In determined effort to stamp out
the nuisance caused by persons close
ly following the Milford fire truck
while enroute to fires, Laurence Tur-
ner, a young colored man of Milford,
was arrested and brought before Mag
istrate David A. Clements, charged
with interfering with and impeding
the progress of the fire truck while
enroute to a fire on Memorial Day.
Young Turner was fined $1,000 and
costs. The firemen and police are CO.

MT. VERNON RESIDENT
KILLS BLACK SNAKES

An unusual experience occurred on
the farm of Sam Bounds in Mt. Yer
non on Wednesday of last week when
Mrs. Bounds who was working in the
house, was attracted by an unusual
commotion caused by several birds in
tree outside. Looking up the ivy
covered maple, Mrs. Bounds saw two
black snakes.
Taking her post by the door Mrs.
Bounds kept sight on the reptiles un-
til her husband returned from the
berry field who with the aid of his
shotgun brought the snakes to the
ground. One measured feet inch
es long and the other A feet 9 inches.
The following Friday one of the
strawberry pickers called Mr.. Bounds
attention to another snake up the
same tree, which when killed was
found to be a black runner 6 feet
long.

BIDS RECEIVED FOR
THREE-SPAN BRIDGE

The Maryland State Roads Commits
sion received bids on Wednesday, on
the construction of new bridge over
Big Elk creek in Elkton, which will
be a link in the proposed new dual
highway, connecting Route 40 with
the Delaware dual highway three
miles east of Elkton.
The bridge will consist of three
spans, continuous deck plate girders
supported by concrete substructure on
pile foundations. The new bridge will
be about 300 yards west of the pres
ent bridge across the creek, now a
link to the Eastern Shore highway.
Hundreds of citizens of Elkton and
vicinity made strong protest to the
War Department against permission
being granted to the Commission to
bridge the waterway at a point where
it will be built, alleging that it would
have a reterrant effect on industries
locating in Elkton. Permission was
held up for nearly year, but was
finally granted after a second public
hearing.

NEGROES ASSAULT
white MAN In
NORTHAMPTON

Jack Burroughs and Walter Jarvis,
colored,, were lodged in the Northamp-
ton County Jail by Sheriff George T.
Turner following their arrest for al
legged assault of George Ames, white,
of Cherrystone, near Eastville.
Young Mr.. Ames, representative of
an industrial insurance company en-
tered "The Big Apple" negro tavern,
collected from the hostess, Mary Rus
sells, and was preparing to, leave when
Burroughs stepped up and expressed
resentment that Mr.. Ames had not ad-
dressed the proprietress as "Miss Rus
SELL" Mr.. Ames passed off the re-
mark and hurried to his car, only to
be followed by the negro who, be-
coming infuriated, choked the white
man almost to insensibility. The in
surance man reached for his gun,
which contained only one bullet and
fired, striking the negro in the shoul-
der. Meanwhile Jarvis appearing on
the scene, seized the weapon from Mr..
Ames, who managed to escape and
make his way some yards down the
road, only to be overtaken by Bur-
roughs who engaged him in second
struggle. Finally freeing himself
from the negro's clutches Mr.. Ames
reached James Filling Station few
hundred yards distant and notified the
police.
Jarvis gave himself up to authori-
ties early next morning, denied any
Connection with the alteration, other
than in the role of peacemaker. Later
in the day Sheriff Turner, assisted by
Deputy John Read Womble and Ser
geant Giles C. Upshur arrested Bur-
roughs.
The two negroes are being held for
hearing pending the outcome of Ames'
injuries, which are not considered ser
ious.

ceed to the next stage of their plans,
which call for widespread sabotage in
industrial plants across the Dominion,
and for the dynamiting of central power
stations and the Gripping, also by dy-
namiting, of rail communications.
While some circles on Parliament Hill
are disposed to be incredulous Of the
reported Mounted Police discoveries and
to treat them as fantastic, 1t is obvious
that the federal authorities are not do
ing so. The enlisting Of a secret" or
shadow" industrial police force to be
available for anti-riot service is being
pushed in all the more important CEN
ters. And special officers from the
"Mounties" are being detailed to drill
the new recruits, instill military disci-
pline into them, and instruct them in
revolver practice.
The new force is selected from the
ranks of industry and is wholly volun-
teer one, with its members receiving
no pay. The idea of the government is
that, through it, corps of "vigilantes"
from among the workers themselves
will be Immediately available In the fu-
ture to meet any threat Of sabotage or
disruption against Canadian industry BY
slbversive elements.

is ended Parliament should demand
some enlightenment to justify the 'se-
cret" or shadow" police force that is now
being enlisted, the government has inti-
mated that it will reveal at least part
Of the situation that has come to its
knowledge. And in the event that the
veil is lifted, the authorities have warned
that the scene of subversive activities py
Communist and Nazi workers in the
Dominion that will be discovered will
be of a sensational character.
Broadly speaking, the activities of both
organizations have been in the urban
and industrial centers of the Dominion,
with Montreal, Toronto, Hamilton,
Windsor, Winnipeg and Vancouver the
cities in which they are best organized.
In these centers, however, plans for
both NaZi and Communist "coups" are
declared to have been found, worked
out in elaborate detail. The intention
of the agitators in practically all cases,
government circles reveal, has been to
mask their disorders under the guise of
labor disputes.
With civil disorder accomplished by

Canada Cuds to Meet Nazi Thrusts

OTTAWA.-The scarlet-coated Royal
Canadian Mounted Police, who tradi-
tionally always get their men," are be-
ing given credit in Canadian parlia-
mentary circles for the greatest round
up in their colorful history.
The "Mounties" have delivered to
the federal authorities, after several
months of exhaustive and highly in
genious investigations, fully documented
details Of sensational Nazi and Commu-
nistic plottings against peace and order
in the Dominion.
AS direct result of their discoveries,
the Canadian government, without any
delay, has set about to recruit a special
shadow" police force or anti-riot squad
in industrial plants and centers across
the Dominion-with the intention that
this force shall be available in any
crisis of civil emergency.
Meanwhile, for the present, the gov
ernment is refraining from publishing
the details of the findings made by the
Mounted Police, on the grounds that the
inquiries are still in progress and that
no step should be taken to possibly him
der them at the present juncture.

