GERMAN PLANE
 DISAPPEARS IN
 MED|TERRA
Mystery Shrouds Fdfe of Ten Passengers and
 Grew of Ndzi Ship

BERLIN, Feb. 25.-Lufthansa ma jor German aviation company, has announced that plane carrying ten passengers and crew has been lost somewhere in the Mediterranean on a special flight from Germany.
 It is undetermined where the plane went down, but the company said merely that the ship had gone"
 First news of the planes flight came from Lands End, England, where a radio station picked up an Italian station message saying the German ship had not reached it's destination.
 It is believed, actually, that the plane left the Balearic Islands, a group of five islets off the Spanish Coast, where that locale has been the scene of much aviation activity during the Spanish war, last Friday.

FIVE GENT WORD NEEDED
 MEANING ISOLATION FROM
 WAR, NOT FROM NEIGKB0RS
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24. = Part of Washington's present entangle- ment over entangling alliances is due. observers here believe, to mis- understanding of terms.
 No one recently has taken the trouble to explain fully the differ ence between policy of "isola- tion" and policy of avoiding "en- tangling alliances"
 There was a time when some of the leaders of the country, notably John Adams, preferred complete isolation. Lamenting the insistence of hardy American mariners on trading with all nations, he said.
 If all intercourse between Europe and America could be cut off for ever, if every ship we have were burnt, and the keel of another never to be laid, we might still De the happiest people on earth, and in fifty years, the most powerful.

NEW PURGE
 OF JEWERY
 IN BERLIN
Order Issued for Emigra- lion of 100 Jews Each
 Week-Sfarts Monday

BERLIN, Feb 25.-Police today acted to speed the emigration of Jews by serving notice to this city's Jewish community that it must each day furnish names of 100 Jews, who then will be required to leave the country within two weeks.
 The order becomes effective Mon day
 Jews, caused added consternation by the measure, said they had hop ed to be able to straighten out their affairs before being forced to leave.
 Police said as soon as 100 names are furnished, necessary deductions for taxes on the billion mark fine levied last November will be taken from fortunes of nominees.
 The fine was levied after the kill ling of Ernst Con Rath in the Paris Nazi embassy.
 A special levy will also be made for the support of aged Jews unable to emigrate.

OIL SLICK CLUE PUTS HAIDA ON
 NEW PLANE TRY

Running down one more lead of the lost Marine Airways plane, mis- sing now for IA days, the United States Coast Guard cutter Haida cleared from the Government wharf at 10 o'clock this morning in res- ponse to message received from a gasboat who reported seeing oil slick on the water near Wyndam Bay.
 The latest clue appears some 45 miles to the southward of the Grand Island area where Pilot Lon Cope last radioed his position.
 According to U. s. Commissioner Felix Gray, the government boat will survey this section of water and proceed across Stephens passage to Pybus Bay and Gambler Bay for more searching.
 After patrolling the Bay sectors the craft will proceed up the East shore of Glass Peninsula for a thor ough survey once again of the waters they have canvassed repeatedly dur ing the past fortnight.
 The boat will return to Juneau either Sunday night or Monday morning.
 Party of 16 searchers aboard the Fisheries flagship Brant are still on the site conducting their survey. They are expected to return to Ju- neau tonight.
 Alex Holden, Chief Pilot of Mar inc Airways, was over the search area for two hours this morning with his obseryor Martin Feist, in the wheel equipped Fairchild.

AN ALLIANCE EVEN THEN

But even in those years the coun- try was forced to abandon any such idea of isolation and engage in hard and fast entangling alli- ance. To obtain aid from France this country pledged itself jointly with France that neither would end the war against England with out giving the other six months notice. It was a commitment that Yankee leaders entered into rue fully and finally violated by sign ing a peace treaty without full knowledge of France, although there were no bitter feelings about it at the time
 That was just about the last "en- tangling alliance" this country has made. But it has been anything but isolationist Some of our com mercial treaties date back a hun dred years and more. We have treaties of sanitation, armament, copyrights, commerce and culture
 Every such treaty has been a step away from isolation" But has this type of arrangement led toward "entangling alliances" of the kind Washington cautioned against? Tn his Chautauqua speech dur ing 1886, President Roosevelt ex- plained the administration view point:
 we are not isolationist except insofar as we seek to isolate our selves completely from war"
