New York, July 2S-The end of the first half of 1894 finds business in a more favorable position than was generally expected month or two months ago, ctates the current issue of the Guaranty Trust com pany of New York survey. Some re- cession has occurred from the usual spring peak of activity; but the downward movement, thus lar at least, has been far from severe As far as actual levels of produc- tion and trade are concerned, deh- mite progress has been made since the beginning of the year. Com modity prices have also advanced somewhat, although the general movement has been characterlzed by firmness, rather than by any pronounced upward tendency.
 It is recognized, of course, the Survey continues, that the summer months normally bring a period or dullness, and that, in a situation like the present, with large num- bers of individuals unemployed and in distress, even temporary slump in business activity becomes a serious matter. It is likewise con, ceded that the unexpectedly good showing of the last few weeks IS somewhat deceptive, inasmuch as activity in some lines appears 70 hay been maintained Tn ahllclpa- tion of possible labor dlStufpa lGes in the near future.

CAR SKIDS, PAIR
 GET MINOR HURTS
Local Youths Overturn on Prospect ROad-Lucki=
 ly Escape Death

Two young men escaped with minor head injuries when their car skidded and overturned late this morning on the Waterbury Prospect road. Andrew Jaffiala, IS, of 10 Branch street, the driver, and Bernard Dalesandro 19, of S9 Locust street. a passenger, were the two who luckily escaped death in the mishap.
 Both suffered scalp decorations and minor cuts and bruises. They were taken to the Waterbury hos pital, where it was reported early this afternoon that neither was in any danger.
 The hospital reported that the two were riding in the car along the macadam surface of the Pros pect road, when the ear skidded as the driver applied his brakes, and then left the highway. They were admitted to the hospital shortly after l1:30.
 A broken right wrist was sui fered this morning by Leo Lamy of Watertown. The injury was sus- tained while the crank of his car kicked back, while he was turning it to start the motor.

 Bad feeling remained. Arolf Hitler's apparently sincere gesture of friendship to Austria, in appoint ing Franz Won Papen special min ister and in dismissing Theo Habicht as leader of the Austrian Nazi Legionnaires in Germany. failed.
 In Warsaw yesterday a hostile demonstration was dispersed by mounted police from in front Of the German legation. In other countries inspired newspaper edi- torials, openly hostile to Hitler, questioned his motive in appointing Won Papen.
 In Rome, typical of comment throughout Europe, the Gironale D'Italia, under close government control, suggested that Hitler ap- pointed Won Papen to make Vien- ma a branch office of the German government. Japans nomination of foreign minister to be simple plenipotentiary in what was then Manchuria was put forward as a precedent.
 At Vatican City Pope Plus coldly snubbed a request from the Ger man government that its labor front. comprising working men of all sorts. be given recognition. It was learned that the Pope was considering the issuance of state ment on German atrocities.

London, July 2S - (UP) - Troops mass on Austrian frontiers. Chiefs of Rumania and Czechoslovakian staffs in confer- ence. Italy will use guns, not notes, in any crisis. With such headlines, Europe today celebrated the goth anniversary of the begin ming of the World War. July 2S a handful of politicians called Austria handed an ultimatum to handful of politicians called Serbia, and sol diers died on the battlefields. But today it seemed as the smoke of civil war lifted from the plains and mountains of Austria, that a new war had been averted by the victory of the government forces against rebelling Nazis.
 Statesmen questioned by United Press correspondents agreed that but for a combination of circum- stances which frustrated the Aus trian Nazi revolt Europe might have been pushed to the edge If not into the Agyss of war. Most believed a crisis had been post poned, not solved. It was predict ed that the Austrian NaZis would prove difficult if not impossible to exterminate. The rapidity with which Premier Benito Mussolini of Italy sent two mechanized army corps to the Austrian frontier in- stead of resofting to diplomacy or

TRUCK DRIVERS | IN REBELLION
They Don't Like Dictator in Moving of Trucks
 in Minneapolis

