» TEUTONIG FASCISM | o romee oo ] IDENIAL OF LEAVE | LOOMS ON HORIZON Conditions in Germany Are ¢ Declared Ripe for Birth of Movement. BY MAXIMILJAN HARDEN. By Radio to The Star. BERLIN, July 24—Bavarian servant girl, Anna Sandmayer, reads in her native village an official placard gummoning all persons to report any finds of secret arms to the nearest disarmament cqgamission. She goes thither and thlls what she has eccidentally learned. ortly thereafter, a man house of her employer in Munich and demands to speak with the girl. She tells her mistress she must give fur- her testimony In the weapon affair. | She leaves the house in the evening ! in company with two men in an auto- bile and does not return. M he two men strangle her and the pext morning workmen discover her body hanging from a branch of a tall tree, with this placard on the breasf “You traitorous female! You betrayed your Fatherland. Therefore the Anished you.” s “Gareis gets al his murder occurred with the connivance of the Munich police.

Thjs state of mind will be further | fllumfned when a Reichstag commis- slon makes public the results of its | ¢ fnvestigations. ~ What has been learned in these investigations rendsi like a report from the darkest middle | ages and outdoes the Sandmayer case in deliberate fllegality and atrocity. | While the German ‘home guardst | and a big part of the “patriotic soclations” have been dissolved, their places have been taken by associations “*for rear vigorous youth” by rifle ! practice with small caliber guns, and supplementary bodies. g And in north Germany, particularly in Prussia, the power of the new “art- amen” movement grows quietly but rapldly. The name comes from the old Germanic root, “Art,” meaning plowed | Jand. The artamen, who are mainly | the unemployed sons of hourgeoise of- | ficers and students, were intended at | first to supply the lack of farm I borers on estates, but_the thankless role of wage cutters did not satisfy | them. They are domiciled by reg ments on estates; they are bound by o ; they wear uniforms;| fill their spare time with com- petitive songs and dancing: they re- | gard Wotan. the bringer of victory, as their highest god, and have dedl- ated themselves to battle against the ‘Hebraized spirit.” This does not mean merely Jews, but also mild spir- jted Christian evangels. This mixture of the Wotan cult with military drill and the tvpical Ger- man_inclination to Jjoin 'something could give birth to a Teutonic Facism. Such symptoms explain why Austen amberlain had to confess regret- fully in the British House of Com- mons that Germany’s disarmament was not vet complete. On the same day, Raymond Poin- care reachieved power in France. No other statesman is in a position to do 80 much for the inner and enduring pacification of Europe. If he is not | smaller than his fate, he will free Germany from the spectre of vengeful undertakings and will at the same time do his fatherland a lasting serv- ce.

By the Acsociated Press. CHICAGO, July 24.—Both barrels of a shotgun roared in the grillroom of an outlying saloon late last night and when the smoke had cleared away, Frank Conlon, 25, lay dead—the in Chicago's The cause of the shooting, like all others, remains a mystery, and the slayers probably never will be caught, police claim, as gangland prefers to hold its own court and pass its own ntences of death upon violators of code. The killing, coming but a day later n that of Philip Piazza, wealthy go Heights cafe owner, may be nked in a new beer and liquor war feud, investigators believe, and may als be related to the present jall scandal caused when Frank McErlane, liquor baron, was found drunk in jail, While a crowd filled the saloon and erriment was at its height, a_shot- gun was pushed through a window and ‘both barrels fired into Conlon's body. - Four men and two women today were taken into custody by the police for questioning. The_police believe that the bullets may have been meant for Vincent McErlane, whose brother is the leader of the McErlane-Saltis alcohol syndi- cate. Police also believe that Conlon was dealing in liquor on a small scale, and may have been slain by rivals whose territory he invaded. S e Sl EX-JUDGE J. W. LATIMER , QUITS D. C.

BY WARL STANDS Temporary Employes Hope for Relief From Decision Finally Dashed. Some hope that still lingered among temporary employes of the Govern- ment that -a means might be found for granting them sick or vacation leave -this Summer, in spite of Con- troller General McCarl's ruling: that such leaves are not permissible, has | been dashed by the Treasury Depart- ment. i This department, it was learned, had caused some of its officlals to make a serious investigation into the whole matter to see if there could be any legal means of granting leave to these employes, ¥ho in the past had benefited from it along with perma- | nent employes of the Government, Treasury Issues Order. Bt after an exhaustive inquiry the Treasury has issued a perfunctory order, without explanation, declaring | as follow | “Temporary employes will not be allowed leave of absence with pay dur- ing any of the period of their tem- |} porary employ: 3 The order was promulgated only after officlals had carefully examined all’ possibilities in the situation, and had given close thought to the Mc- Carl decision since it was rendered, June 28. H Survey of the principal Government || departments revealed that there is a | tendency new to accept the McCarl || decision as final. N | Faint Hope Remains. Employes have hopes, however, in a bill sponsored by the National Fed- eration of Federal Employes, in the|| last session of Congress, which would clear up the situation, and the cam- paign to obtain passage of the meas-|| ure will be pushed now with more||| vigor than ever, H Substantially all Government de- || partments and establishments ‘had;| been granting some form of sick and annual leave to temporary employes with the exception of the Navy D partment, which had taken the posi- tllu? outlined by McCarl in his de- cision. 1 STRIKE' OF RADIO LISTENERS CALLED | Move Aimed at Stations Defined as|| “Air Pirates” by Association. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, July 24—A nation-wide || “radlo strike call” against what it termed unfair stations known at “air pirates,” was issued today by the Broadcast Listeners Association of America. Receiver owners were ad- vised not to listen to stations whieh Jjump their wave lengths or increase || their power. The announcement stated that the action was taken as a result of the relinquishment of control over broad- cast radio by the Department of Com- merce. It urged Broadcast Lis-{| teners Assoclation members in all parts of the United States to go on strike immediately against ali unfair statlons by refusing to listen to them at any time under any circumstances. || Unfair stations are the ones now || known as air pirates—the station that | | Jjumps its wave band originally allot- | ted or which increases the power granted it. The assoclation stated that strikers would be furnished with a list of un- fair stations. i A previous strike conducted through || the. organization a year ago brought an agreement by all Chicago area broadcasters to observe “silent night” by remaining off the air each Monday || night. ‘Simultaneously with the B. L. A. “strike call” one local station, WBBM,, on 226 meters, announced that it planned to increase its power output from 1,500 to 10,000 watts. This sta- tion, owned by the Stewart-Warner Corporation, is located in a residential district. The owner stated that the new power will not create any extra disturbance, since it is planned to modulate the augmented volume until it 1s practically the same as with the smaller power unit. No other.station in the Middle West uses more than 5,000 watts power. WORLD THEOSOPHISTS CONVENE IN HOLLAND 2,000 Attend Meeting at Castle Where Krishnamurti and Annie Besant Will Speak.
