BERLIN, Aug. 21 'UPi Germany
brought its pressure on Poland toward a climax today as Adolf Hitler prepared to address the Nation at Tannenberg, seven miles from the
Polish frontier, next Sunday. It was rumored that Hitler might
make a surprise visit to Danzig I aboard the Cruiser Koenigsberg. [ which is due at Da.nzig Friday, as a j symbol that the Reich was behind the
i free city.
From Danzig Hitler could cross the New Vistula river bridge, connecting Danzig with the east Prussian Garrison towm of Elbing, and continue on by motor car the 55
miles to Tannenberg.
However, some well Informed sources expressed belief that Hitler would defer his visit in the belief that Danzig would soon be joined to Germany and he could enter in triumph as
its legal Fuehrer.
The Tannenberg speech Sunday I marking the 25th anniversary of a great victory against Russia, and the i Nazi party annual rally opening at

garded as climatic dates in Germany’s demands on Poland, now extended to Include not only Danzig but the Polish corridor, and Polish

Joachim Von Uibbeutrop, Foreign minister, conferred with Hitler at Berchtesgaden yesterday after having conferred with Bernado Attolico, Italian Ambassador, at Salzburg. Sir Neville Henderson, British Ambassador, W’as expected at Salzburg today, ostensibly to attend an International motorcycle meet, but presumably also to confer with Ribben-

Fifty years ago, Sunday, Jennie Phillips and Samuel E. Clapp stood before the Methodist pastor, the Rev. J. L. Perry, at Hartsville. in Bartholomew county, this state, and made the responses to the questions asked of them by the preacher, to make them husband and wife. Mr. Clapp, at ms pleasant home on the east side of Maple Heights Sunday afternoon, recalled, wdth a chuckle, that he wore a Prince Albert suit which had cost him $35, tailormade, with usual stiff-bosomed shirt and tight collar of that day. He remembered, too, that the winter following that date so memorable in the lives of these two persons was the mildest on the records of the weather bureau, for which they were duly thankful. Through 35 years beginning witn their marriage, Mr. and Mrs. Clapp lived on a farm in the edge of Decatur county, and were genuine “dirt” farmers. They worked hard, and were good citizens. In 1917, they moved to Greencastle, having a
Embark In Canoe At Water Works Dam Robert Dean, manager of Oakley’s in this city, and Orville O’Hair, of the same store, had a unique outing Sunday, growing out of love of see- I ing something new, which most ; young people have. As a consummation of a plan that had been developing some time, they embarked in a canoe at the water works dam, north of Greencastle, Sunday morning, and started out to spe the world. They floated and waded down that stream as far as Oak Hill camp, having interesting experiences and seeing many interesting things, along the way, but having to give up a continuation of the trip because there wasn’t enough time to go much farther. The creek was at a somewhat low level, involving wading across many gravel bars, surmounting of sunken logs, pulling through weed growth and overcoming other difficulties. Their canoe was hauled back to Greencastle, and, on a later date, another start will be made, this time from the point at which they quit

MOSCOW, Aug. 21. (UP) A new Russian-German trade agreement may prove a substantial step tor further Improvement not only of ccrnoinic but also of political relations between the Soviet Union and Germany, th newspaper Pravda, official organ of the Communist party, said today. “It can be safely stated that the new agreement is a turning point in business relations of the two countries,” said Izvcstla. official newspapi r < rgnn of the government. Announcement of the Russian-Ger-man agreement came at a time when it had been admitted that differences had arisen in negotiations by Russia with Britain and French military missions for an anti-aggression mil-
itary alliance.
Though optimism was oxpre -sc I j that both political and military accords would be reached, negotiations wore in recess for the present pending receipt of new instructions by the British and French mission. Intrinsically, the Hade agreement was important enough, involving an $8(;.OOC.OOO credit by Germany to Russia and purchase by Russia of $72,000,000 of German goods. The comments by the two official newspapers, however, gave it even
additional moment.
As regards the new agreement, it said that the German government undertakes to assist Russian trade delegates in placing orders in the German market with individual firms. A;> it is possible that Russia may pay in cash for some of these purchases, Izveslia said, the grant of ?. big credit by Germany becomes in a way a financial credit rather than a trade one. Further, it was said that five per cent interest rate on the credit, and provision for payment

SMALL POWERS MAKE AI’I’EAE FOR PEACE BRUSSELS, Belgium, Aug. 21 - (UP) A special cabinet meeting decided today to propose that the Oslo powers the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxemburg, Denmark, Norway and Sweden -make a joint appeal to the great powers for peace. The six nations, which comprise the outstanding neutrals of northwestern Europe, would apepal to the big powers to do their utmost to avoid bringing suffering not only oa their own peoples but also on the populations of smaller countries not concerned with their quarrels. King Leopold has invited the foreign ministers of the Oslo states to meet at Brussels on Wednesday in connection with the European situa-
