Violence in Saar Plebiscite
Feared as. Challenge to War

Preparations for the plebiscite to
determine future control of the Saar
Basin are believed in this country to
have the germs Of conflict. A League
Of Nations report indicates that Chan
cellor Hitler is introducing military
elements into the campaign.
The plebiscite Is to determine
whether thiserich region is to become
French or German or remain under
control Of the League. 1t is felt that
while residents of the region NAV
prefer to accept German Jurisdiction
they are not favorably inclined to-
ward Hitler rule.
The inhabitants Of the Saar region" I"
says the Charleston wv. Va) Daily
Mail, ARE largely Germans or of
German origin. 1t would be natural
for their sympathies, under normal
conditions, to cause them to wish to
go under German sovereignty. But
Will they now want to become the
slaves OF q dictatorial government
under which individual liberty vir-
tually has disappeared? - For
the Saar to reject its chance to be-
come part Of Germany would be a
severe blow to Hitler's prestige. It
might serve even to feed the fires of
the opposition in Germany proper
ana eventually prove a factor in the
downfall of the present dictator"
Referring to DR.. Hjalmer Schacht's
demand for complete moratorium ON
Germanys foreign debts for several
years, the Macon (Ga) Telegraph
comments: There is no escape from
the logic that If Germany is too poor
70 pay her foreign debts for wears IN
come she Is too poor to spend 1900
100000 for the purchase of the Saar
mines and too poor to be spending
sl2o 100000 in the construction of
strategic highways to her frontier"
Inc Salt Lake Desert News is con-
vlnced that Germany will be gIad
70 raise the money, poor as she is
Wnlle the Baton Rouge State Times
observes the development of a feel
ing on the part Of MANY there that
perhaps 1t would not be advantageous
70 reloln Germany at this time, that
a continuance under the present status
would be preferable"
1t is recalled by the Nashville Pan
ner that the League of Nations Gov
erning Commission in the Saar re-
ported that $4,000 German residents
OF the territory are receiving military
training In Germany, in preparation
Tor the plebiscite," and the Banner
concludes; "The military training of
the German youth in the Saar is be-
Ing camouhaged, just as 1t is in Ger
many, under claim that they are en-
gaging in defense sports The Nazi
agents In the Saar are banded In
what they call the Voluntary Labor
Service and any member who is guilty
OF the slightest infraction of the rules,
In other words, who manifests any
reluctance in carrying out the Nazi
program. is deported to Germany"
Charges that "the Nazis are pre-
pairing q putsch in the Saar region"
are said by the Miami Herald ito be
believed in certain quarters of Eu-
rope" and the Tulsa, Okla, World

The Clock.

II you turn to work or turn to play,
The clock keeps spinning along:
Your step may weaken from day to
day,
But its pace keeps brisk and strong.
Grinding, tirelessly grinding still,
1t goes right on, like a mighty mill
Wrought by some cunning masters
skill,
Forever spinning along.
The years are ground into weeks and
days,
AS the clock goes spinning along,
And the days into hours, as we lightly
And murmur a careless song.
And the hours that we fondly seek to
stay
Are turned into moments so slight
that they
Are tossed, at a breath, with our hopes
away.
AS the clock goes spinning along.

states: ut Is evident the plot to put
the Saar under the Nazi blight is very
deep and that violence may be used.
If there is violence as well as CHI
canery and bribery, what will the
European nations do about it? France
has friends and France and the Saar
people are intended victims of the
new Na1 raid. Germany is desper-
ate and will do desperate things.
The Saar can easily be the pretext for
war"
IF Berlin loses. will Hitler be held
responsible?" asks the Louisville
Herald-Post, with the statement:
Gold and logical on occasion, the
French are at their best when it's a
question of getting down to facts.
Their answer to Hitler's hysteria is
flrst, the common sense comment that
German money isn't as good as
French money. Next, envisaging the
possibility of German victory at the
polls. France points out that she will
not relinquish her holdings, nor coun-
tenance the transfer of the holdings
OF her citizens, unless for value re-
ceived. And she reserves the right to
pass on that value. German marks
just simply won't do"
With recognition Of "a feeling that
the Saar now enjoys economic ad-
vantages it would sacrifice IL it re.
turned to the German fold" the Long
Beach, Calf, Press-Telegram says:
"Hitler's recent impassioned plea to
an audience of 100000 at Coblenz for
an understanding between Germany
and France regarding the Saar and
other matters was psychologically in
teresting. He exhorted the French to
cooperate with him in laying the
groundwork for lasting peace be-
tween these two great nations The
cooperation meant by him was
French abandonment of claims to the
Saar. The strange ignoring Of other
peoples viewpoints exemplified by
that appeal is characteristic of the
man and of his party. They insist
that there is only one side to any
question in which they are interested"

Reunion in Vienna.

