King Alexander of Jugoslavia. land
ing at Marseilles, beginning of good
will" tour of France, was killed by an
assassin, and Louis Barthou, foreign
minister Of France, who had gone to
Marseilles to meet the king, was shot
down at the same moment and died
later from loss Of blood. Their car
was "spattered with bullets" Louis
Barthou, seventy-two years old, one OF
the ablest of French statesmen, had
looked forward to the visit of the Jugo-
slavian king as the beginning of an era
Of peace in Europe.
As a result Of the kings assassina-
tion on foreign soil it might have been
feared that another war would be pre-
cipitated. The great war started with
the murder Of the Austrian archduke.
Vienna published rumors that the
Jugoslavian government had ordered
mobilization Of It's army on the Italian
and Hungarian frontiers.
1t happens, however, that the MUIR
derer in this case is a certain Petrus
Kaleman, thirty-6ve-year-old Jugoslav,
one of King Alexander's own subjects,
so that no international complication
is suggested.
Kaleman, captured after firing the
shots which killed Barthou and Alex
ander, attempted suicide by shooting
himself in the mouth, but was cut
down by police sabers and died from
the deep gashes inflicted and from po-
lice bullet wounds.
John D. Rockefeller. not delaying
this year, has started for Florida &C.
companied by his son, John D., Jr.
There is longer life In sunshine. Some
day swift air transportation will make
1t possible for millions of old men and
women and young children that now
fight cold and colds in the northern
winter to spend that winter somewhere
in the United States sun parlor, that
stretches from Florida on the east,
west along the gulf coast, and north
along the Pacific ocean.
Los Angeles reports Industrious
"reds" trying to corrupt sailors Of the
United States navy. One plan seeks
out young, attractive university girls
that have not been elected to sororities.
They take advantage Of their hurt
state Of feelings to make Communists
of them and send them to make Com
munists Of sailors. Propaganda work
is also done in high schools by Com
munists. One newspaper urges negro
students to rise and demand colored
teachers in the high schools"
Special attention is paid to young
college graduates lacking jobs that
have enlisted in the navy. Their feel
ings also were hurt and they are ex-
pected to respond to the song, arise,
Ye Prisoners of Starvation" although
men in the navy are well fed.
Mussolini, talking with "amplifers'
to 100000 Italians in the Cathedral
Square Of Milan, remarked, Relations
between Italy and France are notably
improved" and winked as he said 1t.
The huge italian crowd roared with
laughter.
Mussolini says the corpse of dis
armament can never be resurrected.

will continue arming against each other
more and more extravagantly.
Money changes its so-called value"
and those supposed to control it do not
always realize how it Is changing.
We rejoice over increased govern
ment receipts, forgetting that the gov
eminent Is now taking in so or 60 cent
dollars. In England the pound ster-
ling, normally worth more than 124
francs, sells for IA francs, a drop of 40

above 142 shillings an ounce, or at a
premium of SO per cent.
Trouble continues in Spain, with
troops guarding the parliament and
iDconceivably savage outrages reported
in the war against religion. A priest
and two civil guards are said to have
been burned alive and a Catholic or
phanage dynamited in an outburst of
terrorism and religious hatred in north.

truck was blown up.
Urged on by the belief that Upton
Sinclair will be elected governor of
California and proceed to give every
old man pension of $50 month for
the rest Of his life, many $50 and S25
secondhand automobiles, fully loaded,
are said to be on the way to California.
One well-informed says: Everybody
that can raise $25 or $50, and buy a
car that will run, Is bound for Cali.
