SUNKER, DIES FROM SPLINTER i Tried to Overthrow German “Republican Government Two Years Ago Ww AS AMERICAN BORN, | eee, |jNeglected Injury Caused by Wood Splinter and Cancer Developed Stockholm, July 19—A splinter of |,Wood in one eye caused the death ‘Pot ‘Dr. Wolfgang Kapp, the American | born German junker who tried to overthrow the German republican government about two years ago, and Awho died recently in Germany. Dr. Kapp, who was residing in Sweden at the time of his injury, neglected it, ; and when at last he consulted a specialist examination of affected “optic showed that a malignant cancer had developed. The .injured eye was removed but the cancer persisted, and when Dr. ‘app--returned to Germany he was instantly arrested only to be taken to the hosital where he died. When Dr. Kapp's intended coup- ‘d’etat failed, he secured a false pass- port, fled to Sweden by airplane, and won the government’s permission to remain in the country on the ground that he was a political refugee. He was soon joined by his wife and jaughter, and the Kapp family set- ied on a beautiful country estate t Hallekis, Here they spent nearly jtwo years, undisturbed by the post- ‘war crisis in world politics. The Kapps lived simply and unos- tentatively in Hallekis. Mrs. Kapp did her own housework, while Dr. Kapp attended to the outdoor duties lof the household, sike his former ‘imperial master, Dr. Kapp in his ex- ‘hile took up wood-sawing and split- ‘ting, and it was while he was en- ‘gaged in splitting wood for the kitch- len range that he met with the in- jury ‘that led'to his death. a During his residence at Hallekis ‘Dr. Kapp proved to be anything but the fire-eating Prussian junker he “had been, pictured. At one erucial point during the great waf he chal- jjlenged ‘Chancellor Bethmann-Hollweg. to, a duel, and after peace was re- ‘stored he planned to crush the un- stable German Socialist Yegime with typical Prussian ruthlessness. He actually captured Berlin, drove the Ebert government to Dresden, and ruled over the German capital for five days. Kapp was accused of be- ing a reactionary, working for the ultimate restoration of the monar- chy, but he always strongly denied his, b The Swedes of the Hallekis com- ‘munity who had supposed Dr. Kapp ‘to be a roaring Prussian of the most obnoxious type, found him a cour- teous, and charming old gentleman. AB te-was kindly, democratic and very soeial,-frequently visiting the neigh- ‘boring farms and chatting with the farmers and their workmen, among ‘whom he became very popular. His tendency |to mingle on terms of equality with all classes probably re- sulted “from his early American training, Kapp having spent his early youth in New York City where he as born in 1852, The people who best knew Dr. Kapp in Sweden de- ‘scribe him as a model neighbor and genial gentleman. SWEDEN IS “SHIPPING” ‘Less Than Eight Percent of Her Shipping Idle Stockholm, July 19—Less .than eight per cent of Swedish shipping is now idle, according to the. latest report of the Swedish Shipowners’ association. This. report shows a sharp contrast to conditions: a year ‘ago, when in June’ Swedish shipping depression reached bottom mark with over 44 per cent of the country’s to- ‘al ‘tonnage idlé and nearly 46 per cent of the men employed laid off. The-xeport of the Shipowners asso- ciation covers, only its membership, put virtually all of the country’s {shipping is owned by members: of the | hassociation. , H ‘The recovery of Sweden in ship- ping is based largely on the country's approach to normal in many of its most important industries and the rapid increase in exports. 2 BREAD, MEAT, I | MOSCOW DROPS Sugar and Other ‘Staples, ‘However, Are Rising Moscow, July 19—For the first time in several years prices’ of the two staple foodstuffs, bread and meat, have shown a slight drop in the Moscow markets. But other ste- ples, such as sugar and butter, are rising. Simultaneously. the Soviet ruble which for more than a month had stood at about 4,000,000 to the dollar, advanced in value to the ratio of 3,800,000 to the dollar. A number of factors contributed to the drop in bread prices, among them being the open sale on the ‘markets of the contents of American Relief Administration food packiges, and the arrival in Moscow of grain from abroad. ~ Prices are dropping alsq in the famine area, and in the country they are gradually becoming lower, than BY PHILIP J. SINNOT Edmonton, Alberta, July 19.— A perilous flight to the North Pole across 1,500 miles of unpeo- pled Arctic wastes—a flight Qxilled aviators have called impossible and suicidal—will interrupt the hon- eymoon of Lieutenant Elmer & Fullerton and his bride. Fullerton is the pilot who will guide Captain * Roald Amundsen’s plane on the most daring aviation feat in history, a non-stop flight from Alaska to Spitzbergen over the North Pole, with death as the penalty for any miscalculation or mishap. Avis Fullerton, the aviator’s young bride, will receive a farewell letter mailed from Point Barrow, Alaska, civilization’s northernmost outpost on the American ‘conti- nent. Then will come silence until— The telegraph wires flash news of Fullerton’s safe arrival at Spitz- bergen, or. until— Wanderers from the frozen north bring back’ news that the expedi- tion has failed. “Bul he’s going to’ win,” in- WESTERN DANCES IMMORAL? ASK THE JAPANESE Tokio, Japan, July 19—The ques- tion whether western dances are im- moral is the subject~of a lively de- bate in the Japanese newspapers at present. In the last few ‘years western dancing has grown popular among Japanese women, especially those who have | lived abroad, al- though it is by no means general as yet. They dance very gracefully in’ their native costume and heelless slippers but the older and less mod- ernised “Japanese “frown-’ on : the growing custom. The geisha declare that the modern dance is immorat- but it is: explained that taney may be influenced by the loss of custom that the latest western invasion is causing them. The young Japanese man would much rather dance him- self than watch geisha dancing. TOOK CHARITY FUNDS, CHARGE Mohall, N.

