Hatred Is Intensified By MARK SULLIVAN. Cologne, July 6.—Whatever the French government might conclude as an incident of negotiations with Great Britain, most French military leaders will not willingly see any abandonment of their theory of the Rhineland as a buffer state. Every well-informed person will be surprised if the French government abandons this idea except in exchange for some equally dependable military guaranty. If the French government should give it up the military men will, of course, bow to 'that Judgment. But they will be sure to counsel the gov ernment to stick to the Rhineland as a buffer state, and in their hearts will not cease to think that that is the best assurance of France's safety. They wanted it at the time of the peace conference and were induced to . rCje it up by America and by Britain's fce*0nfulfilled promise to safeguard France against Germany. They want it now because their military judg ment dictates it. Tolerant of Independence. At most times the idea of an inde pendent Rhineland does not greatly shock the Germans who live In that territory. Local business men are tol erant of it. The exploitation idea goes up and down and just now it is rather much in the air. The more in tense opposition to it conies less from tlie Rhineland itself than from the rest of Germany, which would feel outraged to see this territory taken or depart of its own accord. Locally, where the occupying arm ies have been for more than four years, the public is on the best of terms with them, especially with the British. Indeed, the money vspent by the British officers and men is count ed as an asset by local tradesmen. The American r.eader, of course, must not confuse the Rhineland with the Ruhr district, which the French went into last January. itesori 10 uaroarisin. In that territory the opposition to the French occupying army grows more intense every day. until now the French are compelled to resort to a policy of frightfulness not differing much from that which the German army followed during the war, and which the French, then victims in “'end of the conqueror, denounced as iglently. Among the people of the Ruhr^ there is a notion that as a result of pending negotiations, France may cease to occupy the Ruhr immediate ly. To an observer fresh from I’aris, that seems to he most improbable; tile sternness of the French occupy ing army of the Ruhr tends to stiffen nil the German people, including those living in the Rhineland, against the thought of the Rhineland as a buffer state and against everything else in the nature of a compromise or ame lioration. For tlte moment the feeling of self sconscious national solidarity is very strong. One plan recently discussed here with only a vague idea of wheth er it is possible, is that if the occu pation of the Ruhr must continue, there should he substituted for the presence of the French alone n jfiint occupation. Including the Knglish army, which iias become so well liked where it is now. (Copyright, 1933.) Five Persons Are Killed by Lightning at Pittsburgh By International News Smlre. Pittsburgh.

But he needs only to buy a through railroad ticket, get on the train, and go. When a man wants to go from London to Budapest, he must pass through several countries, each with a different language, to get there. But he needs to get pass ports, have them vised, and un wind spools of red tape before he reaches his destination. This example of international bar riers is cited as one of the reasons why there should be a United States of Europe by Mark Sullivan, political writer, in The Omaha Sun day Bee. The cooperative congress of Edin burgh is lauded by Smith W. Bronkliart, United States senator from Iowa, in a special article In The Omaha Sunday Bee. Rev. l)r. Russell H. Cantwell, dis tinguished lecturer, clergyman and philanthropist, explains what lie would do to make every commu nity, large or small, a place where vice would have no "customers” in a specially illustrated feature *tory on his model city in The Omaha Sunday Ree. "There Are Still Fairies” is the title of an interesting short story by William Dudley Pelley, in which a bookkeeper couldn't hide what he’d done and an auditor couldn't hide what he felt, in The Omaha Sunday Bee.

Dammrow had been cashier of the batik since 1906. Bank Is Closed. Following the examination of the bank last May by state bank exam iners the doors were closed. Accord ing to the examiners the metnods used in covering tlie alleged embez zlements were crude.

