Food Situation \ Important Issue in German Crisis Maintenance of Resistance to French Depends on Gov* eminent’s Ability to Keep People Fed. < Bjr Annotated Proa*. Berlin, Aug. 10.—Passive resistance in the Ruhr and the Rhineland, which Chancellor Cuno Wednesday informed the relchstag would be continued until France decided to create an atmosphere conducive to negotiations on an equality basis, is approaching the stage where its further maintenance along peaceful lines will depend wholly on the gov ernment's ability to keep the resist ing-population well fed. The falling mark, curtailment of local food supplies, due to natural shortage and the Interrupted rail facilities, and also the punitive meas ures which are being imposed by the French, are rapidly contributing to the growing irritation and restless ness among the miners, steel work ers and civil service employes. The government's apprehension In this direction is liberally shared by Hugo Stlnnes, the Thyssens and other Ruhr industrialists, who are alarmed over the prospects of an era of law lessness stimulated by the food short age, quite as much as they on ac count of the aggressive procedure of the French authorities. , That the French authorities are determined to break down all resis ance along the entire front and will not be over-scrupulous In the selection of the methods to accomplish this end, la viewed here as an Impending certainty and as also forecasting a season of sabotage whose ramifica tions cannot be foreseen. The French and Belgian authoritl ties now are freely indulging In the practice of seizing the reichbank'a funds which are destined to meet the miners' payrolls. But thla is only one of the many factors which is ag gravating the situation, as it leaves whole communities without currency to meet the demands of ordinary family shopping.

Rail Earnings During June Are $87,742,000 Washington, Aug. 10. — Railway earnings during June amounted to 287,742,000, as estimated today by the American Railway association and represented an annual return rate of 6.47 per cent on the theoretical value of property Investment in transpor tation. The figures were the com posite returned by 194 railroad sys tems which operate 235,400 miles of main line out of the 260,000-mlle to tal located in the United States. During June last year, the net op erating income of the same rofeda was 276,271,000, June of this year demonstrating a much better profit showing. However, earnings during last June were smaller than they were In May, during which month the railway asaoclation estimated that the annual return rate attained was 6.33 per cent. During June, the proilt of the rail roads was not evenly distributed over the country. Roads In the east ern district had 252,372,000 out of the month's total net, this representing a return rate of 6.39 per cent on the value of railroad property In that district. In the western district the roads had a net of 226,519,000, repre senting an annual rate of 4.20 per cent. In the south the railroads had a net Income of 28,861,000 In June, which wee at an annual return of 6.78 per cent. According to the Interstate com merce commission standard railroads are entitled to earn 6.75 per cent on the estimated value of their capital Investment. Rap* Senator Brookhart. Special Dispatch to The Omaha Itoe. Shenandoah, la., Aug. 10 —Henry J. Allen, former governor of Kansas, took several raps at Senator Brook hart of Iowa for his remark that Russia was ths best governed coun try in the world, except the United States. Governor Allen, who has Just returned from a 20, 000 mile Jaunt abroad, spoke at a Chautauqua hare. Dark Russia, he said, Is Improved, but the conditions ars still almost un bearable. The conditions ars Improv ing as they ere getting away from socialism and sovietism. There Is no freedom, rto courts of Justice. One million six hundred thousand persons hsva been executed without Just trial. The government has returned to capitalism to the extent that It has given hack to the peasants their land, but It takas a great portion of the crops In taxes. It may sell some wheat, hut It will be at the expense of hunger among the Russian people. Mother and Babe Scalded at Bath Mrs. Jerome D. Kuhl, 175 Glen street. Council Bluffs, and her • months-old baby are recovering from severe scalds and burns received Tuesday. Mrs. Kuhl had the baby in her arms and was carrying a pan of boil ing water Into the bathroom, pre paratory to giving the baby a bath. She slipped on the floor, and the scalding water drenched both of them. Mrs. Kuhl's burns were principally on the feet and legs, while one side of the baby's body was scalded. Their condition was reported to be serious, but both were improving to day and the burns will not prove fatal, physicians said. Use of Gases for Diseases Is Ursred Chlorine as a Preventive of Influenza Proves a Success. New York, Aug. 10.—Tests on chlorine as a preventative of influ enza have been made with marked success at the University of Arkan sas. Fayetteville, according to a re port to the American Chemical so ciety by Dr. Harrison Hale. The av erage rate of influenza cases was cut one-tenth by the use of chlorine, It was stated. "Nearly 300 faculty members, stu dents and others took approximately 900 treatments, which consisted in breathing for. five minutes daily air containing a small amount of chlor ine,” Dr. Hale reported. "The number of cases of influenza In the college dormitories during the period—February 22 to March 2, 1923 —was at the rate of 133 per thousand. Among all those taking the treatment some of whom came only once, the rate was 44 per thousand. “This figure Included those who stated that they were sick at the time treatment was taken, as well as those who took only one or two treat ments and developed Influenza (some days later. Omitting such casek, the rate among those taking dhe treat ment was 13 per thousand, or about one-tenth of the average rate. "These results agreed with those obtained in previous tests. They are also in accord with reports made by Gudeman and Baskerville. All this suggests the possibilities of the use, not only of chlorine, but also of other gases against influenza and sim ilar diseases. WavM not exhaustive research upon this subject carried on under rigid medical and bacteriolog ical control be decidedly worth while? “The minimum amount of chlorine needed for protection, how long this protection lasts and the best method of treatment are all unknown. Tests have usually been made with air con taining small amounts of chlorine, but Gudeman founh vaseline cortain ing 1 per cent chloride of lime very efficient when 'taken through the nose.' ” Pistol Shots at Dancing Party Two Men Wounded at Social Gathering at St. Bene* diet' Church. Dancers at a social In St. Bene dict Catholic church Thursday night craved moonlight waltzing. But, no provision had been made for a moon. W. V. Gordon, 1408 North Twenty third street, who was In charge ot the festivities, insisted that the lights must burn brightly unless the moon light could be obtained. A search failed to disclose a moon satisfactory to the censor and the dancers. Intent on having a waltz without the brightly glowing lights, pulled the switch. Gordon then turned on the lights. The dance was resumed hut the lights were soon extinguished by the dancers. Gordon demanded to know who thua overrode his authority. His request for information was answered by hoots of derision, Bang! Bang! Light waa furnished by the flash as two revolver shots rang out. When the lights were turned on it waa found that Fred Wilson, 2219 North Twenty-eighth street, was shot In the right thigh and M. Hudron. 3517 Ohio street, was shot In the left thigh. The two men were attended by police surgeons and Gordon was held by police for Investigation. Han to Store Wheat “Unsound” Chicago. Aug. 10—Tha plan ad vanced by the American Farm Bureau federation to store 200,000,000 bushele of wheat on the farms In the hope of raleing prices, waa declared to be unsound, Impractical and of no permanent benefit to the farmers by John J. Stream, president of the Chi cago board of trade. Farmers In dlstresa are not those with storage facilities, nor are they financially able to construct such con tainer!, Mr. Stream said.

As he swung around In a great cir cle he came right above the bong bine. At first he saw nothing to in terest him. Then well up the bong bane he saw a little yellowish-brown form running along the middle. Tied tail's sharp eyes hrlghtened.
