Raleigh, Aug. 3.-The 1887 General
Assembly will probably devote con
siderable attention to the subject
taught in the curricula of the public
schools as we'll as to the financial sup
port of the schools, according to rum
blings already being heard from over
the State. The greater part of the
time of every General Assembly is
now spent in Seeking new revenue
with which to provide the appropria-
tions for the financial support of the
schools, which now amounts to more

indicate that the school forces will

Dinners for the guests were given

A great military review at Nancy

Death of George H. Dern,
Secretary of War

Secretary of War
CECRETARY OF WAR GEORGE
- H. DERN died in Walter Reed
hospital, Washington, of heart dis
ease and other complications re-
sulting from influenza. He had been
ill since last spring but part of the
time had insisted on attending to
his official duties, keeping this up
even from his sick bed. Mr.. Dern,
who was sixty-four years old, was
formerly brilliant mining engineer
and was the second non-Mormon to
be elected governor of Utah, serv-
ing two terms.
Funeral services for Mr.. Dern
were held in Washington, with many
high federal and army officials and
private citizens in attendance. The
body was then taken to Salt Lake
City on special train aboard which
were Mrs. Dern, her three sons and
two daughters, and a cabinet dele
cation, including Secretary of Com
merce Roper, Acting Secretary of
War Woodring, Attorney General
Cummings, Acting Secretary of Ma
wy Standley and Acting Secretary
of Labor McGrady. Gen. Malin
Craig, army chief of staff, headed a
delegation of the army high COM
mand. At Salt Lake City final rites
were held in the great Mormon tab
ernacle with President Roosevelt at
tending.

Stain Warns Red Army
That War Is Near

D EICHSFUEHRER HITLER has
IN injected little more ginger
Tito the international armament
race by suddenly announcing that
the terms for compulsory military
service for Germans was doubled
two years instead of one. AS mat
tiers are just now in Europe, this
appeared to be aimed directly
against soviet Russia, and if the
London newspapers are to be be-
lieved, Dictator Stain recognizes
this and reacts as might be expect
ed. The London Evening News
and Daily Mail both assert that
Stain, in secret radio address to
the red army, said:
Comrades of the red forces: We
are on the very eve of momentous
events. At any moment now you
may be called upon to lay down
your lives for the defense of the
proletarian birthland.
s'This is the moment you have
been anticipating, and now your
birthland is expecting you to do
the duty you have so eagerly await
ed.
81 have no doubts about you, and
I am convinced you have no doubts
about us, your leaders.
"Our enemies are getting into po-
sition. So be ready. The enemies
are on the frontiers of our great
land. Keep watch.
Everything money could buy,
everything the genius of man could
invent and everything the loving
labor of the workers could make
have been given into your hands for
the defense and glory of the Soviet
land"

''While I am very loath to have
you discontinue the very fine serv-
ices you have been rendering as
United States minister to Denmark,
I appreciate your reasons for want
ing to resign and the motives that
prompt you. I therefore reluctant

Mrs. Rohde, daughter of William
Jennings Bryan, has had a long
career of public service. Before
entering the diplomatic service she
served in the Seventy-frst and Sew
enty-second congresses, 1929 to 1888,
from Florida. Captain Rohde, to
whom she was married in July last,
is her third husband. She divorced
her first husband, William Homer
Leavitt. She entered politics after
the death of her second husband,
Maj. Reginald Owen of the British
Royal Engineers.

Food Supply Near Normal,
Saws Federal RIlreau


A CCORDING to estimates OF the
"A federal bureau of agricultural
economics, the food supply of the
United States for the year ending
June 81, 1887, will be only 3 per
cent below that of 1885, and
per cent less than in 1934-'35. The
reason is that the exports of food
products probably will be less than
during the last fiscal year.
The drouth has been unusually
severe on feed crops, spring wheat,
potatoes, and vegetables for cam
ming. The short feed supply is ex-
pected to result in considerable liq-
uidation of live stock during the
first half of the marketing year, and
these increased marketings, togeth-
er with the larger spring pig crop
of 1886, are expected to maintain
meat production slightly above the
level of 1885. Supplies of poul-
try and eggs are expected to be
larger, but dairy products will be
less than last year, as will be fresh
and dried fruits.

