anti-Hitler newspaper Of allega-
tions that 100 have been killed and
1000 arrested in Germany IN an
other June 80" purge brought the
campaign to a feverish pitch. The
nazi explanation to Saarlanders Of
what is happening in Germany Is
that 800 were arrested for immor-
ality. OF these. the nazis say. 200
hav ebeen released but a clique OF
100 was detained for intriguing"
This" says the anti-nazi press,
lis a frank admission OF a plot
against Hitler"
CThe anti-nazi charges were
vigorously denied in Berlin, which
said there have been no arrests for
sexual abnormalitieS in two weeks.
The accusations were characterized
as a political trick.)

claim they have won thousands OF
votes since the Hitler purge OF six
months ago. The latest purge,
their organ, the newspaper Volk-
stimme. said was directed against
the Schultz Staffel, or picked nazi
guards.
Max Bruan, blue-eyed socialist
who is editor OF the Volkstimme

Strategy to strike a bargain" on
the soldiers bonus, II the democrat
ic high command considers such a
move warranted when the $1,000
100000 issue comes to a head, was
studied tentatively Friday by some
administration leaders in congress.
They emphasized they had no
hint from the White House. Though
there Is much talk Of possible
compromises" the president has
made no statement Of his attitude
on them. But with sentiment
among returning members herald
ed as so strong for bonus payment,
these leaders, as one put IL. are hop
ing TO make the best bargain We
can"
A dozen or more methods OF pay
ing the bonus are expected 10 be
proposed in congress. They will
range from limited payments to
needy veterans all the way TO iSsu-
ing new currency TO pay all the
bonus certificates IN full imme-

discussed by men who cannot be
quoted at present. the committee
would sound out the president and
attempt to arrive at an agreement
on an amended middle of-the-road
bill.
Among the outstanding compro-
misses now being talked Of are two:
first. to pay only jobless or needy
veterans: second, TO change the
dates on the bonus.
This latter plan would date the
adjusted compensation certificates
1918 instead of 1925 and have them
mature in 1885 instead of l945. The

No money or self addressed stamped envelope is necessary in regards to this.
 Dear True Reflections: For the past week I have been reading your column and the thought came to me that you might help me with my problems and loneliness. I am not old-not even quite middle aged--and through life of disso- lution and errors--I have a small sum of money left from g. fortune, enough, maybe to see me through. Also the use of my right hand and < brain. I sit here day after day wondering what I can do to kill time. I have had visions of doing good in some way or other. Your column has opened up an avenue of thought. I do not want to be known-at least not yet-but may be there are those who might like to write me and hand out little cheer for bit of advice. If young men would listen-I could save them from many pitfalls. I would like to turn to God, but haven't the nerve to offer the little that is left of me. What do you think? Would others like to give me an idea-by writing to you and you forwarding the mail back to me? 1 would gladly pay for any expense att tached. There is no money in this perhaps you would not care to bother. but I'm going to try-you can't do more than turn me down. Yours in hope-Signed sc. A. l..
 Dear Fricnd:-After your life of errors and dissolution-and your present state of contrition-what more could you ask? It seems to me you are most favored. God has to take drastic measures sometimes to bring a. noble soul back to its own. You are ashamed to turn to him--now that you have so little to offer-why? My friend, be- tween us. I think your great work has just begun. Don't be ashamed to go back-you'll be received with open arms. That is the human and joyful part of His Plan."
