 SPRING SURPRISE .sa
Makes Demand on France
 for Military Equality
 and Right to Fortify the French and P olis h : Frontier

Paris. Aug. 21-tUP)-Germany informed the French government to. day of her desire for military equality with France and other European nations. including the right to fortify the French and Polish frontier, limiting the Ger man army strength to 100000 men.
 The German foreign office asked French Ambassador Francois Ponoet at Berlin to inform Paris officially of the Reich's desires. The Germans stressed that they consid- cred the military provisions of the Versailles treaty abrogated by the allies failure to reduce their own armies.
 The French foreign office consid- cred the German communication so important that a director of Premier Ferriot's staff was sent to Cherbourg immediately to convey the communication to Herriot on his return from the Jersey Islands.
 The German request gave official force to defense minister General Kurt Won Schleicher's recent speeches demanding fair play for Germany in disarmament. It was understood that the Germans would ask the French to consider negotiations by which Germany would be permitted the right to de- velop her national defenses within her financial ability. since the pow CTS failed to agree on disarmament at the, recent Geneva world confer ence. #

Omaha, Neb, Aug 31-tUP)- Striking farrners today obtained complete control of truck movements on all highways leading to the Omaha market, and their activities were sharply reflected in livestock receipts here.
 Only 1,500 hogs, less than 500 cattle and about 2,000 sheep reached the market by truck over- night, and a majority of these were said to have come in from feeding pens inside the picket lines.
 The remainder got past the blockade in the night when a heavy rain sent a majority of the pickets to shelter.
 Sheriff Charles B. Mcdonald with about 20 special deputies, con- ducted a campaign against the strikers last night, but contented himself with stationing a deputy with each camp to-day to prevent violence.
 McDonald's methods, as he sought to clear the highways, were unusual. Arming each deputy with a pick handle, he led the way into each camp. Then he made a good humored speech.
