Coventry made sweeping searches
for I. r. A. sympathizers. Several
were under detention.
In view of the delicately-balanced
European situation, particular sig
nificance was attached today to a
long editorial entitled Efforts for
Peace" which appeared in the au-
thoritative Times.
The newspaper, which often re-
meets government views, praised
President Roosevelts peace appeals
and suggested his proposal for di-
rect negotiation between Poland
and Germany over their dispute is
the obvious one which might con-
ceivably be accepted, and which GER
tainly ought to be accepted, by the
Reich"
The Times added, ut is the nor
NAL way of settling differences be-
tween civilized nations, and the
Polish government have more than
once expressed their readiness to
discuss any solution of the Danzie
problem that does not impair their
vital rights in the city state. BIZ
lateral negotiation is also a method
which has been consistently favored
by the British government, whose
Intervention in the first instance
was partly prompted by the desire
to render 1t possible upon equal
terms"

ing at Smithsburg He spent a
great deal of his time with these
men and was infatuated with their
talk about the Bloody Reds" the
name by which the First Hose lads
were then known. The men talk
ed enthusiastically of a firemens
parade to be held in Hagerstown,
Of the bright uniforms that would
be worn and of the glorious time
they would have. This fired the
enthusiasm of Mr.. Bike, and when
the time came he walked to town
to see the demonstration. This
was in 1856 and he was about 16
years old. The entire day he
marched around town close to the
Bloody Reds" and was one of
their most ardent admirers. He
says it was a great event in his
life. In the evening he walked back
home. In 1868 when he moved to
HagerstOWn one of the first things
he did was to enroll his name as
a Bloody Red" His name has
been there ever since. Mr.. Bike
says this is one of the things of
which he is very proud"
