GERMANS FACE
CIVIL WAR OF
REDS, FASCISTS
Dangers of Either Regime
Bring Worries to All
Other Nations.
BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMS
Sorinns- Howard Foreign Editor

MUNICH, Aug. 28.-Chancellor
Heinrich Bruening's warning that
Germany faces the most critical
winter in 100 years was repeated to
me by the Fascist high command
here.
Fascists, in fact, are expecting
Communist disorders, as result Of
increasing popular distress, followed
by a showdown between themselves
and the Reds to see which will take
over the power at Berlin.
In other words, it is believed in
these circles that civil war is not
.nprobaD~.
leaders or the Nazis-as the Ma
sional Socialist party, or Fascists,
are called-deny the slightest in
tention of forcing the issue with the
Bruening government, or that an
other "putsch," or coup detat, is
contemplated. They fully expect,
however, that events will make it
necessary for them to intervene to
save the country from Bolshevism.
Reds Gaining Daily
A high Fascist authority told me
he looks for unemployment in Ger
many to reach unprecedented pro-
portions this winter. He predicted
there may be seven or eight millions
out Of work, which, population con-
sidered, isNdouble the American un-
employment figures at the peak.
Should this happen, he said, trou-
Die was inevitable. The Communists
are gaining strength daily, he de-
clared, and rioting is not infre-
quent even now. If other millions
are thrown out of employment, ma
tion-wide disturbances are to be
feared.
The possibility of these things
happening is one of the nightmares
now disturbing European statesmen.
And it isn't the nti-Communist
plank in the Nazis program that is
causing the loss Of sleep It's the
rest of 1.-THE things the Nazis say
they will do once they come into
power.
Real Dangers Loom
First, they demand the scrapping
Of the treaty of Versailles.
Second, the cancellation, pure and
simple, of reparations payments.
Third, the abolition of the Polish
corridor and the return of upper
Silesia to Germany.
Fourth, the return of some, if
not all, of the former German colo
MES.
Fifth, that the rest of the world
reduce their ornaments to the Ger
men level else release Germany
from such limitation.
Sixth, union with Austria.
Seventh, their program contem-
plates sweeping changes within
their own country, converting it
into probably the most intensely
nationalistic nation on earth.

Three Sentenced in
Morton County Court

Three youths, arrested on a tip
from deer hunters who had seen one
of them clad in an entirely new out
fit, were sentenced to the state peni-
tentiary, one to serve four years, the
others two years each, when they
pleaded guilty to grand larceny
charges before Judge H. L. Berry In
district court at Mandan Monday.
John ]. Meyer Of Zap was SEN
fenced to four-year term while Al
bert Lang and Roland Oster re-
ceived two-year sentences. The grand
larceny charges grew out Of the rob-
berry of store at Beulah about three
weeks ago., Judge Berry said each OF
the three youths had been implicated
in other crimes and added that
Meyer was the ringleader In the
Beulah robbery.
Lang and Oster were arrested near
Harmon in a shack they had built
along the Missouri river a few miles
north of here. Goods valued at about
$400, stolen from the Beulah store.
were found cached In the woods and
in a cabin near Harmon.

Santa Claus Will
Do Rush Business

Santa Claus, Ind, Dec. L-N
The little fourth class postof-
flee in this town, five miles from
q railroad station, IS making
plans for the greatest Christmas
rush In its history.
Heretofore letters addressed by
children to the patron saint of
Christmas which found their way
here have been the greatest prob
lem of the postoffice staff, but
this year outgoing mail will cause
unprecedented congestion.
Direct-by-ma advertisers and
firms that mail Christmas cards
and gifts for clients have
notified the postoffice department
at Washington they plan extern
sive mailing from here this year
so the letters and packages will
be postmarked Santa Claus"
AS a result, two special mail
ing machines capable Of post
marking 10000 letters per hour
are being shipped here and spe-
cial clerks familiar with their
operation will swell the postoffice
staff.

Acoustical Society Told That Noise
Is Cause Of American Stomach Trouble

minutes for all the experimental
subjects" he said.
1.-THE noise intensity OF 60
decibels (that OF Fifth Avenue
and Third street, cuts down the
normal secretion Of saliva by
about 40 per cent.
1T is not just the boiler factory
din or the subway roar that pro-
duces these inhibiting effects"
he added, but noises by which
most of us are bombarded."
To find something to help the
digestion while a person eats IN
the midst of a clatter, DR.. Laird
fed his subjects candy bars and
ice cream. The sweet taste en-
tirely overcame the depressing
effects of the noise on the saliva
secretion.
Coffee with sugar and cream
produced still better results.
Cinnamon toast also was helpful.
DR.. Laird concluded his expert
ments show that city noises are
responsible to a considerable de-
gree for the prevalence Of diges-
tive disorders In modern life.

CITY DADSC0NS|DER
SAFETY SCHEME FOR
CHILDREN ON SLEDS
RecreationaI Director and Audi.
tor Will Work Out Plan
in Near Future

A scheme to insure safety for Bis
marck children who have been sliding
on city streets will be worked out by
John w. Reel, director Of recreation
al activity, with the aid Of Myron H.
Atkinson, city auditor.
This decision was reached by city
commissioners Monday evening fol-
lowing lengthy discussion Of pro.
posals.
Children have been sliding on
streets In the northern parts Of the
city and In some cases have gone 80
far as to water the streets to make
them more slippery.
This has made motor traffic diff
cult and some streets have been so
crowded with playing children that
motorists hesitated to travel on such
thoroughfares.
One proposal made by the commits
sioners Vas that a hill near the city
limits or out of the heavy traffic zone
be watered by the city to make an icy
surface for the children and their
sleds. One reason the children use the
streets, 1t was said, is because the
street surfaces are packed by traffic
Y =
and slippery.
Action Expected Soon
Suggestions that certain streets be
made stop streets or closed entirely
to vehicular traffic also were consid-
cred. Action on the problem is ex-
pected soon.
The commission urges parents to
see that their children abide by the
safety rules set up by Reel and At
kinson.
The commission decided to make a
test case Of the plea Of the McCabe
Methodist Episcopal church for can
collation. OF assessed taxes on two
church owned lots at the corner OF
Rosser avenue and Sixth st. Church
property is tax free but the assess
ment on the property was made last
April while the church did not ac-
quire deed to the lots until May
The commission will ask written
opinion on the problem from the state
tax commissioner.
Klein Evaluation Cut
Action was taken on the request OF
E. B. Klein for reduction OF the
1923 and 1880 taxes on his clothing
fstore property. The commissioners
left the 1929 assessment the same as
1t was but deducted the penalty and
interest. The 1880 evaluation Of
Klein's property was. reduced from
$6,O5O to $500 to conform with the
evaluation agreed upon by the county
commissioners
A route for state highway commits.
sion gravel trucks through the city
proposed by the city engineer. was ap-
proved. The route does not include
any pavement. The highway com.
mission will haul gravel from the

During the last month I have
noticed a marked increase IN the
spirit of optimism prevailing
among business men in Bismarck
and consumers in general.
Last July and August every
one with whom came in contact
seemed depressed because Of busi-
ness conditions, and because of
the incessant talk Of poor busi-
ness and the consequent depress-
ing atmosphere left town for q
few weeks to get away from 1t
all.
"When came back I noticed q
slight Improvement. But marked
Improvement began about Nov. !
and has been continued. I hope
it will continue further.
"Discourapine talk does nothing
but add length to depression. Il
business is not ali that 1t could
be. everyone knows it and 1t IS
not news to mention 1t. ! do not
like to hear talk Of depression.
