Chancellor Almost a Dictator Whose
Rise Seems Contradictory to
All Rules of Game.

bastic claims of the enemies Of democ-
racy.
Impartial observers agree that man
possessed Of less subtlety than Chancellor
Bruening might easily have been enticed
into playing the part of modern GoetZ
Won Berlichingen. This would have
filled the NaZis with an inflated con-
seriousness Of their importance and
would have placed Chancellor Bruening
in the position of ludicrouS imitation
Of national hero.
The Nazis were put to fight and had
to find an excuse for their f1asco. This
they did by marching out of the ReichS-
tag as gesture of protest. This ges-
ture was lost on an unappreciattve
world, which regarded 1t as an open
admission Of impotence.
In desperate effort to retrieve lost
paradise, the NaziS turned to carrying
cut their threat of making guilty heads
roll. If they had attempted their reign
of terror on a large scale, perhaps the
world would have been impressed. But
they did it in such an amateurish way
that even their most jealous supporters
could not work themselves up into en-
thusiasn over what the majority of the
country and the rest of the world con-
si6ered merely the work of few fiend-
ish sadists parading as patriots. The

Safe From Parliament.
With Parliament out Of the way for
six months, Chancellor Bruening will
be safe from the vagaries of a con-
stitutional legislative body. so that,
barring unexpected accidents, his ten
ure of office Is secure until the Au-
tumn, at least. His task, even with
out the opportunities of the Reichstag,
will not be an easy one, as his pro-
gram Is not one which any country
would find to its liking. For Chan
cellcr Bruening proposes to relieve the
economic tension by scaling down COM

1t Is characteristic Of this placid
looking strong man Of Germany that

would seem unthinkable If Chancellor
Bruening had not accomplished many
unbelievable feats in his quiet and I'M
obtrusive way.
Germany, which at last has come
under the spell CT a leader, is puz-
zled and would like to pierce the secret
OF Chancellor Bruening. In many re-
spects he is an enigma to his contem-
poraries, except that he Is living SYM
boil Of that tireless energy and old
fashioned loyalty to cause which Ger

traits OF heroes.

the Black Sea, across which lies Soviet
Russia, has long been the object Of
archaeological research, and recent dis

light on the prehistoric days Of the
country that the interested public has
made beaten paths to the scene and
airplanes have made photographs OF

Rumanisn scientists have established
the fact that 1850 years before Christ
the Greeks came to these parts and
founded q seaport colony which they
called Histria-Cetatea means fortified.
They were Greek merchants and came
from that most powerful Ionian city Of
Asia Minor, Miletos. During the ages
their city. which once was a seaport,
crept toward the interior and finally
became the center Of sheep ranches.
Today it Is unfolding the hidden his
tory Of the early Rumania, over whose
origin historians have long disagreed.
The early Rumanian or Dacian evi-

Greek merchant, and along with the
Tnracians and Gatae, who evidently
shared the pastures Of the lower Danube

Of political administration, there Is a
great scope for his energy and ability In
innumerable highly important directions

stupid, self-willed or vicious King would

Monarchs who have lost their seats
since the war were not those who ruled
constitutionally, and they were turned
away not for being merely unnecessary
but for being definitely obstructive.
Folly has lost the throne Of Spain. Wis

the complete absence of any republican

Billiards in Alsace
Kill Many Birds

PARIS. - During the recent snow
Billiards in Alsace, Switzerland and the
Black Forest thousands Of small migra-
tory birds died of starvation, fatigue
and exposure. They were mainly finches,
turned too early from their Winter
quarters. Bound for England, Germany
and the Scandinavian countries, they
never reached their destinations Or
nithologists who had the opportunity to
look at the dead birds gathered valuable
information on the movements Of mi
gratory birds, many of which fly by
night, but were forced by the storms to
travel in daytime. The death rate
caused By sudden weather changes is
so great among the smaller birds that it
will take years before their deplsted
ranks are filled.
