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.

Germany Is Warmly Welcomed
by Assembly as a Mem
ber Friday.
! Geneva. 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.
