 NEW YORK. Nov. 15.-Events abroad during the past few days have moved so rapidly, so bewilderingly, and are still unfolding themselves in such amazing fashion that their full significance has not yet been appar- ent in the lightning succession of news dispatches. .
 An analysis and compilation of these events reveals that Europe to- day is approaching what may be a turning point in her history.
 Premier Baldwin's grave state ments in the House of Commons sug- gests one of the tremendous develop ments possible. England, he declares, will be unable to continue co-opera- tion If her continental allies do not change their attitude. In other words, England, in disgust. will withdraw from the snarling entente cordiale." This suggests a separate agreement with Germany.
 Two immediate developments have forced England to the position Bald win adoI but behind them is an Anglo -FrenC.i struggle for European authority.
 Preparations Failure.
 First came the failure of the rep arations inquiry project through French objections; second, the pres ent dispute over the French desire to extradite the ex-crown prince. The cables report that the council of am- bassadors have mot agreed" on the ex-crown prince. England opposes his extradition.
 Ramsay Macdonald, leader of the opposition, declares, in parliament that n1ilitarism dominates Europe.
 News developments of the past week have strikingly demonstrated the claim.
 France, at the tomb of the Un- known Soldier, rededicates herself to "the safety of the frontiers" Ger many refuses interallied control of her military organizations, while simultaneously producing strong forces to crush the Hitler -Luden- dorff revolt. The British imperial conference, concluding Its duties, recommends an air force able to cope with that of the nearest power which is France.
 Behind the furry of war-tallS lies the sole fact that England and France do not agree on what action should be taken toward Germany.
 The French assert that they have been created by a self-bankrupt Ger many The French people want re- parations to ease tax burdens. They also want definite assurance that Germany cannot "come back for 8 war of revenge" A.
 This attitude has resulted Yin

WAL LTON PARDONS. NOW UNDER PROBE.
Sought To Prove Oklahoma Executive Paid Political
 Debts Through CIemency

OKLAHOMA tCITY. Okla. Nov. 15. (By Associated Press.)-The impeach- ment trial of Gov. J. c. Walton passed slowly through the opening today of the prosecution's effort to substan- tiate the charge that the executive abused his pardon and parole powers
 Frequently interrupted by argu- ment of counsel during which wit nesses were on the stand at long in- tervals without being questioned, and by deluge of questions from mem bers of the court, little progress was made in presenting the purported account of Governor Walton's clemency record.
 Prosecution announced 1t would used his pardon and parole authority to enable his friends to obtain large attorney fees, thereby paying politi- cal debts, but said 1t could introduce no testimony that the executive had received bribes for acts of clemency.
 Much of the day was devoted to details of an alleged agreement be- tween Guy Sigler, state representa- tive from Garter county, and Pearl Hicks of Beckham, Okla, who was granted a pardon after being con victed of bogus check charge. T. M. Lowery, court clerk of Beckham county. identified a certified copy of contract by which Sigler was to receive $2,500, the appeal bond which Hicks had made, in return for ob- 4taining pardon within sixty days. The witness also testified that he paid the money on June 2S, last, to Siglers agent, H. H. Diskins.
 Aldrich Blake, former executive counsellor, testified that Governor Walton had information that Sigler would get s1,000 for obtaining the pardon for Hicks.
 The prosecution also Introduced testimony bearing on the case of" H. T. Wheeler, who was convicted of possessing liquor in Custer county and who presented pardon to the upon him. Fred Larue. ceunty at torney of Custer, testified a number of letters had been written to the governor urging clemency for Wheeler who is manager of tele- phone company at Custer City.
 Late in the day. the prosecution took up a pardon granted to Jess Lit trell, alleged notorious outlaw, which was issued just before Governor Walton was suspended following the filing of impeachment charges against him. The pardon was annulled by Acting Governor M. E. Trapp, and Littrell Is in the penitentiary serving life sentence for murder.
 Since the pardon was issued, two additional murder charges have been filed against I,ittrell. which had been charge was brought. The prosecution contended that the governor knew the two other charges had not been filed and that in issuing a pardon he had attempted to absolve Littrell of re- sponsibilityf in three cases.

