LENDING BILL
GET5THR0UCH
UPPER HOUSE
Funds Are Reduced for
Lodns-Eeonomy Bloc
Scores Triumph

WASHINGTON. Aug. l. The
Senate late yesterday passed the
Administrations Lending Bill after
reducing the proposed loans by one
billion dollars.
The final vote on the entire bill
with amendments was So to %.
The bill was reduced from ST.
80O0O0,000 to $1,615, 100000.
Although the Democrat-Republi-
can coalition, the economy bloc, was
beaten on the final vote, reductions
represented the bloc's greatest tri-
umph since the New Deal began.
PROBABLY KILLED, HOUSE
WASHINGTON, Aug /. The
House refused to consider the Adj
ministration's billion, nine hundred
and fifty million dollar Lending
Bill.
This decision, according to some
members, has killed the measure
for this session.
The vote was 1913 against con-
sideration to 164 in favor.
A coalition of Democrats and
Republicans successfully fought the
adoption of the resolution setting
forth the procedure for formal
consideration.
The bill passed the Senate late
yesterday but in somewhat diff
ferent form from the one sub,
mitted
Rejection of the bill impelled
several members to predict ad-
journment will follow with a rush
but over in the Senate, however,
majority leader Barley said the
odds and ends of business might
keep Congress in session until Aug
uSt 9.

An ALLIGATOR

then made a jump and landed on
the alligator's back. Quickly he
reached down and seized the fore
limbs of the alligator and drew them
back. This gave him something
to hang to, and he needed 1.-THE
did not have what any one could
call safe seat!
The alligator dashed with its tail,
but the man was too far to the
front to be reached. At this mo-
ment he called to the men on the
shore to pull on the rope, but at
first they did not hear him because
they were cheering so loudly.
At last they pulled on the rope
and the alligator was drawn up on
the bank. Waterton had a ride of
about 40 feet.
His companions soon tied a rope
around the alligator's Jaws and also
on the tail. Then the animal was
placed in boat and Waterton took
it away.

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

Crocodiles and alligators do not
differ great deal. In outward form
they look nearly the same, except
that the alligator has a broader
snout, and its jaws are not quite so
long. Both animals have rows of
sharp teeth in their jaws; the teeth
are nearly, but not exactly, the same
in the alligator as in the crocodile.
The so-called "cayman" of South
America is classed as an alligator
1t is found chiefly in the Amazon
Valley and is fairly common in
some parts of the Guianas.
Charles Waterton, an English
traveller in British Guiana, once took
1t into his head to capture a cay
man alligator alive. He was at the
time camping beside river, with
three Negroes and four Indians as
companions.
One of the Indians baited hook
and what hook it was! The In
dian had made it with pieces of
wood. and it had crosspiece about
a foot wide. Fastened to it was a
long, strong rope. and the hook was
held up by a stick which was stuck
in the river bottom. The hook
dangled about a foot above the
rivers surface.
In the late afternoon along came
an alligator and snapped at the
hook. He swallowed it. or at least
got it in his mouth so far it would
not come out.
The Indians knew something about

Mr.. Bayly
The bidding:
North East South West
- Pass 2NT Pass

The final contract was quite OPP
timistic, but Mr.. Bayly certainly
played 1t well. The queen of hearts
was opened. Declarer won with
dummy's king and went right after
the diamonds. West won with the
ace and played another heart. Mr..
Bayly discarded club from dunn
my, won with the ace and now ran
his diamond suit. Since the hand
would produce only ten tricks in high
cards. Mr.. Bayly decided to assume
that the club flnesse would work.
When East first discarded two hearts
and then a spade. Mr. Bayly was
sure he held four clubs. Hence
his three discards on the diamonds
were, in order, low heart, low
spade and a low club Now he
played club from dummy, finessed
the jack and cashed the king.
At this point West, who originally
had held four hearts and three
spades, was hopelessly squeezed,
since Mr.. Bayly had been careful to
retain the four-spot of hearts in
his own hand In desperation West
unguarded his queen of spades,
whereupon Mr.. Bayly made the rest

