The protest is against the town
ships civil, school, and poor relief
rates. Wayne's levy for poor relief

the county. A hike of 81 in the poll
tax in Wayne, making it 81 next
year, also is protested.

CHICAGO, Sept. 26.-Science and

Mrs. Andrew Nelson, mother of six

On Sept. 9 an airplane landed at

cortin, gland extract that is one

the laboratories of DR.. Frederick

and administered to Mrs Nelson at
the Billings Memorial hospital of
the University of Chicago.
why, I feel like a different per-
son altogether" Mrs. Nelson said
today. Three weeks ago I was
hopeless, ready to- die. Now I feel
almost strong enough to go home
and get big meal for Andrew and
the children"
But 1t Will be some time yet, doc
tors said, before Mrs. Nelson can be
released from the hospital. She has
gained enough strength to spend a
part of each day in a wheel chair.
Her husband, carpenter who has
been out of work for months, and
her children come to see her every
day or so. Because the doctors fear
infection, all visitors must wear sur
geon's cloaks while with the patient.
THAT seems funny to me-" said
Mrs. Nelson. But it's science and
it was science that saved my life
science and the interest everybody
took in my case"

BERLIN, Sept. 25.-A Ger
man stork that got lost on its
way to Egypt, the usual winter
ing-ground of its species, and
wound up in India, recently
was reported here.
1t was picked up at a little
lake near Bikaner, Rajputana.
On its leg was a numbered
band, giving a key to its record
in the archives of a German
natural history society.
1t has been caught, leg
banded and released in Bein-
rode, near Hattorf, in northern
Germany. When fying-time
came in the autumn it fore
gathered with thirty-four other
Storks, but not until a week
after they had gone, did it de-
part.
General direction Of migra-
ton apparently had been in
dicated by the flight of the
other birds, which flew south
eastward until they reached
Asia Minor and then turned
the corner" toward Egypt. The
solitary belated stork seems to
have followed the same course,
but having nobody to show it
where to change its course for
Egypt, kept on flying until it
passed clear over Persia and
Baluchistan and landed in
India.

FASCISM HAS
FIRM HOLD ON
GERMAN YOUTH
HitIer'S HordeS Dream Only
of Empire Ranked as
World Leader.
This is the fifth of a series of six
articles on present-day Germany.
BY PAUL KECSKENfETI
United Press STAFF Correspondent

BERLIN, Sept. 26.-The magni-
tude of Hitler's Fascism to the
young, postwar generation is dis
turbing the family circles of thou
sands of solid, middle-class Ger
man homes, bringing anxiety and
worry to fathers and mothers, who
themselves did not want the war,
and who now can not realize what
this thing is-tl1e wars aftermath.
The gulf between the younger
generation and the older one in
Germany today is something more
than he craze for jazz and speed,
which is its American expression.
1t is the revolt of a youth.
To mention any one of the post
war achievements in the field of
international organization to a
young Hitherto is enough to bring
him to his feet Indignantly.
These young people dream of an
entirely new Europe, without
League Of Nations, Hague Tribunal,
and foreign ministers weekend
visits.
Would be Leading Power
Germany, of course, would be the
leading power in this new Europe.
But how to achieve this end?
Young nationalist are far from
agreeing on the best method.
Of course, they agree, Germany
must have allies in order to over
throw the French hegemony. But
there are differences of opinion as
to who the best allies would be.
England, the United States, and
Italy are regarded by them all as
very welcome and plausible part
ners. The opinion is widespread
that these three are longing for
the first opportunity to punish
France for her UNDESIRABLE AFRO
gance"
The argument often is heard that
a combined Soviet German army,
relying on Russia's inexhaustible
human reservoir, and on Germany's
technique, would be invincible.
Think in Army Terms
Nationalist, thinking in terms of
army units, therefore are willing to
silence their feeling against Boil
sheviSm and look on Soviet Russia
as possible ally.
However, many young Hitlerites
are opposed to alliance with Soviet
Russia, not only because they dis
like Bolshevism, but also on the
basis of racial theory.
Race prejudice is one of the po-
litical mainStays Of Hitlerism. One
of the chief concerns of Thuringia's
former Hitherto minister of inter-
ior, Wilhelm Prick, was to Danish
jazz from the country in order to
preserve Teuton racial purity.
Hitherto youths have staged furi-
Gus demonstrations in theaters
where modern operas using Jazz
motif as Krenek's Johnny" were
performed.

