6/Arthur Brisbane FIRST BREAK IN GERMAN Y THE KAISER’S PRAISE WHAT NEXT IN GERMANY? VATICAN RESENTMENT

The dictatorial path of Chancellor Hitler is not as smooth as with his colleagues. Mussolini. Kennal Pasha and Stalin. A few killings, suicides and arrests will not put an end to such violent dissatisfaction, and the world wonders what will happen next. Old President Hindenburg congratulates all the survivors. Some of the dead may be better off than the living. According to Universal Service, Roehm, who had fought at the side of Hitler since the beginning, did not commit suicide. with a loaded revolver in his prison cell, he refused to kill himself and, after >being given “ten minutes more,” was shot by a firing scjuad. The former kaiser expresses amazement at Hitler’s energy and strength. He says Hitler is “stronger than ever." Il is clear the chancellor does not J lack strength of will or. swiftness of execution. Before he had seized complete power he predicted * heads will roll." They are roiling, and Hiller’s head man, Goebbelfc, predicts that “more heads will roll." That the Hitler collapse is to be followed by horrible violence is.only too probable. What would came afterwards? Would extreme “red radicalism” come to the front to take control? Would there be that union of Russia and Germany that many Germans advocated immediately after the signing of the Versailles treaty? The pope's government in the Vatican resents, bitterly, and naturally, the statement that Heinrich Klausener, head of the Catholic Action party in Berlin, has committed suicide. An official of the Vatican recalls that “only . recently Klausener made a noble speech to Berlin Catholics, which was read with deepest satisfaction by the Vatican." The Vatican official, quoted by International News Service, adds: “We must strongly protest against the attempt to camouflage murder as suicide, since the Catholic religion forbids suicide. Militants, like Klausene;. would not dream of taking their own lives." The same official said further: “It is deplorable that, not content with .killing their adversary, the brown shirts threw mud at > his noble figure." Rudyard Kipling, not as young as be was, but persistently British and patriotic, writes a new poem which says Non Nobie Dorn inc, ineanng “Not Unto Us, 0 Lord," should the praise be given. This new “Recessional" poem was written for a magnificent pageant celebrating England’s marvelous recovery from the big war and depression and dragging in the defeat of the armada. Kipling might have dritten, but did not write: “Non Nobis Dornine— Give the praise to our gooaelike friend Uncle Sam, for without him sending us billions of dollars, and quietly accepting our default, we should not be so well off." This great nation, as mild as a sick white mouse concerning the gigantic defaulted debts of prance and England, is roaring like a first-cl ass lion at Germany's default. It must be a great comfort to find some one to whom you dare speak plainly. Senator McAdoo, praising President Roosevelt, says, “Rugged individualijgn is dying.” If that ‘were true, it would be a sad thing for the country, because some necessary things white rabbits cannot do. If rugged individuals had died eerier, there would be no tunnels from New York to New Jersey, under the North River. McAdoo cut them there, and it was a rugged job. And if-there were no rugged individualism left, there would be no President Roosevelt. Any man able to make congress eat out of his hand and jump through new era hoops, is ragged. Many old men will read this with sympathy: Fred Schlundt inhaled gas and killed himself in a little furnished room. In his pocket were • cents and this note: J "Don’t try to revive me. I want to be dead. I. am over seventyfour." . Before leaving, the President eetabltehed a "steel labor board," consisting of three men, well chosen. This board will deal with the steel strike as "the national longshoremen’s board" will deal with the strike of dock laborers on the Pacific coast. Employers and employees are said to have requested the accepted arbitration by presidential boards, but Mr. Green, bead of the American Federation of Labor, baa not spoken enthusiastically or definitely on the subject.

AUTO BURNS NEAR HOUSE AND GARAGE

Passersby Get Firemen; Flames Put Out Before Owners of Property Can Be Awakened by Shouts. A car load of young people making all the noise possible, a fire truck and siren, and attempts of 50 people could not disturb the sleep of two men, about 1:15 Monday morning, when the automobile belonging to them burned up, and set fire to the garage near the house. The car belonged to Ernest Allman, and was backed up against the garage of John Allman, his uncle, who lives on the Cripe farm about, a mile and one half out of town on the Huntington road. The car caught fire, presumably from a short circuit in the ignition system, and was seen aflame by some young people driving into Syracuse. They stopped, tried to rouse the people in the house, without success. So they drove to Syracuse, told the nightwatchman, who turned in the fire alarm. When the Syracuse fire truck arrived, the firemen discovered that not only the car, but the garage was on fire. John Allman's car which was inside the garage was pushed out, and the garage fire .put out. And still no one showed up from the house which was close to the burning car and garage. Finally after the door was almost kicked in, a sleepy voice asked: “what do you want?** And they were told. (J ; SERIES OF ACCIDENTS The Young People's Sunday -school class of the Bethany church held a picnic at Indian Hill last Sunday and members of the class suffered some hard luck. The axle broke on the car of one of the members, and when another member of the class took his car to push the first car along, the steering gear broke on the second machine. Willie Weybright came to the assistance of both with his car—and the clutch was broken. In addition, Weybright, who had brought a camera loaded with a film, forgot it, and left it lying on the beach. When ho returned for it Tuesday, it had disappeared. PROPERTY STOLEN Someone stole the windows and the electric floor plug from the Dillingham property on Boston street. The theft occurred sometime Friday night. e

