Reichstag in the Kroll opera hoJfse as the high point of day of quiet but joyous celebration throughout Germany.
 Standing before the symbolic background of a huge swastika hanging back of the speakers dais. Hitler was Unanimously applauded by the brown-shirted audience when he attacked the Versailles treaty as having restroyed Ger many's independence.
 Referring to the foreign policy of previous regimes, he said:
 "The fundamental error was to trust In Woodrow Wilson's prom ises, but the nation trusted, because 1t was unshakeably convinced it (Germany) was not guilty of the war-a fact which it's extorted sig nature to the war guilt confession does not alter in the least"
 Had not hate triumphed over reason" Hitler continued, "the frightful experience of the World war would have furnished the most useful lesson. Versailles destroyed this hope. No real peace could originate from its insane economic stipulations."
 Millions" he declared, t"began to hate the system which made possible i n discrimination against powerful nation which only had the misfortune to be beaten"
 He insisted that the Nazi race principles are not an undervalua- ticn of other races but merely im- piled loyalty to one's own race and respect for others"
 This idea Is better foundation for world peace than distinction between victors and vanquished on the basis of phsical force."
 Referring to religious matters, which have been in highly dis turbed state, Hitler said:
 "We removed political organiza- ton from tho churches but strengthened the churches them- selves. We respect religion but urge religious bodies to give more respect to the state."
 He added that participation in political life weakens the religious substance of the church, and hoped the centralization of the Protestant

NEGRO IS KINDRED
 BY NRA SYSTEM
This Is What Frank Cflis- holm Told Rotary
 Club To-day

s'Under the MIRA, the negro has been hindered, rather than helped" members of the Rotary club at the Elton, were told this afternoon by Frank Chisholm, field secretary of the Tuskegee Institute, who has made a tour of the south and east to determine the actual plight of the negro in regard to employ ment. Because of the social in- feriority with which negroes are regarded by whites in the south, a 'vicious, method of discrimina- ton has arisen ifi regard to em- ployment by which white people are doing the work formerly done by negroes because of the fact that employers refusd to mploy the black man at the same wagp rate and working conditions as the MIRA calls for, therefore, the ne- groes have been discharged and whites hired for their work, un- der the code wage scale applying to various industries. "Mr Chis- holm told his hearers, in explain ing why the MIRA, which was at first hailed with delight by the negro worker, is of no benefit to him, and, in fact, has put him out of work.
 Some southern cities have re- fused the 30 per cent aid from the public works administration, be- cause negro workers would have to De paid the same wages as the white men, if such aid were accept ed. "In other words" said the speaker, they are biting off their noses to spite their faces" Even in the east, negro workers are paid a dollar or two less a week than the white workers, for which the former does not complain because he would rather work for less money than the white man than lose his work entirely. However, Tuskegee Institute hopes for better results from an investigation of these conditions now going on in the south, in which all eases of discrimination are to be reported to government authority.

ROYAL SECRETS
 ARE NOW SAFE

BELGRADE, Sept. 15.-A monu- ment has been proposed here to the most honest and discreet man in the world"-Peter Spastich, head porter for 30 years at the largest hotel in Belgrade.
 He was credited with knowing more secrets and saying less about them than any other man in the Balkans.
 Kings, queens, dukes, princes, ladies-in-waiting ministers, diplo- mats, business men and spies made him their confidant. He could have made a fortune as a spy on his ,wn account, but he kept his lips sealed and was rewarded with handsome tips.
 When he died recently many highly-placed officials sent flow CTS and condolences to his fam fly. His friends opened subscrip- ion list for a monument to his memory.

DOUGLAS NEVIS
TENANTS INCREASE
 PROPERTY VALUATIONS

The present rush of tenants for homes in. Douglas brought about by the work on the new road, which has added new residents during the past week or two, has. made it pos sible in several cases for, cottages to pay with their occupancy for needed repairs to make them de- sirable habitations and thus more valuable to their owners.
 At the same time the renters with only thirty hours per week of their time put in on the road work are able to profit to some extent on their idle hours.
 Robert Hall, who drives one of the cats on the road. with his wife, has taken the Shudshift cot tage at the summit of E street. Frank Ruzich is located in the Grant cottage; Alex Adolf is in the McWilliams cottage, corner of Sec ond and Bradley streets; A. Pearce las moved into the Bacchia house on Second street.
 A few houses are still available for similar thrifty tenants, it is reported.

Americans Who Nude Good AbrOad
 4-Harvard Man Runs 465-Acre Farm Appan Way
This is the fourth in a series of seven articles.
 By ANDRUE BIRDING

ROME, Sept. 15.-In the Roman Campagna, nine miles from the Eternal City and half way to AL bano along the old Applian Way, lies a farm of 465 acres half-owned and operated by an American, John O. Crane, son of Charles R. Crane of Chicago and New York, former American minister to China.
 Graduated from Harvard in the early '20's, Crane worked in the office of President Masaryk of Czechoslovakia and later directed an agency for American automobiles in Czecho5lovakia
 For the past five years Crane has put money, time and effort into the farm, making it one of the most efficiently operated agricul- tural outfits in the neighborhood of Rome.
 Father -in-Law Is Partner
 His partner is his father-in-law, Signor Martini Marescotti. whose family has possessed the farm for centuries.
 The farm is called Tor Ii Mezza Via, or Half Way Tower. The popes used to stop here enroute to the papal summer villa at Castle Gan dolfo. The centuries-old farmhouse still stands.
 At the western end of the prep erty runs the Appian Way, with it's original colossal stone blocks over which Roman legions trod. Across the farm spread the tall arches of a 2,000-year-old aqueduct which carried water to the private villa of the Quintili, richest family of imperial Rome. Remains of this villa, outlining a structure 110 yards square, can still be traced nearby.
 Find Valuable Sculptures
 Occasionally one of Cranes blows turn up a priceless statue or bust which must be handed over to state authorities. Several years ago a valuable double-headed bust com bining the poet Menander and the sculptor's favorite god was found.
 Crane and his wife live in Rome and drive out to the Half Way Tower where Mrs. Cranes parents live. The American, tall and brOnz- ed by the Italian sun, is enthusi- astic about farming. Each summer he returns to the United States
