of $18.10.
The welfare budget, including
$28,000 for care of indigent chil
dren, an Increase of $10,000 orer

priations of $3000 for blind as

and' county poor farm, was ap
proved with no changes and Jit
' tie question by t h e committee
when County. Commissioner Roy
S. Melson explained that state
laws-increasing eligibility for re
lie? naT forced the county to
make larger appropriations.
He indicated that with the pres
ent budget, 20t new applicants
-would be granted old age relief
monthly, and that fiTe new appli
cations for aid to dependent chil
dren would be acted upon faror-
ably. . tJ
jyhe committee. granted a sal
ary .Increase of $300 yearly to
County Engineer N. C. Hubbs, and
anodamonai iiso ror xne ww;
ef his assistant before reaching
a final decision to cut the $10,000
from the $70,000 county road,
bridges' and ferries budget.
. The $C0.0OO allowance provid
ed for the latter left $55.S15 for
' general construction, improre
raent and maintenance ot county
thoroughfares , and bridges. . in
cluding administrate, equipment
and labor expenses. The final fig
ure, is some $5500 ahead of the
$50,000 appropriated last year.
In addition to the county road
estimate, the committee approred
expenditure of $50,000 road con
struction and maintenance not In
the previous category. Estimated
revenue from the roads and high
way fund, accruing from state
taxes, forest sales and rental,
yield taxes and other sources was
pat at $171,200.
Prior to considering tne scnooi
and welfare estimates, the com
mittee ' dealt conclusively with
the county treasurer's office, bud
getary estimate for which was' ap
prored at $4000, $225 more than
last , year, after $120 additional
clerk's salary had been denied.
The group made no changes In
the miscellaneous budget except
to make final approval of $500
budgeted for predatory animal
control, dependent on receipt of
a report on uses to which pre
rious appropriations hare been
put.
Shortly before its adjournment
the committee, with apparent sat
isfaction at haying settled a dif
ficult problem, ' placed the county
clerk's budget at $10,832 if ter
having taken off a request of
$180 for additional salary for a
deputy. The estimate as allowed
calls for an increase of some $350

over un year a upuQiiorN, iou
will provide a new steel chanter
and a new telephone system for
the office.
At the morning session, the
committee approved the county
constable's budget at $3845. $500
less than the original request of
$1345 which called for employ
ment of a new clerical assistant
ant increased travel allotments.
Members of the committee Indi
cated that it would be wise to de
termine whether improper divi
sion of work between the con
stable's office and that of the
sheriff was at the root of Increased

Gull Sails at Her
Om Risk
NEW YORK, Not. M-Short-waro
listeners of the Columbia
Broadcasting system reported to
night that an official German
hews bulletin from station DXB.
Berlin, said "The American ship
Black Gull sailed from New Tors
today at her own risk."
The tG e r m a n announcemen
said, they reported, that "her
eargo consisted of contraband al
legedly destined for Belgium and
Holland."
They said the enigmatic state
ment was made in German bat
not repeated In the English lan
guage broadcast Immediately fol
lowing from DXB.
Officials of the Black Diamond
line aald its Black Gull sailed last
Saturday shortly before the new
neutrality law went 'Into effect.
Victor J. Sudman. president of
Black Diamond, 'said the ship
carried a general cargo Including
"almost everything this govern
ment permits to be shipped to
Europe." The 5029-ton ship was
destined for Antwerp and Rotter
dam, he said.
Sudman aald he did not know
the extent of "contraband" in the
ship's cargo because "we ship
pers can't keep abreast of what
warring governments call contra
band." The ahlp carried no passengers,
he added. Although he pointed
out that it sailed before the neu
trality bill became law, he agreed
with the German report that she
was trareling "at her own risk.
Leopold and Dutch
Queen Have Talk
(Continued from psge 1)
The Netherlands were being
brought together tor the first
time since the war started.
Although both countries are on
guard against Invasion from the
east. In the direction of Germany,
and both have suffered severely
from the blockade on the west,
maintained by Britain and France,
Netherlands official quarters only
a few . days ago aald there was
no prospect of a military alliance
with Belgium.
The foreign policies of the two
nations hare dlrerged sharply in
recent years, Belgium accepting
guarantees from both Germany
and Britain and The Netherlands
believing It a better neutrality
policy to accept no guarantees at
all.
King Leopold arrived at about
8 p. m: Efforts were made to
keep the rlsit a secret, but the
placing of a heavy cordon of sol
diers around the Noordeinde pal
ace caused the news to leak-out.
It was learned that Leopold
originally planned to leare last
night after a few hours rlsit but
postponed his departure until lat
er today, presumably because of
the Importance of the discussions.

On the contrary foreign circles
agreed Germany could not get a
great deal of satisfaction from
either the manifesto or Molotoffs
speech. , ,
Rap at Germany
Seen in Statement
Some saw an Indirect rap at
Germany In the manifesto's state
ment that "Britain, France and
Germany are striving for world
hegemony."
Molotoffs only references to
the relch were of recently-concluded
pacts. In reviewing what he
said was the soriets' greater pro
duction this year he made no men
tion ot supplies which the soriets
may be sending or expect to send
to the relch..
"We know the best foreign pol
icy for the soviet union is our
tested policy of peace which al
ready has secured for ns no mean
successes." ho asserted.
"We must continue underlat-
lngly to , pursue this home and
foreign policy which we know to
be the will of the peoples of the
soviet union."
Says Home Policy
la Constant Concern
The homo policy he described
as "our constant concern during
all these years for the security of
oar country and the strength of
onr defenses, which "entailed no
little sacrifice but In return we
hare secured peace for the peoples
of the soviet union."
The "capitalist world Is com
ing to realise erermore that the
sorlet union is not what they
would Ilka to see it," he aald.
"They would like to see onr
country weak and yielding to pres
sure from the outside but actu
ally it has turned out the other
way, for the soviet union was and
Is . . nnshakeable.
Passing an Inferential dig at
Japan with reference to the
"imperialist" war In China, Molo-
toff said:
"We may rather expect that
the present war in Europe and
Asia will be. turned Into a new
world slaughter of nations for the
sake of preserving and consoli
dating world supremacy of the
Imperialist powers concerned.
"Capitalism is senile and de
caying and Is already looking
backward on its past and Is ap
proaching Its end," said the premier-foreign
commissar. "The
new world brought Into being by
tne October revolution Is grow
ing stronger from day to day and
lifting its head higher and high
er."
Referring to economic crises
and unemployment, he asked:
"Is any further proof needed
to show that Internal affairs of
the capitalist countries are In a
rery bad way indeed and that dis
content is naturally gathering
among their exploited and
oppressed masses and that overr
uling is making for new and in
erltable outbreaks ot popular an
ger against the power of capital?"
"in one form or another this
is the case in erery capitalist
eountry. The more wo learn of
internal conditions and Internal
contradictions in capitalist coun
tries the clearer it becomes to ns
why bourgeois countries hare
lately been increasingly seeking
a war oat of the situation in for
eign --adventures, in seizure and
spoliation of foreign lands and
colonies, and in new redlrlalons