NO ONE HURT WHEN HORSE RUNS AWAY

Crosses B. &O. Tracks Ahead of Flyer; Buggy Ditched, Occupant Jake Gross, Uninjured. Older residents of this community can remember runaway horses seen during their early youth, but young people of this community, Saturday afternoon, July 7, 1934 saw a horse run away—and escape being hit by the Chicago-bound B. & O. flyer. No. 25. as it flashed prst the Main street crossing. The animal, belonging to Jakq Gross, who lives on what is known as the Richhart farm, three miles south of town, had been tied to the hitching rack on North Huntington street, affethe side of Bachman’s store. • ’ During the absence of Gross from the horse and buggy, a bonfire had been started further up the hill from the horse, and when the wind carried the smoke in its direction, the animal smelled it, commenced climbing the curb, trying to get away from tire, it is believed. When Gross returned from the store with his groceries, unhitched the animal and climbed into the buggy, the horse started for home, turning from Huntington on to Main street so sharply that two automobiles parked near Bachman’s were side-swiped by the buggy. The animal kept increasing its speed down Main street and who had been seated on porches along this street rushed out into the middle of the street to see what had caused the runaway—and if there was to‘be a terrible accident as the fast train was whistling down the tracks. They report that just before the train reached the crossing, the horse flashed across. The animal was unable to make the right angle turn to the Stringtown road, towards home, and failed to keep on the pavement towards No. Webster. Instead it went down the embankment, where the buggy came to a stop against a fence post, and groceries were scattered in every direction. The horse fell but rose to its feet again. Mr. Gross was uninjured, and the animal kept running until it reached the first farm house, that of Chas. Thompson. It saw the barnyard gate open and entered, and becoming calm, in such familiar surroundings it stuck its head into the barn door, where Al Bickel, the boy who works there, took hold of the animal and led it back to the wrecked buggy where a crowd had gathered. Mr. Gross said that the buckel of the line had caught in the ring of the back band, which had prevented him from stopping or guiding the animal when it commenced its race. He had to lead the animal home as the shafts had been torn from the buggy when it struck the fence post. The horse suffered a slightly skinned knee but seemed to have escaped other injury in the flight and wreck. When the reporter asked how the buckel being caught in the ring could be explained so that automobile drivers would understand, Dan Wolf, who with “Beanie" Howard, was trying to repair the damaged buggy, said, just to say something went wrong with the differential. 0 - - FORMER RESIDENT DIES The friends and relatives of Mrs. Frank Bailey, former resident of Syracuse, received word of her sudden death at her home in Benton Harbor, Mich. Mrs. Bailey was a Syracuse visitor. Decoration Day.

Wm. J. Strieby Died at Home, Friday Morning; 11l Three Weeks With Heart Trouble After suffering three weeks with heart trouble, William J. Strieby, aged 82, died at his home south of Syracuse, last Friday evening. ‘ i Funeral services for him . were held Sunday afternoon at 2 o’clock at the Methodist church in North Webster, with Rev. J. S. Denbo officiating. William Strieby was the son of Samuel and Mary Strieby and was born in Carol cotinty, 0., Nov. 12, 1851.

H. Bowser. On Tuesday it was discovered that bne <of the cats, a yellow colored one, seemingly without an owner, had fled from the battle, up the tree in front of Mrs. Bowser's house. It sat on a limb of the tree and called for help in cat language all day. Towards evening the sound began to get on the nerves of everyone , near, and it was feared a noisy night would be enjoyed by all. Fred Hpopingarner tried to reach the cat with a long pole but couldn't and Dr. Fred Clark extended a plank from the tree to the porch roof of the Bowser home. But the lowest branch of the tree to which the cat clung was so much higher than the roof it would have meant a steep slide, so the cat refused to try coming down the board. “When Mr. and Mrs. M. W. Macy were in town, in the evening, they became interested in helping the cat, and Macy, the editor, the night watchman and Peck Kline obtained the ladder from the fire truck. ? Kline was the hero who climbed the ladder and brought the cat down from its high perch. It was taken to the Journal office, fed some milk, and spent the night hunting rats. The ladder was returned in safety to the fire engine house.
