'Buck" O'NeilI an anti-Nazi
group; whether to abandon the
field to Max Baer or some other
contender and remain loyal to
the ideals Of der Vaterland must
be decided by the Teuton
Schlager.
Perhaps the matter will be de-
cided for him in Germany be-
fore many hours elapSe.
The situation, which threat
ems the proposed contest be-
tween Schmeling and the non
Aryan Louis, developed when
Mike Jacobs, promoter of the
contest, wrote a letter to Presi-
dent Franklin D. Roosevelt and
Offered 10 per cent of the profits
accruing from the bout to the
Chief Executives newly organ
lied European Refugee Aid
Committee.
Jacobs made his offer in an
effort to placate the anti.Nazi
element in New York City, and
bring about lifting of the boy
colt on the fight, already
launched. He placed Schmeling
in a position wholly without
parallel in the history of Ameri-
can sports.
More Than Contender
Schmeling is something more
than a contender for a fistic
bauble. He is a representative
Of the German Reich, a cham
pion Of the Nazi regime. His
mission is to establish the supre.
macy of Aryan Germany in the
prize ring.
BY this political move of the
crafty Jacobs, Schmeling will be
used as an instrument to pro-
vide funds for an organization
whose purpose, at least in part,
Is to overcome the very system
Of which Schmeling is an am
bassador in his chosen field.
The offer established Jacobs as
a good fellow" with some of
the anti-Nazis, who may be will.
ing to forget and forgive in the
excitement Of a heavyweight
championship. This forgiving
spirit may find expression in
greater patronage of the bout.
The greater the gate, the
richer the profits. The richer
the profits, the greater the con-
tribution to the Refugee Aid
Committee. The greater the con.
tribution, the wider the scope of
the committees rescue work.
Unusual Position
So, Schmeling is in danger of
having himself manouvered
into the position of a champion
building up the reputation and
prestige of his fatherland with
his fists, but pouring money
into the Golfers of an organi-
zation which may be regarded as
unfriendly to German ideals.
Der Vaterland looks to
Schmeling to whip Louis, and
then carry on to a greater and
more zealouSly sought triumph
over Max Baer, who once
knocked out Schmeling. Whether
Germany will C un t e n an c e
Schmeling giving aid and com.
fort to any group not in SYM
pathy to the German system may
be decided swiftly, and officially.
From the German viewpoint
there may be little difference in
Schmeling participating in a
sports events with funds di-
verted to any organization such
as the proposed beneficiary, and
giving aid to any unfriendly
group Of any nature.
On the other hand, the stu.
alton may be officially ignored
in Germany, and Schmeling will
proceed in his attempt to regain
the heavyweight title he lost to
Jack Sharkey. If succ cSSful,
contract or no contract, he may
return to Der Vaterland and
insist that Max Baer fight him
in Berlin or some other city Of
the Reich, making adequate con.
tribution to some German relief
fund.

JAPAN COUNTERS
u. S. NAVY CLAIMS
Parity Stand Is Unaltered by q
Ocean Standard for
America.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
TOXIC. Feb. 1.-THE japanese
naval spokesman said today that the
fact that United States naval defense
problems embrace two oceans to
Japan's one did not alter Japan's
stand on naval parity.
He made the statement in COM
menting on President Roosevelt's press
conference declaration that the Amer
ican fleet should be able to defend
both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts.
Distribution of the (American)
fleets is not question which concerns
U.s." he said, explaining that he was
expressing personal view.
When necessary it is always a gen.
eral policy to muster the fleet into one
important position. Naval armament,
therefore, must always be treated as
q unit.
'On an ocean basis it could be
argued that Britain, with some seven
oceans to defend, is entitled to much
larger navy than the United States.
Our policy remains entirely de-
fensive." ,..
The newspaper Chugai shogyo said
editorially:
Great Britain and the United
States are intending to expand their
navies with future hostilities in the
Far East as their objective In other
words, both countries are expanding
with Japan as their mark"

WEDDING SLIPS MEMORY,
WOMAN ASKS DECREE
Actress Makes Claim to Get Free

Fifth Time.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Feb. 17.-Peggy Law
ton Rich. blond actress, told Supreme
Court referee yesterday that she could
not recall having married her fourth
husband, and she asked for an annul-
ment
This technicality is necessary, she
told friends later, in order to leave her
free to marry fifth suitor, who she
identified as Mark Shull formerly an
orchestra leader and now a civil en-
gineer, of Scarsdale, N. Y.
Mrs. Rich told Referee Thomas c. T.
Grain that when her roommate in
formed her in September, 1886, that
she had become the bride of Theodore
Royce. British theatrical impresario,
she was, to put it mildly, greatly sur
prised.
She had known Royce only short
time, she said, and he had invited her
to a cocktail party which ended, she
later learned, before a justice of the
peace in Westchester.
Referee Grain reserved decision.

"HARBORE7S OF GERMS"
Believe in GHOSTS?

Believe in GHOSTS? The ghost Of the
Medi eval Ages has come to visit in
Greenbelt. Aye, we should post a guard
at the towns gates to keep out the
Indians. I read last weeks nti-dog
letter and it impr essed me so much that
in my tired state I felt as though I had
slipped back three hundred years. It
reminded Of the belief that Tomatoes
were poisonous and Night Air
unhealthy, Of solem's Witches and many
other silly things.
"Harborers Of germs" was the letters
accusation in referring to dogs. I
remember the funny little song "Some
little bug will, but Ill wager you
won't get it from dog. You stand a
much greater chance Of infection from
contact with another person. All
healthy human bodies harbor germs, often
Of virulent type.
Will the antipoochers protest the
Keeping Of Canaries, Parrots, and Cold
fl sh? They should, for caneries ore
subie ct to malignant Group, parrots to
parrot fever so fatal to man, and
lazy goldfish could aid the breeding
Of millions Of yellow fever mosquitoes.
You say this letter is silly, but
compare it with the letters Of those
who are not on speaking terms witt dogs.
For consolation I suggest that the dog
fanciers rally in disfavor Of other
peoples pets and display such slogans
as:
NO PUPPIES NO GUPPIEs
and NO POOCH NO HOOCH

FRANK BUCK GETS STUCK

I met man the other day
whose face was long and drawn and gray.
He ID lived in Greenbelt quite some time,
But said he wouldn't give dime
For such town which wouldn't let
A man keep even one lone pet.
I asked him why he couldn't stay
Without pet, and I heard him say:
1.-THE life out here is really grand,
The town intelligently planned,
The incest people I ever met,
The finest home q man con get.
But I can't sleep
Unless I keep
boa constructor for q pet.
Vt used to pay awful price
For rent, but here it's really nice.
I pay much less and get much more
And I never sow such fancy floor.
But IN not content
With just low rent,
I want rhinocerous at my door.
Wits easy you must press switch
And you can cook in an oven, which,
Takes all the work from job once hard
And the food you cook does not get
charred.
But what's the use
Of all the juice,
If I can't have an antelope in my yard.
Before my house stately trees
And pretty flowers and strawberries.
But though they're lovely the dawn,
The trees and stuff just make me yawn,
For what's the good
Of all the wood,
If I can't have hippo my lawn.

at her. at the eager face pressed
against the glass, at the curling
dark hair escaping from the silly
peaked hat that made her look like
an Alpine maid. His mouth had
broken into that twisted smile, his
blue eyes absorbing the blue from
the Christmas tree lights.
