4 ee MONDAY, DECEMBER 24, 1928 LAST OF SONS BACK "AND KING IMPROVES AS FAMILY UNITES Duké of Gloucester Motors to Buckingham Palace on Ar- rival From Africa London, Dec. 24—(#)—King George was doing probably as well as could be expected today in the slow prog- tess from the depths into which his Brave illness had plunged him, and y there was a united family at Bucking- ae palace for the Christmas holi- lays. The last of the three sons who were in distant parts of the far-flung Brit- @ ish empire when the king was taken gravely ill more than a month ago returned to the palace today. The arrival of the Duke of Gloucester a fortnight after the Prince: of Wales and a few days after his younger brother, Prince George, completed the family party. The duke, who reached Southamp- ton from South Africa early today, stepped through the portals of Buck- Ingham palace in the middle of the forenoon, shortly before his father's Physicians issued this bulletin: “The .king has had a quiet night. ‘The local condition continues to show Progress. The general condition re- mains unchanged.” The duke had driven his own car from Southampton, a distance of 4» More than 78 miles, in two hours and 20 minutes, despite “greasy” roads. ‘The returning son found the atmos- phere of the palace, which was one of deep anxiety when he started his trip from South Africa, one of sub- dued optimism as to the outcome of his majesty’s illness. ‘While physicians today were unable to report any further definite im- provement in his general condition, it was pointed out in authoritative quarters that so gradual and slight is the progress made that it is often im- possible for the doctors to detect any change in the patient's condition in the interval between one bulletin and Bnother, The cumulative effect, how- ever, of a number of small steps for- ward made it possible for them to bay that the king was definitely in a much better position than a week ago. Assurances were given that nothing , has taken place to check the course of the king's progress thus far, and the doctors were stated to be satis- fied with the way things are going. ‘There was a distinct air of hopeful- ness among household officials this 4 morning. HOOVER CRITICISM OF COOLIDGE DENIED Somebody in Buenos Aires Drew on Imagination, Ac- cording to Interpreter 4 Rio Janeiro, Brazil, Dec. 24.—(7)— Butler Sherwell, state department in- terpreter for President-elect Hoover, has issued a denial of implications that Mr. Hoover criticized the policies of President Coolidge during gn inter- view with President Yrigoyen of Ar- gentina, as published in a Buenos Aires newspaper, last week. The statement, issued before the departure of the Utah on her home- ward-bound voyage, was as follows: “I have been informed of state- ments in dispatches in the American Press, quoting from an Argentine newspaper which purports to give an interview between Mr. Hoover and President Yrigoyen. As I was pres- ent and acted as interpreter in the interview, I can state emphatically «that Mr. Hoover did not in any way criticize the policies of President Coolidge but far fror: it, he vigorous- ly supported those policies.” Seas ‘» Dispatches from Buenos Aires on Dec. 19 told of an interview between THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE _-:: PA | S-4 Will Sink Again—for Safety’s Sake attempt to raise her quickly. Frontier Clash Between Bolivia and Paraguay Soldiers May Start Tragedy Contested Area Once Likened to Hell Because of Terrain and Indians With Hoover in Latin America, Dec. 24.—(NEA)—(By Cable)—A_ bullet fired in the little town of Sarajevo in August, 1924, proved the spark that ) touched a war that swept Europe and eventually reached out to blight the whole world. Likewise, the recent clash between | a handful of Bolivian and Para- guayan soldiers at Fort Vanguardia, on the disputed frontier between those two countries, may prove the spark that will touch off a disastrous South President-elect Hoover and President Yrigoyen, as published in the news- paper La Epoch. President Yrigoyen was quoted by the paper as saying that he believed that Mr. Hoover was not in accord with the ideas of Pres- ident Coolidge. Wild Dogs Are Driven from City of Nanking Nanking, Dec. 24.—(#)—Nanking has become almost a dogless city un- der the rigorous enforcement of an edict promulgated by the nationalist government. To the traveler accustomed to the sight of wild dogs barking and fight- ing in Chinese streets, Nanking is unique. Along with other changes, numerous and startling, which are designed to make + real capital out of Nanking, the rolice have orders to confiscate all dogs found without license tags. Prosperity Obliges Merchants to Close Foochow, Dec. 24!