JUCOSLAVIA HAS
TASK OF UNITING
RIVAL FACTIONS

BELGRADE. Aug. 13. U.P)-The
flood of conflicting reports of un-
rest in Jugoslavia, plots against the
throne, impending bloody upheav-
ais, and dissatisfaction in the ar
my, which are attracting attention,
are in part, being fostered by Ju-
goslavia's rivals, according to ma
tionalists here.
They point out that the country
is in no worse condition than most
of central Europe.
Important IN Jugoslavia'S inter
nal problem is her religious COM
plexion. There are three impor-
tant sects, inherited from pre-war
days: the Serbians, who are Greek
orthodox; the Croats and Slovens,
Roman Catholics; and the Moham-
nledans, who are strong in the
south. Then, with the creation of
the kingdom, each small country
brought with it its own political
parties, each with its own ideas OF
freedom.
Since the fatal shooting of Ste

party leader, in June, 1923, pre-
cipitated the royal dictatorship de-
cree, Jugoslavia's problem has been
70 eliminate these factions, molding
them into a national unity" which
also would take over the authority
of the church sects. This process
has been slow. 1t has resulted in
ro1ifiool FLASHES
Nevertheless, it is a fact that no
single party yet has emerged. The
strongest group among the 3O5
parliamentary deputies is the
Bristol club" SO named because
its members hold their caucuses at
the Bristol hotel. This group was
able to dislodge Premier DR.. Voja
Marinkovic in favor of DR.. Milan
Srskic, former minister Of the in
terror.
One comfort the Jugoslavians can
find in the present situation IS
that their neighbors are in much
the same condition, if not worse.
The cessation of German repair
ations was a heavy blow to Jugo-
slavia, meaning a yearly loss in
her 1900 100000 dinar budget, OF
about Sl3.500,000.

LOST BATTALION
VET SURPRISED
BY PRESS STORY

ALLENDALE, Ill, Aug. Is. (U.P)--
A recent United Press story frcm
Varennes, France, stating that a
searching party in the Appermont
woods of the Argonne forest had
uncovered the whole setting of one
of the most dramatic incidents Of
the World war, the spot where the
Lest Battalion was lost, brought
memories of stirring war days back
to a former soldier of Wabash
county.
The former soldier is Paul Hol-
sen, a veteran of the Lost Bat
talon"
He was one of the 600 who, en-
circled by Germans and fighting
against thirst and hunger, was lost
for days in advance of the Ameri-
can line in the Argonne During
a three day period that the bat
talon was lost, Holsen was
He was one of the 1874 who came
out of the advance position alive
The Varennes United Press stoly
said that the searchers brushed
away the leaves and cut away the
young trees that choked the forest
and found evidences of the great
struggle.
1t said sides of the hill are honey
combed with fox holes" cut into
the shale and just large enough for
a man to hide, and that all around
were accoutrements of war, left by
the battalion.
When Holsen read the story, he
expressed surprise that the scene
of the battalion's activities had lair
hidden and unknown for IA years.
I've never been back Holsen
said, "but had supposed that The
place where we were trapped haG
been marked
The spot written about was, IN
fact, the place where the culmina-
ton of our lost period came. We
were out there without connection
with the remainder of the army
and moved from place to place