ELMER J. FULLERTON AND HER AVIATOR HUSBAND WHOM SHE WILL ALLOW TO RISK DEATH ACROSS THE POLE to FURTHER HIS CAREER. IN A _ FLIGHT sists Mrs. Fullerton, though there’s a suspicion of tears in her eyes. “My husband is a cautious flyer who takes no unnecessary chances. If the flight is humanly possible, he’ll make it safely. “Why did I consent to let him go? Because Elmer loves flying more than anything else. Because I realize with him the pioneering possibilities of such a flight. “This flight, if successful, will establish the commercial possibili- ties of aircraft. “Besides I feel this {s the. one big opportunity of Elmer's life as a flying pilot. If he succeeds, his future will be assured: “I shan’t worry. Elmer told me not to be troubled if I do not hear from him for a year, for he_mgy reach Spitzbergen too late to get the boat out.” The Fullerton marriage grew out of a wartime romance. Ful- lerton met ‘his. bride when he was an aviation instructor at East- bourne, England, and she was a British war nurse. 1 Both . returned to Canada, and the marriage took place at Mon- treal. some time ago, waived preliminary examination and was bound over to the district court under $5,000 bail. Complaint was signed by J. D. Tay- lor, deputy county auditor and pres-|- ent Red Cross secretary, who- re- placed Iverson three months ago when national headquarters of the American Red Cross demanded the resignation of Iverson.

Major-General Scely'started the trou- ble—as trouble is often started here by ‘asking a question in parliament as to how the country was fixed for airplanés in ease of war. The reply of Captain Guest, the air minister, was not exactly calculated to make nervous people feel com- fortable. He said that while the country in 1920 had 186 civil air. planes fit for war, it‘now had 83 and these were of 28 different types,’ This year, there are only 18 machines act- ually flying in regular service.

No provision has been made to ensure that civil machines and. per- sonnel shall take part in the /aerial defense of the country in case of war, France has, at present 126 squadroris of airplanes and wilt have 220 squadrons by the end of this year.

Just the same, there is no good reason why he should have a monopoly of thib form of amusement, or why any- one shouldn’t have fun with targets less dangerous thart the human heart. ‘ That was how the Campfire Girls figured it out when they started to revive the sport. So they made it a part of their training to master the technique of the bow and ar- row and now they are in, demand for teaching society and business girls how to play Diana’s favorite game. At parks, country clubs and on greenswards generally, splashy looking targets are being erected and the most attractive sport togs are being exhibited to advantage.
