 full Friends.

Attorney Emil Hummel, local probation officer, and author of the famous Hummel Pledge, lost 0 double header in city court this morning, when @ man arraigned for intoxication was referred to his custody by Judge Edward Mascolo.
 In leading up to the subject of taking the pledge, the probation official asked the man, How is 1t that you fellows who never work can get all you want to drink, If there Is some secret to 1t, for one would like to know"
 The accused replied that some- times he stepped into place for a drink and the bartender usually gives him a couple of bottles to take along with him.
 "A couple of bottles,' asked At torney Humel, stretching his eye. broWS.
 "Well, sometimes one, and some- times two", was the answer.
 Tf ever went into a place for Q drink, and I do occasionally with friends" said the officer, "the bar tender, or proprietor, never gives mo any bottles."
 Perhaps I am Q better custo- mer," said the man, nonchalantly, and with the expression of victory, "and sometimes people bring bot ties to me at home"
 T have a home, too" said Emil "but nobody ever brings me any bottles, or anything else"
 "Well, perhaps you haven't any friends" was the answer to that one. The game was called for embarrassment.

GERMANS BOIL With RAGE
OVER L0YALIST ATTACK UPON
BATTLESHIP, KILLING q MEN
Withdraw From Non-Intervention Committee, Leaving
All Europe Free to Aid Rebels, Loyalists
in the Little World War"
.(By UNITED PRESS)

Italy today officially announced its withdrawal from
the non-ntervention committee, few hours after Ger
many withdrew from cooperation in efforts to
trality in the Spanish civil war;
Itays action ended hopes of keeping non.nterventon
force and allows all nations direct aid to the
Spanish fighting forces.
The situation became even more critical when German
delegates failed to appear at scheduled meeting Of the
non-ntervenon committee in London and this meeting
cancelled
Meanwhile, German and Italian newspapers shouted
in headlines that the German bombardment of Almeria
justified retaliation for the bombing of the Deutsch.
land.
Italian official said that Italy would support
Germany in any other realiaory that Hitler
takes.
GERMANY WITHDREW FIRST, AGGRAVATING
SPANISH CIVIL WAR CRISIS
Germany today withdrew from the Spanish non-nter.
committee because Loyalst arpanes had bombed
her warshp Deutschland, killing % sailors and inurng
rs.
In retaliation German warships bombarded the Loyal
list port of Almeria for four hours this morning. killing
several of persons in the city.
These actions brought the gravest crisis that has
confronted Europe since the fratricidal in
Spain began.
Diplomats believed Italy probably would follow Ger
anys lead and also withdraw from the non-inervention
committee, leaving all nations free to aid the Rebels or
Loyalists.
The German government is reported being enraged
by the Deutschland incident and ordered all German ships
to fire Loyaist planes.
More than 40 buildings in Almeria destroyed by
the terrific German bombardment That act the cul-
mination of several incidents which have threat
ened trouble.

HONOR dead in
ALL j. s WARS
Legion Burial Plot at Gem
etery Is Presented
and Dedicated

Soldier dead Of all the wars Of
the nations were honored yester-
day afternoon with memorial SER
vices at Oakdale cemetery. Ser
vices were conducted by the HUI
bert NJ. Smith post Of the Amer
lean Legion.
Commander Paul w. English,
of the Legion, presided at the
service and the Baptist choir, aug
mented by other city church choir
members, led in singing Amer
ica." The invocation was by the
Rev. A. w. Lippard, pastor of
Grace Lutheran church.
The Legion burial plot in the
cemetery was formally presented
to the post by Mayor A. V. Ed
wards and accepted by Comman-
der English. Dedication "to God
and country" was made by Nath-
an Patla.
Representatives of patriotic So
cieties, who spoke briefly, were
Mrs. r. p. Freeze, for the d. A.
r.; Mrs. Walter Groce, for the
U. d. c.: and Mrs. Paul English,
for the Legion Auxiliary.
The principal address was de-
livered by the Rev. Phillip O'Ma-
IA, pastor of the Immaculate Con-
ception Catholic church, who took
his text from II Timothy Al
81 have fought good fight, /
have finished my course, / have
kept the faith"
ut is fitting and proper" he
said, "that we set aside spot
where our heroic dead might be
buried. The height Of civilization
of any people can always be told
by their cemeteries. Both pagan
and Christian people always have
laid their dead away reverently.
"Man has an immortal soul,
purchased by God, and has the
promise of resurrection. Rights
and liberties of man are inherent
because of his soul immortality.
It is as cowardly to refuse
to fight for such rig hts as
it is dastardly to fight in agrees
sion. Man must realize his divine
obligation to love country"
The benediction was by the
Rev. B. E. Wall, pastor Of the
First Baptist church, and was fol-
lowed by taps and the salute to
the dead.

