BERLIN, March 28.-(UP)-
Immediate Intervention by the
powers to prevent Lithuania from
executing four Mcneil Nazis on
charges of high treason was de-
manded last night by hundreds of
thousands of irate Germans in a
series of public mass demonstra.
tons from one end of the Reich
to the other.
Reichsfuehrer Adolf Hitler was
cheered in one demonstration out
side his chancellery by a mob of
frenzied men and women shout
ing: "Down with Lithuanian He

acknowledgement as he gazed down

More than 100000 persons dem

ten in the heart of Berlin, while
thousands sought to storm the
Lithuanian legation in the capital.
Steel-helmeted police reinforce

Speakers denounced Lithuanian
rule over Memel, an autonomous
territory on the Baltic formerly
belonging to Germany, and the
death sentences at a mass court
martial in Kovno yesterday
against Nazis charged with TO-
menting an armed uprising
against Lithuania.
The Lustgarten demonstration
was but one of a series through
out the Reich. At Koenigsberg, in
East Prussia, crowd of $4,000
held violent anti-Lithuanian
demonstration in the Schlageter-
hall, demanding Intervention. A
protest was sent to the guarantor
powers-France, Italy, Britain
and Japan-demanding protection
of the German minorities in the
Memel territory.
At Munich, the local Lithuan-
ian consul-general, Herr Oden-
dahl, a German citizen, resigned
in protest against the sentences.
He removed the Lithuanian inslg-
MIA from his residence.
Huge protest meetings were
held in Munich, Stuttgart, Frank
fort and Karlsruhe.

BERLIN FARLEY
news LEAKING
OUT: in LONDON
Parliament Tense, Nation
Anxiously Awaits
Statement
INTIMATE HITLER
is UNCOMPROMISING

LONDON, March 2S.-(UP)-
Reichsleader Adolf Hitler demand
ed the restoration of at least one
colony and the formal abolition of
the Versailles treaty's military
clauses, it was said here today on
semi-official authority. He also de-
manded that the league covenant
be separated from the treaty. This
is the price of Germany's return
to participation in the league.
Sir John Simon, back from his
conference with Hitler has visited
King George twice in is hours.
A tense parliament and an anx-
ious nation await a statement con-
corning the conference.
Sir John, who with Capt. An
thony Eden, Lord Privy Seal,
talked with Reichsfuehrer Adolf
Hitler on Monday and Tuesday ex-
ploring the possibilities of an &C.
cord to preserve peace, returned
via Amsterdam Wednesday. He
said the position at present was
far too delicate and inconclusive
to discuss with the press.
Sir John met with the cabinet
at 6:15 and reported fully on his
meetings with Hitler. He was be-
lieved to have told the cabinet the
conversation centered on:
/. Britain's urging Hitler return
to the League of Nations.
2. That the Reich enter an cas-
tern European security past with
Russia, including clauses guaran-
teeing armed mutual assistance
against an aggressor nation. To
this Hitler objected.
8. Possibility OF Germany en-
tering an aerial pact with the for
mer allied powers in western Eu-
rope.
4. Germany adhere to the vari-
Gus interlocking security pacts
proposed by the Franco-British
communique in London on Feb. 3,
the basis of the Berlin converse
tions.
He also was believed to have
discussed the Moscow mission OF
Captain Eden, who proceeded 10
the Soviet capital Tuesday, at the
end of the Berlin conference, and
expressed hopes for a realistic at
titude toward the Soviet Union by
the British government in the cur
rent crisis.
If the first reactions in govern
ment quarters may be regarded as
: gauge of MacDonald's state
ments to the king, the prime min
lister hardly struck a hopeful note.
Hitler's attitude was believed
far more uncompromising than the
British anticipated. 1t was feared
in London that German antagon-
ism to the eastern European Sc
curity treaty may remove one OF
the cornerstones of the projected
new security system.

CARLOAD OF BASS FOR PONDS
Shipment Arrived i'm Dover for Dis
tribution in State Ponds

Between 5O.OOO and 10000 fng-
erling bass and pike were received
by the State Game and Fish Com
mission at Dover on Wednesday
for distribution in ponds of the
State. The fish are furnished at
the request of the State commits
sion by the Bureau of Fisheries but
the commission must arrange for
their distribution. They will be
distributed in cans and containers
to the ponds and lakes of the State
not washed out by recent storms.
Mr.. Robinson had not received
definite word as to the number Of
ponds washed out by the storm.
Accompanied by Clarence S. Fost-
er, State chief game warden, Mr..
Robinson made a survey recently.
AS many Of the roads were impass-
able and most ponds could not be
reached, definite tabulation could
not be made. 1t is believed nine or
ten of the ponds were washed out.

game wardens are placing nets
across the mouths of Washouts to

SUN OIL COMPANY TALK
This Years Model Cars and Sun
oco Gasoline and Oil

While chatting about automo-
biles the other day, Mr.. R. Weir,
Jr., the Sun Oil Company's district
manager, called attention to the
fact that there has been but little
let-up in the demand for 1885 mod
els although next years styles are
soon to be introduced. Usually" !"
he explained, there is a sharp
tapering off in the demand for new
cars towards the close of the buy
ing season and this gives the fac
tory an opportunity to shut down
for an overhauling and revision
of machinery due to the changes
to be made in the forthcoming
models. This year, however, such
a shutdown has ben impossible in
many cases and the factories will
have to go directly from the 1885
models to those for next year This
is one thing that makes me glad
I'm connected with the motor fueI
industry. Here there is no such
thing as new styles in gasoline
each year, but rather a steady on
ward growth in qaulity. At least
that is the policy of the Sun Oil
Company and it is based upon the
axiom that we are always making
next years gasoline for this years
cars. In other words, new cars
are planned so far ahead that it is
always possible for us to predict
accurately what the motor fuel re-
quirements of the coming year
will be and then meet them with
Blue Sunoco months ahead of the
time the first cars appear on the
road"

phases of the new potato tax law
at meeting of farmers at the Oak

said his office is lacking in detail
ed information. At the office of the
State Board of Agriculture it was
stated few requests have been re-
ceived for information relative to

ceived no information about it that

NEW ORGAN AT
STATE HOSPITAL
Dedicated at Commencement
Exercises of Nurses
Training School
NEEDS ARE STRESSED

