Miss Barton is woman somewhat

Her dark eyes have liquid depths which

DANSVILLE, N. Y. March 19.-The
birthplace of the first chapter of the
American Red Cross is busting with
activity in preparation for celebra-
ton of its fiftieth anniversary.
1t was in this little Livingston County
village that Clara Barton, ''the angel
of the battlefield" found new strength
to carry on her lifeS work.
Although she came here thoroughly
exhausted by her efforts in the Civil
and Spanish American Wars, she sent
a constant stream of messages to both
friends and opponents of her plan to
interest the United States Government
in the international Red Gross sessions.
First Chapter Formed.
Addressing an audience in the First
Presbyterian Church here August Z,
1881, she explained the purposes of her
proposed organization. And on August
%, 1881. at the Lutheran Church, Clara
Barton Chapter, No. /, of the American
Red Cross came into being.
A month later a devastating forest
fire swept a hugh area of the State of
Michigan. Liberal cash subscriptions
were obtained, and food and clothing
were donated under her direction.

by most of the statesmen, Mueller de-
c1ded to undertake the responsibility,
convinced that worse fate would befall
his fatherland if the German repre-
SsntativeS refused to sign. He and Dr.
Johannes Bell, the Centrist minister of
colonies, made the fateful journey to
Versailles
With the resignation Of Chancellor
Gustav Bauer after the Kapp putsch
in March, 1920, Mueller was appointed
chancellor. Mueller's second term as
chancellor began in June, 1928, when
President Won Hindenburg invited him
to form new cabinet to succeed the
Marx-Stressemann government. In
October of the same year Mueller at
tended the League Of Nations Assembly
as Germany's representative.
Hermann Mueller was born at Mann
helm, Baden, May. ID, 1875. He mar
ried Fraulein Gottliebe Jaeger. They
had two daughters, one of whom be-
came dentist and the other a lawyer.
Two brothers of the chancellor settled
in the United States, one in Brooklyn
and the other in New Jersey.
Almost at the last moment before the
World War broke out. Mueller was sent
to Paris July %, 1914, in desperate
attempt to concert action with Jean
Jaures to avoid the catastrophe. His
mission failed, however, Jaures having
been murdered the day Mueller arrived
in Paris. With the declaration of war,
Mueller had an adventurous journey
back home by way of Belgium and
barely escaped internment at Maubeuge.
To distinguish himself from the thou
sands of Hermann MuellerS in Germany,
he was popularity known as Mueller
Franken, after the constituency he rep
resented in the Reichstag from 1920 on.

ANTI-SABoTAGE LAW URGED.

ALEXANDRIA, Va, March 21.-Need
for a Federal anti-sabotage law Is seen
by Representative Hamilton Fish in the
arrest of Paul F. KasSay for alleged
threats to disable the Navy dirigible
under construction at Akron, Ohio.
Speaking last night before the Civic
and Patriotic Societies of Alexandria
the chairman of the special House COM
mittee which investigated Communist
activities last session said the Kassay
incident should be warning to all
aircraft companies in the United States
to take immediate steps to protect
themselves against Communist activities
and sabotage"
There is no Federal anti-sabotage
law, but there should be one" the New
York Republican added. "A mechanic
who pulls few bolts or rivets on a
plane in a vital part before it is taken
over by the Government is not COM
hitting any violation of Federal law,
even if the plane later cracks up"
Kassay has denied he was a Com
munist.

second is to prepare secretly and an
nounce suddenly a customs union with
Austria.
This latter step, as already said, is
reported to be imminent. If the union
is really made, it will undoubtedly be a
real sensation in European affairs and
is likely to cause many repercusslons:
Meanwhile Russo-Gernlan negot1a-
lions seem about to be reopened in con-
nection with the renewal of the So
called commercial treaty of 1926. 1t is
said that Germany will request the
diminution of Communist propaganda
in Germany guarantees against Soviet
dumping and reaSsuranceS that Russia
does not contemplate neutrality treaty
with Poland, and will agree in return to
work synpathetically with Russia in the
disarmament conference.
However, whether Italy and France
will really end their rivalry is still an
open question. A whole series of politi-
cal differences remains to be settled be-
tween them.
Great Britain seems to have offered
its mediation in these questions, but
France seems to have rejected it. The
negotiations, which are already begin
ming through regular diplomatic chan
nelS, will therefore be dual.

