To his enthusiastic audience,
which included the Minister from

dictions about the future course of
the war:
Il would not be surprised, before
the year is out, to see a German

Sees No Move Against Greece.
The Germans could not cross Asia
Minor because the mountains are
high and railroad facilities are so
lacking that it would require three
days under the best of circum-
stances with no enemy action for
one division of German troops to
cross.
The Germans probably have no
idea of making a move against
Greece because the only thing the
Germans could get from the Greeks
is headache
The last thing Hitler can stand
now is war in the Balkans" Mr..
Stowe said Hitler has only got
three or four more cards to play"
Mr.. Stowe looked for revolution in
italy, with the Italian people turn
ing on the Nazi troups stationed
there. He observed:
It's not going to be comfortable
for a German soldier to be patroling

Mr.. Stowe gave an eloquent touch
to his talk by an impassioned ap-
peal to this country to join whole

freedom as it is being defended by
the British and the Greek troops.

Greek offensive was reported today
to have driven Italians from strong
ly fortified positions on the central

The r. A. F. communique used
superlative phrases to describe the

Albanian capital; Durazzo, the prin-
cipal port remaining to the Italians,
and the Tepeleni and Buzz regions
were the principal targets.
Heavy bombers attacked air

bombers were destroyed by fire at
Tirana."
Throughout yesterday "concen-
trated and repeated attacks were
launched against italian positions
at Tepeleni and near Buzz, in sup

Two Italian divisions engaged in
the central front fighting were iden-

Greeks said that the new Italian
commander in Albania, Gen. Ugo

Nazi Plan TO Repay
Dutch for DAMAGE
In War Reported
Private Property
Losses Are Placed
At $3.50, 900 900
BY LLOYD LEHRBAS,
Associated Press Staff Writer.

The NaZi-dominated Netherlands
government, diplomatic sources re-
ported here today, has undertaken
to compensate its citizens for prop
erty damage suffered in the war.
While no official figures are yet
available, informed estimates are
that damage totaling $500, 0,0O0, 900
was done to Dutch property in the
hve-day blitzkrieg last May which
smashed the Netherlands. Private
property losses were placed at $780,
100000.
The compensation decree provid-
ing for war damage payments made
no mention of the manner in which
the government would raise the nee
essary funds required, according to
the authoritative information re-
ceived in diplomatic quarters here.
The program is believed the first OF
its kind in Europe.
Taxes Increased.
Since German authorities are now
In complete control OF all govern
mental, financial and commercial
activities, however, informed sources
said they believed the war damage
costs would be paid il Dutch cur
rency and funds obtained from
higher taxes, which. in some in
stances, have been increased IS per
cent.
Under Nazi economic practice
both in Germany and in occupied
countries. these sources declared,
there have been practically no linn
itations on the amount of printing
press money" placed in circulation.
Germany itself has made a state
secret OF its gold reserve and no
authoritative figures exist on the
gold backing" for the millions of
marks which are circulating in Ger
many and German-dominated coun-
tries.
Gold Reserve Shipped Out.
The Dutch government is under
stood to have shipped most OF its
gold reserve to the United States
and England just before the Nazi
occupation. and there is no official
information on what amounts may
have been seized by the Germans.
Dutch assets, now frozen" in the
United States. total Sl,622000,000,
including S700,000.000 in bullion,
currency and time and demand de-
posits.
The Nazi-controlled Netherlands
government is now attempting to
obtain all gold Or foreign currency
which frugal Dutchmen have saved,
according to the diplomatic reports
received here.
The bank has requisitioned all
banknotes in dollars, Swiss francs.
and Swedish crowns. refusing any
exemptions to orders that they must
be turned in for Dutch currency.
Citizens Must Sell Gold.
The Netherlands Bank also is
obliging all citizens to sell 1t any
gold they may have, and by Decem-
ber 20 had reached all whose names
begin with the letters I K L and M.
Under the war damages decree the
owners will be compensated 100 per
cent up to forins $4,000 (approxi-
mately SIS $1,000, and go per cent on
losses over that amount.
Household furniture and effects
will be compensated for by payment
in-kind coupons.
Payment vii be made only for
property of Dutch nationals.
Most of the damage claims will be
made in Rotterdam where a terrific
German air bombardment-on the
day the Dutch Army surrendered
reduced $4,000 private residences and
1000 business premises to ruins.