! A three-hour visit in one of the
over crowded wards of the Della
ware State Hospital, at Farnhurst,
would convince the State Legisla-
ture that adequate appropriations
should be made for the hospital,
Miss Mary Moran, president of the
Delaware State Nurses Associa-
ton, said Tuesday night of last
week in an address at the COM
mencement exercises of the school
of nursing at the State Hospital.
The commencement exercises were
held in conjunction with the dedi-
cation of an organ in memory of
DR.. William H Hancker, who for
"a years had been superintendent
of the State Hospital. He died two
years ago. About 300 persons at
tended the exercises at which four
nurses received diplomas. DR..
Seymour Dewitt Ludlum, psy-
chiatrist, of Gladwyne, Pa, ad-
dressing the graduates, stressed
that whereas a generation ago no
one thought of curing insanity,
now a number of cases out Of
every ten are durable. DR.. Ludlum
also emphasized the trend toward
more and more preventive work to
avoid mental breakdown or dis
ease. Tributes to both the late
DR.. Hancker, and to the Delaware
State Hospital School of Nursing,
graduating its fourth class, were
paid by DIR. NJ. A. Tarumianz, su-
perintendent of the hospital
Speaking of the Kilgen organ,
which was made possible by the
gift of $4,000, the entire estate of
the late Dr. Hancker, left espec-
tally for this purpose, Dr. Taru-
miami announced that it is hoped
to soon have installed an amplify-
ing system, which will permit the
organ to be heard in all wards in
all buildings of the hospital, many
of which are some distance apart.

Nurses of the class receiving di-
plomas from DR.. Tarumianz were.
Miss Ella Pyle, of Uhricksville

IL STATE PONDS
WASHED OUT
Game Warden Foster Figures
Property Loss Will Amount
to Over $4,000
FISH ARE MOSTLY SAVED

Dams in at least twelve mill
ponds which had been stocked with
fish at considerable expense by the
State Fish and Game Commission,
were either broken or washed
away by the recent rains, Chief
Deputy Game Warden Clarence S.
Foster, of Newark, has disclosed
following a survey. It is estimat-
ed by Mr.. Foster that expenditure
of about $1,000 will be necessary
to haul dirt to dame up several
large ponds in which the dam
breasts were destroyed and the
needed material and labor to make
repairs to others. Comparatively
few fish, Mr.. Foster said, were kill
ed. In nearly every instance, he
reports, fish from washed out
ponds were carried though swollen
small streams to larger streams
where they remained. Deputy
wardens are doing all possible to
rescue fish from pot holes" and
restore them to the mill ponds.
Fish IN the larger streams are be-
ing removed by nets, wherever pos
sible. Despite the fact that thous-
ands of the fish will be restored to
the ponds considerable restocking
also will be necessary. The State
Fish and Game Commission has
set out between fifty and sixty
thousand bass and pike fingerlings
IN ponds of the State at a cost of
more than $1,000. Luckily for
the commission. he said, "the fin
gerlings did not arrive here in
time to be placed in the ponds be-
fore the storm struck" Of the
dozen ponds damaged, Mr.. Foster
said, his survey showed that the
water in four had been washed out,
leaving the bottoms dry These,
he said, are Killen's Pond south
east of FELTON, in the lower part of
Kent county; Hearn's Pond near
Seaford; Concord Pond, below
and Collins Pond
southeast of Bridgeville. In the
case Of Killen's pond he said the
water and fish were carried into
Corsey's Pond, where the dam
held fairly well. He said there is
sufficient water in the latter to
keep the fish alive until the dam
can be repaired. The Highway De
partment he said is expected to as
sist by repairing the roadway at
that point which holds back the
waters. At Mud Mills Pond, west
of Dover, he said the dam was
broken but it is believed sufficient
water remains in the pond for the
fish to live until it can fill up. The
same situation applies at NAPLES
Pond near Milton he said. Silver
Lake near Rehoboth was washed
out but due to the brackish condi-
ton of the water this was not con
sidered much loss from a fishing
The dam of Andrews
Pond and the McGinnes pond, near
FELTON,. and Voshells pond near
in Kent county were
broken but it is believed there is
sufficient water left to preserve all /

SERIOUS ACCIDENT OF
WILLIAM MOFFITT

4 William Moffitt, the manager at
the phosphate factory yesterday of
Alex. G.. Cummins met with ser
ious accident that came near caus-
I ing the loss of his arm. He had
his hand in the crusher removing
some impediments which seems not
to have been known 10 the engin-
eer, who started up the machinery,
the rollers catching his fingers
drawing in his hand and arm near
ly up to the elbow, which was of
sufficient resisting force to slow
up the engine, the engineer by this
time discovering his awful situa-
ton and shutting off the steam.
The next thing was to extricate
him: to turn the machinery and
arm back, if they could would
have been the same process over
as getting in, so they had to get
the tools and unscreW and lift the
heavy rollers which requires some
fifteen minutes, the man having to
stand and endure the torture all
the time. DR.. Clifton was sum-
moned to dress the wound, and
while he found the flesh terribly
confused and lacerated, the bones
seemed to be intact. It seemed
hardly possible that The bones
could have resisted such a pres
sure without breaking.