Canned Human Blood
Saving Russian Lives

MOSCOW, P.-Canned human b!eod
dropped from the sky by parachute, is
saving lives in Soviet Russia.
Experience has shown that preserved
blood, sealed in special containers, can
be rushed to an isolated district by air
plane and dropped into a surgeon S
hands in less time than it would take
him to find suitable donor for q
TRANSMISSION operation.
Soviet medical authorities take great
pride in the progress achieved here in
the practical application and theory of
blood TRANSMISSION. Leading in research
in this field is the Moscow Central In
stitute of Haemathology and Blood
TRANSMISSION, while Leningrad, Minsk,
Kiev, Kharkov and several other cities
have similar research institutes.
In addition to such facilities for re-
search there are 10 blood TRANSMISSION
centers and $40 auxiliary stations
equipped to supply blood for trans
fusion.
According to Soviet statistics a record
of 100000 transfusions of preserved
blood in this country has demonstrated
that canned blood is just as effective
in restoring patients strength as blood
from the veins Of a live donor.
Not only cadaver blood is utilized in
this way. Some blood for canning
is obtained from patients whose trouble
is surplus of blood. The blood taken
from them to relieve their plethoric con-
dition is Systematically collected. Under
the methods presently employed here,
such blood retains its efficacy for Is
days.
The annual total of blood transfusions
of all kinds has increased enormously
in the Soviet Union during the past
decade. In 1882, statistics show; there
were only 2,400, as compared with about
10000 in 1887
Sometimes goats blood is used Trans
fused in small doses it has been Sue
cessfully employed in many cases Of
stomach ulcer.
A beginning also has been made in
the preservation of human skin for skim
transplantation cases. At the Gorky
Institute for Experimental Medicine
more than 20 cases of long-standing
ulcer have been reported healed through
grating Of cadaver skin.

BUENOS AiRES.-Trade relations be-
tween the United States and Argen-
tina have reached critical and danger
solution is not found they are likely to
arouse public opinion in both countries
and strai1 political relations between
the Yankees of the North and the
Yankees of the South. That is the aim
of hundreds of German agents.
Argentina is discriminating against the
United States in favor of Germany
Great Britain and some dozen other
countries with whom she has special
trade and exchange arrangements such
as she has not negotiated with the
United States. Her measures are more
discriminatory than those of Germany
and Australia, whom we have black
listed
Argentina took measures in 1888
against American firms and by requiring
prior permits for the transfer of pesos
into dollars made the purchaser of Amer
ican goods pay from II to 16 per cent
more for his exchange than European
competitors who changed their currency
at an arbitrary rate afforded by the Ar
gentine government.
Argentina took further measures in
1885,. which increased this surcharge to
20 per cect. The Argentine public con-
tinued to buy American automobiles
radios, electric refrigerators and the like
despite the. fact that the cheaper Euro
pean articles enjoyed an additional 20
per cent cut in price effected by the ex-
change policy of Buenos Aires.
Ban Placed on 100 Articles.
In December, 1888, Argentina pro-
hibited entirely the importation OF some
100 articles which constitute the bulk
e our sales to that country. After five
years of discrimination Argentina took
step which could have no purpose ex-
cept to reduce by more than s25 900, 900
a year american sales and arrange the
purchase of those articles from Germany
and other European countries enjoying
special favors.
Finally in February 1899, senor Crop
po, the Argentine minister of finance,

and Ford are big enough to cut down
pay rolls and take it, but 1t will be
tremendous wallop.
The average American concern in
Argentina is not big enough. Denied
the right to bring in their goods for
six months, concerns which do busi-
ness OF 100000 year or less will be
ruined. They will fold up with a 100
per cent loss.
I talked with scores of Americans who
lace ruin because there is no way for
them to get in articles for which the
Argentine public is clamoring. but which
the Argentine government has pro-
hibited outright or placed on a quota.
The United States enjoys two ad-
vantages in trade with the Argentine.
The quality of the goods is superior and
the Argentine, like the Yankee of the
North says, Damn the cost; if it's good
I want it." The second advantage.
equally important is the fact that Amer
ican concerns have the kind of sales
organization which shows the buyer that
the American article is superior Amer
lean sales forces reach the Argentine
public.
Germany deals directly with the Ar
gentine government, but cannot over
come the American sales advantage and
persuade the Argentine that he ought
to buy the very articles which his gov
ernment's policy forces him to buy. If
the present temporary" situation can
be continued until American firms fold
up, then German. will have removed
the last obstacle to clean sweep.
Now the situation which produced
this commercial crisis was not engineered
deliberately by Argentina. The first
measures in that direction were enforced
upon her by circumstances beyond her
control. Like the Balkan countries in
which Germany has played so much
havoc, Argentina was a producer of pri-
mary products and when world prices
went against her she had a serious ex-
change problem and the British led her
into the dangerous path of compensa-
ton trade.
