Peace Planes To
Bomb State With
Anti-war Blanks
A Minneapolis Newspaper
Gives People A Chance to
Express Selves.

That the citizenry of Minnesota
might express against war, fleet
of 80 airplanes from Minneapolis will
sweep over the state Friday to "bom-
bard" communities of every size with
appeals to keep this nation out of
the European war.
It is not known at what time the
planes will spread their wings over
Pine county, but at some time dur
ing the day people in this section
can expect to see rain from the sky
petitions upon which can be reg
istered a protest against war.
The planes will soar away from
the Minneapolis airport at a. m
bearing hundreds of thousands of the
Minneapolis Times-Tribune peace
pleas, which will flutter down on
cities, towns and villages along their
routes.
First swinging over the Twin Cities
in formation under the leadership OF
Shorty DePonti, veteran pilot, the
peacetime armada will then scatter,
with each plane streaking away on
its own bombing" mission.
Veterans of 20 years flying, instruc-
tors and pilots who fly for recrea-
ton volunteered to join in the most
spectacular flight of its kind ever
to take place in the northwest
Among them are Elmer Hinck and
A. c. McInnis.
L. D. Hammond, Minneapolis air.
port manager, will fly in the first
plane and will signal for the mass
takeoff.
A reproduction of the petitions is
printed elsewhere in this issue and

clip out and sign these petitions and
return them to this newspaper, which
will forward them to the Minneapolis
Times Tribune.
The Minneapolis Times-Tribune, in
turn, will send the petitions on to

make the greatest possible impress
sion on Congress.

selling at $500 to $3.50 or Csc to 75c

clined sharply in sympathy.
Receipts again increased with the
arrival of seasonally large shipments
of western grassers and the opening
of the fourth quota for Canadian i'm
ports. About rs cars of grassy Cana
dian cattle arrived on the first two
days of trading while more than zoe

Prices worked lower under the weight

Million Adult Pike
In Three State Lakes

Three of Minnesota'S more than
10000 lakes-Winnibigoshish, Big and
Little Cut Foot Sioux-contain $685.
296 walleyed pike, according to a
paper by DR.. Samuel Eddy and
Jerome H. Stoudt, read before the
Fourth North American Wildlife Con-
ference held in Detroit, Mich, this
year, the report of which has just
been issued. The subject of the paper
was, "Walleyed Pike Study, 1887 and
1888, Chippewa National Forest"
DR.. Eddy is associate professor of
zoology at the University of Mime
sofa, specializing in fish, and Mr..
Stoudt is connected with the U. 5.
forest service, at Cass Lake. They
outlined the results of a fish tagging
study in these lakes, begun in 1887
by the forest service in cooperation
with the university. The Minnesota
department of conservation's game
and fish division and resort owners
in the region where these lakes are
located-Itasca county-cooperated IN
the study.
Data obtained, the investigators re-
ported, indicate that the annual loss
to adult walleyes is less than Is
percent; and that the loss due to
other causes than legal fishing is 1O.5
percent. On that basis, the conclu-
sion was arrived at that the loss of
smaller age classes must be extremely
high.
It was estimated that of the close
to one million adult pike in these
lakes, 54,953 were legally caught in
1888, although fishing was poor that
year owing to abnormally high water.

News Review
By GEORG STRANDVOLD

Tomorrow or Saturday the Reich
stag-the German parliament
meet in Berlin. This puppet show
is staged only when Germany's
"Fuehrer," Adolf Hitler has some
thing of Importance to tell; there is
no debate, no opposition, no vote;
members are merely listeners and
silent yes-men.
Hitler may have something of i'm
portance to report upon, and on the
contents of his speech may hinge the
immediate future of Europe.
He wants peace, and he thinks the
time opportune for offering it, for
he has destroyed Poland and, accord
ing to his way of reasoning, then
Great Britain and France who went
to war for the purpose of defending
Poland-and didn't defend it!-should
be in pacific mood.

Accordingly, Hitler summoned to
the chancellor palace in Berlin Gale
ago Ciano, Mussolini's son-in-law
and foreign minister, and asked him
to convey to his chief this message
not in exactly those words, but this
was the purport of it:
please, offer peace negotiations to
London and Paris! Germany is ready
to talk about it and considers con-
tlnued war a senseless and cruel
thing. Now we present as an &C
complished fact a Poland which ex-
lists no more, so now is the time to
stop fighting. If London and Paris
want to go on; if they do not want
to conclude or even talk about peace
all right then! In that case Ger
many will unleash all her tremen-
dous war power and crush Great
Britain and France; in that case there
will be no mercy shown; no limits
will be recognized. 1t will be war to
the bitterest end!"
It was limited in Berlin that Hit
Ter plans to concentrate his efforts
on destroying the British fleet and
the British merchant marine and thus
make impossible a continuation of
the British blockade of Germany.
And there were further dark hints
to the effect that if peace offers were
not acceptable at the Thames and
at the Seine, there might be posi-
bility of Soviet Russia and Italy STEP
