the Colonials' ability. The Noun

only it's 1885 meeting with George

today had capped a brilliant 10
week bowling streak by forging
to the front in the Federal League
with an exceptional average of
124-32, one stick short Of 125 for
his 80 games.
AS a result Of his sparkling 1856
game last night which tied his
own season league mark the Vets
chalked up a 673 team game for
q record mark. Piling up the

From the looks of things,

many objected StrenuouSly today
to the Anglo-Soviet naval pact,
contending it would upset the
balance of sea power in the Bal
tic and all Europe.
Prince Otto Won Bismarck,
German charge D'Affaires, de-
livered q note to the foreign Of
flee which was understood to i'm
ply that the Reich would enlarge
her navy if the English and Rus
slams sign an agreement.
Some naval experts believed the
note might be a German threat
to construct a submarine fleet
equal to Great Britain's. but it
was understood there was no such
specific clause in the memoran-
cum.
Another German objection to
the Anglo-Soviet pact was that 1t
would require rCadjuStment OF
her 1885 treaty with Britain.
That agreement allowed Germany
to build global tonnage equal to
35 per cent of that of Britain'S
in every category except Subma-
rineS. She was granted the right
to build submarines equal to As
per cent of England'S and there
also was a clause that she could
build up to equality in submarines
with England after notifying
London Of her intention to do so.
One of Germany'S principal OBJ
jectionS was that the Anglo-RuS-
sian treaty would allow the red
navy to construct seven cruisers
with IL inch guns. Germany
considered this as upSetting ma
val equilibrium in the Baltic and
contrary to the Anglo American
French treaty of last March,
which called for a naval holiday
On heavy cruisers.
This concession was made by
Britain to Russia because other
powers already possess heavy
cruisers which the Soviet union
lacks.
The German note suggested
that Russia already possesses the
worlds strongest submarine fleet.
According to the German naval
Intelligence Bureau, there are
now 100 Soviet submarines afloat
and many more under ConStruC-
ton. Under the Anglo o-RuSSian
treaty the Soviet union can build
and unlimited number of subma
rineS.
Britain still is recalling that
German submarines blocked the
world war and put Britain III an
acute position. The prospect of
a stronger German navy thus is
particularly alarming.

Federal assistance came tonight
after less than five days of eX-

between State Heaiv:l Officers,
Gov. j. c. B. EhringhauS. the Red

of the Interior.
The first appeal regarding dis

of the Carolina coast was made
last week by DR.. Reynolds to the
Red Cross in Washington. A sur
vey by State Health officers of
the region prompted immediate
action. DR.. Reynolds said.
There was every evidence Of

The hurricane left upwards of