—()—A baker- confectioner in this city has stopped manufacturing candy because busi- 4,¢ness became too brisk. The demand exceeded supply and he could think of no solution but to suspend trade entirely. Trouble started when the foreign population discovered a tiny Chinese bakery making ‘marshmallows of an excellent quality. Production stopped suddenly and the merchant explained that too many persons were coming to buy candy, McHENRY BANK CLOSES ‘= the closing was depleted reserve. The institution was capitalized at $15,- American war unless the mediation efforts at Washington succeed in bringing peace. Eyen a visitor to South America can see that the volatileness of contigu- ous nations is dangerous. Especially does this apply to Chile, which is proud, powerful and prepared for war and is on the most friendly terms with little Paraguay. Peru, which fears Chile, is friendly to Bolivia for that reason. The sores of bygone wars are still being nursed. In Fear of Chile It is the same fear of Chile, it ap- pears, that has proved the sole check | on Bolivia which, if opposed only by Paraguay in a war, would stand to clinch thousands of square miles of disputed territory on the frontier. This land contains possibly much oil, rich quebracho forests and would also afford inland Bolivia a route to the sea, down the mighty Parana to the Atlantic. The “Gran Chaco,” as the disputed territory between Bolivia and Para- guay is known, is one of the most primitive areas in the world. Filled with alligators, huge poisonous snakes and strange beasts of many kinds, it is populated by roving Indians who follow the same customs and habits The submarine S-4, shown above, which sank with a loss of 42 lives off the Atlantic coast a year ago, is to be sunk again—but this time in the hope that such disasters will be avoided in the future. The S-4, with no one aboard her, will be dropped into water 100 to 225 feet deep in Long Island Sound and navy experts will The principal devices to be tested are the pad-eyes—four huge rings, two on either side of the hull, to which hooks and chains attached to pontoons may be fastened. Also to be tested soon is the “artifical lung,” worn by the seaman shown lower left, which is designed to enable sailors to escape from sunken submarines while they are at the sea bottom. He is standing in the new “escape hatch” through which he will enter the water. Lieut. C. B. Monson, of the U. S. Navy, inventor of the “artificial lung,” and Lieut. Norman 8. Ives, new commanding officer of the 8-4, are shown aboard the craft at New London, Conn., after she was re- conditioned. DISASTROUS SOUTH AMERICAN WAR MAY BE AVERTED BY PEACE IN CHACO ROW prices skyrocketing. There have also been rumors that the land is rich in oil deposits. Bolivia, still smarting from the loss of its Pacific seaport and its rich ni- trate deposits to Chili in bygone wars, is heavily mortgaged by foreign loans. Only lasts year it borrowed $23,000,- 000 from the United States. The coun- try is rich in tin, tannin and other natural resources. Chile and Peru have never composed their differences over the Tacna-Arica boundary dis- pute. x Paraguay’s Disastrous War It is doubtful if any nation could be less prepared for war than little Para- guay, which has not yet fully recov- ered from the disastrous Lopez wars that almost wrecked the country two generations ago. Francisco Lopez, a dictator who had spent some years in France and had dreams of becoming “the Napoleon of South America,” plunged Paraguay into a bloody war with Brazil, Argen- tina and Uruguay. He was aided by his cruel and designing mistress, a Madame Lynch, whom he had brought from Paris. Nero was never more cruel than these two bloody adventurers. In eight years of warfare they bled Paraguay to 30,000 men as against a Population of 200,000 women and chil- dren. Toward the last, boys of 12 were pushed into the army and flogged when they fell from exhaus- tion. Men who could not fight were executed. The close of the war in 1870 left Paraguay with a population of less than 250,000 people ‘as com- A Flower Amid .the Cactus of life today as they did when Ferdi- nand Magellan sailed down the east coast of the continent four hundred + 000; had a surplus of $4,000 and de- Posits of $50,000. : FRAUD CHARGES DROPPE!

Al- most every man and boy above 15 had been killed or wounded. The country was a land of women, old men, chil- dren and cripples. After looting the national treasury, Lopez and Madame Lynch sought to escape to France. She made her get- away safely, but the tyrant was killed by Brazilian soldiers. Most of the millions that they stole are still be- lieved to be buried somewhere in the CHRIST IS COMING SOON, SAY NORNNS First Presidency of Church Is- sues Prediction of Second Advent of Lord Salt Lake City, Utah, Dec. 24.— (AP) —Members of the first presi- dency of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Mormon) in a Christmas message say signs are multiplying that the second coming of Christ is nigh. “The hour and the day of the Lord’s future advent is withheld from the knowledge of both men and angels,” the statement says, “yet the signs so defintely specified as har- bingers of .his coming are multiplying apace. The prevailing unrest among :men and nations, the fury of the ele- ments, widespread destruction by land and sea, the frequency and intensity of volcanic and earthquake disturb- ances, all tell to the well-tuned and listening ear that the gladsome, yet terrible day of the Lord is nigh—aye, even at our doors.” The statement is signed by Heber J. Grant, Anthony W. Ivans and Charles W. Nibley, members of the first presidency of the church.