the dangers of trying to handle a
live alligator, even If it did have a
big hook in its mouth, and they
asked Waterton to shoot it. He
would not do so, since he wanted
to take it back to England alive,
On the other hand, he was not sure
how it would be best to finish the
work of capture.
The animal was only a few feet
from the bank. Waterton gave the

diplomatic leaders declared the Nazi
government takes the position that
Germany's attack on Poland was
provoked primarily by Poland's gen.
eral mobilization order while Chan
cellor Hitler sought to negotiate In
Berlin.
DR.. Karl Won Strempel, first Sec
retary Of the embassy, received re-
porters-some of whom had been
waiting since 5 a.m.-shorly before
10 am. He said it was possible q
statement on possible additional in
formation might be given out later
in the day.

said, was almost identical with the
appeals made by President Roosevelt
to possible belligerent powers.
DIR. Won Stremple, asked If ne be-
lieved negotiations between Ger
many and Poland were still possible
in view Of hostilities that already
have occurred, replied: I'VE like to
be optimistic about those things"
Well-informed Nazi leaders here
expressed the opinion the Polish
people, impressed by Germany's afr
power and army in the sudden at
tacks early today, might attempt to
prevail on their government to ap-
peal for negotiation of German

support repeal in view of the crisis
that has developed. He said he ex-

the vote that blocked such action at
the last session was 214 to 173.
If Congress is not called into spe-

lieved repeal would come in any
event in January. The House COM
mittee chairman was not prepared
to say whether today's events are
sufficient to warrant President
Roosevelt's calling Congress imme-
diately.
He would not comment on whether
an immediate call is advisable be-
cause he said he does not have suf-
ficient information as to what the
actual situation is in Europe.

The Poll Book for the registra ton of voters for the annual City election, is now open in the office of the City Clerk. The FL ection will take place on Tues day, April 4, when the voters will be called upon to elect a mayor, councilman, city attorney city clerk, city treasurer, and one member to the Nome school board.
 As yet no one has announced their intention of being a candi- date for any office, altho, there are underground wires working quietly, it is reported, to dislodge this one and that one from office. However the best way to thwart the plans of the schemers, is for all citizens to register their nam es on the city poll book, and then when it comes time to cast your ballot, do what you think is best in the interest of the city, in which you make your home and living. Register now.

OF course. there were exceptions.
Culturally the Bohemian intellectual
is the equal of any man. But to out
siders his own language is practically
unknown, and so he must depend on
German, English and French translators
"to tell the world" The Germans, in
this respect have performed good serv-
ice. Some Czechs themselves, of course,
speak and write excellent German.
There was Frantisek Palacky Q798-
1870, one of the worlds outstanding his
torians. Having studied at German uni
versities he published the first volume
of his History of the Bohemian
People" in the German language. The
succeeding four tones, as a protest
against the oppressive Austro-G German
government, were printed in Czech.
OF this performance says a German
writer: I'm regard to research, critical
attitude, style and descriptive powers it
is a work of the highest scientific i'm
portance.'

Comments on Living
Conditions Abroad.
To the Editor of The Stal

To the Editor of The Star:
You carried lately few lines regarding
human migrations. After all, the immi-
grafton restriction fight is struggle to
maintain our American living standards,
the worlds highest.
Compare our wage standard with
Chinas. In China journeyed in some
places by wheelbarrow. 1t was, engineers
said, the perfect vehicle for Chinese
roads. Coolies cost cents daily. One
was warned not to pay more. A 10-cent
tip avalanched a swarm of hungry coolies
upon me. Later, attempting to traverse
the Himalayan passes into Tibet, the
daily wage again was cents. In East
Europe, within year, also found coolie
living standards. Women earned II cents
for an eight-hour day. Five cents means
intense misery for these Sudeten Ger
mans. In forest clearings, one found
them gathering wild raspberry leaves
These, dried, would yield hot tea next
winter. Some said they had had neither
tea nor coffee since the World War closed
In striving to understand European con-
ditions, one is helped by such facts as
these. c. M. GOETHE.
