WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.—(UP) — The United States is trying to discourage Soviet Russia from joining the new Japanese-German-Italian military alliance, administration
sources said today.
Informal conversations between the two countries have been resumed. They were understood to be a continuation of conversations between Undersecretary of State Sumner Welles and Russian Ambassador Constantine Oumansky who sought re-
of possible “political and diplomatic
cooperation” in the Far East. The Welles-Oumansky talks collapsed because of Russian demands
for more liberal travel privileges in
the United State for Russian "tourists." Welles objected, it was said, because Russian tourists too often
had turned out to be Communist ag-

The two Geor„e Edwins, it developed, had some things in common. Each of them enlisted in the U. S. federal forc-rs for the Spanish war in the same year, but the 78-year old veteran said he had to ‘’fudge’’ his age to appear to be young enough to enlist and he has a rifle bullet wound on his leg, while the other one did not have to fudge and has not yet been shot -a statement made with proper knocking on wood, however. George Edwin Noll enlisted In the U. S. regulais at Indianapolis, ‘n 1898, being assigned to Battery H, First Regt. Heavy Artillery. He was sent to barracks in Florida, was discharged at the end of nine months, but re-enlisted for service abroad with but little loss of time.

FOSTERS OF FIRST WORLD WAR WILL BE DISPLAYED HEREBY AMERICAN LEGION
ATTENDS POULTRY SCHOOL David L. Grimes, Putnam county farm agent, is attending the poultry school at Purdue University today.
Patriotic posters that were on d splay in the United States in 1917-18 during the first World War will aga'n be shown in this city by the local post of the American Legion. The ex-service men plan to put these interesting placards of 23 years ago in various store windows in the business district. Following this, the posters will b e assembled in one big exhibit. The Legionnaires believe that their assortment of World War banners is the biggest collection of its kind in the country and they are framing and treating the surfaces of the posters so that they will last for many more years.
This display will be of special interest to young men and women of school and college age who were bom after the Armistice on November 11, 1918. Included in the group of placards appealing to the patriotism of American citizens nearly a quarter of a century ago are posters urging pu - chase of War Savings Stamps; Third Liberty Loan; Red Cross: Victory Liberty Loan, and those calling upon the farmer and the laborer to heir) win the war. Two of the most in- ( teresthig posters in the Legion's collection are "Send the Eagle's Answer," and "Liberty Bell—Ring It
Again.”
