HITLER PUTS
FEAR Of WAR
INTO EUROPE
Statesmen In Turmoil Over
Disarmament, Debts And
Threat Of Armed Germany.
ENGLISH PAPERS ALARMED
Possibility Of Reoccupation Of
Rhineland Provinces Does Not
Meet With Favor.

Debts. disarmament. Hitlerism
and war whirled through the minds
of European statesmen today.
Norman H. Davis, American am
bassador at large to Europe, was
In Paris. trying to persuade Joseph
Paul-Boncour, foreign minister, to
make a temperate reply to any pos
sible blood and iron in the speech
Adolph Hitler, Nazi chancellor, is
to make on foreign policy Wednes-
day before the German reichstag.
Hope that Hitler might make
conciliatory speech was dimmed by
the weekend speech of Franz Won
Papen. vice chancellor, whose tone
was indicated by the statement that
Germany could not be "robbed"
of her vital rights.
The French chamber of deputies
meets Tuesday, and the League of
Nations disarmament commission
Thursday.
AS regards debts, there seemed
little prospect that the government
would make any proposal to the
chamber for payment of either the
defaulted December payment ON
the American debt or the prospec-
tive June Is installment.
The eager grasp at the home of
economic peace slipped a bit more
today with announcement that
BritiSh-SwediSh and British-Nor-
wegian trade agreements had been
signed.
AS for Hitlerism, it has been
made clear that the Nazi leader
will meet determined opposition in
any bellicose statements he may
make.
Popular opinion in Britain was
shown when Hitler's special envoy,
Dr.. Alfred Rosenberg was hissed as
he left for Berlin.
Great interest was shown abroad
too, in the boycott of Germany
agreed to in the United States by
the American League for the de-
fense of Jewish rights, IN protest
against Hitler s anti-semitism.
LONDON, May Is. U.P)-Eng-
land already visualizing possibility

of the Rhineland as a result of
Germany's apparent determination
to re-arm despite the Versailles
treaty, was carried to a new pitch
by Chancellor Franz Won Papen IS
weekend speech at Munster.
"War or peace?" asked the
banner line of the Daily Express,
which declared that Europe was
in the throes of nationalism and
exhorted its readers to demand "no
more war; 1t underlined this slo-
gan: mot one British soldier shall
cross the channel to fight in
European war;
Won Papen S speech shocked the
world, the News-Chronicle said.
"Is Hitler secretly arming Ger
many?" asked the Daily Herald.
1t declared the French intelligence
service had reported Germany to
be manufacturing heavy guns of a
type prohibited by the Versailles
treaty.
The Daily Telegraph saw in Won
Papen IS speech an attack on Great
Britain. The Times thought it op-
ened a critical week for Europe.

announced that Nippon troops

Chinese territory within the Great
Wall until all outstanding Chinese
Japanese disputes are settled.
The legation said the army would

Officials frankly feared japanese

VETERAN FILM
ACTOR DEAD
Ernest Terrence Noted For
Famous Bill Williams Role
In Covered Wagon

NEW YORK. May Is. U.PJ-Er-
nest Terrence, veteran character ac-
tor, died at Lenox Hill hospital to-
day from complications following
an abdominal operation.
He became i'll several weeks ago
as he was about to board a ship
for an European vacation, and was
removed to the hospital on a
stretcher.
Terrence, who was 54 entered a
coma last night and his family was
called to the bedside. He regained
consciousness just before he died,
recognizing his wife, the former
Ilse Reamer; his son, Ernest, Jr.;
his two brothers, and a niece.
His body was removed to the
mortuary of the Church of the
Heavenly Rest, where it will remain
pending completion of funeral ar
rangements.
Terrence was considered one of
Hollywood's most versatile actors.
He could enact the role of the most
malevolent of villains with the
same finesse as that of a kindly
patriarch.
Tall, loose jointed, big eyed, he
was one of the most popular mem
bers of the film colony.
Oddly, Terrence began his career
as a concert pianist in Edinburgh,
Scotland, where he was born. He
was educated at private and public
schools and at the Edinburgh aca-
DENY of music, the Conservatorium
at Stuttgart, Germany, and the
Royal Academy of Music in Lon
don.
Won Royal Medal
Despite his skill at the piano, his
| friends urged him to study voice,
and eventually he did. He started
singing professionally in 1900 and
was awarded the Royal Academy of
Music medal for operate work. The
next year he became leading BARI
tone of the Savoy Opera company
of London.
Lured by offers of lucrative con-
tracts, Terrence went into musical
comedy. He came to the United
States and became interested in
motion pictures. Because of his
stature-he was six feet iCur-and
shaggy, over-hanging eyebrows,
producers and directors classified
him as a dirty dog heavy" This
confinement to one type of role
made him unhappy until Jesse L
Lasky heard of his ambitions to be
a character actor. Among his film
successes were 1.-The Covered Wa
gon," "Ruggles of Red Gap,
North of &c." peter Pan" "The
King of Kings" and "Mantrap."
Recently he completed work in Il
Cover the Waterfront.

old son, Ernest Terrence, Jr.