Rev. Burke took his text from

pray, that We may be sincere"
ConfuciuS once said that sim
cerity and faith were the highest
attributes of character, Rev.
Burke said. st. Paul said. 81 pray
that We may be sincere" SINGER
ity comes from two Latin words
which mean literally, without wax,
he explained. The two words were
used in builders contracts in ear
ly Rome because builders were
accustomed to remedying their
mistakes with wax.
"The one thing most needed to-
day is sincerity. Troubles of the
world are due largely to a lack
of confidence between nations,
communities and individuals.
Christ demanded sincerity of
purpose and of heart from his dis
ciples. He praised children be-
cause in the child there is no ul-
terror motive, and only sincerity.
"By sincerity is not meant say
ing everything one thinks. 1t is
all right to say what one means,
but one should abstain from say
ing everything and from flattery.
"Just as the wax used by the
builders in ancient Rome was dis
colored by time, washed away by
the rains, or melted by the heat
of the sun, and the builder thus
undone; so insincerity Of character
cannot stand the tests of life to-
day."

HURT SUNDAY
Picketers Disobey Orders
to Halt; Shot in Air
Starts Battle
MARTIAL LAW NOT
YET PUT in FORCE

CHICAGO, May 81. (UP).-
State ana federal authorities to-
day Strove to prevent the recur-
renee of fighting which brought
death to four striking steel work
erS and injury TO more than 100
uniOnistS and police in Il fierce
battle near Republic Steel COM
pany'S south side plant Sunday.
Governor Henry HOrner an
nounced after a midnight confer
ence with representatives of all
interested parties that peaceful
picketing will be permitted and
that martial law will not be de-
clared, ut least for the present.
Yesterdays fight was between
1900 steel strikers and $50 police
men.
Republic is the only one of
the three independent steel COM
panies - Republic, Youngstown
Sheet and Tube, and Inland Steel
against which the CLIO. is
striking i'm Illinois. Indiana and
Ohio, which has attempted to con
tinue production. a force OF
workers, guarded ny city police,
still remained in the South Chi
cago Republic works late last
night.
The four dead, all reported to
have died from gunshot wounds,
were first fatalities in the far
flung strike of steel workers in
five states. which started last
Tuesday night. None of the vic
tins was identified Immediately.
Their bodies were being sent to
the county morgue.
Two died before they could be
taken To the Bridewell hospital,
one. was dead on admission to
South Chicago hospital. and the
fourth died Il few minutes after
reaching Burnside hospital.
The terrific fighting occurred
rs strikers, for the third time IN
recent days, sought to march to
the main gate of the great plant
which has continued to operate IN
defiance of the strike which has
closed plants of other independ-
ent steel manufacturers.
Inflamed by speeches made by
two organizers for the committee
of Industrial Organization, the
strikers maSSed, in estimated
strength of 1900 to $4,000, at
Sans Place. a meeting hall four
blocks from the plant, and march
ed four abreast toward the gates.
More than block from the
rates, on narrow strip of waste
land which was said to be the
property of the steel company,
Capt. James Kilroy of the Chicago
police, waited with patrOlmen.
Kilroy called upon the strikers
10 halt, and words were exchang-
ed.
Then a brick flew toward the
police captain from the ranks OF
strikers.
Several witnesses said a patrol
man, apparently nervous and act
ing without orders, drew his pistol
and fired several times over the
heads of the strikers.
Then, they said, other patrol
men drew pistols and fired both
into the air and into the mass Of
strikers. They said they saw sew
eral men fall, before the advanc-
ing police, with fOur-fOot riot
clubs, began hand-to-hand fight
ing with strikers.