Mussolini Takes Part in
European War Dance

TT WAS Benito Mussolini's turn
to 60 into the European version
Of the Indian war dance, following
Hitler and Stain, and he gave a
great performance. At Avellino,
center of the Italian army maneu-
vers, II Duce announced to cheer
ing throng that he could mobilize
100000 soldiers Sin the course of
a few hours and after a simple
order" The premier declared the
world is in the throes of an irresisti-
BILE re-armament race and Italy
must reject the idea of eternal
peace, which he said is foreign to
our creed and to our Temperament"
He asserted that the armed forces
of Italy are more efficient than ever
as consequence of the Ethiopian
war and that the $4,000 men en-
gagged in the maneuvers are but a
modest and almost insignificant part
of the country's actual war strength.
eve must be strong" cried Mus
solini. "We must be always strong
er! We must be so strong that we
can face any eventualities and look
directly in the eye whatever may
befall!"
Germany's new. army of a mil
lion men, created by Hitler's order
doubling the term of compulso-
ry military training, is to be fl
nanced by increased taxes on all
companies and corporations by Is
per cent for 1886 and by so per
cent for 1887. This increase brings
the corporations tax up to a mini
mum of Is and 80 per cent on new
profits.
A government communique care
fully explained that corporations
which have enjoyed heavy earnings
due to government orders frequent
ly pay "only tax of 20 per cent on
reserves they accumulate while pri-
vate business men pay up to SO per
cent"
Germany is rapidly increasing

two rounds and 1.02 later, he was
grinning.
That, of course, may have been
because he was getting his first
glimpse of Leon Kettchel, the hui
man beanpole who some day may
be stood up to be bOwled over in the
same alley and under the same
benevolent auspices as last night.
1t also might have been because a
youngster, whose best ballyhOOers
had been doing masterpieces about
his 'sheIlshocked" reactions, was
at last coming to realize that in
stead Of going into battle he was
facing pink tea.
Anyhow it hardly matters. Keep
ing his right up high, as he did
not against the fairly young and
fairly agile Schmeling, Louis start
ed slowly. Perhaps punch into
those whiskers he has never yet had
time to grow might have caused
him some inconvenience and slowed
him up even more. But, even though
the leaden-footed, half-bald Sharkey
made some motions, which indicat-
ed that Joe still has bit to learn
before being better than even mon
ey against such two-legged gents
as Ettore, Pastor and John Henry
Lewis, nothing much happened.
Sharkey went through the first
round as if surprised that the bad
news was so long delayed. So, he
paved his bemused way into the
second round, scarcely landing a
blow. He went down from right
to the jaw, got up and went down
again shortly thereafter from a
right, left and feeling of futility.
In the third round he again was
bowIed over twice, once Sprawling
over the lower strand of ropes.
After this he got up. He was not
as badly beaten as was Louis in
the Schmeling fight and it is prob
able that he expected to go on. But
Referee Donovan had already
counted ten. So that was that. The
battle of "What Does 1t Proven"
was over and, even though the radio
and movie concessionaires may
squawk to the high heavens, there
will be no rematch. Sharkey now
can 60 back to Boston and impa-
tient customers who have been
screaming can get some service
again.

President Roosevelt's Trip

committee on the drouth, headed
by Morris l.. Cooke, reported to
him on its inspection of the afflicted

the effects of the long dry spell. He
conferred with Acting Governor
Wexford and Senators Nye and Fra
zier of North Dakota and Acting
Governor Holt and Senators Wheel
Ter and Murray of Montana. Next
day Mr.. Roosevelt's train carried
him down to Pierre, S. D., and
thence into other drouth stricken
states.
Mr.. Roosevelt's original schedule
was changed to permit him to make
a quick run to Salt Lake City for
the burial services of Secretary of

American Bar Association
Against Court Limitation

p ESOLUTIONS adopted by the
IN American Bar association at its
meeting in Boston declare firmly
arainst any attempt to limit the
power of federal courts to pass on
the constitutionality of laws. The
association avoided what had been
expected to be a lively debate by
taking noncommittal attitude on
the report of another committee
which denounced in great part the
alleged invasion of the rights of citi-
zens by the New Deal. This report,
to which there was minority re-
port appended, was received and
filed by the assembly, but not ac-
cepted, and the committee which
filed it was discharged from further
duty.
Frederick H. Stinchield of Mime
apolis was unanimously elected
president of the association for the
coming year.
