BARS ARMER mm se F El Editorials on the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS pTtANCK and Germany sign an agreement pledging themselves to "amicable discussion of diffi culties instead of resorting-to arm ed force."

He was backed by yesterday's vote which showed over 90 per cent of Memel's eligible voters ninety per cent of the region's 150,000 Inhabitants are of Herman origin had participated in the el ection.
