The ehslxkxex course of events have been moving with breathless speed in Germany, ^Eleven o1clock this morning the world was astonished by the news that Adolf Hitler, the forty- three year old son of an obscure government official in Austria, had been made Chancellor of the German Republic. arty**xyMimnxt-A It is almost needless to say that Germanyindeed all Europe was electrified by the news.

FRANCE Meanwhile in I1 ranee Mr. Edouard Da^sxlier is reported to De having a tough time forming that Cabinet of which he has been designated as the head. Earlier in the day the new French Premier told the President he thought he was going to be successful. Whereupon he started negotiating with the Socialist party. Later this afternoon the report is that the Socialists offered to take part in the New Government but upon conditions which abcxoc M. Daladier's friends consider impossible. 0 m J JAPAN Tae -.'oyernment of the Mikado has sent what is practically an ultimatum to the League of Nations, The correspondent of the Philadelphia Lvening Ledger cables that Japan has informed the League that unless the League1 s proposed report on the Manchurian issue is favorable to Japan* that country will withdraw from the League,^ Meanwhile on the Continent of Asia* the Mikado^ troops were again driving back attacivs by the Chinese forces. This is the third time in four days that the Ninponese soldiers have repelled similar assaults. There is going to be an investigation o^ one of President Hoover's pet babies - The Reconstruction be chairman of a sub-committee to hold an inquiry into the activities of the loans issued by the R.F.C. esnecially the loans granted railroads A FARMS ihe. most practical piece of faria relief yet heard of was announced today in l'lew York. The announcement did not come from a government source, but from the offices of the Mew York Life Insurance Company. Here it is: The Company has suspended foreclosure of all mortgages on farms in the State of Iowa. uThe President of the Company declared that for sometime past it has been the practise of the Mew York Life not to foreclose farm mortgases for non-payment of interest or taxes, even though they may have been long oast due^ ihis, of course, provided the Company is satisfied that the owner is living upon the fa7*m, is trying to keep up the property, and is doing his best to meet his obligations,” It is estimated that the amount of mortgages held by the New York Life in the btate of Iowa alone amounts to one hundred million dollars. 00^GRESS ihe -H-ouse of Representatives today showed symptoms ol steoping on the gas. The correspondent of the Jersey Journal wires his paper that the Democratic leaders in the House are oiling up the machinery to hurry the passage of three important bills: The new Bankruptcy Haw, the Revenue Act, and a Measure to Extend Credit. The housewives of the land will not envy Mrs. Hoover her principal task these days. The first Tiady of the Land is busy on the arduous job of breaking up housekeeping. I sometimes wonder whether the ladies really hate moving as much as they say they do. But even if they didn’t hate it there are probably few ladies who would like the job of moving out of the *.hite House. SNOVv A terrific blizzard swept suddenly over the southern cart of California yesterday, with consequences that remind us of some of the stories of Bret Harte. More than two thousand people are snowbound in the San Bernardino mountedrf"sanga. Southern California has been in the grip of winter for seventeen days now. In Long Beach fifty houses are flooded and their Hu/wJLt. occupants had to be rescued by lifeboats. Then In Reno^they1 ve been without electric juice for ±*m three days. In the San Bernardino- San Berdoo, as the natives call them — five hundred automobiles have been trapped toy the sudden snowstorm. bolph V* There is a nzovement on foot in California to recall trie bovernor of that state, Mr, James Rolph, Junior. Califorala is one of the states where the voters if 3. "p iii 0 X* they donH like a public official they have elected if him can have him hoofed out. The movement to recall Governor Rolph comes from the California State Grange. The reason alleged is that Mr. Rolph1s administration has been extravagant. % SPOOKS I \ c Ie«rned not to be astonlshed at any new.s that comes i rcru California.

For twenty-two years, says the account in the hew York nOi !-d i ele f-'rarn, a man lived and reared a family in Madisonville, Tennessee, under the name of Ted Morris, Last Thursday, Ted Morris was walking along the streets of Knoxville, when suddenly he remembered that hie name was Edgar G, Allen, that he lived, in Ridgev/ooo, M©w ‘Jersey, where he had a wif e and two sons* The minute this flashed into his memory he telegraphed his people in Ridgewood . There it turned out that his sons are grown men established in the real estate business in Ridgewood. The situation attracted the attention of the police, Mrs. Ted Morris with her thirteen year old daughter rushed to Knoxville from1 Madisonville^ the .man she had known • • hci husband V*-... for twenty-two years stared blankly both at her and the thirteen year old .-irl . tie showed no sign of recognizing them. In fact, he recognized none of the people he had too™ as Ted Morris. One of his cons and nis brother went from the east to Knoxville M and there Ted Morris or Edgar Allen immediately recognized his brothei* and embraced him The story is not completely ended yet. The subject of this strange romance is to be held in fcae sanatorium for observation mm ’ RESTAURANT ^ restaura'.it keeper in Seattle had an unusual experience. Seven of his regular customers walked in on him one morning, carrying stepladders, planks and paint. The story in the Brooklyn Times Union relates that the restaurateur thought this peculiar, but then he knew these reruler customers of his as rather eccentric fellows. <Uo he made the usual remark: ” What * s it to be, gents?11 ’’Nothin', we ain't eatin'”, replied one of the customers, a painter. Then the paint r went on to explain. Said he: "For three soli years we've been looking at these walls, and we're sic. of th m • he're goin?' to change then*." And change them they did. That restaurant today is decorated in the manner of an Egyptian tomb, so at least they have a change. Sports writers today are disdussing the somewhat astonishing action of the Governor of Illinois in appointing Packy McFarland,the famous former middle-weight box- fighter as Boxing Commissioner of that State. The tendency among the sports professibrs on the papers is to pronounce it an admirable appointment. For instance the ^ew ¥ork Sun this evening declares that Packy is intelligent, honest and independent. Also he knows the fight game in all its phases Li "kb; Holman Reynolds is now able to see her infant son every day. be learn from the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin that for the last four days she has been daily making.visits to the fifteen million dollar infant in his incubator.
