MILLIONS OF
AMERICAN CASH
in GERMANY
Money Enables Hitler To Carry
On War Against Britain
And France

Several hundred million dollars of
American capital invested in huge
American branch factories in Ger
many are helping Reichsfuhrer Hitler
to carry on his war against Britain
and France and are causing some I'M
easiness among high officials in Wash
ington.
The situation is leading to careful
inquiry into the policy Of establish
ment of American factories.
The plants, branches Of vast cor
porations like General Motors, Ford
and National Cash Register, were
constructed before the Nazis came in
to power. In 1888, a reliable author
ity estimates, they were valued at
$500, 100000.
Since then their valuation has
greatly declined owing to numerous
Nazi restrictions on operations and
profits and a prohibition against the
export of their profits to the United
States. Nevertheless, some Of them
are still tremendous plants employing
thousands of workmen.
In the last few years the German
Government has placed overseers in
the plants with such wide powers that
there is a question in official quar-
tiers at Washington as to whether the
factories are actually under American
control.
Before the war began, they were
thoroughly integrated into the Ger
man economic system and are now
working, just as are German factor
les, in producing whatever materials
are required for the pursuance of the
war.
The Administration was concerned
about the plants even before the war
started. The chief reason was the
fact that products from the plants
were competing seriously with goods
made in America. Originally, the

THE MOTORIST
IS WARNED OF
PASSING A BUS
Law Requires Cars To Stop AS
School Buses Are Loading
And Unloading

The motoring public would do well
to remember that the law provides a
penalty for a failure to halt their cars,
whenever school bus is taking on or
discharging pupils. There is a fine
of not less than S. nor more than $50
for such failure.
The operator Of the bus is furnish
ed with card on which he is to make
notations of violations. This card
contains the date, time, road, front
or rear passage, tag number, location,
and statement of the nearest town or
city. The operator signs his name
and address, sends his report to the
Commissioner of Motor Vehicles and
he takes action.
Observance Of this regulation should
not be made simply to evade fine
There is a far more important reas-
on-the life, possibly-of a school
child, and from this motive rather
than from punitive standpoint, driv-
ers should be careful.

This years contest, according to the
Western Auto Supply Company, has
been the most successful to date with
thousands of fishermen registering in

contest was reported from Florida and
weighed Is pounds, two ounces. All
four Florida prize winners weighed
more than IA pounds. The smallest
prize-winning bass, registered in IL

ounces.
Of interest is the fact that six Of
the winners were women, while sew
eral prizes were won by minors, in
dicating the widespread popularity OF
fishing as a sport among women and
boys and girls as well as men.
In appreciation of the interest
shown by the nations fishermen in
making the 1889 contest success.
Western Auto officials are already
forming plans for the company's four

contest will probably start as usual
about May Is, continuing until Sep

comoke the fire was soon brought I'M

the German and nearby markets, but
the German economic authorities fore

tries fighting Germany and may also
be assisting those countries in prose
cutting the war.

Eloise, on the couch, hugged her
knees and surveyed her gold slip
pers. "They are putting my pic
ture in the paper and Adelaide's.
They saw one on my desk"
Mrs. Laramore cried out, Ben
ny, why did you let her do it?" and
there was great uproar-in which
Eloise could be heard saying:
"And they are going to have a
picture of the Inn, and one of your
brother ii they can get it, Miss
Barnes"
Jane began to feel uncomforta-
BILE. She was, she told herself, as
much out of place as pussy-cat in
Zoo. These women and these men
reminded her somehow of the great
sleek animals who snarled at each
other in the Rock Creek cages.
Frederick did not snarl. But she
had feeling he might if Eloise kept
at him much longer.
It was in the midst of the hubbub
that Edith entered. She walked in
among them as composedly as she
had faced them at the Inn.
Hello" she said, tyou sound like
jazz band" She went straight
up to Frederick and kissed him. 'sI
suppose Eloise is shouting the news
to the world" She tucked her hand
in his arm. "There are more than a
million reporters outside. Mr..
Barnes is keeping them at bay"
Where did they find your"
Heard of us, ! suppose, at the
Alexandria hotel. We didn't realize
it until we reached here, and then
they piled out and began to ask
questions.
Frederick lifted her hand from
his arm. 'I'll 60 and send them
away"
Eloise jumped up. "I'll go with
you."
And then Frederick snarled, "Stay
here"
But neither of them went, for
Baldy entered, head cooked, eyes
alight-Jane knew the signs.
They've gone,' he said. II told
you I'd get rid of them, Miss
Towne."
He nodded to them all. Absolute
ly at his ease, lifted above them all
by the exaltation of his mood. Finer,
Jane told herself, than any of them

Edith was smiling at Jane. 81

They were alike. A striking pair

Frederick explained. He had re-
gained his genial manner.
"Oh, really" fieIaide knew that
she and her friends ought to go at

at moments like this was impossi-
BILE. But she hated to leave anyone
else in the field. Cant I give you

But it was Frederick who an
