30-31 crop delivered,
until further notice, will be 90 cents
per bushel. The advance, announced
last night, is made on the basis Of
No. 1 northern at Fort William.
The payment is . Decent drop per
bushel from the interim initial pay
ment set On July IS, the cutoff date
from the 1929-30 crop. The initial
payment On rye is placed at s cents
per bushel more than the July is fig
ures, but other grains are to be grant-
ed initial payments the same as the
figures named in mid-July. The other
initial payments. as announced for
deliveries henceforth, are. per bushel:
barley, No. 2. as cents; Oats, Nc. 2, 80
cents; Rye. No. 2. IS cents; and flax,
No. 4. $1.25.
The figure for wheat is Is cents per
bushel below the lowest mark hitherto
noted In wheat pool records, and 40
cents below the initial payment in
every year but one. Since the forrna-
ton Of the wheat pool seven years
ago initial payments on wheat always
have been 81. with the exception OF
1923, when the heavy crop sent prices
down far enough to necessitate placing
the initial payment at IS cents.

Polish People Aroused by German
Who Demands Old Boundary Marks

This last speech was made last
night before a small group Of party
leaders, whereas the previous talk was
before a large crowd on the eleventh
anniversary Of the German Republic.
In the first speech Herr Treviranus
remarked that "Germany's eastern
boundary is an unjust frontier under
foreign sovereignty" and continued:
You will remember the hybrid con-
dition to which the German Danzig
has been reduced. Our eyes see with
Joy the regions that have been re-
stored to us. but with grief the Ger
man land which today is lost to us,
but which will one day be recaptured."
The Polish press reacted and the
German charge d'affaires at Warsaw
| called upon Foreign Minister August
Zaleski to assure him that the Ger
man Minister had no thought Of
changing the frontier by force"

R-Gottfried T%reviranus, the fiery
German Cabinet member who on
August 10 stirred Poland by predict
ing that Germany one day would re-
gain the eastern territory lost In the
war. has repeated his demand for re-
vision of the German-P Polish bound
airy, with some qualifications.
However necessary I personally re-
gard the revision of those treaties,
he said. nevertheless the time for
such action can be fixed only when
the internal strength Of our people
gives us the assurance that we are
strong enough to insist upon or de-
mand.
otherwise, the harm will be much
greater than the benefit. Were I the
Foreign Minister l would not give the
Poles the opportunity OF having this
problem discussed at Geneva and
shelved."

Assistant Attorney General Harold
Shaft, representing Fisher ana tne