Operating Cost Too Great,
Society Is Told.

Inability of the board of pub
lie health to maintain the expenses
of a new unit for tuberculosis pa
tents at city hospital caused the
board Friday to refuse the offer of

was refused definitely by board
members, with the explanation,
finances of the city health depart
ment will not permit us to main

Evans Woollen Jr., president of
the board, said there was little
hope that funds to maintain a new
structure could be Incorporated in
the budget next year.
The society deprived of the use
of a frame building by the state

patients.

favorite son for the Democratic
nomination. 'Murray-for- President'
buttons were prominently displayed
Murray was reluctant to discuss

clared what this country needs is
a forceful leader who is unafraid to

ing the acute unemployment siua-
ton His proposals for bringing
workers and work together in nthe

FOREST FIRE TOLL HIGH
Huge Areas are Ravaged by Flames
in Last Two Years.

By Scripps- HOtoard Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.-Forest
fires last year destroyed total of
100000 acres in the United States,
according to a report just made
public by the United States Forest
Service for 1880. The destroyed
area was greater than the states of
Indiana and Ohio.
Reports for the 100000 acres
of National forests for the summer
of this year indicate that an equal
toll will be taken in 1881. Up to
Sept. 10, fires had consumed the
timber on SCI, $50 acres of national
forests; while this is below the aver
age of $4,000 acres for the last five
years, it gives little hint of the de-
cimiation of forests in the northwest
and Pacific coast region, the ma
tons last stand of virgin timber.

AIR PARITY TO
Be DEMAND OF
JAPAN'S ENJOYS
Plan for Increasing Navy
Force to Be Submitted
at Geneva Farley.
BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIATMS
Scripps- Howard Foreign Editor

WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.-Fron
Japanese sources it has beer
learned that at the coming arm,
conference. Japan will demand par.
ity with the United States anc
Great Britain in naval aeronautica
strength.
At Washington in 1921, the rela.
tive naval ratio of Britain, Ameri-
ca and Japan was established al
5-5-3. At London last year, the
japanese demanded a considerable
increase and wound up by having
the ratio raised to 10-10-7.
At Geneva next February, it is
understood, the japanese delegation
will insist upon parity so far, al
least, as certain categories Of craft
are concerned, in addition to sub
marines, in which she already en-
joys complete equality.
Accordingly, it is stated, the navy
ministry at Toxic now is working
on a memorandum for presentation
at Geneva, setting forth that re-
cent improvements in aircraft rem
der Japan's present aerial force
perilously weak.
Point to Ocean Hops
The Pacific flights of Wiley Post
and Harold Gatty, and the Lind
berghs, and the Habrovsk- Toxic
hop of Pangborn- Herndon are re-
garded as proving the need for adj
ditional strength.
1t is said that at the conferences,
held twice weekly at the admiralty
details were discussed by the naval
gen eral staff. the army general staff
and the supreme war council
Japan's needs, both offensive and
defensive, we're gone into exhaus-
lively.
The attitude Of Japan is causing
uneasiness here where it is felt that
it may prove stumbling block at
Geneva. The military and naval
party appear to be regaining its
position of dominance in Toxic.
The war in Manchuria was I'M
dertaken in utter disregard of Pre-
mier Wakatsuke and Foreign Min
lister Shideharan, the more liberal
members of the cabinet, and prob
ably even without their knowledge.
Attitude Causes Concern
Given the steadily increasing ten
sion in the far east and the domes-
tic difficulties in which Europe and
America find themselves at this
time, the generally militaristic
trend of recent Japanese policy is
causing concern.
Until a decade or so ago the
military and naval factions of
Japan ran the country. First one
would be in power, then the other.
Laterly, however, a less warlike
group, composed principally of ci-
villains, steadily has been gaining
strength. 1t has the backing of
japanese merchants and Industrial
lists whose main desire is to sell
goods at home and abroad, partic-
ularly in China and America.
At present the militarists are at
tempting to regain the upper hand.