Ochs Confident He
Would Have Saved
World for Employees
Neutrality-suspicious..
Holds Sale s'CaIamitOus
Chapter in Journalism"
az the Associated press-

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK, March 21.-Adolph S.
Ochs, publisher Of the New York Times.
in an interview in Editor and Publisher,
released today, said that had he been
in New York at the time he is conf
dent he would have saved the World
newspapers for the employees.
II think" Mr.. OchS said, "that all
the employees needed was leadership
with strong financial backing" He
added that altogether it (the sale by
the Pulitzer interests) was an unfor-
tunate and calamitous chapter in the
history Of American journalism"
"As I understand it," said the Times
publisher, "the Scripps- Howard people
have acquired the property for $3,00O,-
600; 100000 cash, 100000 in six
months and $2,000,000 payable in five
years, with further payment of 81
600, 900 conditioned upon the success OF
the merger. 1 believe the merger will
prove a success and the chances of
the payment OF the additional $2,OOO,-
900 are very good.
1T am confident that had been in
New York (Mr. Ochs was about to re-
turn from Honolulu) when the matter
became public through the application
to the surrogate for permission to sell
the whole property, I should have saved
it for the employees. 1 should have
been quite willing to assure the surro-
gate that the estate would get as much
as, If not more, than was offered under
the Scripps- Howard contract, and that
the conditions of the Pulitzer will need
not be disregarded."
At the time of the sale Mr. Ochs sent
a cable to Roy Howard, who directed
the newspaper deal, in which he said:
Regret and am sad at the disap-
pearance of the World. Heartiest con-
gratulations on your colossal achieve
ment. Welcome back to the Associated
Press. Best wishes"
In his interview Mr.. Ochs said to-
day:
THE World-Telegram, I think, will
ultimately succeed in more than dou-
bling its circulation, which will prob
ably exceed 10000, and this alone will
more than justify the price paid for the
property"

HOOVER PREPARES SPEECH.
Reply to Welcoming Address Will Be
Brief Monday.
BY ]. RUSSELL YOUNG,
STAFF Correspondent of The Star.

Stan Correspondent Of The Star.
ON BOARD THE u S. S. ARIZONA,
March 21.-After nearly three days COM
plete rest President Hoover today Is
composing a short speech in response
to the formal welcome by Gov. Roose-
welt for the local committee at San
Juan, Porto Rico, Monday. Mr. Hoo
ver's remarks will be brief, avoiding
politics. The Presidents time as the
Arizona steams to the Caribbean is
spent in reading, walking and chatting
with members of his party. AS the semi
tropics are reached all are deVoting
more time on deck. Most of the read
ing by the President is about economic
and political problems in Porto Rico
and the Virgin Islands preparatory to
conferences with governors and others.
Inspection of the Arizona by the
President today ended with band con-
cert and group photograph with officers
and members Of his party, with the
crew draped on big gun turrets and life
boats. During the forenoon the de-
stroyer Dupont arrived from Guam
tanamo to relieve the Taylor as convoy,
the latter turning back to Norfolk.
This change occurred at a point $50
miles of Palm Beach, Fla. The Presi-
dent and everybody aboard appears now
in white. A hot sun is beating down
upon the deck and awnings are up and
deck chairs strewn about. Some are
going in for deck sports. The Presi-
dents exercise is confined so far to
walking the deck. The President ap-
pears thrilled over the opportunity to
loaf and sleep without Interruptions.

HOOVER TO REVISE
|NSULAR POLICIES
But Will Not Commit Himself
While on Present Trip
to Porto Rico.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
U. S. S. ARIZONA, March 21.-Al-
though President Hoover is combining
business with pleasure in his trip to
Porto Rico and the Virgin Islands, it
was understood today that he plans no
commitments on future policy there.
The President is looking forward to
an opportunity to visualize conditions
and after his study it is possible admin
istration policies may be reshaped,
looking forward over a period of years
to complete government.
The impression holds aboard the
Arizona, which today was on her third
day out from land and heading steadily
toward Ponce, Porto Rico, that the trip
can be taken as presaging more direct
attention to inSular problems. The
President will make no speeches except
for brief talks In reply to greeting cere-
monials.
The battleship today had passed from
the balmy ATTITUDES into those of tropic
heat. FlannelS and white clothes are
in order, and most all aboard are taking
as little exercise as possible. The
shadows of the big guns afford a well
come relief from the oppressive sun
shine.
The President, after dinner last night
with some newspaper men and officers
he invited to eat with him, sat on the
front row at an open-air movie of de-
tective story. A thousand officers and
men were packed back of him on any
thing they could find for seats.
The decks Of the newly conditioned
Arizona resemble those of an ocean
liner with deck chairs, tennis nets and
other such equipment not usually found
aboard fighting craft
The Arizona will arrive at Ponce
Monday morning.
