MAKES AMERICA A FIGURE Paris. Tho leader of the power ful radical socialist opposition Edouard Ilerriott, brought Franco America relations into the trench election campaign Sunday when he declared that Fiance should tell this to tho United States: "If our af fairs do not interest you, then let us alone." (Tho radical socialists are next to the straight socialists in strength n the chamber of deputies with 109 members in their single bloc, and might bo described better for the American voter if they were called merely "liberal." France elects a new chamber next Sunday.) The former premier was making an attack on Premium Tardieu in an address at Avignon, when he brought the United States into the campaign oratory. M. Herriott protested gainst the Hoover moratorium and asserted former Premier Laval's visit to Washington was unnecessary. FOB SALE Part of the details of a dispatch declaring that Governor Bryan had joined with the executives of Kan sas and Missouri in consenting to a division headquarters organization of the National Guard were corrected Tuesday by Adjutant General Paul of the Nebraska regiment. Bryan's consent lias not yet been forthcoming, General Paul said, altho word was sent to the Missouri and Kansas military leaders that there probably would be no objection by the governor to such an organiza tion. The National Guard regiments of three states, Nebraska and her two southern neighbors, comprise th Thirty-fifth division, no? the Twen ty-fifth, as reported in Monday's dis patch. All other National Guard di visions in the country have their di vision headquarters and staffs which assumo actual significance only in case they are called upon for duty by the president. The divisional headquarters does not function as such during state camps or in ser- ice of the states individually. It is likely that if the three states Inally agree on a plan, Gen. W. A. Raupp of Missouri will be the first division commander .with the rank of mijor general. He will reach the retirement age of sixty-four in No vember of this year and is scheduled to be succeeded as commander by Gen. Charles I. Martin of Kansas The latter now is in command of the 69th Infantry brigade with the rank of brigadier general. When General Martin is moved up, lie will bo succeeded as brigadier general by Col. Amos Thomas of Omaha, now in charge of the Ne braska section of the Sixty-ninth brigade. General Martin is scheduled to retire in shortly over two years, whereupon command of the division will be vested in the Nebraska com mander. The governors of Kansas and Mis souri met Monday with Gen. George Leach, chief of the Militia bureau, at Richmond, Va., during the gover nors conference and agreed to the foregoing setup. Delay in general staff organization for the Thirty fifth division has been due largely to failure of Kansas and Missouri to agree as to whose chief should take precedent as commander. .9SMr Real V$?sfe7 St& Farm Relief!