Minneapolis, July 28.-(UP).- Striking truck drivers rebelled to- day against regulations of a mili- tary dictatorship under which dozens of trucks are being escorted through city streets under guard of soldiers.
 The drivers publicly warned truck owners that they would not permit a breakdown of their em- bargo on commercial traffic through the loophole of military roder permitting free movement of inter- state commerce.
 Speakers at a mass meeting of 5000 union members charged last night that National Guardsmen have issued an unnecessary number of permits.
 At the same time "The Or ganizcr," daily newspaper of the union, took the most militant tone since Gov. Floyd B. Olson placed Minneapolis and Henepin county under martial law.
 The two writers, James P. Can non and Max Schachtman, describ- ed as communists by National Guard officers and as "Trotskyites' by the strikers, were released last night with orders to leave the city. Adjt. Gen. Ellard Walsh answer ed the strike leaders with dec laration that only public necessi- ties' are being moved by truck. The public felt the effect of mar tial law principally through ban on parking in the business district during daylight hours and closing of amusement places at midnight. Newspapers accepted a mild form of press control as a disagreeable but only moderately important part of the martial law.

POPE MAY ISSUE WHITE BOOK ON
 PRESENT CRISIS
Is Mortified al Murder of D0llfuss and Refusal
 of Church Rites

Vatican City, July 2S-UP)- Pope Plus, mortified at the murder of Engelbcrt Dollfuss and blaming German Nazis, is considering issu- ing a white book on German "atro- cities," it was learned today.
 At the Vatican the Austrian Nazi revolt, the refusal of Doll fuss assassins to permit him the consolation of the Roman Catholic church's last rites, was regarded as bringing to climax a situation which long has been viewed with horror.
 It was understood that all hope of an early treaty between Ger many and the Vatican was ended.
 The Pope coldly and directly snubbed Germany yesterday in re- fuSinG government request that the labor front, composed of work ing men, be given photographs of Vatican relics for its October fes- tiVal.
 Cardinal Pacelli, papal secretary of state, said in reply to the re- quests;
 The Holy Father can not grant your requests for photographs from the Vatican museum, not alone on account of the non-Catholic atti- tude of the labor front but even more because of the anti-Catholic policy visible in the current years program"
 It was learned that the Vatican secretariat is busy preparing doc umcnts intended to disclose atro- cities against Germans, which would be the major theme of the white book.
 In addition the holy see is pre- pairing severe attack on the Aus trian Nazs for their refusal to per init Dollfuss to receive religious consolation while he lay dying.

New York, July 2S-UP)-Dis- aster provided the pressure this week which smashed stock jrices but lifted trading out of the mar row rut holding it for the past fortnight.
 It left Wall street with fine set of nerves, for the troublous prob- lems still exist. Sentiment, how ever, is improved, mainly the re- suit of an excellent snap-back in prices Friday.
 Before the traders during the week were these items:
 Austrian situation, which Will street over estimated greatly.
 The drought inthe midwest. af- fecting all manners of business, which impressed forcibly to the H. nancial district during the week.
 Industrial statements with not so much cheer, particularly General Motors Corporation which report ed a tremendous incerase in sales but showed a slight dip in earn ings thus indicating higher costs of operations.
 Friday was the only day the stock market saw rallyine power. .Jor the remainder of the week there was a steady reccssions eli maxed by Thursdays market in which losses up to 10 points were recorded and all averages shot to new lows extending back well into 1883 with the utility list flirting with it's 1883 low.
 This resulted in the Friday night averages showing:
 Industrial S7.S4 off 67S on the week despite Fridays 2.33 gain.
 Railroad, 4027 off 5.2S on the week despite Fridays 0.70 gain.
 Utility 19.5S off 2.25 on the week a new low since April, 1883.
 Individual stocks suffered de- cIines up to ? points.
 Trading increased to well over 10.0OO,0O0 shares for the week. Scores of margin accounts were sold out and the margin calls were the heaviest of the year.
 Some ofthe utilities kept right on losing even through the firm Friday session.

VIENNA CLAIMS
 IT HAS PROOF

Vienna July 2S-(UP)-Police reported today the discovery of documentary evidence linking the Nazi plotters of Carinthia to Ger man interests. Letters found at the home of the director of the State School of Engineering, and mailed from Germany, were said to have given instructions for the up- rising.
 With the letters, police said,fi were handbills ordering a obiliza- tion of the Carinthian Storm troops-an organization already under government ban-dated July 26 and printed instructions for a broadcast, to go out from a secret radio station, ordering the upris. ing to begin at noon on that day.
 Police regarded the letters as belated effort to take advantage of the disturbances caused by the putsch of July 25.

