Iran Protests
New Demands
Neutral Stoto looth
to ,Expel Germans

OTEHERAN, Iran, Aug. 23-(R
Iran, anticipating a showdown
on British Russian demands for
expulsion of German technicians
from the country, has cancelled
leaves for 1912 newly-graduated
Army officers md has ordered
them t6 the frontiers for active
duty with 10000 troops on
guard there. -
A government answer to q
British Russian note was deliv-
cred to the British minister yes
terday. Iran was understood to
have shown readiness to reduce
the number Of German techni-
clans when their contracts in
state-owned railroads and COM
munications industries expire.
The answer, however, was re-
ported to have stressed that Iran
as q neutral, independent power,
did not see why she should be
forced to risk diplomatic rupture
with Germany by expelling all
German nationals at once.
BRITAIN TO STAND FIRM
(Sources in London indicated
Great Britain would stand firm
on her demands and was ready
to send troops into Iran rather
than permit an alleged 5000
Germans to remain there. They
said Lieut.. Gen. Claude j. E. Au-
chinleck, Middle East command
er-in-chief, who visited London
recently, probably gave Prime
Minister Churchill a detailed re-
port of British strength in that
area.)

blew up her magazine.
"H. NJ S. Warspite also figured in
the Battle of laramie, high up in the
arch of the Italian boot. The Italian
fleet took a severe blow from the
British fleet air arm rather than to
leave harbor and meet the British battle
force which was waiting just for that
move. This battle proved the effec-
tiveness of torpedo carrying planes
and bombers in sea battle.
"The Battle of Cape Matapan, the
most decisive and sensational sea
battle of this war, also saw the War
spite in action. With six tons of
the Warspite's first salvo hitting di-
rectly, the Italian cruiser Ffume was
sunk without having time to fire a
shot. Two other heavy cruisers, four
destroyers and several submarines and
aircraft were lost to Italy. Two battle
ships were seriously damaged-prob-
ably put entirely out of commission
The British didn't lose single man;
not even scratch was sustained by
any ship. Two aircraft failed to re-
turn, however. Great Britain, with
blasting fury of His Majesty's Ship
WarSpite, was insured the supremacy

MULTIPLICATION OF
SKELETON is MADE.

Positive Identification of the skeleton
found six miles northwest of Ely has
been made.
The man was Norman Dean, n years
old, who disappeared from his home,
at Richfield, Mimi. three years ago.
Friday James Dean, brother of the
dead man, claimed the remains and
took them to Bloomington, Mimi, for
burial Returning here after discussing
earlier findings with relatives in Rich
field, Dean said that a pocket knife
found near the skeleton by Deputy
Sheriff Adolph Dolenshak was given
his brother by their father. Also aid
ing in the Identification was tie clasp
bearing the initial '.N", and the fact
that both wrist bones of the skeleton
and of the missing man-had been
broken.
How the missing man came to be in
the wilderness between BURNSIDE and
Shagawa lakes is unexplained, as is
the reason for his apparent taking of
his own life. He died within sight of the
road, but evidence of the tragedy was
not found until many months after.

Navy SEEKING
FLYING CADETS
Opportunity Awaits Ely Young
Men Who Can Qualify
for Training.

The United States navy is faced with
constantly increasing quotas in Naval
Aviation. The need for the increased
number of aviation cadets is two-fold:
(a) because approximately $4,000
trained navy pilots will be necessary to
man the 10000 planes contemplated in
the navy's long-range aeronautical
program, and (b) because the Nays
three great flight training centers at
Pensacola, Florida, Jacksonville, Flor
ida, and Corpus Christi, Texas, are
receiving a total monthly quota of
approximately 800 student aviators.
Basic requirements for this training
are that the candidate must be a
male American citizen, between the
ages of 20 and 81, unmarried, and
having earned minimum of so per
cent of the credits toward four year
degree in an accredited college or uni
versity. He must be in excellent ply
steal condition and possess those quail
f1cations which make the traditional
officer of the United States Navy.
Aviation cadets will be furnished all
necessary uniform equipment and will
receive pay and allowance amounting
to sos per month. Upon being COM
missioned an ensign in the naval re-
serve, their pay and allowances amount
to approximately $245 per month
When released from active duty they
receive lump sum payment of $500
for each year of commissioned active
service, this payment being in addi-
ton to any other pay and allowances
they may otherwise be entitled to
receive.
Candidates for this training may
apply at the nearest u. S. navy re-
cruiting station or write direct to the
