BAIL CLERKS TO SHOOT TO KILL Washington, D. C. A command to "shoot to kill" was sent out by the rostoftice doparimpnt to its army of 22.500 railway mail clerk to protect from bandits, even at the cost of their own lives, the millions of dollars worih of treasure handled daily In the t'nlted States mails. The commuud, which applies to the thousands of oilier postul employes, aho constitutes a warning to the un derworld that the postal service means war and nryone found attempt ing to rob the mails may expect a cold lead reception and no mercy. In Irsuini? tiie command It also was indicated tint, if this means of pro tection should fail, the I'nited States marines ascii miht be called to f. ird the mails as tuey did late in lr-21 when banditry was prevalent. This drastic move was determined nron by Postmaster-General New at a council of ar with his lieutenants as a result of the. ree;ni holdup near Chi cago, In which bandits stole fl35.wo In currency. Postmaster-General New has consid ered calling the marines, but the "sol diers" of his own forces the postal employes, who have been fully arm edwill be able to cope, be believes, with the present epidemic of banditry.

Spain Saturday resigned I from the League of Nations. I The official communique reads: i "The secretary general of the League of Nations this morning re ceived through the Spanish consul at Geneva a note from the Spanish government,' giving formal notice, ac cording to Article I of the League Covenant. that Spain will withdraw fi-om Ihe league on the expiration ot , two years from date of receipt of the note by the secretary general. The document has been circulated to all members of the league." Germany was revived Into the League of Nations, Friday, amid scenes of European reconciliation which In their fire of enthusiasm has been unexampled since the armistice. i Germany and France, through Foreign Minister Stresemnnn and ISrland, committed themselves to per- J petual peace and solemnly enr- d the honor of their nations hence... ill never to draw the sword but to settle disputes by arbitration or compromUo. I Two things stood out dramatically. The first was Dr. Stresemann's pic ture of rresent day Germany as grip ped1 only by lofty ideals, determined to dedicate her energies henceforth to internal ional co-operation based on a h'i;h intellectual and moral plane. This spirit, he said, had entered Into I the very conscience of the German people. The second feature was the remark able oration of M. Brland, whose dnclnradon that Gormanyand Franc; have had enough ghn-y In the past and nc.d no further demonstration of i heroism, and whoso proclamation that the roar of guns had now been silenc ed, evoked tumultuous applause.
