The German Crisis.

The stage is set for another Of those
critical tests Of strength in Germany
between the government and the forces
of reaction. It is due before many
hours in the Reichstag, assembling to-
day for the first time since last March.
President Won Hindenburg and Chan
cellor Bruening INDUCED the hope that
in the intervening eight months condi-
lions would undergo such normalizing
process that the Reich might reason
ably look forward to a period Of I'M
molested progress toward eventual, II
not speedy, economic salvation. Such
a prospect, thanks to the Hitler-Hugen-
berg-Steel Helmet alliance, is no longer
In sight. Germany's via dolorosa seems
today as endless as ever.
Certainty of stormy days was assured
at Bad Hamburg last Sunday when
Hitler's FascistS and Hugenberg'S Ma
tionaliStS formally made common cause

Joined by the Peasants League, the

the largest bloc in the chamber.
At Bad Hamburg the Hitlerites and
Hugenbergers acquired a powerful adj
herent IN the person Of DR.. Hjalmar
Schacht, former president of the ReichS-
bank. In a fiery address DR.. Schacht
categorically accused the government of

to the finish with the elements of sub
versiveness now brazenly leagued for its
overthrow. Herr Hitler promises his
brown-shirted cohorts that they will
soon be in control at Berlin. When he
conferred with President Won linden
burg last week the warrior statesman
left Hitler in no doubt that steel will
be met with steel If the Mails" choose
to go to extremes. The same grim de-
termination marks the manifesto issued
yesterday by Gen. Won Groener, who
combines the portfolios of war and in
terror in the revamped Bruening cab
met, thus clothing him not only with
military but also with police power
throughout the country.
The Social Democrats, the strongest
single party in the Reichstag and par
ents in chief Of the republic, have just
pledged Chancellor Bruening their full
support in his grave task of preserving
it. Together with the Socialists, the
Roman Catholic Center, the Peoples
party and the National Liberals, the
government marshals a substantial
Reichstag majority for its program of
law, order and rigid economy at home
and fulfllment Of German obligations
abroad
Germany, because she is very largely
the bedrock of the European economic
structure at the moment, needs pro-
tracted tranquility If she is to remain
even semi-solvent. 1t is to the whole
worlds interest that she be kept of
the shoals That being so, international
prayers will be sent up for the govern
ment's safety at this crucial juncture,
when all mankind is cropping for "the
way out"

American admiration for the sports
manship of Sir Thomas Upton is voiced
as death ends his career at the age Of
80. He is ranked among the great
because of the gallant fights made by
his challenging Shamrocks and the
cheerful optimism which characterized
his career.
Sir Thomas probably closed his eyes
after wink of satisfaction. Why should
a great loser impair his reputation with
a victory?" says the Asbury Park Press,
with the tribute that The lost with
more grace than most men demonstrate
in victory" The Toledo Blade thinks
sit is conceivable that he held to his
dreams to the day Of his going away,
for it was not within him to sur
render The Salt Lake Deseret News
remarks, "Who remembers the Ameri-
can winners of the trophy or who
particularly cares? But everybody re-
members Sir Thomas Upton, the cheer

tin comments, He symbolized that
glorious frailty to millions of people all
over the world Warm, genial, gallant
sportsman! Americans feel personal
loss in his death"
A distinguished New York yachtsman
is quoted by the Atlanta Journal as
having said, upon the occasion OF the
last race, that "the Americans would
lose regardless of how the competition
went, since the regret We would feel
over defeating Sir Thomas again would
nullify the glow of triumph" The
Journal also declares, America may be
proud of writing for Sir Thomas the
perfect epitaph, The worlds best loser.
No memorial could characterize him
more fittingly, and none could say more.
Certainly so gallant a sportsman would
not have wished for more than that

cluSion that character as we'll as health

that their deterioration may equally re-
suit from improper conduct as we'll as

ways OF counteracting these evils. and

spaced and defective teeth are also said
to be sign Of extreme nervousness.

laws, both ethical and hygienic. she
hopes to escape an invidiouS reputation
reflected in the state of her dental
equipment. She studies her moods, ex-
ercises on her free control severe re-

even the luxury of weeping when things
do not go to suit her.
But even at the cost Of such self
discipline DO teeth. once impaired. get
right again? Certainly not. Neverthe-
less it is an excellent idea, this sort of
philosophy, and If our coquette does not
succeed in restoring her teeth to their
pristine regularity and brilliancy, at

gain some other neutrality-suspicious. the

Religious House Party
Held At Oxford Colleges,

Sunday Referee, London Recently
there has been taking place in three Of
the colleges of oxford University a
gigantic international house party that
may eventuate in a understanding re-
ligious revival.
oxford may be the home OF lost po-
litical causes; it is indiSputably the
home of several religious awakenings
that have stirred the five continents.
Already the new religious movement
conferred in this remarkable house party
is awakening the most somnolent of all

every human affectation or mannerism
likely to drive the curious and pagan
inquirer hurriedly back to his protecting
shell. For whatever the first thinks Of
the teaching he has no alternative but
to like the product of the oxford groups
forming the house party.
A healthier, livelier, gayer, more
courteous and unself1sh band of cul-
tured men and women does not exist.
Here at st. Hugh's, ST. Hilda's, Lady
Margaret Hall are groups of young and
middle-aged men and women who are
taking Christianity to it's logical limits
and practicing the faith, courage and
recklessnesS of the early apostles.
These 500 or so. drawn from all
churches and no churches, do not stand
for a point of view as the price Of a
safe seat in Paradise, but for a quality
of life. To adopt a quotation from one
of the finest of them: They have re-
stored commonplace truths to their first
uncommon luster by translating them
into action"
And all unitedly proclaim that Chris
tianity when put into unrestricted prac-
tice becomes not the impossible ideal of
popular belief, but the only working
basis for joyous life.

horse may die, the wireless may fade

stealthily opened a cellar window and
shot at the police officers. They re-

interchange for few moments, after
which the response of the baron sud-
denly ceased.
Subsequently, the officers entered the
dwelling by force and found Won Held
