On the day Germany and England,
declared war on each other, August 4,
1914, 1t was only natural that Germans
staged a demonstration before the
English Embassy Building in Berlin,
but the English reception, typically
English, was decidedly out of the ordi-

Forecast Of a building boom and
suggestion of the need of more
confidence in real estate" we're re-
viewed today by Indianapolis real
tors following the address yesterday
OF Charles s. Wanless, Springfield,
Ill, regional vice president of the
National Association of Real Estate,
before the Indianapolis Real Estate
Board.
Mr.. Wanless, who built many
homes during the depression years,
asserted "the time will be here soon
for a big harvest"
When you make some money you
had better save it to make economic
investments in times of economic
distress" he said.
He commended appraisal clinics,
one of which is to be held March "a
to 26 in the Indiana University ex-
tension, and said the clinics are
worth their weight in gold"
Too many realty men, he said, are
ignoring the low-salaried groups in
building new homes. 1t is possible
to make profit building low-cost
homes, he declared.
Associate members of the real es-
tate board are to have charge of
next weeks program.

RAILROADS REPORT
LABOR AGREEMENT
Protection of Employees
0usted by Mergers
Is Provided.

Long-sought protection of employees
thrown out Of work in railroad con-
solidation is provided in an agree
ment between rail labor and manage
ment announced today by representa-
tives of both after conference with
President Roosevelt.
The agreement, which terminates
long negotiations, provides:
A scale of dismissal wages ranging
up to one years salary for employees
who have been in service Is years or
longer. At their option, workers also
would be entitled to accept partial
salary payments over period of
months.
For employees who had worked Is
years this latter scale would provide
so per cent of regular salary for 60
months.
The agreement was signed in the
early morning hours today. George
M. Harrison, chairman of the Com
mittee of Railway Labor Executives,
told reporters the call on Mr.. Roose-
welt was merely to report what had
been done
Asked what the Presidents reaction
was, Harrison said:
He asked us to do this ard We
simply reported 1t had been done"
Refers to Presidents Plea.
Harrison referred to a plea from
Mr. Roosevelt in March that rail labor
and management get together on a
voluntary protection agreement.
The difficulties, which have now
been ironed out, arose over the plans
for coordination, unification and pur-
chase aimed at the emergency rail-
road and transportation acts of 1888.
The purpose of this act was to pro-
mote elimination of railroad waste
and inefficiency, and at the same
time to protect the employees.
The principal concession negotiated
is that each railroad contemplating
coordination shall give at least 80
days written notice to the employees,
and that such notice must contain a
full and adequate statement of the
proposed changes, including an esti-
mate of the number of employees of

The French, it was said, would say

by China's foreign creditors should the

(The Chinese have complained that
their customs officials in Northern

PARIS, May 2l.-JoSeph Paul-Bon-

tonight Italy's expulsion of French
priest from Ethiopia was 'inaccepta-

France would protest vigorously.
This sudden development in the
Franco-Italian situation came shortly
after the French government refused
to withdraw colonial troops from Dire
dawa, strategic center on the railroad
from Adds Ababa to the sea.
Intense Interest Aroused.
The case of Msgr Andre Jarosseau.
78-year-old leader of Roman Catholic
mission in Ethiopia, aroused intense
official interest.
The prelate, who had been in ETH
opia so years, ministering especially to
native lepers. was ordered out of the
country by Italian authorities yester-
day on charges of having made "hos-

Ambassador to Rome, would make rep.
reservations to the Italian government
Official sources said the $50 CO.
lonials would continue to guard the
Diredawa shops on the French-owned
railroad, despite a request from Italy
that they withdraw.
Such a withdrawal, these sources
believed. would be tantamount to
recognition of the Italian regime in
Ethiopia.
In asking that the troops be moved,
Italy insisted her army of occupation
was capable of maintaining order
throughout the conquered land.
Railroad officials also declined an
Italian request that they permit the
shipment of $40 tons of provisions
from Djibouti. French Somaliland, to
the Fascist troops in Adds Adaba.
The request was turned down on the
ground that the roads wartime neu-