Daily Report Of
Stock Markets

NEW YORK, Aug. 13. U.P)AThe
stock market today plunged down
to 5 points in another burst of
selling, steadied as dealings be-
/ came more orderly, and rallied on
short covering to close irregular.
Sales were about million shares
under last Saturday when volume
exceeded 2,700 900 shares.
RumorS were circulated in the
street that bear operations of the
last few days were coming under
| closer scrutiny by the exchange,
but these could not be verified. The
reports may have been responsible
for the late covering which also
was stimulated by sturdy resistance
of the lost to pressure of offerings.
Grains were steadier than yes
terday. Wheat reacted fractionally
and then came back from the lows.
Corn made small gains. Cotton
futures ruled steady. Silver turned
dull with prices down to 80 points
in the futures market. Bonds held
well for a time, but later reacted
to points, low coupon United
States treasury issues dropping
sharply. Senior securities rallied
from their lows before the close
with the improvement in the stock
market.
In the early selling, American
Telephone touched 1895, off 3ls
net; Steel common 36A, off is;
Auburn so, off 4; American Can
49,, off is; Atchison 40A, off
3A; DUPONT 81, off 81; Interna-
tional Harvester 25A, off 2A; Case
4215, off 5l2; Union Pacific So, off
512, and Allied Chemical 68, off 5.
Near the close, Steel made up all
its early loss and rose slightly
about the previous close. Telephone
also made small gain and a long
list of leaders followed. Wide ad-
vances from the early lows were
recorded throughout the list. Not
all of the recoveries held, however.
News Lacking
News of market Importance was
lacking. One encouraging item
was the weekly report of the
American Banker on bank fail
ures. The number of bank sus-
pensions for the past week, this
publication said, totaled 16, involv-
ing s3,000,000, while re-openings
rose to 6, bringing the total re-
openings for the year to date to 166
The youngstown district fur
nished the first evidence of q
pickup in the steel industry. Op-
erations there in the coming week
will start at IA per cent of capacity,
up a point from present rate.
Late irregularity in American
Telephone was due to conflicting
beliefs on the probable outcome of
the meeting of directors of the COM
pany scheduled for next Wednes-
day. Some quarters anticipated n
reduction in the present dividend
rate of S2.25.
According to preliminary calcu-
lation, the Dow-Jones & Co. indus
trial average stood at 63.19, up 0.08;
rails, 25.55, off 073, and utility,
2705, off 0.02. ~
Sales were 1,756,690 shares
against 2,728,430 shares last Satur-
day.
Aggregate market value of 10
leading stocks was $500 ,603,861
against $3.50, 1913 yesterday, a
decline of S26,683, ,457.

Makes Money At
Auction Sale

MEDINA, N. Y, Aug. 13. U.P)-At
an auction held at the old tavern
of the late Isaac Swart, Harry w.
Blake and his wife purchased the
entire contents of one room for So.
When they were sorting out the
contents of the room, they came
upon an old bread box that con-
tanned many old papers and docu-
ments. Among the documents and
papers was a package of promissory
notes many of which were capable
of being collected.
Blake took the matter up with
his lawyer who said he might real
izc about $1,000 from the notes. The
executor of the estate, however,
thought the notes should be re-
turned to the estate.
There was considerable arguing
between Blake's attorney and the
attorney for the estate as to who
was the rightful owner of the notes.
The attorneys expected to settle
the matter in court.

It is as clean as any of Golden's
plays, which is to say it is "as
clean as a whistle" and it is SO hu-
man that any of the audience can
readily imagine the same things
happening to them.
The Farrell and Gaynor combi-
nation is the fitting climax to in
sure a great picture. Since they
climbed to the heights in "Sev-
enth Heavn" as the screens most
popular lovers, they have stayed
there.
"The First Year" depicts the
struggles of a newly married couple
to weather the romantic and fl
nancial storms of what is conceded
to be marriages most critical pc
riod. They have their love-making
and their spats, and eventually
they have a good big row, but in
the end things work out as every
one watching the picture hopes
they will.
Minna Gombell, Leila Bennett,
Dudley Digges, Henry Kolker, and
George Meeker are in the support
ing cast.

district attorneys on the one side,
while on the other part of the pic
ture there is romance, a lovable
old woman who only appears bad
in order that she may do good, and
through it all the chucklesome kind
of humor that audiences like.