NEW SCHOOL PLAN

Preparatory to the institution of the six-three- three plan for the pub lie school system, when the new high school Is completed, the schools are operating on a seven and one-hali and ur-grade plan in the elemen- tary and high school during this term. An additional e-half grade was put on at the beginning of the term for the first grade. which made the junior first grade become the senior grade, and subsequently an advance through the grammar school grades.
 There is now at the Roberts school the junior eighth grade, which was formerly the senior seventh grade, the course remaining the same with the exception of the grade advancing half step. The senior eighth grade, formerly the junior eighth grade, is the lowest grade at the high school. The change has been made preparatory to the institution of the regular junior high school work, which will embrace three grades, pr. L. L. Vann states and the senior high school will also have three grades. The curriculum of the school will remain the same. except with the reorganization of the junior high school course, which will go into effect when the new high school building has been completed. The completion of the building depends on the sale of $50, 900 worth of school bonds voted some time ago, the sale of which has been held up on &C., count of some technicality. In the event that the purchasers of the bonds, voted some time ago. the sale will likely be readvertised and resold, so that the work on the school build ings may be continued. Work is pro- gressing rapidly on the new high school, and it is thought it may be ready for the second term of school.

PERSONALS
Prayin' Colonels
 Put In Hard Day For AuburnG

DANvILLE, Ky, Nov. 15.-tSpe- cial.)-The Centre college .Colonels put in a busy afternoon here today, in preparation for the trip to Bir- mlngham to play the Auburn Plains men, whom they meet Saturday after noon. The entire eleven is in good condition and ready to Step out on the Birmingham field to gain re- venge over the Plainsmen for the de- feat handed to them last season. Coach Moran expressed himself as well satisfied with the workFof the team as a whole and several times praised the men for the way in which they were going through their prac- tice sessions.
 With the same men in good condi- ton and ready to start the contest, the Colonels will have the unusual record of having started the same eleven men in every game this fall, with the exception of the University of Kentucky battle, when Summers started but soon gave away to Hope Hudgins, one of the speediest men in the camp of the Colonels this year.
 The men who will start the game Saturday are: Thomasson and Lem- on, ends; Skidmore and Chinn LAChleSs fNupdIlu anu 1y uCiit BudIuS Kubale, center; Covington, quarter
 back; Hudgins and Spurlock, half | backs, and Gordy, fullback,
 l All week the Colonels have been working towards improved team work and interference and Moran has expressed his approval of the way the men are performing in their new realization of the important part that conservative play takes in the for nation of & successful team. On end runs the Colonels have gone excep- tionally well, whether the ground was firm or a vertiable sea of mud and as was the case when the Kentucky men widowed through an hour of mud fight to a defeat.
 To stop either Hudgins or Coving- ton on an end run Is the next thing to impossible with the team working Isas it is now and some one is due for surprise. Spurlock and his toe are ready to repel the invasion of the foe and should they hold the Colonels for downs at any time and is planning to give Alabama fans an example of the way a punter works.
 His punts all through the season have been life saver to the Praying Colonels at times, for he is always good for from fifty to sixty yards and in the last game, that against tha Sewanee Tiger, he averaged 55 yards for the entire afternoons en- gagement.
 The Danville men will not be lone- some on their trip to the south. but will travel from Danville on with the University of Kentucky eleven, which is on it's trip to Atlanta, Ga, where they will meet the Golden Tornado Saturday afternoon.

LIGHTNING CHANGES ARE
 BRINGING EUROPE TO CHAOS

 The Baldwin government, defeated in these ends by the French attitude, turns toward a protective tariff as an immediate means of solving un- employment. Baldwin declares Eng land may withdraw from the entente if all else fails.
 Baldwin has won 8 vote of con- fidence, from a house, however that must face new elections.
 Germany, alternately defiant and pleading, strong and weak, actually holds the center of the stage.
 The Stresemann government Is ap- parently weary of being the scape- goat for home abuse and foreign pressure. Furthermore, monarchial Bavaria is clamoring to assume con trol.
