International
News Review
By GEORG STRANDvOLD

Looking over the fluctuations of
news in the international field during
the last few days, one finds-with a
view to possibly future developments
-four events overshadowing other
happenings: the first is the fact that
the peoples of Germany and Austria
by a tremendous vote have approved
the complete merger between those
two nations; the second, that France
experienced another cabinet crisis
which may, to some extent, influence
the trend of things in Europe; the
third, that the troops of the Span
ish government have proved them
selves able to stave off, for the time
being, anyhow, another attempted
rebel onslaught, and the fourth, that
the Chinese armies defending their
country against the invading Japan
csc are suddenly offering resistance
so stiff, so determined and so success
full that even the japanese author
tiles are quite baffled.
Plebiscite.
ASIuIe Jill dIley proven IllIIlSell
the perfect political prophet when
he predicted the outcome of the 1886
American presidential campaign, for
he said that President Franklin D.
Roosevelt would carry the entire
country with two exceptions, i. e.,
Maine and Vermont. He did. A
close runner-up, prophetically speak
ing, is General Field Marshal Her
mann Wilhelm Goering, right-hand
man of Adolf Hitler, chief ex-
ecutive of the German government,
for he said in Berlin last Saturday
that the result of Sundays plebiscite
on the issue of merging Austria and
Germany would be mot SO percent,
but 100;" he just barely missed it,
for the result was closer to 100 than
to 80 percent.
Approximately speaking, there were
more than 40 million votes cast, and
of those about 48,800,000 were in

morrow; Brook Trout on
May 1, Others May Is.

The long awaited opening date for
fishing in Minnesota is due and ang-
lers of certain species may partake
of their favorite pastime now. How
ever, in the northern zone, of the state
April Is is the earliest date for fishing.
Minnesota's fly rod fishermen or
the lowly willow pole and worm
specialists will have their inning be-
ginning May l when the brook trout
season opens, according to Harry E.
Speakes, director of game and fish.
Bullheads, catfish, garfsh, white
fish of 16 inches and over; carp, dog
fish, redhorse, sheepshead, suckers,
eelpout and buffalo may be taken
with hook and line May /, except
in Big Stone Lake were bullheads
are protected until May Is.
The lake trout season opens April
Is. Walleyed pike, pickerel, great
northern pike, muskellunge, sand pike
and yellow perch may be taken on
and after May Is.
Crappies, bass and sunfish may be
taken beginning May 20 in the south
ern zone and in the northern zone
the season on these fish opens on
June 81.
The zone dividing line runs approx
imately straight east and west through
Browns Valley, Morris, st. Cloud,
Princeton and Cambridge.

Mill City Will
Get Title Bout
John Henry Lewis Will
Meet Emilio Martinez in
Minneapolis April 25.

Minnesota will see its first worlds
championship fight to decision in
more than SO years when John Henry
Lewis defends his light heavyweight
title against Emilio Martinez of Den
yer, in a 15-round bout at the Min
neapolis Auditorium April 25.
Not since the immortal John L. Sui
Ivan fought Patsy Cardiff to a six
round draw in Minneapolis back in
1887 for the world heavyweight
crown, have two battlers tangled in
Minnesota in decision encounter
with a title at stake.
The Twin Cities have been host to
three championship tussles since that
time, the last in 1919 when Mike
O'Dowd nosed out Mike Gibbons, but
always under Minnesota's no-decision
boxing law, since amended.
The April Is bout in the Minneapo-
lis Auditorium will also mark the
first time the state has witnessed
the defense of the light heavyweight
crown.
John Henry Lewis may be meeting
more than his match when he tackles
Martinez. The Denver southpaw, the
most popular fighter to come out OF
Colorado in many years, whipped
Lewis decisively in Denver on JAN
uary 20, 1886.
The "Clouting Caballero," as he is
styled by Denver fans, was awarded
seven rounds, Lewis three in that
bout, an overweight, non-title affair
The light heavyweight champion is
booked to arrive in Minneapolis
Thursday to open a ten-day siege OF
heavy training for the bout. Mar
tinez will follow day later, with both
scheduled for daily workouts at
Potts gym until the day of the strug-
gle.
Jack Dempsey today is still ponder
ing an offer to referee the main event
The former heavyweight champion is
to arrive in Minneapolis shortly on a
nationwide business tour, and will
make his decision then.

Air Mail Will Be
Twenty Years Old

During the week of May Is to 81,
the Post Office Department will cele-
brate the goth anniversary of the
Inauguration of regularly scheduled
air mail service. Postmaster Cen
eral James A. Farley will be honor
airy chairman of the committee which
will arrange for a fitting observation
of this event Paul R. Younts, post
master at Charlotte, N. c., will be the
active chairman of the campaign with
John R. Coan, postmaster at Mime
apolis, the Minnesota State chairman.
The first air mail route was in
augurated on May Is, 1918, and OPP
Grated between New York city and
Washington, a distance of 218 miles.
Service was operated in two relays
with planes having speed of about
80 miles per hour. One pilot would
fly from New York to Philadelphia,
a distance of 80 miles and another
pilot would relieve him and continue
the trip from Philadelphia to Wash
ington, distance of 1913 miles. Today
flights of a thousand miles with full
loads of mail, passengers and express
are common occurrence. The little
218-mile system has expanded to a
system of 81 1926 miles on which planes
flew the last fiscal year in total of
over 70 million miles.
Essay Contest.
"Wings Across America" is the
subject of a nationwide school es-
say contest, the essays to be based
on the progress, dependability and
future possibilities of this method of
modern communication. Mr.. Coan,
state chairman, states that every high
school pupil or those having high
school curricula in Minnesota are
not only eligible to enter this con-
test but are urged to do so. There
will be two state prizes given, the
first prize being an airplane trip from
the winners nearest airport to Wash
ington and return. The second state
prize will be trophy to be presented
by the Minnesota Air Mail Week
Campaign Committee
The essays of pupils winning a
trip to Washington and return will
be entered in a national contest in
which the winner will be given an
airplane trip with expenses paid for
five days from Washington to Holly
wood for those living east of the

Ranger Issues A
Fire Warning
Spring Fires are Danger
Gus if Care is not Used as
to What and When to Set.

Recognizing that this is the season
of the year when carelessly set fires
are menace to homes and property,
Forest Ranger E. V. Calvert issues
the following advise and warning:
"The practice of meadow burning
is one that Forestry Service neither
condemns nor favors entirely. 1t is
recognized that considerable of this
burning is necessary and for the best
interests of the community as well
as the Individual farmer. We do,
however, oppose the burning of mead
ows without due regard for the re-
suits of such burning and the burn
ing of meadows where nothing of
value results from such burning.
"When the burning of meadows is
done early in the spring, while there
is still some snow on the highland,
the damage is held to a minimum.
The fire is then confined to the actual
meadows and does not carry over
into the second day. Meadows should
not be burned during periods of high
wind and should be set during the
late afternoon so that changing wealth
er and wind conditions will not result
in the fire getting beyond control.
Meadow burning should be re-
stricted to such areas as are in de-
mand for the harvesting of hay or
where the area burned is required
for pasture. The burning of mead
ows where no improvements are to
be made or no use is contemplated
is of no real value. It results in
considerable damage to game cover
and, when done late in the spring,
often results in considerable loss to
game and bird life.
Each spring there is considerable
property loss resulting from improper
meadow burning. Hundreds of tons
of hay as well as numerous buildings
are burned each spring in this area
alone.
''It should be remembered that
burning permits are required for
meadow burning as well as all other
burning except during the period
when the ground is snow covered"
