were being hanged, that the rail- way to Linz had been cut or that any members of the cabinet had been arrested or wounded. It had been rumored that Major Emil Fey had ben shot.
 Advices from Feldkirchen indi- cated that fighting was still in progress in that region after the NaZis had been driven out of the city. Police said shooting was So- ing on in the nearby villages of Gnesau and Himmelberg. Field. k1rchen is the chief Nazi strong hold in Caranthia.
 Police said the casualties com prised six soldiers and two Nazis Killed and 25 soldiers and five Nazis wounded. They believed four others may have been, killed in the outskirts as troops chased the Nazis headlong from the city.
 Each of the six trucks in which the Nazis retreated carried about 30 men. An army company was Tn possession of the city at latest reports.
 Police confiscated Vienna news papers which commented on the appointment of Vice-Chancellor Franz Won Papen as new. minister to Vienna as a Hitler peace over- ture.
 The newspapers published the comment in good faith, thinking the situation in Austria quiet, as indicated by government com. muniques. Police, however. ap- parently feared such comment would add to the enthusiasm of the Nazis for fighting and at the same time cause socialists and commun- ists to revolt against friendliuess with Germany, thus hindering the restoration of order.
 Italy Troops Speed Up Copyright 1884 by United Press)
 Udine, Italy, July 27-UP)- The newly-mtoorized Italian army moved with swift precision into position along the Austrian from tier today-Premier Benito Musso- lini's warning that Austria must be kept independent.
 It was the swiftest movement of troops into fighting position in Italian history.
 The first mechaniZed division of 5000 men in tanks and armored
 
 and heavy artillery of types and shapes hitherto not seen in combat anywhere.
 Trucks and tractors with four, six or eight wheels; miniature tanks operated by one soldier; re- movable. bulky armored structures on replaceable chassis moved like huge beetles along the border roads from Montecroce and Tarvis.
 While the motorized divisions occupied the main road between Udine and Tarvis, other units, in- cluding the picturesque Bersaglieri flowing clusters of feathers in the helmets, were proceeding by mo- torcycle along the roads toward Montcroce.
 Piedmontese dancers, with war helmets, galloped along the high ways to strategic points, and were stationed at intervals along the Montecroce road.
 MusSolinfs sudden command was obeyed like clockwork. The only preparation for movement neces. sary was the loading of provisions, ratlons and ammunition on the army lorries.
 Every unit called into action and assigned to the Austrian border patrol was ready for service i'm. mediately. The divisions had, iu iact, conducted summer maneuvers Tn the border territory. and were familiar with their posts.
 Within so minutes of the time their first orders came from Rome by telephone, some of the detach- ments were on their way to the designated destinations.
 Hitler Must Keep on
 Philadelphia, July 27-UP) = Hitler must keep hands off Aus tria" or Europe will be precipi- tated into a war with Italy and France >pitted against Germany. George H. Earle, former U. $ minister to Austrial believes.
 T hope that Hitler will not at- fempt to force the great German people into position where it may clash with Austria. Any attempt to force the Nazi movement in Austria by Hitler would precipi- tate the most bloody war in the worlds history" Earle said.
 At present the Nazis are out numbered three-to-one in Austria and NaZi group would never as- cend to power there without ex- ternal aid, he added.
 Tt would be calamitous should Hitler attempt to destroy the in- tcgrity and independence of Aus tria for which Dollfusn laid down hi slife," he said.
 Italy and France, in my opinion would never tolerate the Nazi movment in Austria. 1t would he fatal for impoverished and torn Germany should its present Hitler leadership attempt to force 1t half armed and unprepared into war with it's neighboring nations.
 Austria today would be veritable abyss of destruc5ion for any unfriend1y nation which might violate its borders and attempt to
