lei EVERYBODY:
IL Well, sir, if I seem to be continually harping on the
fact that adventures are things you meet up with most fire.
quently at home, you can put it down to the fact that l am
continually being reminded of it. Just the other day, while
looking through a sheaf of letters I came to a story by a
woman who had an adventure on a farm. Well-of course,
there's nothing unusual in that. The funny part of it was
that the farm was in this country, and the adventure was
of a sort you'd only expect to run into in the jungles of
Africa or South America, or to read about in some account
of the grim battles between men and animals that the an
Gent Romans used to stage in their gladiatorial arenas.
The woman is Lotte Hawco-NIrs. John Havoc, of New York city.
And the animal she fought with a a wild boar I'll bet a lot of people
including me-didnt know there we're wild boars in rs country. But there
are, a any South Carolina farmer can tell you. How they got here is
an interesting story.
You see the ordinary barnyard breed of pig is nothing in the
world but a descendant of the wild bears you read about in tales
of oldtime Alerrie England. Those boars were tanned and fat
tened and domesicated until, ver the space of six or eight hum
ded years they became the fat. lazy, glutonous animals you
see in hog pens the country over.
How Pigs Get Wild and Dangerous.
But a pig will stay fat and tame. and lazy Only SO long as he's kept
in captivity and stufeG with chop suey from that well known galva-
nized iron a out OF the back porch. Once he gets loose and goes back
to the woods again and has to rustic for his own fond-wel-then he
gets thin and tough and raEgy. His tusks grow out and n a generation
or twin he becomes a boariagan-just a wild and as dangerous a ami
NAL a ever he when he roaned the marshes and forests of old
England in the days of Robin Hood'v
There are plenty of those backsiding wild hogs in the back country
of South Carolina. and the farmers hunt them down and round them UP
because they destroy the nests of the wild turkeys in the neghborhood.

BERLIN, Feb. 9.-The Nazi state to-

BERLIN, Feb. ga Nazi spokes-
man last night forecast a thorough

office under Joachim Won Ribbentrop.
He said it would be designed to insure
its 5unctioning as real Nazi organi-

There was considerable speculation
among diplomats over when Won Rib
bentrop would assume his new duties
as foreign minister. He replaced the
conservative Baron Konstantin Won
Neurath, who became chairman Of the
secret cabinet council in last weeks
governmental and army shake-up.
Date Not Yet Certain.
1t had been understood that Won
Ribbentrop would begin functioning
today, but later it was said that he
would officially move into the foreign
office Friday. Last night the foreign
Office spokesman said the date was
not yet certain.

hundreds Of members Of the diplo-

The original invitatio came from
Won Neurath as foreign minister,
while the engraved cards announcing
the cancellations omitted that title.
Without Foreign Minister.
With Won Neurath no longer sign-
ing himself as foreign minister and
Won Ribbentrop not officially in
charge, German technically seemed
to be without foreign minister for
the moment.
The Nazi spokesman said that while
such situation might be interest

to it. He explained that Won Ribben-
trop merely was going to London to
say good-by there before officially

African naval bases and the start of a
military highway across Algeria to
Italian Libya's frontier. sources close

Defense Minister Edouard Daladier
will ask 20 per cent increase in 1888
armaments spending, these sources
said. Such an increase would be
4,o00,0O0,O00 francs (about $13333o.-
00O above the $4,000, 100000 francs
(about s733,333,333) already approved
by Parliament.
The additional expenditure would
make possible the 1000 planes, imme-
date construction of two 35,0OO-ton
battleships, naval base construction
and increased mechanization Of the
army.

Chamber Deputies awaited Dala-

fore today's joint meeting of chamber
Army. Navy and Air Committees with
the prediction that enabling bills
would be presented before the end of
the week.
Completion Of new naval base at
Mers-el-kebir, on the Bay of Oran,
Algeria, would be hastened under Da-
LADDERS plan. Work was begun in 1898
at cost of 5000 900 francs tabout
$9,166,666).
The new base would complete a
trlanble of French bases, with Bizerta
and Toulon in the Mediterranean.
Bizerta, in Tunisia, is only $50 miles
from Sicily and less than an hour by
air from the Italian airplane bases
and is considered vulnerable in the
event of trouble with Italy.
Construction of a naval base at
Agadir on the Atlantic Coast of
Morocco also would be started, it was
said, for use in case French shipping
was forced to take the cape route to
the Orient If an enemy controlled the
Mediterranean in war time.
Strategic Highway Projected.
A strategic military highway from
the Atlantic Coast of Morocco across
Algeria to the Tunisian frontier with
Italian Libya also is expected to be
constructed.
Purchase Of the 1000 fighting planes
would assure France 3,400 first line
ships by the end of 1898 and 1000 bv
the end OF 1899 under present plans.

Italy had 2,100 ships at the beginning
OF 1898 and that Germany had $500

General conditions at Marking,

by Hidaka as improved.

Japanese armies were poised mean

The troops. with rearranged posi-
tions and with morale growing

The Japanese grand objective was
to bottle up 100000 Chinese troops
along the Lunghai Railway and con-
quer the corridor which has kept them
from piecing together the japanese
occupied areas in North China and the
Yangtze River Valley.
For weeks the japanese have edged
into position for the offensive in a

OF japanese forces"
Chinese Are Heartened.
But Chinese, facing a six-wav at
tack on the corridor some 300 miles
long and lsO to 200 miles wide, found
cheer in these developments:
Their troops at the south central
fringe of the corridor have kept Japa-
nese south of the Hwai River; per-
slstant guerrilla attacks behind Japa-
nese lines have hampered Nippon's
movement Of reinforcements and SUD-
plies; Chlna's air force has grown;
q steady stream of planes and war
materials has reached Central China
from the south.
Two japanese columns were aimed
at the southern border Of the Lung
hal corridor and four were in position
on the north. Most of the Chinese
force of 100000 was said to be in
the eastern half of the corridor.