Meeting Packed, Charge By Associated Press. Chicago, July 6.—The federated farmer-labor party and the farmer-la bor party of the United States, with individual platforms and candidates, are announced as entries in the 1924 political field. The majority of the farmer-labor party today refused to affiliate with the federated organization, a group born in the farmer-labor convention, and decided on a platform and ticket of its own. A minority went over to the federated party, splitting the farmer-labor organization. The national executive committee of the federated party accepted five of the bolting farmer-laborltes as mem bers of its executive committee and proceeded to the selection of an ex ecutive council and an intensive pro gram of activity. Headquarters of the federated party probably will be here. C. E. Ruthenburg of Cleveland, convicted in Michigan of communistic tendencies and a leader In the new party, announced. Day of Oratory. The farmer-labor convention was ad journed after a day of oratory over a motion of M. Toscan Bennett, member of the party national executive com mittee, which would have placed five of its members on the federated group s executive committee with res ervations. After its defeat. Bennett announced he would abide by the de cision, but tlie minority faction filed out. Nonparticipation by the farmer-la bor party with tile federated organ ization Bennett characterized as “threatening the suicide of the farm er-labor party" was not shared by the solid Illinois unit, which is credited by its speaker with having estab lished a clean break with the ex treme radicals; is now unshackled of a possible red menace and Is on its feet stronger than ever in the pursuit of independent political satisfaction. Sounds Keynote. John Fitzpatrick, president of the Chicago Federation of Labor, who de clined the chairmanship of today's meeting in favor of Robert M. Buck, Chicago labor leader and editor, sound ed the keynote of nonparticipation on the part of the farmer-labor party. "We want, political betterment for the worker* and fanners, but we want control through the ballot in our own ranks and not from a dictatorship in Russia,'’ Fitzpatrick asserted, "t'n Ion men and women will not subscribe to the tinted platform of the federated party—IJs leadership of Ruthenburg,' W iliiam 7.. Foster and Joseph Manley being sufficient to describe its com munistic principles." The break with the radical element in the workers party, instrumental in forming the federated party’s pin* term, was a step that ultimately had to he taken, said Buck, and now that it had been taken "the farmer labor party stands unfettered, more en couraged than any tim.e since 1920 and is ready to start its mission.” Shjs Convention racket! "The workers party packed the convention, steam-rollered the con ference and stole t ur name," liuck declared, "but we are the stronger for it. Where one of a group mingles with another who bolds a gun to your body, there never can he cooper afton toward po 'ties' unity by lawful means. We a'o rid of hidden guns." The repudiation of th? federated patty came shortly after the reading of a communication from President Brophy of District No. !, Cnlted Mine Workers of America, wnlch said his organization could not deal with the federated party “because It has a philosophy contrary to the principles we are fighting for." Chester C. Platt, secretary of the Wisconsin Non partisan league, again said that "his radical state of Wisconsin could not accept the federated platform."

Boost Given Free Milk and Ice Fund Two Out-State Organizations in List of Donors on Thursday. Some persons declare our country is over organized. They Insist that originality and individual thought la crushed by organizaUon. But the editor of the Free Milk and lee Fund is inclined to believe that organizations which exist permanent ly justify their existence by the good they do. Looking back over the years the fund has been conducted lie discovers that hundreds of organ izations have contributed to the fund Among Thursday contributions are j checks from the Anderson Grove Fnion Aid society of Fort Crook.. Neb., and the S. S. S. auxiliary of Lexington. Neb. These two organiza tions are to be commended for their ability to choose a cause where their gifts will go farthest in doing the gixrd they desire. Repetition lends emphasis, and day after day it is necessary to repeat that the Free Milk and Ice fund is an in stitution that not only alleviates ter rible suffering, but often saves lives. The heat that beats down, on city pavements with such great intensity during the long summer months places the lives of the tiny babies in the poorer homes at a premium. One contribution may save a haby's life: it surely will save a baby's health. And it will mean more to some dis tracted mother tlian many times the amount of the contribution can mean to most of us.

Paris, July 6.—For the first unco since the delivery of England's ques tionnaire the Ruhr and reparation problem there appeared today in French political» c ircles a distinct feeling of optimism over outcome of the conversations between the two countries. The French interpret the very lengthiness of the conversations as inaugurating an eventful Franco British understanding rather than the pursuance of the separate lines of settlement with Germany. Spirit of Cordiality. In addition to the Ixrndon conversa tions, Lord Crew% the British am Imssadnr, called on Premier Poincare this afternoon for a long conversation on the general reparations situation and it is understood their interview was conducted in a spirit of cordial ity. In government circles it is indi cated that white France repeatedly has announced that its thesis remains intact, there are definite signs of a mere conciliatory attitude and a sin cere desire to find a basis acceptable to England for a co-operative appli cation of this thesis.
