Fire Destroys

Dwelling lit Alexandra

The dwelling house of Mr. George McLeilan of Alexandra was completely destroyed by fire Yes- terday. The blaze was discovered in a. wood house at the rear short- ly before noon and rapidly spread to the main dwelling adjoining.

Volunteer fim fighters quickly gathered but the flames, starting from the north side oi’ the house and fanned by a. light north east Wind. were soon enveloping the building from end to end. Only a small part of the fumiture was saved. Mrs. Mcbellan received burns to her arm when she was aiding neighbors in removing fur- niture.

An accurate estimate of the loss could not be obtained last night but it was believed to have been at least $2000. Les is said to have been part1 covered by insurance. Origin of e fire was unknown.

HITLERUPPIJSES HIGHER WAGES EUR WIIRKERS

F u e h r e r Addresses Huge Throng In Lustgarten Square.

(AP. by Guardian's Special Win)

335111-111. M11)’ 2~Adolf Hitler stood amid May Day throngs gag. urday to denounce clerical "inter- ference" and the Jews, and to tell the Third Reich's workers that the time for higher wages has not yet come to Germany. There was varying applause for these pro- nouncemcnts.

Fifty thousand Berlin workers massed before the Chancellor in the Lustgarten Square. Earlier, 180,000 boys and girls packed into the Olympic Stadium, heard the first of two apparent warnings to Catholicism.

His allusion to Jews brought up- roarious applause, but only moder- ate cheering followed his appeal to workers and employers to increase

production wit h o u t demanding higher wages or increased prices.

The Lustgarten throng cheered more heartily when Der Fuehrer declared labor service, without higher wages, "will force better class respect of the worker".

Repercussions oi.’ the controversy between Nazism and Catholicism which was brought into the open by Pope Pius’ pie-Easter elicycli- cal charging Nazi violation of the church-state concordat, were sound- ed by both of Der Fuehrer’s speeches.

Said Der Fuehrer to the work-

ers:

"If anybody tries, through en- cyclicals, sermons or other relig- ious measures to disturb our com- munity spirit, we will simply withdraw the clergymans licence from such".

In his speech to the workers, Hitler declared Jews controlled the destinies of Soviet Russia. He

cried:

"None of the Soviet leadership has arisen from the proletariat, they are ruled by another tribe. Is

{it not wonderful to live under a |system which

selects the best brains and places them in charge?"

Hitler, in explaining wage in- creases (were impossible, declared Germany was poor in row meter- ials and could not produce every- thing it needed.

‘We must concentrate all our genius on wresting from this Ger- many of ours what the country needs to live". he said.

At Olympic Stadium, Hitler told the boys and girls that “those who think they can bring disunion into our youth are mistaken".

l-Iis words again were interpret- ed as a reference to Nazi differen- ces with the Catholic church over education of German youths.

As President Eamon de Valera has publicly described the attitude of the government as one of "dc- taehment and protest" it is unlikely the Free State will be officially represented at the ceremony by anyone except the high commis- sioner in London, John W.

Production Peak For llogs And‘ Bacon Recorded In 1936

(C.P. by Guardian's Special Wire)

OITAWA. May 2--A new pro- duction peak for hogs and bacon was recorded in Canada in 193C. Not only was there an immense increase in volume, said the agri- culture departments annual re- view made public Saturday but quality reached an unprecedented standard.

About 3,797,000 hogs were moved through yards direct to plants and direct on export, a sharp increase from 2,957,000 in i935. Evidence of improved quality, about 500.000 head were sold on adressed weight or carcass grading basis. This fig- ure mounted from 115,000 in 1935 and 3,600 in 1934.

Bacon exports to the United Kingdom lumped to 154,760,000 pounds from 124,327,000 the prev- ious year setting another new rec- ord but still well below the 280.- 000.000 pound quota of the United Kingdom agreement. The report said the 1936 export showed the best type. pack and quality in the history of the Canadian hog in- dustry.

Exports of hogs to the United States were 89,527. almost flve times as great as 14,994, in 1935.

Historic Building Yielded By Insur- gents A f t e r Pro- longed Siege.

-BY IGNACIA BARRADO (Copyright 1937 by The Ilavas News Agency) ANDUJAR, Spain, May 2—(CP- Havas)-A stirring "chapter in the Spanish civil war was ended to- day. The fall of the mountain top sanctuary of the Virgin De La Ca- beza was announced Saturday by Spanish government forces that had besieged its Insurgent gun-l. son since the start of the war last

summer.

Capt. Cortes, leader of the be- sieged group, his two lieutenants Ruano and Ruecia, and about 250 civil guards with many hundreds of women and children finally yielded the historic building.

Guns, revolvers, three machine- guns, hand grenades and cartridg- es were found by- govemmgnl; troops.

(In a radio broadcast from Sev- 1119. Insurgent General Quiepo de Llano declared there had been about 1,200 women and children and 172 civil guards in. the sanc- tuary. “It is undeniable that the Reds acted there as they have act- ed elsewhere and shot a. large number of the defenders and their 1811111195". Q1118?!) de Llano said.)

The monastery. located 1o miles north of this government army headquarters, was the last remain- ing Insurgent stronghold in nor- thern Jaen Province.

The defiant garrison was forced to surrender when government. planes fought off the Insurgent aircraft attempting to fly over the monastery with vitally needed food and ammunition supplies.

- cut ofi‘, government infantry de- tachments launched a decisive at- tack along the single mountain road linking the monastery with outside world.

The sanctuary, regarded as “im- pregnable", is an enormous struc- ture 300 yards long. Originally a convent. it had become the object of pilgrimage and the site where Andalusian country folk celebrated their festivals.
