BERLIN, Feb. 23.—One hundred
and sixty thousand volunteers, uni-
formed in khaki, trained and ready
for instant service in defense of the
German republic, paraded in various
cities of the Reich today.
They were picked members of the
Reichsbanner, organization of repub-
lican ex-servicemen, formed seven
years ago to protect the young Wei-
mar republic against its enemies at
home.
The marchers Avore knapsacks, but
did not carry weapons, as the purpose
of their nation-wide demonstration
was to show both friends and foes
of the republic what kind of citizens
and how many of them were instant-
ly ready to bear arms on the side of
the government in case any attempts
are made at its overthrow.
The Berlin demonstration centered
in the Lustgarten, where 16,000 uni-
formed Reichsbanner men and 2,000
other supporters of the republic heard
the Reichsbanner chieftain, Friedrich
Otto Hoersing, warn radicals of the
left and right that the republic found-
ed in 1918 has the people behind it
and any attempt to overthrow it is
foredoomed to failure.
“There are 160,000 of our men who
have undergone special training in the
past few months and are assembled
this very moment throughout Ger-
many,” he said. “We do not want civil
war, nor are we trying to ‘play sol-
dier.’ All we want is to be prepared
to defend the republic.”
Communists made several attempts
to disturb this demonstration but Were
quickly squelched by police.

WACO, Texas, Feb. 20.—Many Cen-
tral Texas cities were represented at
the annual meeting here Friday at
the City Club of the Fourth District
Bankers’ Association. Members of the
“flying squadron,” composed of prom-
inent bankers of Texas cities and a
number of Northern and Eastern cities
were also present. Chairman Lee
Brady, vice president of the First Na-
tional Bank of Mart, presided.
At the business session, Cecil B.
James, vice president of the Hamilton
National Bank, Hamilton, was elected
chairman; George England, cashier of
the First National Bank of McGregor,
being chosen as secretary.
The business session was followed
by a luncheon at the City Club.
In his message of good will, John
Q. Adams, president of the Texas
Bankess’ Association, and president of
the Winters State Bank, Winters, re-
marked that “installment buying is
sapping the life blood of our Nation;
it is endangering the financial equili-
brium of our city and county banks.

ing their production for one and two
years to buy things the manufactur-
ers want to sell them.

GUARDS AT ILLINOIS
PEN AMBUSH TRIO
JOILET, 111., Feb. 22.—Two con-
victs were killed and a third fatally
wounded as they were lowering them-
selves to freedom over the 20-foot
wall of the Illinois state penitentiary
just before dawn today.
All three were serving sentences
from Cook County. Two were killed
by-the first blast of guns in the hands
of guards, warned in advance of the
break and ambushed for it. They were
Joseph Norkiewicz, 31, and Julio
Chileno, 39, both convicted on a confi-
dence game charge.
Alvin J. Kilman, 34, serving for
robbery, died several hours later in
the prison hospital.
The big stone prison, housing 1800
men, was quiet today and Col. Frank
D. Whipp, state prison head, tem-
porarily in charge, said there was no
prison-wide unrest and none expected.
The three men were members of a
kitchen detail of five, and the plot was
confined to that group, Colonel Whipp
said. The other two scuttled to safety.
They were questioned, but officials
refused to reveal their names.
Warned three weeks ago of the at-
tempted break, penitentiary officials
had placed extra guard details around
the outside walls. The three men never
had a chance to get away. They were
focused in the huge prison search-
light and made a certain target for
the guards as they tried frantically to
get away from the hail of death.
Norkiewicz was serving 10 years.
Kilman was doing 20 years and
Chileno 10. Previously, Chileno had
served jail terms in Paterson, N. J.,
Baltimore, Trenton, N. J., and Flint,
Michigan.
FORMER WEST TEXAS
INDIAN FIGHTER DIES
SAN ANGELO, Feb. 21.—Sam J.
DeLong, 85, one of the last Indian
fighters in West Texas, died Satur-
day night at the home of a daugh-
ter, Mrs. Emma Peeples, of Chris-
toval, 18 miles south of here.
The fight occurred in 1876, near
Christoval, where Sam and his bro-
ther, the late William DeLong, had
built a picket house. Sam returned
to the house one day to get an ax
and found a Comanche ransacking the
rooms. After a struggle, the Indian
followed the white man outside, where
the redskin was killed.
Jose Zepeda, foreign representative of
the insurgent leader, Augustino San-
dino.
His first proposal Saturday, that the
United States marines in Nicaragua
withdraw immediately, after which
Sandino would cease his activities, met
with a cold reception in Washington.
The new proposal is to begin evac-
uation immediately or to agree to im-
mediate evacuation, the Sandino fac-
tion to lay down its arms when noti-
fication is given, Sandino giving guar-
antees against resuming hostilities.
“A dispatch from Washington says
that hostilities would cease the mo- towns on No. 108.
ment the rebels abandoned their arms
somewhat perplexed me,” Zepeda said.
“I wonder if this means the marines
would be withdrawn so soon as San-
dino lays down his weapons. ‘
“If such is the case, it seems to be
there is a good chance to bring about
the pacification of the country. The
fighting now is growing more intense
and if it continues will mean the use-
less sacrifice of many lives.
“Would the United States and Mon-
cada government agree to immediate
withdrawal of *che marines if the
Sandino faction laid down its arms
and gave adequate assurance that it
would remain peaceful?
“I assume that if this were done
there would be assurance against any

