1910 Aspirants Relieved,

No community in the country
breathes more freely over the end
OF the neutrality debate than the
goodly group of Republicans and
Democrats yearning to immediate
themselves on the 1910 presidential
altar. Vandenberg, Taft, Dewey,
Bridges, Nye, Bricker, Landon,
Hoover, James, McNary, Barton,
Hoffman, Lodge and all the other
q. o. P. Barkises have had rough
shedding trying to keep their names
on any OF the newspaper pages
nearer the front than the football
and racing sections AS for the
Democrats, Would-be inheritors of
F. D. RS mantle continue to be
stymled by the Presidents refusal
to be smoked out on the third-term
issue. White House newspaper
men lie awake nights inventing
ways and means of unscrewing the
lnscrutable, but get nowhere fast
and continually. Last of the bump
er crop of third term rumors is
that Roosevelt will declare himself
pro or con denomination right after
adjournment of the neutrality ses-
sion of Congress. Meantime, Demo-
cratic political opinion remains al
most equally divided as to whether
the Executive Mansion incumbent
will or will not seek to prolong his
lease. The McNutts, the Garners,
the Hulls, the Farleys, the Doug
lasses, the Byrds, the Jacksons, the
Wheelers, the Clarks, the Barkleys,
the Murphys. the Starks and all the
other possibles-and impossibles-
would give good deal to know the
state of the boss mind. But, like
everybody else, including. allegedly,
members of the Presidents own
family, they can only wait, hope and
guess.

Argentine Pact Snags.

most numerous and vociferous COM
plainants. Flax growers are not far
behind. Our livestock industry and
producers of casein, talloW, oleo Oil
and dog food are also fearful of the
consequences of customs cuts for the
benefit of Argentine competitors
According to the authoritative Farm
Journal, the National Cooperative
Milk Producers Association, repre-
senting $4,000 dairy farmers, has
filed monster brief opposing nearly
every single item on the State De-
partment's proposed list of tariff
reductions, While the National

cattle breeders, will fight from hell

 Indications that the Polish government is planning to evacuate Warsaw and make its headquarters in some other city reached the United Press today in heavily cen- sored dispatches from the Polish capital.
 The German armies re- ported that they had smashed their way into the rich Silesian industrial dis trict, capturing the key city of Kattowice, and had thrust downward from East Prussia on a front less than 50 miles north of Warsaw. Nazi planes continued regu- lar bombardment of the Fol- ish capital, where many fires were started by incendiary bombs.
 These sledge hammer blows against the Polish de- lenses were followed by dis patches reporting the depart ure of U. S. Ambassador Afl- thony J. Drexel Riddle and his family from Warsaw. It was understood the British embassy staff would depart for an unannounced destina- ton.
