Nine Americans and many natives have been slain since Saturday. The insurgents suddenly appeared at, Logtown on the morning of April 11 at about 7 a. m., barely giving the commissary clerk time to call the Wawa junction telephone exchange. He shouted “help”. into the mouth- piece and ran, leaving the receiver down. The Wawa operator as a conse- quence was able to hear the bandits as they looted the commissary and notified Puerto Cabezas and other encampments in the vicinity. An automobile carrying William Selser and “Pinkie” Wilson, and Arthur Curtis, Americans, took a marine and four of the guardia to- ward the lumber camp but stopped some distance away to await Captain Harlen Pefley and/four more of the Guardia, before proceeding to town.

Addressing the annual Red Cross convention, Hines reviewed what had been done for former service men. ‘Without referring to demands in the last congress for full payment of adjusted compensation certificates, or to the new law which permits World war veterans to borrow 50 per cent of & certificate’s value, Hines said: “It would seem to me further ex- tensions merit study and deliberation. ‘Veterans must manifest a peace-time Patriotism in connection with future demands. comparable to that which brought them honor in the war, if the burden upon the government for their relief is not to become intolerable and reaction impair their cause. “If we. are to teach our young men as a matter of principle that service to our country means thut the gov- ernment thereafter must reward that service, irrespective of need, then we are undermining the very foundation of good citizenship.” Hines said everyone is “proud of the fact that our government has been able to go so far in granting re- Mef to our veterans, and the American people will ‘make no complaint as to the cost_of such relief provided these. expenditures go to those who are de- serving.” An “adequate” national relief pol- icy, he asserted, should cover hos- pitalization, domiciliary care, employ- ment preference, compensation for service-connected disabilities and al- Jowances or pensions for Deena mili- tary service. His program would include no monetary assistance to men not in- cppacitated, but would embody relief for widows and children left by dis- abled veterans. Hines said about $13,000,000,000 had been spent for veterans’ relief meas- ures since 1789, of which around $5,000,000,000 has gone to World war service men. He added it was a safe prediction that by 1950 disbursements for veterans’ relief will have reached $21,850,000,000—the cost of the World FRIEND OF LONG APPEARS ELECTED John H.

An anonymous letter, received Monday by it Roche, chief investigator of the state's attorney's office, said that Blumer was being held prisoner in a summer hotel known as “Hermansen’s Place” on Lake Geneva, near Elkhorn, Wis.

ROOSEVELT SCHOOL TO REOPEN MONDAY, OFFICIALS ANNOUNCE Saxvik Announces Division of Time to Accommodate Ail Classes in Structure It probably will never be possible to definitely determine just what caused the fire and damage esti- mated at over $20,000.00 at the Roosevelt school here Tuesday morn- ing, according to Fire Chief H. A. ‘Thompson. Several theories have been ad- vanced, he said, but owing to the condition of the building it will not be possible to accurately fix the cause. One theory is that the fire started from a defective flue and it is thought that the exhaust fan used in the heating apparatus might have blown smoldering ashes up the flue, thus causing the fire. Another possible fire cause, firemen think, might have been a short circuit in an electric hot plate kept on the third floor. Thompson pointed out that the wiring in the building was en- closed in metal conduit and he doubted that a short circuit in the hot plate could have generated enough heat to start the blaze. W. E. Cole, president of the school is thought that the two lower floors of the building can be put in shape so that school can be held in them by the first of the week. An insurance adjuster will appraise the damage Wednesday, he said, and when this is done work of remodeling will be begun at once. School Superintendent H. O.

Scores of members of the aristoc- racy of Spain also were bound out of Spain on express trains. With the queen were the infantas Cristina and Beatriz, the crown prince of the Asturias and Prince Gonzalo, the youngest son. One untoward incident marked the departure of the royal family. A Re- publican sympathizer at the station, during an interval in the shout of the monarchists for royalty, shouted “Viva Republica!” He was promptly manhandled by a group of aristocrats and forced off the station platform.
