his bird limitations the haunting

but hereafter he will confine

knocking bird in a nearby tree.
The mocker replied in kind
and concluded his rebuttal by
flying down and picking up a
pair of glasses Given's wife had
laid on table, carefully draping
them on a limb. AS the mocker
cnirruped triurnphantly, Given

WASHINGTON. June 30.-
There's a big scramble in the
nations capital today as both
houses of Congress strive valiant
" 10 pass four so-called must
bills. and such will be the scram-
bic and necessity for passage that
the time-honored custom of push
ing the clock back at midnight
tonight win be engaged in so that
various activities of the federal
government will not be curtailed.
The four bills scheduled for
final action tonight are: /. The
Relief bill. 2. The Monetary bill,
3. The 1910 Appropriations bill
for the State and Justice depart
ments. and 4. The Emergency
Deficiency bill.
At noon today reports indicat-
ed that the total Relief bill as de-
cided upon in House and Senate
conferences would be $l,755, 0O0,-
600 for the coming fiscal year.

Meanwhile, two important
policies of future government be-

bill.
The Tax Revision act goes far.
il is said, in relieving pressure on

throughout Nazi.land today. as
the eyes of the world are focused
on the situation that may or may
not mean war in capital letters.
Adolf Hitler is scheduled 10

Gals released through the ma
tons press today the accusation
against Germany for using usual
boring from within" tactics in
connection with the campaign to
bring the city of Danzig and the
Polish Corridor under the Nazi
swastika.
The German machinery of
armament seems geared to a
war. either local one with Po-
land or a general conflict. All
commerce, according to high Nazi
officials, is prepared to change
over to a war status and the
army and navy are prepared for

according to high authority over
here.
Germany hears the stern re-
proofs from England and the Nazi
command declares that Geffiany's
army is second to nonE, and pro-
z =
ceeds for further conquasts. Fu-
ture developments, according to
good authority, will depend upon
whether the Germans will come
to believe that the combined
armies of France and England
with Poland. and possibly Rus
STA, if treaties are completed in
time. will overshadow the dual
German-Italian strength.
Neutral observers are inclined
to believe that Hitler has definite
knowledge of the truth of that
condition.
From England comes the hint
that President Roosevelt has
again offered to act in the ca
pacity of peace maker" if for
eign nations will lay down their
arms and come together in con-
ferences. State department heads
in the u. S. deny that any such
new move has been made, though
attention is called to the original
invitation made by Roosevelt
last Spring.
