Dr. Oxuam Speaks At Crawfordsville At Lunelieon

HEPAITW t'NIVERSITY PRESIDENT TALKS ON CONDITIONS IN GERMANY

Two hundred persons, including members of Rotary. Kiwanis and Lions, their wives ami several invited guests, listened to an interesting address by Dr. G. Bromley Oxnam, president of DePauw university, at a joint service club luncheon at the Masonic Temple in Crawfordsville Thursday noon. Tile meeting was one of the finest of its kind ever held in Crawfordsville. The luncheon was served by the women of the Eastern Star and arrangements for the program were made by officers of the three organisations. Dr. Oxnam spoke on "Adolf Hitler and the Meaning of the Nazi Movement in Germany.” He gave his large audience a vivid word picture of conditions abroad and closed his address with a significant statement, "America will never submit to a dictator.” Dr. Oxnam’s address was a summary of conditions in Germany as they exist today. After tracing the development of the Nazi movement ne reviewed the life of Germany’s leader and told how Hitler had come into power from humble surroundings and obscurity. Dr. Oxnam explained that dictatorship, such as exists at this time in many European and Asiatic countries. was a natural development and that conflicting thought and constant struggle for power had made the present situation possible. Dr. Oxnam informed his audience that Germany now has twentv-nine political parties with the National Socialists or the Nazis holding the balanc of power. Dr. Oxnam closed his thirty minute address by reminding his listeners of the position that the United States

Molds in the family of nations. "If the time should ever come,” he said, "that a dictatorship should threaten in this country political leaders, regardless of affiliation, would unite in opposition.” Among the guests of the service clubs were: Dr. Frederick Shannon of Chicago and Dr. Louis B. Hopkins of Wabash college. Officials of the three clubs, their wives and the guests of honor wore seated at the speaker's table. Dr. Oxnam was introduced by Frank C. Evans of Rotary.

Simpson, veteran Omaha, Neb., mule-driver, is not only the world’s largest exporter of mules, but also the most successful. He has shipped thousands to all parts of the world, without losing a single animal enroute. He has just sailed from Saint John with his latest shipment—373 American mules for the British War Department in India. Simpson signed a contract with the Imperial Government In 1921 to supply the animals for Indian mobile forces. Simpson personally supervises the transportation of the mules because he says, shipping the animals b> water is a task very few people can manage. A mule, which can plod tirelessly through miles and miles of rough country, is a potential invalid from the time he embarks to the very hour he is unloaded, and the successful mule shipper must know all of the animal's idiosyncrasies and all its symptoms of sickness, if he wants them to arrive at their destin ation in good condition. Simpson said inexperienced mule shippers have been known to lose 40 per cent of their animals on a single voyage. Mules never get seasick, he said but when th" seas become rough they go on a "hunger strike," nnd won’t eat until the ship stops rolling. STEEL “COFFINS” IN NEXT WAR

LONDON. ‘UP)—In future wars infantry will be able to advance undcr machine gun fire in "mechanical coffins.” Thin is the name given to an invention which the war department here is considering. Actually it is an armored box, propelled by a tiny motor. It will hold a light machine gunner lying flat, and will carry him much faster than if he tried to crawl, and with far less exposure than in the normal advance, where he had to run or walk upright. Using an "armored crawler” of thin kind he may have a far better chance of getting within close range of the defending machine gunner ensconced behind cover. It is only about seven feet long, less than a yard wide, and stands only knee-high. It is propelled by a motor of about four h.p. Traveling clong the road the occupant sits comfortably in his "perambulator,” but on reaching the battlefield changes to a prone position with his light machine gun pointing ahead. A slightly wider type Is under consideration to accommodate two men.

CANADIANS TAME AGITATOR VENGREVILLE, AUa. (UP)—inciting strikes is an embarrassing pastime here. George Palmer, a former Moscow newspapei-man, tried to induce farmers here to strike against grain elevators, but the farmers caught him, stripped the clothes from his hack, and tarred him from hend to foot.
