GERMAN REARMAMENT
(By The Associated Press)
UNDATED, March 20—While Germany exultantly
emphasized backing of Hitler’s re-armament declaration,
the Reich entered into preparations for the forthcoming
negotiations with Sir John Simon, on equal terms.
Other powers are preparing steps to meet Germany’s
new action. The French cabinet decided to make an issue
of Germany’s violation of the treaty by raising the question
before the League of Nation’s Council, and the dispatching
of a strong protest to Berlin..
The French government also succeeded in bringing
about arrangements for a tri-parte conference of France,
Great Britain and Italy, on the new European situation, Bri
tain and Italy agreeing to send representatives to Paris for
a meeting Saturday. It will be a preliminary one, with
Sir John Simon who is enroute to Berlin, in attendance. Ful
vio Suvich, Italian Under-Secretary of State will represent
Italy..
The concensus of official and public opinion gathered
from the various European capitals, is that there is no im
mediate danger of war, although the old world is headed
eventually for another “Armageddon.” unless the problem
of national security is solved .
France has already drafted a strongly worded protest
informing Germany that she will refuse to acknowledge in
any future negotiations, the Reich’s unilateral action in
scrapping the military clauses of the Versailles Treaty.
The communication was reported to be much firmer than
the British note..
President Roosevelt today weighed the question of a
protest to Germany.. House Committees in the national
congress laid plans to push measures through, increasing
the United States’ armed strength afloat and ashore..

Cats In Fight Over
The Picture Man
Blown Sidewalk
SYRACUSE, N Y., Feb.—Two fe
male cats were strolling contentedly
down Comstock avenue in Syracuse,
New York, enjoying the brief mom
ent of sunshine one afternoon re
cently, when a brisk wind drew the
picture of a man into their path,
says the Syracuse Daily Orange
Both females immediately came to
a standstill and gazed at the picture
One boldly put her paw on the
picture, pinning it to the sidewalk,
and the other, also claiming posses
sion followed suit.. Within a split
second they were at each other, and
a fierce struggle ensued The fight
stopped about a minute later when
the picture was in shreds. Then,
satisfied that the other had lost the
man, the two females continued
their stroll.. “All of which proves
that co-eds are not the only ones
who will fight to keep their men,”
remarks the writer..
FOUND—Three keys on a string.

Spell The Word
> e i s s o r s
Toronto, — Ernest B Roberts, who
spent 19 ways ti'ying to reform the
world's spelling, said the word “scis
sors" could be spelled more than
596,000 different ways. Me did not
list them.
A "loose system” like English
which permitted such levity in the
spelling was to be scorned, he said.
Roberts used the word as an ex
ample in advocating his “spel-rid
ryt” system, which he believes should
be adopted. “Spel-rid-ryt” means
spell, read, write in the Roberts
modernized language.
“There is nothing sillier than our
English spelling”, he asserted. “Ov
er 20,000 of our everyday newspap
er words are hard to spell under the
systemless system our children have
to grind through.
"All those whose mother tongue
is English are handicapped”.

Housewife—I'm afraid you’re not
fond of work.
Hobo—Why should I be? Work
is what killed my poor wife.
