GERMAN SPLIT IS SMOOTHED OVEROUIETLY ‘Armed Truce’ Is Declared by Conservative and Nazi Factions. By United Press BERLIN, June 20.—A grave split in the government between the Junker-Conservative faction and the more rabid Nazi radicals appeared today to have been smoothed over, at least temporarily. Chancellor Adolf Hitler refused to take sides openly in the dispute. He upheld the actions of both factions leading to belief that for the present they would feel constrained to get along under a sort of “armed truce.” The public has been blissfully unaware that a crisis has been impending, because the news of what had been going on was not published. The situation came to a head ■with a speech at Marburg university Sunday by Vice-Chancellor Franz von Papen, leader of the conservatives. He attacked the radical Nazi campaign to muzzle criticism and insisted that political leaders must tell the people the truth. Paul Joseph Goebbels, minister of prapaganda. had publication of the speech suppressed. President Paul von Hindenburg wired Von Papen his congratulations, indorsing the speech. Von Papen appealed to Hitler, and it was learned today that Hitler affirmed his agreement with contents of the speech, but maintained that the propaganda ministry was justified in withholding it from general circulation by newspaper and radio. His view was that it was appropriate for a university, where it would be understood, but that the general public might misconstrue it and exaggerate its import. Fund Seizing Approved By United Press LONDON, June 20. —A bill authorizing establishment of an exchange clearing house to seize German funds for the compensation of those affected by the German moratorium of foreign debts was passed on first reading by the house of commons today.

Sanfstaengl has accepted an invitation to attend the wedding of John Jacob Astor 111, New York, and Miss Ellen Tuck French at Newport, R. 1., June 30, he said today. “Unless something develops,” he said, “I hope to attend the wedding.” Hanfstaengl, here for the twentyfifth reunion of his Harvard class, was shown a copy of an article by Heywood Broun, famed columnist, in which Hanfstaengl was assailed, and laughed off the criticism as “jealousy from an inferior Harvard class.” “He ought to stop being a sour belly,” he said. “After all we didn’t burn his book in Berlin.” French 'Drought Ended By United Press PARIS, June 20—Heavy rains sizzled down on forest fires in widely separated parts of the country today to end the forty-seven-day drought. There were eleven fires at one time in the great Fontainbleau forest and soldiers were called out to fight them. In the fine forests of Hartmann’s Weilerkopf mountain, in the Vosges, where 60.000 French and Germans were killed in the early days of the World war, great fires raged and the villages of Hehfelsen and Wattwiller were menaced gravely. Fire fighters were in constant danger of exploding shells which had lain in the forest since the war. Labor to Invite U. S.

Heat Just as Important as Air in Saving Lives of Drowning Persons
~
But Rescuers Must Watch Step and Keep from Burning Victim. This is the third of a series of five articles by Lewis C. Robbins, director of life saving and first aid at Camp Kosciusko, Winona Lake, on treatment of drowning persons. by LEWIS ROBBINS Drowning persons die of cold as well as lack of air. The wet clothes, the exposure to the wind and the contact with the wet ground all contribute to a rapid loss of body heat, especially since heart action is impaired by lack of oxygen. The patient needs heat almost as much as air, and it must be applied as soon as possible. Blankets should protect the subject from the cold ground and a blanket should be placed over him. It is not difficult for the operator to work through the blanket. Hot water bottles then are prepared and, using care that the patient is not burned, since the patient can feel nothing, placed in the arm pits, between the legs, even under the abdomen and wherever heat can be applied.
CLEMENCY IS ASKED FORMOTHER OF 3 Young Husband Slayer tc Die This Week. By United Press ALBANY, N. Y„ June 20.—While a 28-year-old Albany mother sewed clothing in Sing Sing prison’s death house for her three young children, defense counsel prepared today to appeal to Governor Herbert H.