 Tracts of 20, 30 or 40 acres go with each house and from this land the rehabilitated farmers will make their new attempts at self-support. It should be no trick for the new settlers to make a liv- ign, farmers adjoining the colony say The adjacent farms produce a bale to a bale and a quarter of cotton an acre and so bushels of corn.
 The colony is part of the gov crnment's answer of what to do with it's bulsing relief rolls.
 The land was bought from the state at $2.o0 an acre. Conservative estimates are that with the inn provements it will be worh $60 to S5 an acre.
 Plans are for the farmers to- get the land on a long time amortiza tion at less than $50 an acre, in cluding improvements A minimum of 10 years will be given to buy the farms.
 
 istrator for whom the colony was named. said the government may not attempt to get full repayment of money spent in the colonization project.
 The money used for immediate relief. If it is used in helping fam lilies to become independent, the government may be content to re- cover only part of what was spent.
 First estimates were the EZRA would spend $1,5e0,000 on the col ony but it may cost less than $1,- 000.000.
 It will be November before the first families are placed on the new farms, Superintendent Cone Murphy estimated. By then some 200 or more houses will be com pleted, practically all of the 60 miles of roadbeds finished and the 100 miles of drainage dtches dug.

NEWSPAPERS OPINION
A BELT OF TREES

Springs of water'in a dry and thirsty land
were favorite figure of speech with the cloSe-to-
the-soil writer's of the Old Testament. And only
those who have lived in land of meager raln1alI'
such as the Western United States is proving th'S
wear to be, can know the fun vividness OF the
expression.
Next to spring or stream of water, probably
nothing can give so much comfort under such clr-
cun1stances as a tree And, of course the two
water and trees, trees and water-are closely a.
lied With their well-drilling devices men have
brought forth artificial springs all over what was
once called the Great American Desert, and with
dams and bitches they have turned its sparlng
streams to their truck patches. But when skies
are ike brass and the earth is parched with hot
winds then wells fail and streams disappear
Then it is that trees which habitually' are
thought of as following where water is, perform
their reverse function of bringing and conserving
water for the land that has given them root. They
spread their shade against the notwithstanding
ravs of the sun. Still more important if there are
many of them they break the force of the soaring
winds along the surface of the ground which other
wise not only add to the evaporation but also
scour away fertile and moisture-hoding topsoil
These are reasons why the program just an
culture, and F. A. Sicox chief forester for
planting windbreaks of trees each mile across
1OO-mile belt reaching from North Dakota to
Texas, gives promise of materially ten1pering the
climate of that area.
The restraining consideration about so enormous
project u.s. of course, the cOst-estimated at $15,-
900 900 for the preliminary work to be done this
year. and $75,OOO,OOO in all by the time the actual
planting is done from 1886 to 1914. Against this
however, may be set the great costs of drouth re-
lief If there must be ''made work. hardly any
other project in that could be of more lasting
benefit.
Moreover, if that tier of states is so important
to the nations food supply it has been led TO
believe at various times, notably during the war,
there is some national interest in helping with the
large-scale struggle which competent observers
now consider necessary in order to prevent erosion
from turning large sections of it into Great
American Desert-Christian Science Monitor.

GOVERNMENT IN BUSINESS

Government has been forced to go into business
because so many business men have been unable 10
cope with the unusual situation of recent years.
However the unlimited credit Of the government
was the only thing which made it possible for that
agency to meet the crisis in successful manner.
In spite of the fact that government has been
forced to enter business in order to prevent a
complete collapse, we do not believe that the
American people want, nor do they need the gov
eminent in business permanently. ".-
A speaker before large convention last week
declared that "no government that takes up the
supplying of human needs is performing the duties
for which it was created When it does this is be-
comes a part of business, whereas the function of
government should be to protect us while we carry
on our own business"
The government should be regarded UNI
pire in the great game of lime. Umpires are sup
posed to be fair to both sideh, and unless they
their removal is inevitable. But no umpire has
ever been able to "calP' good game by becoming
player on one side or the other. The government
is already in the banking business, the building
business, the farming business, the power business,
and perhaps more. While its presence in these
fields may be essential to recovery now, we can
never hope to get conditions real stable basis
until Uncle Sam again assumes the role of umpire
rather than ompetitor.-Stanly News and Press.
