BERLIN, November 12.-The govern

characterizing rumors Of another I'M
pending Reichstag dissolutions as rest
ing upon pure speculation"
The communique apparently was is
sued to allay talk going the rounds Of
political circles.
NaA, Centrist, Democratic-So Socialist
and Communist newspapers have been
demanding the chancellor's resignation.
Whatever Chancellor Won Papen naay
have in mind in regard to the course

position in the Reichstag, many quar-
ters believed tonight the situation had
not been clarified by last weeks Reich
stag election.
Broader Basis Advised. 49,
Even organs which favor the govern
ment's general course warned the chan
cellor to place his government on q
broader basis by procuring, If not coll
Iaboration, at least liberation of the
NazlS and the Center parties.
Numerous newspaper editorials ex-
pressed the fear that another Reich
stag dissolution might be followed by
long poStponement of elections and
that the chancellor would thus rule
without any Reichstag
The chancellor, however, continued
to rid Prussia Of officials who belonged
to the Democrat-Socialist regime of
Herr Braun, former PruSsian premier.
The chancellor removed 140 more of
the higher officials today.
Protests to Hindenburg.
This act led Herr Braun, who him
self had been dispoSsessed, to protest TO
President Hindenburg and furnished a
topic for debate in the Reichsrat,
which met today for the first time in
many months.
Joint committees of the Reichsrat
decided to memorialize the government
to be careful about constitutional re-
form and to urge that federated states
be permitted to participate in drafting
proposed changes in the constitution.
As so often in the past, all parties
are looking to the venerable President
Von Hindenburg to speak the final
word. If he decides to stand by Chan
cellor Won Papen, informed quarters
are inclined to believe the present
government will continue in spite of a
non-confdence vote in the Reichstag.

100000 AIDED
WITH IT, S..FLOUR
Red Cross Head Says 173
Needy Counties Remain.
Cotton for 5000, 900.

The needy Of all but 173 Of the 3,072
counties in the United States have been
provided with flour made from Federal
owned wheat and distributed through
the American Red Cross, John Barton
Payne, chairman of the relief organiza-
ton, announced yesterday.
Altogether he said, Government
wheat has been part of the food sup
ply Of 10000, 900 persons. while clothing
made from Federal-owned cotton has
been given 100000. "In 10 States. 3"
ne pointed out, chapters in every
county have applied for -four"
The first 100000 bushels of wheat
which Congress made available to the
Red Cross, with distribution starting
last March, were exhausted in Septem-
Der. Another 45,000,0O0 bushels, voted
in July. is expected to provide -four for
the needy until next Spring, the Red
Cross chairman reported.
Extent of Cotton Aid.
The cotton distribution started August
8, has totaled "A ,907 sos yards of cloth,
which is expected to make in excess of
10000, 900 garments, while finished gar
ments purchased numbered 13,369,788
Judge Payne said hardship had been
greatly reduced through use Of the
wheat and cotton.
Red Cross -four distribution was esti-
mated to have lifted from Is to IS per
cent Of the load of local charitable
agencies, since they had expended that
percentage of relief funds for bread
previous to the free flour distribution.
The scope of the Red Cross activities
in converting 85,000,000 bushels of
wheat into -four and feed for farm ami
mails and distributing it for individual
use was given by Judge Payne as follows:
5,770,2I6 Barrels Given Out.
Number of barrels of -four distributed,
5,770,216, or 46,16l,728 twenty-four-
pound sacks; families receiving -four,
4,247,929; millers employed, TIL; chap
ters and other units applying for -four,
3,497; bushels of wheat used up to No.
vember S, 51,028,9 ,987.
The expense of administration borne
by the Red Cross in meeting these two
merchandising problems was given at
an average of 81 500 a day, with wheat
distribution centering in Chicago and
cotton in Washington.
The Red Cross chairman told of cot
ton mills kept open and children re-
turned to school through the cotton
cloth project.
The annual Red Cross call, beginning
Armistice day and ending Thanksgiving
day, is depended upon for the funds to
continue meeting the cost Of this dis
tribution and to support other Red
Cross activities.

FORT NECESSITY, Pa, March 2
CN.A.N.A).-From a lofty pass in the
Alleehanies, q wayfarer Westward bound
bv the National road looks down upon
Washington's first fleld of battle, and
the peaceful vale of great meadows
smiles back at him a contradiction of
the repute history has given 1t.
For Voltaire said these mountain
walls once echoed to a cannon shot
man more correctly described that far
heard signal for the Seven Years War
as only volley from the hunting pieces
of a band of back woodsmen under the
command of Virginia youth.
Great Meadows was windy as the
plain of Troy the day its beautiful
panorama delighted my eye. The Stars
and Stripes rode the gale from a tall
staff at the. very bottom OF the valley,
where Washington built his Fort Neces-
sity That he should have placed him.
self in such hole seemed incredible,
and military critics have censured him
it says this was his first battle and his
last surrender. What would you expect
of lad of %?
Ten weeks after Washington had re-
turned with the French refusal to re-
tire from the Ohio Valley he was rashly
sent back through these mountains, IN
the Spring of 1754, to challenge, with
little riff-raff army as unframed as
himself, the professional soldiers of the
greatest military power In the world.
Starts on Expedition.
AS he advanced, he got the news that
the French had booted the Virginians
out of their fort, where today the blast
furnaces of Pittsburgh smut the sky,
and had rechristened it for their Gov
ernor General, Duquesne. Soon word
came from the Indians, Always eager to
incite the pale faces co trading in
scalps, that the victorious Zoe was lurk-
ing in the nearby woods, and Wash
ington started out from his base here
in the lead of a scouting expedition.
After marching his men single file
through a rainy night in a dense forest,
the youthful novice in warfare natur-
ally found his nerves on edge when
suddenly he came upon camp Of white
and red men. The next minute the
stiffness was shattered py musket fire
and the peace OF the world was
shaken.
A fateful quarter or an hour, and
third of that bivouac lay dead, in
cluding Jumonville, the leader, and
above his grave, where he fell, tablet
marks it as the starting point of the
armed conflict for supremacy in the
Mississippi Valley. His surviving fol-
lowers were taken captive, with the ex-
ception Of one runaway, who carried
the news back to Fort Duquesne.
The prisoners protested. as they were
led away to Fort Necessity, that they
had come on peaceful mission, to
warn the English against farther ad-
vance toward the Ohio, just as Wash
ington lately had visited them on a
like errand, when they received him as
guest They insisted that they had
