GENEVA, Switzerland, May 2. -_ <A.P.)—Germony through her dele- gate to the World Disarmament Conference today disavowed the opinion that Germany wishes to avail herself of disarmament to pro- ceed with re-armament at the high- est possible level."

RUEEN or THE ATLANTIS ilniiuix

The Bluenose, Fleetest of North Atlantic Fishing Schooners, Completes F i r s t’ Stage 0f Journey.

H-ALWAX, lvilay 3—(C.P.)—Ad- miring crowds lined the doceiin ter- minals this evening for a. glimpse of the racing Blucnose as the fleet- cs‘. of North Atlantic fishing schooners lay berthed in Halifax Harbor on the first stop of her trip to the Chicago World Fair.

Blucnose sailed into harcor late

today. Trim lines giitening in a new coat of paint, the Queen of the North Atlantic swept up har- bor just five hours after leaving ‘Lunenburg on the first leg of her voyage to the Great Lakes. Captain Angus Walters, who was at the wheel of Bluenoae when she carried off the International Fish- erman's Trophy off Halifax in 1931 thought the aging racer could have made the 56 mile journey in even better time had she not been for- ced to shove through a dense fog all the way from her home port to Chebucto Head. But he was well satisfied with the 1i mile an hour speed the big salt banker showed today. “She's faster than she ever was," he de- clared enthusiastically as he stepp- ed sshore. At one stage of her trip, he said, Bluenoee logged 13 miles in a run of an hour and four min- utes with e following wind. And she'll be oven faster, he pointed oiit,.in racing trim.

WILLING T0 RACE

Captain Angus repeated his wil- llngness for is race on the Lakes with Gertrude L. Thebaud while the Lunenb ‘=- is at the Fair. ‘We're willing to rsce her ony- wlierc," he asserted. (in: Walt- era declared s formal accmuioo

Half a dozen of the rats were shot by a Tipperary farmer who observed t-hem on a Shannon em- bankmeiit and mistook them for otter.

The Department of Agriculture have ordered on investigation and experts from the Department of Industry and Commerce fear stringent measures will have to be adopted to prevent the pests from damaging the hydro-electric scheme embankments.

The Government has promised to introduce a. Bill in the Dail which will make the rats illegal inhabit- ants of the Free State, believing the present system of licensed im- portafion is inadequate. In the meantime the Department of Agriculture is to seek advice from the Canadian Department of Agri- culture as to the best means of ex- termlnnt/lng the animal.

Nazis Troops Occupy Tra de U n i0 n Ho u s e s

BERLIN. May 2-(A.P.)—A stunning blow to Soviflilot-OYBEBIZ- ed labor was dealt today by the surprise occupation by Nazi storm troopers of all premises throughout Germany of the Free Trade Un- lone, whose aggregate membership is about 4,000,000.

Socalist Union leaders were ar- rested and the brownshirted Nazi foilowers of Chancellor Adolf Hit- ler announced that henceforth the Trade Unions will be notional. instead of international, in charac- ter.

Assurances were given the Union that savings bank deposits and pensions will not be touched. The Nazi seizures apparently encount- cred resistance nowhere browse of the suddenness iritli which they were carried out.

The arrival tonight of Guido Jung, spokesman for Italy, brought up again the Geneva Disarmament conference deadlock and the meth- od of solution.

There is every indication that Mir. Roosevelt is looking favorably upon the programme for disarma- ment recently advanced at Geneva by Priirio Minister MacDonald of Great Britain.

This plan has as oiic provision a proposal for consultation among the nations signatory to the Kcllog Briana Peace Pact whenever peace is threatened.
