Believed to have been discovered
by Columbus in 1902, and named for
the martyred St. Lucy, burned at
the stake, st. Lucia was for
centuries drenched in blood. The
first two English settlements of 1905
and 1888 were wiped out by Carib
natives. French colonists were able
to make peace with the natives, but
not with the English, who returned
in 1868 and again took the island.

st. Lucia has been described as hav-
ing two killers to contend with-its
climate and the dreaded fer-de-
lance, six or seven-foot snake that
often strikes without warning, and
for whose bite no cure is certain.
To-day, however, both enemies
are well under control, since un-
healthful climate is mostly limited
to marshy lowlands, and a check
mate for the fer-de-lance has been
found in the East Indian mongoose,
an imported natural foe which has
greatly reduced the ranks of these

COUNTY OFFICER
SENDS in BILL
COMMITTEE TO TAKE UP
MATTER RELATIVE
TO PAYMENT

Usual bin for $325 remunera-
ton for Tax. Assessor ]. Otto
Kirchheiner was presented at the
meeting of county commissioners
last night and a question arose as
to whether the money was due
or the provisions for the pay
ments of this amount monthly
had been nullified by a bill re-
Gently passed by the Legislature.
Up until June IL. 1889. the pay
of the tax assessor had been 81
400 with an additional $500 for
expenses. However, it was
shown that that arrangement was
killed by the bin passed on June
IL. and therefore the bill was not
correct.
Chairman Bervaldi appointed
committee consisting of Com
missi0ners Monsalvatge and Cur

up the matter with Mr.. Kirch-
heiner and arrive At some under

WAR TENSION

BRITISH FEEL NO CAUSE FOR
WAR NOW EXISTED IN
EUROPE
fIlr AnaocIntea Pressl

7 LONDON, July 6.-Britain's
reported strong stand in the Ger
mani Polish dispute over Danzig
was tempered today when it was
announced that the British par
lament will consider that mo
cause for war exists" if the
transfer Of Danzig 20 Germany
can be effected without undue
military action.
Thus the ground is laid for
another coupe-detat by Hitler,
according to expert opinion. It
is stated that present lines of
propaganda and action being I'M
dertaken by Germany will, in all
likelihood bring Danzig and the
Polish Corridor under German
influence by Fall.
A show of strong position goes
forward, however. as London an
nounces the establishment of
$500, 100000 credit accounts for
Poland and small Balkan states.
Home defenses on the British
Isles continue to be strengthened
as the air corps reservists are be-
ing called for mobilization.
Germany is reported to be
casting eyes to the East" as
Rumania reports various activi-
ties by German agents in their
country. This condition is cause
for more alarm on the part of
England as a pact exists which
guarantees Rritish aid in case of
aggression committed against
Rumania. Rumania has 100000
trained men in arms at present
and could muster two million
should the occasion occur.

WASHINGTON, July 6. -
Thousands of WPA workers walk
ed off from their jobs yesterday
in protest to the new schedule of
working hours and salaries re-
Gently enacted into law with the
relief bill passed by CONGRESS last
week WPA officials pointed out
however, that the incidents were
not to be considered as strikes"
as that word is not recognized in
the administration of relief.
A blanket order went out from
national headquarters reminding
all state departments of the five
day rule which states that when
a worker deliberately walks off
the job he is given no more than
five days to return or his name
is stricken from the rolls.
Main subject for protest by
workers was the new provision
calling for approximately the
same wage scale for 100 hours of
work a month, when but so or so
hours was required before.
Some areas reported upwards
of eighty per cent of WPA
laborers refusing to work yester-
day, though reports indicated a
large percentage of them back on
the job this morning
