CHILD TORTURE
Barred IN TRIAL

DENVER Feb. Is G.N.S).
The bitterness of years of pent-up
hatred broke out in the trial at
Littleton, Colo, today of Donald
K. Smith, 81. for the killing of his
three-year-old son, Donald, jr.
Smith and his wife hurled
charges of unbelievably cruel tor
lures at one another as they told
widely differing versions of events
leading up to the child's death.
Smith, on trial for his life, is
charged with killing the child in
a fit of rage because the youngSter
could not distinguish between the
words breakfast" and supper"
Mrs. Smith described inhuman
tortureS which she declared her
husband habitually practiced on
Donnie"
She said he slapped the child
with a fly swatter, stuck him with
o hatpin, forced him to eat soap,
pricked him with a two-tined
meat fork, and pinched him with
pliers. On the day before the
child's death, she testified, her
husband beat him with the buckle
end of a belt until his head and
back were a mass of bruises.
Smith denied that he treated
the boy cruelty, and charged his
wife with beating the child over
the head with a stick Of stove
wood.

VIENNA, Feb. 15.-How long
can Dollfuss hold out against the
Nazis? If this really is decisive
for the peace Of Europe, the ques-
ton means:
'HOw long can peace be pre-
served?"
Austria is under martial law.
In front of the ministry in
Vienna a company of soldiers
stood at attention a few days be-
fore the present civil warfare
broke out. Their eyes stared
straight ahead under grim, steel
helmets. A pretty girl passed.
The eyes of the guard wavered
and a smile flickered down the
line of martial faces.
Pretty Girl Episode
The pretty girl was the only
spectator of the changing of the
guard before the Austrian minis
try of war.
Twice a day the guard is
changed in Berlin and twice a
day 1000 people gather to watch
the ceremony. Never in the his
tory of the German army has a
Prussian soldier on guard dared
to smile at a pretty girl.
On the Austrian side the SOL
diers smile. On the German side
they Scowl. Nevertheless Chan
cellor DollfuSs, who is today COM
mander of Austria, was once COM
mander OF a machine gun COM
pany in the war. 1t was in a
part Of the Tyrolean Alps near
Bozen. The monstrous rock for
nations he defended were immor-
talized by Dante.
In the Divine Comedy the
gates Of hell are an exact descrip-
ton of the valley Dollfuss fought
In. Dante had visited the valley
IN his youth.
Held the Rocks
It is on the west side of the
Zugna-Toria. In the midst Of its
blocks of rocks, big as houses, Doll
fuss fashioned a fortress.
The young lieutenant, smallest
man in the Austrian army, had
only a handful of men to defend
It. The enemy wanted it badly.
From the beginning of 1917 to Oc-
tober, for 10 months they launched
overwhelming forces against the
Dollfuss fort. They never took it.
The army named the rocks Doll
fuss Rocks"
Today, As out of so persons in
Vienna declare that Dollfuss cant
hold out" Most Of them say he
Is "bound to fall in the spring"
And of the so persons ques-
toned, nearly all were persons
sympathetic to Dollfuss. They
would prefer him to stay, but they
do net believe it possible.
Depends on His Nerve
They count his assets.
First, his nerve.
Second, his unlimited dictato-
rial power.

Backing DoIIfusS

PARIS, Feb. IS Q.N.S).-For-
nation of an international army,
directed by the League Of Ma
tions, to guarantee Austria's in
dependence will be discussed here
tomorrow by representatives Of
the French, British and Czecho-
slovakian governments, with Italy
being kept informed of the de-
velopments.
Capt. Anthony Eden, under
secretary for foreign affairs, will
act for Great Britain and For
eign Minister Edouard Benes for
CZechoslovakia. The discussions
will take place at the foreign
office.
Heimwehr Hard Pressed
The suggestion was made in
government circles today that it
probably would not be necessary
to send armed forces across the
Austrian frontier but that the
placing Of Italian, Czecho-Slova-
khan and Jugo-Slavian detach-
ments near the border and sub
ject to Chancellor Dollfuss' call
would have salutary effect upon
Nazi elements eager to convert
Austria into a German province.
It is feared here that the Aus
trian Heimwehr troops will be
exhausted if the war against the
Socialists is prolonged many days.
France will insist at tomorrow's
conference that any action taken
must be under the supervision Of
the league.
To Report to Hitler
Captain Eden, who ostensibly is
on a tour of European capitals in
the interest of disarmament, will
inform Chancellor Hitler of the
outcome If tomorroW's delibera-
