Germany Makes Easier
Movements of Tourists
HKltLIN'. (AP)-NVw Instruct
ions have been Issued by the min
istry of f inn nee to German cust
oms officers In frontier towns to
facilitate tourist and other inter
national travel as much as possible.
Not only Is there abandoned the
practice which obtained during
the first years after the war, by
which every traveler must leave
the railway coach with his bag
gage ut the frontier und submit
to a careful inspytioiu of his be
longings, but tin? officers have
been told merely to require the
occasional opening of a trunk by
way of making a test.
Transit passengerH who ure
merely crossing Germany are not
to be molested at. alt. Through
out the customs officials are to
be polite and accommodating.
The German section of the In
ternatioual Hotel Keepers' Feder
at ion has issued an appeal to Its
members to send In good photo
graphs of Gernwin points of in
terest, so that these may be used
for American advertisements. The
federation points out that other
countries of 1he continent.

urges Germany do likewise.

1'iro Equipment,
The last measure calls for $45,
000 for new fire fighting equip
ment and housing room. The
present organization, while effi
cient within Its limits, Is, accord
ing to a state-wide survey, less
equipped than any other depart
ment in a city of la Grande's
size lu Oregon.
It Is said that In case of two
serious fires the La Grande fire
department -would be unable to
take care of bit one because of
limited equipment. In most cities
one or two combination chemical
wagons and a large pumper are
provided. Here only one combin
ation wagon is provided.

they own property in the city or

lion.
The racial question led him to re
sign the secretaryship und devote
himself to organizing a great na
tural party, which he deemed
necessary at that critical period of
the republic's history. The Lib'ial
1'nlonist party was the result. In
I : 1 2 many of his followers were !
elected to congress una provincial
government offices, he being the
un-Kuc-'essful candidate for gover
nor of the province of Havana.
When the Li b e ra Is be en m e re -united
in lDWi, General Machado
labored especially for the success
of the vice presidential candidate,
Colone Mendieta; supported by
Orestes Kerrera and other uncon
ditional partisans of General Go

so far as the Liberals were concer n
ed, General Machado was invited
to rise up In urms against the gov
ernment, but the troops failed him
and he had to start the movement
with prominent civilians of Santa
Clara, among whom was Mend eg
Penate. The revolutionary move
ment was defeated; and General
Machado was Imprisoned at Camp
Columbia until summoned before a
court martial and released.
When General Gomez went to (he
United Stales shortly after m'O he
asked General Machado to protect
the Interests of the Liberal parly,
and Machado proved himself
worthy of this confidence. H' per
sonally directed all the activities
of tli; purty, and to him was due
the winning of five provincial gov
ernorships. He abandoned his busi

recent triumph as presidential can
