TO REBEKAH HEALD the Mich

walks so casually, safe beneath its
towering skyscrapers. was the grim
highway to the bitterest tragedy In
the history of Chicago, the Fort
Dearborn massacre.
Just how much she suspected the
fate impending when she rode out
OF the wooden stockade that bright
August morning in 1912, as the bride
of Maj. Nathan Heald, commander
of the fort, we do not know. The
war of 1912 was on, the British had
taken Mackinac. and General Hull
had sent from Detroit orders to
evacuate the fort and remove to
Fort Wayne. II was O dangerous
journey, at best. but the Pottawato-
mics had promised safe conduct.
Half mile ahead rode Capt. vii
liam Wells. with part of the thirty
friendly Miamis. Beside her was her
husband. and behind them the reg
ular garrison OF the fort. ffty-fve
men In all. twelve Chicago militia
nine women and twelve children
About them roamed their red es-
cOrt. almost six hundred strong.
About a mile and a half from the
fort the Indians disappeared behind
a low dune, and Captain Wells, gal
Looping back, warned them of am
bush. Followed a futile charge up
the dune, complete rout, and the
fearful carnage In which over half
| the little company. including two
women and six children. were
massacred. Rebekah, separated from
her husband. even after the gallant
Wells had been killed before her
eyes. stuck TO her horse. Defense

undoubtedly saved her life. she sat.
while the Indians. desirous of dis.
mounting her and gaining the fine
animal for themselves, struck at her,
wounding her six times. Finally

and led her away. One of the group

|DE[UGE Of FUNDS
SEEN FROM ABROAD
Wall Street Expects Huge
Sums to Return With Sta.
biIization of Dollar.

| BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. September 26.-A del
uge of funds from abroad is expected
by Wall Street international bankers
as soon as stabilization of the dollar
seems assured.
While bankers are inclined to shy
at definite estimates as to how much
American capital has gone abroad
since depreciation of the. dollar was
first feared. the amount Of funds
waiting to come home is generally be-
| lieved to be huge.
Some bankers regard recent esti-
mates of $500, 100000 as the amount
of capital which has taken wing since
March to be excessive, but 1t is known
that apprehension over the gold dollar
began to push money out Of the coun-
try several months before March, even
as much as year ago.
Let Receipts Pile Up.
But it is not only money which has
flown, that is waiting to come back.
Exporters and business concerns hav-
| ing receipts abroad have been letting
| them pile up there, rather than con-
verting them into uncertain dollars, so
there Is huge amount Of money on
deposit in foreign banks that would
normally have been transferred into
dollars some time ago.
Despite the imposition of foreign
exchange control to prevent q fight
| from the dollar as far back as last
March, bankers say it has been COM
paratiyely easy to get money out OF
| !, q. OF re
are concerned. One said the almost
invariable response at the Federal Re-
serve when permission to buy foreign
currencies was requested by telephone
was "oke."
Sterling Has Been Favored.
The control must be informed what
| foreign currencies are wanted for, and
has not objected to permitting capital
exports for purchases Of foreign Sc
curities, within reason. A favorite ex-
cuse for demands for foreign exchange
have been "diversification Of invest
ments."
A few months ago there was con-
siderable movement of funds from
dollars into the gold standard coun-
tries, but since the position of the
gold currencies have been regarded
as less secure, sterling has been ia
vored. Many hoarders have bought
gold In London and stored it in safe de-
posit boxes there. Recently one bank
| received a request from hyper-cau-
tious client to purchase gold in Bonn
bay and leave in storage there for the
client, who felt that it was even safer
in India than in London, on the theory
that there would always be free mar
ket there, regardless Of what happened
in England.

along with economic disarmament there
is military disarmament.
DR.. Schacht is reported to have been
in favor of this sentence as express
ing In full the German point OF view.
But the solution Of the disarmament
question is not the same in Germany as
it is in other countries. The German
government considers the only adequate
way to end successfully the Geneva con-
ference is that the other nations should
begin at once to do away with offensive
weapons and since this does not seem
practicable at present, Germany should
be allowed to have at least a few OF
them. When the time comes and all
the offensive weapons are destroyed.
Germany will be glad to do the tame
thing.
Thesis Unacceptable.
1t was explained to DR. Schacht that
this thesis cannot be acceptable 20 The
United States more than it is to the
other nations that disarmament must
be progressive, and that in regard with
the disbandment of the German pro-
fessional army. the United States takes
the same stand as it takes in regard to
abolshing of offensive weapons.
The purpose of the American Gov
ernment is to induce the natiorS par
ticipating in the Limitation OF Arms
Conference TO pledge themselves to re-
duce arnlaments. America wants them
all TO sign on the dotted line this pledge.
Then, the process OF actual reduction
of armaments will have to be gradual
and Germany will not have TO disband
the Reichswehr any earlier than the
French, and the Poles will have to junk
their tanks and heavy guns The Amer
ican pledge for consultation would
work in Germany's favor as much as it
works in favor of any other nation.
These arguments have been duly re-
ported by DR.. Schacht to his govern
ment. but it is felt here that it will be
difficult to convince Hitler of the
soundness Of the American point Of
view
