Schatz, Antelope farmer, who contracted the dread blood stream infection skinning four cows that apparently died of the highly contagious ailment. Anthrax has been fairly preva- Jent among cattle in South Da- kota this man known to have contracted the infection in the state. Schats was brought to Mandan seriously ill Thursday. His con- dition Saturday was reported as serious but somewhat improved. He is being treated with serum brought by airplane from Detroit. Dr. John Cowan of the health department explained that an- thrax appears in three forms in persons. ‘Eruptions appear on the skin where the germ has en- tered through a break. Lungs may become infected from inhal- ing the germ. Intestinal infec- tions appear where contaminated meat has been eaten. In the Schatz case, the infection ap- Peared on the akin.

NEIL With Insurgents on the Santander Front, Aug. 21—(?)—Weather per- mitting, Generalissimo Francisco ex- pects his army to reach Santander possibly in. the early part of next week and that Spanish City may be his before another Saturday. ° Saturday his two strong southern columns hammered with almost mon- Otonous success at dwindling gov- ernment defenses, with but 25 miles to cover before they can knife into Santander, the government’s last port of importance on the Bay of Biscay. In the mountains on Santander’s southwest, with one of these columns, this writer witnessed a battle as fan- tastic as anything in Spain's fantastic civil war. It was 2 battle of ghoste— mud and blood-smeared ghosts strug- gling hand to hand in a dripping fog. For six days Franco's airmen, ar- tillery and infantry had blasted at the ever-receding government line, most of the time under the broiling rays of an uncurtained sun, routing the half-hearted Basques, the more stubborn Santanderese and the die- hard Asturian miners who are the backbone of the northern defenses. Friday the Burgos road column of shock troops thrust through the fog at a point about 12 miles south of Torrelavega. Six battalions of Asturiang—about, 3,000 in all—were waiting on the mountainsides, protected by the fog from Franco's artillery and ‘The struggle lasted for an hour, then the Asturians fell back into the fog.

Fire levelled most of Chinese Cha- pei, Japanese Hongkew, Yangtzepoo, industrial Pootung, across the Whang- poo river, and Kiankwan. Only the international settlement, the French concession and parts of Nantao in the Soochow creek area remain intact. In the absence of firemen, who al- teady had evacuated the areas, the flames continued to spread unchecked in all directions. Three Chinese warplanes droned over the smoking ruins in renewal of warfare Saturday, aiming their bombs at the Japanese consulate. The pro- Jectiles fell wide of the mark, but killed one Chinese and one Japanese and wounded 13 others, all believed to be Japanese. . From the United States cruiser Augusta, $10,000,000 flagship of the American fleet, grim-faced blue Jackets carried the shell-ripped body of a @l-year-old Louisiana boy, one of the crew and the fourth American to be killed since the hostilities started. JOHN LEWIS’ CIO}. Executive Council Charts Fall Drive Against Rival Union Organization Atlantic City, N. J., Aug. 21.—(P)— A fight within the American Federa- tion of Labor’s executive council over wage and hour legislation was fore- cast in usually well-informed quar- ters Saturday as members met to draft plans for a fall campaign against John L, Lewis’ C. I. O. A few old-line federation leaders were expected to make a last-ditch fight at the meeting starting Satur- day to keep the A. F. of L. from sup- porting revival of the federal wage and hour bill that the house rules committee killed at this session of congress. Council members said the meeting will last about ten days. William Green, federation presi- dent, supported this bill over the pro- test of these old-line leaders. Friday night in Washington, he as- sailed the rules committee for refusing to allow the measure to go to the house floor for a vote. Although council members refused to talk for quotation before the meet- ing, their private conversations indi- cated they favored continuing the strategy mapped at their Cincinnati ") meeting last May. Gemines by O. P. Behrer, city chem- it Saturday before Muni- At that meeting the council de- clded: (1) To consolidate A. F. of L. ranks and to conduct a co-ordinated organization campaign throughout American industry. @) To set aside, temporarily, the federation’s traditional policy of en- rolling workers into craft unions when ¥ | industrial organization was more fea- charging theft of three rings worth TO ESTABLISH HEADQUARTERS HERE Other N. D. Congressmen Plan Activities for. Period Follow- ing Adjournment sible. (3) To increase “war chest” by doubling dues. A.

O. unions of the right to enroll certain groups of workers—to the federation nearly two years ago by punching William Hu 5 president of the carpenter's union, in the jaw. Throughout that 1935 convention, Lewis pleaded with the delegates to adopt an unqualified industrial union program for the mass production in- dustries—to try to bring all the work- ers in each big industry into one big after the bombing. An estimated fourth of greater Shanghai’s densely populated area was an unchecked holocaust during the night, the result of air bombard- ment, naval shelling and artillery fire. Property loss reached into tens of millions of dollars. The loss in | quered in a bloodless brush with armed Japanese. The Japanese massed in front of the British Hongkong and Shanghai banks, south of Soochow creek, and demanded entrance, say- ing they wanted their deposits. The Americans disarmed the Jap- anese and turned them over to Japanese bluejackets. The Japa- nese said there were 10,000 of their countfymen in the Hongkew area virtually without food. Americans Ask Transportation One hundred sixty-four Americans appealed to the United States consu- late to provide means for their trans- portation back to the states instead of Manila, where hundreds of refu-. gees already have been taken. It was thought likely that the liners President Hoover and President McKinley, now en route to the Philip- pine port with loads of refugees, would return here Aug. 30 to take ort passengers and then head for the United States, providing the Shang- haf crisis permits.