J. R. Key.
Dear Sir;—
I have just returned from Austin
where I tried to complete plans for
Governor Sterling and the Highway
Commission to attend the general
meeting scheduled for Burnet in the
interest of Highway 108, hoping that
we could have this meeting immedi-
ately following the Highway Commis-
sion meeting which will adjourn on
March 3, and I phoned Judge Ely, the
chairman at Abilene and his time is
taken for the remainder of that week
and he suggested that we get together
with the Governor on the 27, and de-
cide on some date during the week of
March 9, it will be either 10, 11 or
12, I am most sure.
After talking to Judge Ely I took
the matter up«with the Governor again
and he said he did not have any date
for those dates and he would hold
them open until we decided the date
for Highway No. 108. I am giving you
this advance information in order that
you may know we are able to carry
out the program as outlined to you a
short time ago when I visited the
Now, we want to get the County
Judges and Commissioners of each
county to attend this meeting and
also the Mayor of each town through
which No. 108 runs. I suggest that you
gentlemen get busy and ask your Com-
missioners Court and Mayors to hold

An Unpleasant Subject ,
All of the functions of life are not
pleasant to consider. Perhaps this is
why some mothers refuse to think that
such symptoms as restless sleep, loss of
flesh, lack of appetite or itching nose
and fingers in their children, can be
caused by round or pin worms. Many
mothers have proven, however, that a
few doses of White’s Cream Vermi-
fuge, that sure and harmless worm
expellant, will make these symptoms
disappear. You can get White’s Cream

B. A. U. MEETING
The B. A. U. met Friday evening at
7:30 o’clock in the home of Mr. and
Mrs. E. B. Thomas.
During the business session the vice
president, Joe Seale, talked of the en-
listment of new members. Mrs. J. O.
Mace made some helpful remarks on
daily Bible reading after which the
“Shadow Plan” was adopted for the
future. There being no further busi-
ness the meeting was given over to
a social hour which had been ably
planned by Mrs. C. T. Harkey.
Mesdames Perry and Gamel brought
a number of interesting games, carry-
ing out the George Washington motif.
There was a riddle contest on small
hatchets, a word contest, a pillow race
and others, but the fun of the evening
reached its apex when Bro. Avant
gave his “special number.” Space will
not permit a complete description of
this.
A delicious refreshment plate con-
sisting of sandwiches, fruit salad, cake
and hot tea was served by Dr. Har-
key’s group.
The crowd was one of the largest
we have had, some very welcome visit-
ors being Mr. and Mrs. D. H. Harris of
Sweetwater, Roy Yazell, Mesdames
B. C. Greeson, A. J. Mackey, A. H. Mc-
Guire, Daugherty and C. N. Witcher.
The evening was thoroughly enjoy-
ed and we are looking forward to an-
other good time next month in the
home of Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Harris
with Mrs. Walter Smith’s group in
charge.

■that is, any unjustified intervention.
Such an assurance, of course, would
be necessary.”
The doctor declared that the only
cause of warfare now in Nicaragua
is the presence of the marines and
that their departure will be a signal
for immediate peace.
DRY LAW FIGHT DUE AT
PARLEY OF DEMOCRATS
WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.—Enough
votes to defeat a wet resolution at the
March 5 meeting of the Democratic
national committee were claimed Sun-
day by Senator Morrison of North
Carolina.
The prohibition storm has broken
with full force over the Democrats as
a result of persistent and undenied
reports that Chairman Raskob of the
national committee intends to seek a
commitment of the party against na-
tional prohibition at the special meet-
ing.
Senator Morrison’s claim revealed a
movement by the drys to prepare for
any prohibition contest which may
arise at the conference. Senator Mor-
rison will represent North Carolina at
the meeting.
While the militant prohibition fac-
tion of the party is arming for action,
the veteran Democratic chieftains on
Capitol Hill are moving to avert the
threatened prohibition outbreak by
calling off the reported wet resolu-
tion.
Mayor and we think Fort Worth will
do likewise.
Kindly advise me- if this program
suits your town and1 if you will lend
your earnest cooperation in making
this one of the most important High-
way meetings ever held in Texas.
Your very truly,
D. E. COLP.

GYPSIES INVADE LAMPASAS
Early Saturday morning a band of
Gypsies, about ten automobile loads,
came into Lampasas and in a. very
short time they scattered like quails
over the business section of the city.

trail and in a very short time they
were all rounded up and started out
of the city on their eastward journey.
