The crowd was wild with joy
and the spontaneity of its cheer
ing was manifest. His words were
almost drowned out by the luSty
cheering on several occasions.
Following his address, Hitler
and his large corps of guards
boarded a special train for a re
turn journey to Hof. From there
the chancellor will journey to
Beyreuth, where he is expected
to remain for the night.
According to tentative plans, he
will continue his triumphal in
vasion tomorrow with visits to
Marienbad and Karlsbad.
After Hitler's departure, six
Czech soldiers were taken to the
Eyer city prison and subjected to
a severe military grilling. The six,
all armed with hand grenades
were arrested at the airfield
earlier today and shortly before
the German leaders arrival.
German officers were forced to
throw two hand grenades them.
selves in order to force the Czech
soldiers to surrender. 1t was not
known whether they planned an
attempt on Der Fuehrer's life.
Clearly showing his pride and
emotion as the Reich he rules ex-
panded before his very eyes, Adolf
Hitler today moved with his troops
into the Sudetenland.
Through mountain pass lined
with thousands Of Historically
Joyous Sudeten Germans, who
rraved a rainstorm to greet him,
the Fuehrer drove into Czechoslo-
vakia on the heels Of $4,000 march

The Poles moved into Teschen
with flags waving, bayonets fixed,
and tanks and artillery rumbling.
Flowers were thrown in the
troops path, and flags decked
every building. but the soldiers
seizure of the area was more a
business-like procedure than a cere-
I. onial one.
AS in the Germanic districts of
Czechoslovakia, thousands lined
the streets to greet the Poles. At
each end of the bridge leading
across the OLA, loud-speakers
sounded Polish tunes and speeches.
Military Regime
A strong military regime i'm
mediately was imposed on the
Teschen section, following with
drawal of Czech authorities.
Marshal Smigly-Ridz, head of
the Polish army and the strong
man" of Poland, gave the order by
radio for the troops to march into
Czechoslovakia.
He explained the diplomatic ex-
change with Prague, including the
Polish short-term ultimatum to
which Czechoslovakia yielded, and
added:
atop your bayonets, the.
glory of the Polish republic
crosses the Olza.
"As soldiers, you represent
the nations will. March on!"
Planes Wing Over
In small contingents, the troops
Immediately began marching
southwark. Cycle corps were the
first to cross the bridge, then in
fantrymen marched. Machine
gun corps followed, but there was
no heavy artillery.
Airplanes circled on the Polish
side until the troops had crossed
the bridge, then the planes made
wider circles over the whole terri
tory to be occupied.
Strangely contrasting to the
militant tone of Poland'S ultima.
tum was the pro-Czech attitude o1
the press today.
Cooperation Asked
The entire press, obviously under
official inspiration, called fol
closer cooperation between Poland
and Czechoslov aka. now that all
reason for diScord has been re
moved.
Both countries, it was argued
must unite against the threat Of
German expansion.

Aviation COStlieSt
Fighting Branch
In World War
By FRED PAISLEY

We spent $1,000, 10000 in the
World War to bring down 776 Ger
man planes, a price per ship in
excess OF $15,000,000.
Aviation, in proportion to money
outlay and practical reSultS
achieved, was the costliest branch
of the service in the American EX-
peditionary Force.
Washington strategists, includ-
ing the Council of Ma 4onal De-
fenSe, had planned to have 10000
U. S.-built planes in France for
the use Of our army. That number
would have assured 1000 ships on
active duty, based on the theory of
two ships in reserve for each one
in the air, plus 5000 training ships
for student flyers.
COMPLETE FAILURE
So far as concerned the fighting
front, the program was complete
failure, according to disclosures
at hearings before the House Sub
Committee on Aviation in 1920.
The record of machines flown by
our aviators in France during the
nineteen months of our participa-
ton in the war showed:
American-built combat
planes ............... None
American-built bombing

ton planes .............2 .213

that representatives of the foul
great powers can find it possibl;
to agree on a way to carry out
a difficult and delicate operation
by discussion instead of loss o1
life. Thus they averted a catas
trophe which would have ended
civilization as we have known it,
Regarding the nglo-Germar

said:

Hailed As Liber0tor

With frenzied glee the people
hailed their "liberator," and Hit
ler obviously was moved by the oc-
casion, just as he was nearly
brought to tears when he first
went back into his Austrian home
land last spring.
Yet the Fuehrer, entering a ter
ritory where many diSsident ele-
ments remain, was more closely
guarded than he has been for
months.
Storm troopers and his own
special elite guards in their black
uniforms watched the route and
held back the crowds in ASch and
Eyer, where he is to see military
review.
The Fuehrer's personal retinue
included Henlein, Gen. Walter Won
Reichenau, Police Chief Heinrich
Himmler, Chief of Staff Gen. Viii

Hitler's personal adjutant.

First tank division and the Thir

after the one before, and If I

a sign she does or doesn't care
for me? She does speak Of me,

Would you advise me to drop

"Send me Sir artichokeS. !

DEITY thinks that the words
~ mice" and "big" are all that
are needed to assure delivery OF
desirable artichokes. Age is a
factor to be considered as the
leaves grow tough with age AS
the vegetables lay in the market
the leaves become a dull green
or brown, consequently the
flavor is impaired. AS the scales
become hard and the artichoke
leaves open, the vegetable is
over-mature, tough and flavor
less. The large ones may have
neShy leaves, but unless they
are selected with care they may
be over mature. Jerusalem
artichokes are tubers which may
be used as potato substitutes or
for pickles.

Husbands
Seem Indifferent
Too many husbands seem to
be Indifferent or unable to ap.
preciate the fact that within a
few short months a child-h;s
child-is going to come into the
world, and that it is mis- duty,
just as much as his wife'S, to
see that it has every chance
available.
So when you bring your wife
to the doctors office, he will ex.
anime her thoroughly and tell
you things about her that she
didn't know herself. T:ais per
sonal investigation by q doctor
is necessary because no two
people are built alike.
It may be that when she was

Of those diseases Of childhood.
This may have left her with a

have left some harmful effect.

Your doctor will want to ex-

their condition is of great i'm

these things over. If they aren't
perfectly clear to you, 60 back
to the doctor and ask him to
clear things up further. He'll
be glad to do it.
And another word to huS-
bands: When you come to this
great period in your lives, see
to it that there Is love and for
bearance in the house. There
are few times when a woman

This was in 1928. She had