SOME BREEDERS
ALWAYS READY
FOR THE MARKET
Price OF BrOilers Is Fair Indi.
cation Of Proper Time To
Start Another Brood

Some broiler raisers always have
their flocks ready for market when
prices are good while other broiler
growers always seem to hit low
market. $500 -.,...e..
Of course, the ideal time to start
flock is when few chicks are being
put in but to secure reliable informa-
ton on this score is not so easy. An
effort is now being made to find out
just how many chicks are shipped to
the Shore each week and how many
are Matched here but it will be some
time before this record will be long
enough to be of any value.
It has been discovered that the
market price of broilers is a fairly
reliable indication Of whether or not
it is a good time to start another
brood. A chart has been made up,
showing the market price of broilers
each week for the past three years
in the New York Poultry Market.
This chart is now being printed with
suitable explanations by the Hastings
Hatchery at Parsonsburg, Md. They
will mail any broiler raiser a copy
free of charge if you write to them.

TWINCES FROM
DEFECTIVE TEETH
ARE WARNINGS
Assessed Roots Can Be Grave
Danger To The Entire Sys-
tenn, Says DIR. Leonard
BETTER TO LOSE TEETH
THAN RISK INFECTION

DIR. Richard C. Leonard, Chief Of
the Division of Oral Hygiene of the
State Department of Health, calls at.
tention to the following account, pre-.
pared by the American Dental Asso-
citation, of what happens when you
fail to heed the warning twinges
from an infected tooth:
1.-THE strong herman type of in
dividual is loath to believe that a
tiny abscess at the root-end Of a
tooth can seriously affect his health,
but dentists and physicians are a
greed that such seemingly innoc-
uous disturbance can be grave dan
ger to the entire system.
Technically, such nests Of bac-
terra are known as the foci of in
lection. In these days of camera en-
thusiasts, every one knows what a
"focus" is-a concentrated image.
The same reasoning can be applied to
the concentrated collections Of bac-
terra at the tips of diseased teeth.
1.-THE immediate danger Of focal
infection is that poisonous matter
disease germs-may be fed into the
blood stream, and organic ills detri-
mental to the general health of the
individual result.
"In the acute or chronic dental abb
scess, infection is present and the
germs are either mixed with the
food and swallowed or are absorb
ed directly into the body through the
blood and lymph streams.
"There also occur 'pyorrhea pock-
cts, where bacteria are harbored
free from disturbance by the oral
fluids and under conditions of heat
and moisture ideal for propagation
and growth.
"It is generally accepted that the
absorption of materials from decay
ed teeth and diseased gums tends to
lower the resistance of the body to
communicable diseases of various
kinds. Infections of the joints, heart,
kidneys, etc., are in many cases at
tributable to the presence of focal
infection around the roots of one or
more teeth.
"a tooth may look perfectly nor
NAL and give little or no pain, but
there still may be an abscess at the
tip of a root. AS this condition may
be revealed by the dental X-ray film,
is excellent health insurance to
make periodic visits to your dentist
for a general dental checkup. It is
far better to lose tooth or two than
to run the risk of focal Infection"

Funds increase of $779.943.00 for
1912, necessary appropriations to pub
lie schools, State owned and State
aided hospitals and institutions total
$604,515, which amount is equivalent
to approximately n per cent of the
increase. The Governor further
pointed out that approximately 81

An all-time high in roads construc-

Junior High
Football Saturday

Two football elevens, picked from
fall scrimmages in Junior High, will
engage each other Saturday morn
ing at 10 a. m. on the Central
field
One team. captained by John
Richards, will probably run their
plays from double wing back
formation. The other, led by Geo.
Eprle. will possibly use either a sin
gle or double formation. Both
cams are experimenting with the
famed Stanford IT. formation in
light OF its possibilities.
Junior High football is not
stressed for offensive strategy but
for the fundamentals of blocking
ackling, individual position play,
pass defense, kickoff strategy, and
interference. Each captain will work
nut his own offense with his team
On defense a 6-2-2-1 is to be used
The players are handicapped in
their tackling and blocking prac-
tice, however, for the lack of proper
protecting equipment SO, of course
these plays are not over-stressed be
cause of danger Of injuries.
The teams have been practicing ar
hour each day this fall and are nat
urally anticipating Saturdays en-
counter.