After sixteen years of exile, the
ambitions of former Empress zita.
widow of Emperor Charles I of Au-
stria, who reigned briefly from 1916
to 1918, are about to be gratifled. She
is to be permitted to re-enter the land
of the Hapsburgs with her eldest son,
Archduke Otto. pretender to the
thrones of Austria and Hungary, and
reside there, along with the rest OF
the children, as private citizens Of
the republic. The new government at
Vienna, headed by Chancellor Schu-
schnigg, an avowed monarchist, has
apparently acquieSced in the home
coming of the imperial exiles, Sched-
uled for some time before Christmas.
The event is hailed throughout Eu-
rope as the forerunner of the restora-
ton of the throne. Preceding these
developments was the recent an
nouncement of Archduke Otto's en-
gagement to Princess Maria Of Italy.
Manifestly these various moves on
the Central European chessboard are
being taken with the cognizance and
consent of the powers. The Haps-
burgs having been banished at the
end of the World War, their return
is only possible with the approval Of
the nations and governments which
dictated the peace of Versailles and
st. Germain. Apart from the purely
romantic aspect Of the Hapsburg
reunion in Vienna-the rewarded pa
tience of a devoted and aspiring
mother, the attractive picture Of q
young and handsome princeling re-
covering the ancient throne of his
ancestors-the political implications
of this latest turn Of the European
whirligig are of primary interest.
Zita and Otto have Hitler and the
Nazis to thank for the impending
realization of their dreams-if realiza
ton there is to be.
National Socialist Germany's ambi-
tions to incorporate Austria within
a glorified Teutonic Reich have made
the continental peoples who fear such
expansion of Naz power feel that the
most effective way of preventing it is
to reconvert Austria into Hapsburg
realm. Arcnduke Otto is said to be
under pledge to refrain from restora-
ton activities until the powers ap-
prove them. His return to native
heath, under all the circumstances, is
an unmistakable sign that no OBJ
stacle to the naturalization of Haps-
burg hopes is in sight. In exchange
for a pledge Of non-interference by
Otto, an arrangement has been made
for partial return to him of the old
Hapsburg private properties. The
Little Entente States are less enthu-
siastic than the larger powers over q
Hapsburg rehabilitation. They warn
that they will hold the Vienna gov
ernment responsible for future
events" BY that, presumably, they
mean that they would view with alarm
any move to retrieve for a restored
Hapsburg crown domains and author
ity wrested from it by the war and
now lodged in the succession states.

The matter of multiple feedings
for home aquarium fishes may need
some explanation.
Most of the directions on the boxes
of prepared foods say to feed once a
day not more than the fishes will eat
in 10 or Is minutes.
It is a common feeling with aouar-
lists, however, that a number of meals
per day are better than one.
The longer the enthusiast watches
his finny charges, the Surer he be-
comes, although he may have no
precise proof, that two or more meals
are better than just one meal.
The danger lies, of course, in over
feeding, with the resultant harm to
the inmates, and probable pollution
Of the water in which they live.
These dangers are not theoretical;
they are so imminent. indeed, that
warning is always given against them
and this Is the practical basis fol
the usual advice to newcomers, tC
beware of overfeeding. resulting in the
"one meal per day" dictum.
This single meal, if put into effect,
becomes "one big meal"
The fishes are glutted for the time
being.
Practically all the dried foods,
which must form the basis for every
day feeding, are highly concentrated
This means that the feeder is
bound to feed more than he thinks
he is feeding.
This is bad, from a mental view
point, and also bad for the fishes,
for it may lead to their overfeeding,
even when the dispenser of foodstuffs
realizes the danger and thinks he
is very careful.
The usual trouble comes in putting
all the food into the aquarium at
once.
"All they will eat" in 10 minutes
may be a sizable amount of food
depending upon the health of the
fishes. the amount of free oxygen in
their water, the condition Of the
water itself and other factors, among
which is the type Of fish.
Fishes with good appetites, such
as the popular Rosy Barb and the
three-spot Gourami, naturally eat
more than sedate feeders. Above all,
they eat it faster.
Such dashing feeders tend to
knock down more bits from the sur
face OF the water, and these (unless
consumed afterward by bottom
feeders, among which the Barbs must
also be reckoned) will contaminate
the water If too many are left.
Possible pollution by uneaten food
is the constant menace to the aqua--
ium beautiful
There are many stumbling blocks
to the successful aquarium, but none
is more perpetual than this whether
live or dry food is used, or a COM
bination Of these in variety.
The ideal is to. feed just wha. the
fishes will eat. and no more, but
naturally this ideal is difficult OF at
tainment, and especially when the
chef is in a hurry.
The daily use Of diptube or
siphon, as advocated by some au-
thorities, is merely a way of COM
pensating for careless or ignorant
feeding. 1t constantly disturbs the
fishes, and is unnecessary as a ,iaily
procedure if proper feeding is worked
out by observation wisely applied.
The trouble with throwing into the
tank all the food the inmates will
eat within 10 or IS minutes once
a day Is that too much is on the
water at one time. Too much is
knocked down. And if the owner Is
willing to concede intelligence to his
finny friends he is quite sure, in his
own mind, that they prefer their food

THE SECRET OF STEADY EN-
PLOYMENT. BY F. Greedy. New
York: G. P. Putnams Sons.
Rewritten and abbreviated from the
authors longer work, Human Nature
in Business" this small volume has
for its purpose the explanation of
the apparent breakdown In the capi-
talistic system as it has previously
been operated and the suggestion of
methods for setting 1t straight. It is
one of many books on the subject
during the past few years. Existing
conditions have tempted to the writing
OF such books.
The author is a consulting engi-
neer who has had much practical ex-
perience in modern industry. His
conclusion is that the secret of steady
employment lies in maintaining a
steady state of business confidence
and this depends Cd on substituting
exact knowledge for guesswork so that
the business man can forecast what
lies ahead reasonably well; CD on
convincing him that he has the sup
port of the whole Nation, and the ma
tonal credit behind him In dificult
