September 17 RESEARCH CLUB tdRS C D. LEWTON The research dub met at the | home of Mrs. C. D. Lewton on North Second street Monday afternoon with eighteen members pre-| t ent. Mrs. L. A. Cowens discussed I better speech. Mm. C. M. Prugh. program leader. presented the second paper on ‘Cur Future Peace”, reviewing In 1 a most interesting manner the his-1 toiics of Germany and Russia under the dictators Hitler and Stalin. "The lust of the Romanoffs, Tsar Nicholas, weak mentally and physically imitated his father in cruelty and oppression of the poor classes i He was disliked and his wife hated.' When the world war came he was persuaded to abdicate. As he and his family were leaving the palace' i hey were shot and their bodies burned. Immediately the leaders of the i evolution over the government and communism was adopted. Each person from the dictator to the lowest' is comrade. Ruosia swung to the esxtreme from the Romanoff policy Communism persecuted the weal-; thy, ruling class. Their lands were confiscated, all power taken from 'hem. many killed or are in exile. "The great dictators. Lenm. who since his death has been sainted and Stalin, while developing both national and international policies, have brought Russia into he path of progress, yet maintained the brutal policies of the Romanoffs. Russia's attitude is just as domin.eering as ever toward her neighboring countries.” In the second part of her paper Mrs. Prugh said, "the German monarchy fell during the world war and its Kaiser fled to Holland. He was a tackless ruler, talking too much and loving the light of publicity. He was stubborn and could not see his own mistakes. When he fled certain groups took charge of the government. Adolf Hitler. Austrian, was made leader. Not wanting communism they adopted nazisrn and the idea of both ‘isms is the same. "Hitler staited the youth movement, giving the youth of the coun-i-y privileges never allowed before. He is very popular, loving tne light of publicity and to dictate and domineer. His policy first and last is to expand, to grasp all lands be can and to regain colonies. He is fatalist without religion and is quietly drawing the youth away trorn the church. He. like Stalin, has 'purges’ of anyone opposing him. He too can be brutal and cruel. "if Russia and Germany should go to war what would the result be? Can Hitler betrusted? Can Stalin? If Russia and Germany shotud unite which would really rule? Were the Romanoffs any more brutal than the Stalins’ Were the Hollenzoierns any more brutal than Hitler?"

Value of New Air Safety Device |F J ? J? ■; k_ § gar jj This diagram shows the value of the terrain clearance indicator to aviation. The device was tested on a series of flights over New’ York and pronounced a success. The apparatus is destined to prevent disastrous air crashes such as have occurred recently in mountainous regions In flight, the old altimeter (height indicator) told the airman his height above sea level only. The new indicator tells him how high he is above the terrain over which he is flying.

MANY MISSING IN FIRE AREA Workers Gaining Control Over Northwest Forest Fires Fort Frances, Ont., Oct. 12. — (U.R> Five thousand volunteers and CCC workers, aided by observers in airplanes, wefe gaining control today of brush and forest fires which have raged for two days over 700 square miles along the international boarder. Seventeen persons already were dead and provincial police said many more were missing, it was not known whether those missing had fled to safety, were trapped or had perished in the flames and there seemed little chance of determining their fate until searchers can make their way to the center of the stricken area. The tire region extended from a point north of Fort Frances southward across the border to Rosseau, Lake of the Woods and Koochiching counties in northern Minnesota. Fort Frances and International Falls, the only large communities in the area, were threatened for a time but the danger abated when a 30-mile an hour wind, which had driven the fire out of control, died down. The situation had eased today, fire fighters reported. They said several small fires had burned out and they believed they* would be able to prevent other fires from spreading if winds do not rise again. The hardest hit section was in Dance township, province of Ontario, 50 miles nothwest of Fort Frances, where 13 of the victims were found. Twelve were members of the families of William. Frank and NoaTi La Belle, brothers. The brothers were working on the fire line when their wives set ont in a horse drawn wagon to remove themselves and their children from the danger area. But flames and fallen trees blocked the roads. They abandoned the wagon and continued on foot. .Hours later the bodies of Mrs. William La Belle and her five children and of Mrs. Noah La Belle and her four children weref ound a few feet apart on the remains of what had been a woodlawn path. "They must have been overcome by smoke befote they got far,” Constable David Hamilton "The mothers' bodies were found over those of their smallest babies. Apparently they had attempted to use their own bodies to shield the children.' Maxine La Belle. 11, daughter of Frank La Belle, was found alive but died at a Fort Frances hospital from severe burns. The other known dea<L were Orville Wiliams, Little Falls. Minn.: Fred Service, International Falls: Joe Dardin, International Falls: Benny Fultz, Dance township, and an unidentified settler near Fort Frances. Ed Blackbird and Pete Accobee, Indian guides, penetrated a flaming woodland near Warroad, Minn., last night and rescued Mr. and Mrs. Grant Abmire, an aged couple whose home was surrounded by fires. The couple had been given up for dead. o AFL DELEGATES (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) alysis of economic, legislative and politics," and said crisply that it is a “bit confusing.” He complained that the report sought to place the federation on record in opposition to the Rorah-OMaho-ney general licensing act which the A.

There was a chorus of “aye” to the motion to recommit, and a few ‘nays.” Green wasn't satisfied and called for a lounder vote.

Woll arose, his face flushed, and read the names of the signatories to 'he report. Green banged his gavel and guided the rebellious, delegates into less explosive issues. The ill-fated report in addition to failing to criticize the president. twice emphasized that the committee did not question the “sincerity of motive" involved. — o 500 Sheets S'/jxll. 16-Ib.