MACNATE OFFERS
SUMMER CAPITAL
TO GOVERNMENT

NEW YORK, Aug. IS. U.P)-To
the perQuisites and privileges Of the
President of the United States now
may be added the right of exclu-
sive use to a 450-room summer
White House located in Florida.
oucn is the invitation extended
to President Hoover by Henry L.
Doherty, Florida Year Round
club president, and the governor
and people of Florida. Moreover the
invitation is to stand as a perma-
nent offer to the nations chief
executives.
No matter whom the President
of the United States may be, the
45O-room structure in Coral Gables
will remain at his command from
March IS to December 81 each year,
Doherty said. Completely fur
nished throughout, the entire build
ing awaits only a word from the
President who cares to claim it as
his own. The offer holds good as
long as the building, a hotel, re-
mains in Doherty's control.
Probably one of the most un-
usual offers ever made to any
president. the invitation includes
much more than exclusive right TO
free run of a building capable Of
housing nearly 800 guests. The
Doherty plan also places the full
facilities for fishing, golfing and
riding at the disposal Of the Presi-
dent.
1.-The idea of proposing Miami as
a summer capital will seem fan
tastic and incredible to uniformed
northerners, Doherty said, but
I know Florida is cooler in summer
than New York and the rest OF
the north and many Of my friends
know it. too. One of these days a
president is going to accept our
offer. I think President Hoover
would accept this summer except
for the terrific pressure Of work
work which is going to keep him
from establishing summer White
House any place"
The invitation was extended at
the White House a few days ago
when the President received Do
herty. officials of the Miami area,
and 100 Florida boys, members of
the boys drum and bugle corps Of
the Miami Junior Chamber Of Com
merce.

Trotzky Snubbed
By Soviet Film

MOSCOW, Aug. 13. U.H-An abb
bilious motion picture dealing with
the civil wars of 1922 is being
prepared here, in which the out
standing leader of those wars, Leon
Trotsky, will not appear at all.
An initial announcement of the
film declares that Soviet leaders
prominent in the fighting will be
characters in the action. 1t then
lists as examples Stalen, Lenin,
Kalinin, Molotov, Bubnov, Petrov-
lsky and others. Trotsky, who was
commander-in-ch of all the Red
forces at that time, is not men
toned.
The film will thus be in line with
the histories of that period taught
here. Trotsky's pre-eminent lead
ership is sighted, or not mentioned
at all.

HAS
GREAT AVERAGE
FOR II YEARS
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY
nited Press Staff Correspondent

IICSS StdiI
NEW YORK, Aug. 13. - Riggs
Stephenson, Chicago Cubs out
fielder, is one of the major leagues
greatest batsmen, but in bis nearly
II years in the big show he seldom
has basked in the limelight.
Stephenson never has won a
batting championship, but in IL
full seasons in the majors he never
has batted below 800. His 11-year
total, exclusive of the 1892 season,
is BAL. He is leading the Cubs in
batting this year, we'll above 300.
There are few players who can
boast a better lifetime average
than Stephenson. Chick Hafey, Gin
cinnati outfielder who won the Ma
tional league batting title last year,
has a lifetime mark of only 1926.
Babe Herman, who finished second
in individual batting in 1880, has a
Lifetime average of $40. Lloyd
Waner's lifetime mark is .341. Bill
Terry, 1880 batting champion, tops
Stephenson by only one point witt
a nine-year mark of .342.
Although Stephenson never has
been accorded the plaudits usually
accorded great hitters, he is one
of the few major leaguers who
never has been booed. Quiet and
unassuming, he tends strictly to his
ball playing and is one of the most
respected players in the league.
Cubs fans, who are very rabid and
are quick to turn on ball player
when he fails to deliver, never have
had occasion to give the Bronx
cheer" to Stephenson.
In a pinch, Stephenson is one of
the deadliest hitters in the majors
and prefers to come to bat with
men on base.
He came to the Cubs from In
dianapolis in 1926 after he had
previously played four years with
Cleveland. His batting marks with
the Cubs follow:
1926, 1888; 1927, .344; 1923, .324,
1929, 1862; 1880, 1867; 1881, .319.

CHICAGO, Aug. 13. W.H - Resi-
dents of Southdown, the district adj
joining the Chicago municipal air
port, doesn't worry about clocks any
more, for just as the villager sets
his watch every day by the 5:l5
train, the Chicagoans tell time by
the clock-like passage of the trans
port planes to and from the airport.
Twelve planes arrive and depart
daily at the Chicago airport on
United Air Lines Chicago Cleveland
New York service alone. The south
ern district newspaper compiled a
schedule of these planes to indicate
exactly when the air liners pass
over various parts of the district.
Chicagoans familiar with this
schedule can identify the correct
time by the planes flying overhead.