By United Press DETROIT, June 20. —Existence of a nation-wide “spy system” in the Home Owners’ Loan Corporation was charged today by John Hamilton, resigned head of the Michigan state branch. Chairman John F. Fahey has built up a system “that would do credit to soviet Russia,” Mr. Hamilton declared.
Hot bricks and glass jars full of hot water can be used, but they must be wrapped well to guard against burning. One emergency case, warmed by corn cobs heated in an oven, recovered from the shock and submersion, but died later of burns. The operator must take charge of the rescue work. He must sense every change in the patient and anticipate every need. After he begins the artificial respiration, he must givp directions to intelligent bystanders. One should be sent for a doctor with the following information: First, the nature of the case; second, what is being done, and third, where the patient can be found. The last, of course, is most important but it often is forgotten by excited helpers. Better send two along, one to check on the other. An inhalator, a machine for supplying oxygen and the stimulant to breathing, carbon dioxide, should be procured if possible. In Indianapolis, the fire department emergency squad is equipped with an inhalator and the men are trained in its use. The inhalator is to be used only with the prone pressure method and artificial respiration never should be withheld pending its arrival.
Too Darn Much Politics Hoosier Cab Driver, 70, Glad to Get Back to Washington, Away From Politicians.
WASHINGTON, June 20.—William (Bill) Jones, the 70-year-old Washington taxi driver and former Capitol guide, came back from Indiana today where he had played to the end the'forlorn role of an “original Ludlow delegate” at the Democratic state convention.
As Jones resumed his seat behind the cab wheel, he sighed with relief as he gazed across the horizon from Union station and saw what are to him the hall marks of home—the Capitol buildings, Washington monument, the White House and other nationally famous scenes. “I’m darn glad to get back here,” Bill declared. “There is just too darn much politics in Indiana.” how Bill Jones is somewhat of a politician himself He went back to his old home town of Rockport in Spencer county and advertised that he was running for delegate to support Congressman Louis Ludlow for the Democratic nomination for the United States senate, and he won. “Then I came back here after the primary and told every one that the choice would be either Ludlow or someone who wasn’t tied up either with the McNutt or Peters faction,” Bill explained rather sheepishly. “I knew many delegates who were chosen because they were supposed to be opposed to the state administration. “But when I got there for the convention, I found most of these had been converted. “So I just stuck to Ludlow and when the St. Joseph county delegation switched from Manion to Minton on that fourth ballot, I left the hall. “It’s good to get back here to the Capitol, where there isn’t so darn much politics going on.” WAR ON BILLBOARDS IS OUTLINED BY CLUB Signs Along New Highways Target of Proposed Drive.

Another person, or several if possible, should be sent for blankets and hot water bottles. They should be warned strictly of the danger of burning the unconscious victim. When breathing has become automatic and regular and the subject is conscious, he can* be carried (never assisted to walk) to a bed where he must be kept quiet for at least a day. The strain on the heart has been terrific and nothing must be done to increase it. Complete rest for at least twenty-four hours therefore is necessary. Correct application of prone pressure over a prolonged period of time is apt to be tiring, so it is- advantageous to have a change of operators. This must be accomplished with no break in the rhythm. The relief operator kneels beside the tiring operator and for respirations sways in unison. This enables him to carry on with the same rhythm. Then he taps the operator on the shoulder. They quickly change places during the rest period and the new man immediately carries on with the prone pressure. Next—The length of time respiration should be continued.

IS DALE’S FACE RED? HE PRINTS ROBINSON’S FACE, MINTON’S NAME
Newspapers make some peculiar errors sometimes. The intricacy of their assembling makes constant perfection impossible and thereby hangs the tale of why George Dale’s face is very, very ! red. The veteran Muncie publisher decided a little art was called for after the recent Democratic state convention, so he decided to use photographs of Governor Paul V. McNutt, Sherman Minton, senate nominee, and R. Earl Peters, Mr. Minton’s closest opponent. Mr. Dale’s Post-Democrat did very well with the picture of the Governor and Peters, but erred on Minton. Below the caption, “Victor” and above the name line, "Sherman Minton” appeared the favorite reproduction of Senator Arthur R. Robinson, the Republican incumbent. Mr. Dale’s face is very red. And now, Democrats are suggesting of the senate nominee that he has a prima facie case of libel. 3 YOUTHS SENTENCED Trio Gets 180 Days, S2OO Fine in Street Car Holdup.
