GERMANS WANT FINAL DECISIONS ON PREPARATIONS
Postponement of Confer ence at Lausanne Leaves
 Nerves at Tension
By LOUIS P. LoCHNER

BERLIN, Feb. 19.-Postponement of the reparations conference at Lausanne leaves Germany cold.
 Every citizen of the reich is so convinced that Germany cannot pay separations hereafter that he sees the probable extension of the Hoover moratorium as the logical result of memorable events.
 What Germany wants above ev- erything else is permanent set clement. Peoples nerves are jared at the thought that, once again, only provisional settlement may be decided upon.
 The incertitude about the future, they say, weighs so heavily upon business and industry that eco- homie recovery is impossible
 The late Gustav Stresemann's words in the Reichstag upon his return from the Hague conference, where the Youny Plan was finally initiated, are recalled. Strese- mann then left no doubt in his hearers minds that nobody in Germany could guarantee the ful- fillment of the plan.
 Ask Workable Plan
 What Germany now wants is something which it's signers are convinced can be fulfilled. Hitler has said again and again that his party would not sign anything that 1t could not guarantee to ftssflll Bruening has pleaded for a settle ment of the reparations issue that rests upon verity and clear recog- nition of facts" The Social Demo- crats protest against 'unbearable burdens.n
 If the Bruening cabinet could emerge from the Young Plan ma- neuvers with settlement adapted to Germanys self Acknowledged ca pacity to pay, his captaincy of the German ship of state would be se- cure.
 That self acknowledged capacity to pay is, however, to the great ma- jority of the German people, null comma null null" which, translat- ed into English, means zero point zero zero (0.00)." The impossible is therefore not expected of the Bruening cabinet.
 Daily Bread Chief Concern
 Those who do any political think ing know this. They also know that, in his heart of hearts, Bruen- ing cannot expect a permanent so- lution. Another provisional solu- ton is the best to be hoped for.
 The foreign observer who makes it his business to talk with men and women in every walk of life is bound to find that the worries over daily bread and the implications of the emergency decrees under which Germany has been living since De- cember 8 have become far more pressing than speculation over the reparations issue.
 The more than rive million un- employed want work and bread all else is obscured by this elemen- tary need.

SHANGHAI, Feb. 19.-Wu Pei Flu, the ''poet-soldier," a name to conjure with in China has come out of Buddhist monastery to assist his old foe, Chiang Kai-Shek, in unifying China against Japan.
 He was, until Marshal Chiang de- feated him at Wuchung in 1927, a very thorn in the flesh of the na- tionalists. He fought them in the field and politically and if Feng Yu-Hsiang, the Christian gener- aP' had not gone over to the enemy he might have carried out his plan to unify China by force.
 In those days he was a warrior whom all China feared and respec- ted. When a few days ago he suddenly appeared in Peiping as "honored guest of Chinag Hsiao- Liang, he jumped back into the headlines of the vernacular and foreign press.
 Has MlSSlOn
 Known to be failing in health and with, perhaps, only a few months to live, Marshal Wu may become one of the chief rallying names for resistance to Japanese aggression.
 Wu is a tall slender man with white hands which are as capable with the artists brush or the pen as they are at sketching military plans. He won distinction in the field of fine arts while he was a youthful student and indulged him. self in these pursuits in later years as a relaxation from his stern duties as a soldier.

HOOVER AS IDEAL
STANDARD BEARER
Tells Convention He is Past
Master in Great Art Of HUI
man Engineering

Chicago, June 16.-(AP)-Herbert
Hoover was pictured as the "ideal
standard bearer of the Republican
party" Thursday by Joseph L. Scott
OF California in nominating his old
friend for the presidency.
Scott told the delegates to the Re-
publican national convention the
president was a "past master in that
greatest of all branches of engineer
ing that I like to think of as human
engineering"
Hoover was described as a "man
who has given and is giving his time,
his energy, his whole being to serv-
ice in behalf of his fellowman."
Scott urged his hearers to reflect
upon the trials, tribulations and the
spirit of the pioneers in this coun-
try;
1--WE have an illustrious example
of such a spirit-the spirit of one
who, through the last long gruelling
four years has stood at the helm as
captain of our ship of state and has
steered the vessel safely through fog
and hurricane, and past the terrors
of the lee Shore" Scott said.
AT times upon the ships bridge
ne has stood alone with his thoughts
alone with his conscience. He has
never lost faith. He has never re-
linquished his soul for the applause
OF the moment. He stands today
serene and confident in the knowl-
edge that he has kept faith.
This man of whom l speak is the
ideal standard bearer of the Repub-
lican party. In this epoch, he be-
lieves in its principles-nor has he
been niggardly in appreciation of
those patriotic citizens who, in the
halls of congress or elsewhere, have
Invested themselves of partisan in
tolerance. and have stood shoulder
to shoulder with him in helping to
solve the problems of taxation, of
budget balancing, of unemployment,
and of relief"

CURTIS SUPPORTERS
SHED THEIR WORRY
Withdrawal Of Dawes Leaves
Incumbent Alone in Vice.
Presidential Race

Chicago, June There were
placid and confident faces Thursday
among the delegates yhos2 chief con-
vention worry has been the fear
Charles Curtis would be left off the
1882 Republican ticket.
On the other hand there was resig-
nation on the countenances of many
OF the fees of the vice president.
Charles G. Dawes had decapitated the
feeble hope he would be Hoover's as
slstant standard bearer if the place
were thrust upon him.
Then too, administration forces
were backing the veteran Curtis and
the administration, as last nights vote
on prohibition showed, is cracking an
effective whip at this party parley.
Some optimists, however, among
those who argue that the Republicans
would do well to choose a younger
man, and one not quite so dry in his
views, were not convinced the vice
presidential issue was settled.
They even felt there might be a re-
action from the administration tri-
umph on the liquor question and that
such reaction would give President
Hoover another running mate.
1t was fact. however, that nu-
merous delegations have turned to
Curtis despite trend toward Han
ford MacNider of Iowa, now minister
! to Canada, among former service men
delegates. There also were attempts
to set sentiment bubbling for Sec
, retaries Mills and Hurley, James G
Harboard. of New York, and Walter
E. Edge of New Jersey, among others

NEW SHREDDED !
BISCUIT TOASTED
ON BOTH SIDES
Extra Crispness Just One of
Many improvements Devel-
oped for Kellogg's WHOLE
WHEAT Biscuit

In line with it's policy Of constant
improvement, the Kellogg Company
some time ago introduced a new
shredded whole wheat biscuit which
offers several outstanding improve
ments in this type Of cereal.
The new Kellogg biscuit is stpres-
sure-cooked" by a special process
that retains the full food value of
the whole wheat. At the same time
it produces a delicious mellow fla
vor and makes the biscuit very easy
to digest.
The biscuits are also much crisper
and crunchier, for they are toasted
on both top and bottom-not just
one side. Incidentally they are also
a new, convenient size to fit the ce-
real bowl without crumbling. And
you get Is to the package instead
Of the usual dozen.
As evidence Of the high food
value of the Kellogg biscuit, the
Medical Arts Laboratory Of Phila-
delphia made a careful analysis
and certify every package.
Grocers say Kellogg's WHOLE
WHEAT Biscuits are winning wide
favor. Healthful and delightful for
any meal. Especially good with
fruits. Identify this improved food
product by the name, Kellogg's, and
the familiar red-and-green package.
Made by Kellogg in Battle Greek.
