This is interpreted here as a step toward republicanation of | the Belgian defense treaties with other powers and possibility of du- ties under the League of Nation's| Covenant. ‘b MADRID BEING SEARCHED FOR HIDDEN ENEMY Government Takes Prompt Action Following Captiv Bear Turns Killer; Twflden Dead Inn Keeper and Helper Are Mauled in Cage— - PROGRESS HERE | Juneau Enjoyi_ng Best Years, | Says E.
