BERLIN HEARS TALK OF
WAR WITH RUSSIA

BERLIN, Aug. 25.-(UP)-
Neutral observers do not consider
Germany's army expansion decree
as implying an immediate menace
to peace, but it is noteworthy that
the public is becoming very nerv-
Gus.
There is much talk of imminent
war with Soviet Russia. Newspa-
pers the past few days have been
flooded with anxious telephone
calls inquiring the probable date
of war. A United Press reporter
talked to a Nazi militiaman, who
said that opinion was prevalent
in the militia that war may start
in the immediate future.
Morning papers in inspired edl-
torials praised frightening of the
term of military service as
"purely defensive measure neces.
STATED by the Russian decree OF
August II doubling the size OF
their army, also by the Spanish
situation"
The situation in Spain was de-
scribed as proving the expansive
nature of bolshevism."
The VoeIkischer Reobachter
said editorially: Germany will
not allow herself to be taken by
surprise"
The Berlinger Tageblatt, the
only morning paper openly allud-
ing to the possibility of war, said:
Should war come, history's judy
ment will be on our side" and ex-
pressed misgivings as to the eff
feet of the military decree abroad.

Meanwhile, Gov. ALI Landon

President Roosevelt is seriously

least one major speech "some-
where in the drouth area" it was
reported last night as he put his
final o. k. on plans for a dust bowl
tour that will keep him on the road
until Sept. 5.
White House attaches declined

UNTAINTED BY
PROPAGANDA IS DECLARED
VITAL NECESSITY BY LANDON
Republican Candidate Is
Heard at Chatauqua;
Visits Old Home
Bv JOE ALEX MORRIS
United Press Staff Correspondent

CHAUTAUQUA. N. Y. Aug.
25. Capitalization untainted
by propaganda is a vital necessity
in America because the tide is
running against free government"
Gov. Alf NJ. Landon said last night
in the second adddess of his cas-
tern CAMPAIGN tour.
On this historic spot where
few days ago President Roosevelt
delivered an address on foreign
affairs, the Republican presiden-
tial nominee accused the New Deal
of using the machinery of the fed
eral government "to keep itself in
power"
"When money is forcibly taken
by government from its citizens
and used to tear down those things
most precious to our people," Gov.
Landon said eve see propaganda
in its most shabby form.
eve NAV as we'll face the fact
that the tide is running against
free government today. In manv
lands the hand of government is
closing down on education. 1t is
being made into tool for auto
cratic purposes.
Gov. Landon's speech was al
most devoid of politics as he en-
tered President Roosevelt's home
state in a bid for New York's cleo
toral votes.
All of the ampitheatre's 1000
seats were taken and standees
were ten deep around three sides
of the building. Melvin C. Eaton,
New York State Republican chair
man, introduced the candidate,
who was accorded the picturesque
Chautauqua salute-the waving of
hundreds of handkerchiefs.
Applause and cheering greeted
his statements that schools must
be kept free from government
control and that he was opposed
to forcing teachers to take Oaths
not required of every other clti-
zen.
After his speech Gov. Landon
returned to the home of DR.. A. +.
Bestor. president of the Chautau-
qua. where he had dined, for
short reception. Then he went to
the home of an old friend, Charles
Hamilton, where he spent the
night.
The Republican nominee paused
at Conneautville, Pa, and just as
he finished his brief speech, three
shots were fired. 1t was not an
attempt to assassinate Gov. Lam
don, but a volley fired by police
who arrested an alleged pick
pocket.
The man gave his name as Thos.
L. Delmonico, of Pittsburgh. Gov.
Landon was several hundred feet
away from the scene of the shoot
ing and did not notice the Incl
dent. Delmonico, uninjured, was
taken to Meadville and placed in
Jail. Police said he was trying to
pick pockets of members of the
crowd listening to Gov. Landon.
The Republican nominee con-
tinued on through Pennsylvania,
pausing at Erie. But it was at
Conneautville, where Gov. Landon
spent some of his boyhood, that
memories were stirred.
Bareheaded, grinning a boys
grin and enjoying every minute
of his visit, the Republican nomi-
ness trudged across the school
ward where he played as SIX
year-old, squinted at window he
broke with a wild baseball pitch,
saw the girl who kissed him and
