CRISIS IN EUROPE
WORRIES CAPITAL
Official Circles Here Take
Serious View of New
Situation.
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

Official and diplomatic quarters In
Washington take a most serious view
of the new situation caused by the
incursion of Yugoslav irregular troops
into Hungarian territory.
Although these irregulars are re-
ported to have been withdrawn. the
situation continues tense.
There is an unsatisfactory internal
situation in Yugoslavia, which compels
the government of that country to
manifest itself by an action abroad
Italy to Support Hungary.
The Italian government has made
no secret of the fact that it intends
to stand by Hungary and prevent
that country from being made the
scapegoat for King AleXander's as
SaSSlnatlOn.
The relations between Italy and
Yugoslavia have been bad for num-
Der of years and the determined stand
of Mussolini is likely to arouse the
Yugoslavs more than anything else
1t is also pointed out in diplomatic
quarters that the Belgrade govern
ment is difficult to handle because it
acts more emotionally than logically
The bellicose attitude of the Yugo-
slav government is attributed also to
the fact that it has been made clear
to them that the League Of Nations
will not ride rough shod over Hungary
when the Yugoslav request for salts
faction for AleXander's murder is sub
mitted to the League today.
Moderation Counselled.
France and Great Britain are re-
ported to be exercising all their influ-
ence in Belgrade in counselllng the
government to be moderate and not
precipitate a conflict, the consequences
OF which nobody can foresee. 1t is
pointed out to Yugoslavia that while
Italy is adequately prepared to rush to
Hungary's assistance, France is hardly
in position to help Yugoslavia. The
Italian people would march like one
man at Mussolini's bidding. while the
French government would have untold
trouble to induce its people to fight for
Yugoslavia.
But while Great Britain can talk
plainly to Yugoslavia. the position oi
the French government is more diff
cult. There is a serious danger. since
last Summer, that. should the French
threaten to abandon their YugoslaI
allies. the latter might turn to Ger
many for support. Negotiations to-
ward that end have been going or
for the last five months uninterrupt-
edlv. and, only a few weeks ago, the
Yugoslav government has made il
clear to Paris that if the French pre-
fer to lean toward Italy, Yugoslavis
will not be a loser from such a new
political orientation.
These are the elements which rem
der the situation dangerous. France
is not in a position to take a deter
mined attitude; Yugoslavia is seeking
an incident in order to allow its peo'
pie to let off steam abroad. regardless
of consequences: Italy. without seek
ing it. is determined to come to a
showdown with Yugoslavia, either di.
rectly or indirectly, by standing BY
Hungary,
Negotiations are reported to be ir
course to bring a concerted action OF
all powers to bear on Yugoslavia, ir
order to prevent the outbreak of q
new European war.

Suspicious were aroused recently

Passed Through Here
In 1878; Recognizes
Camp Spot on River

"This town is certainly getting
along" according to j. T. Iverson of
Tacoma, Washington, who is visiting
the Stuart Anderson family in the
city. He first went through Red
wood Falls in the spring of 1878 in a
covered wagon.
Mr.. Iverson looked over the town
carefully-even walked through
many of its sections-but could not
recognize any part of it from his
first visit here except the river.
His first visit was made on his way
from Wisconsin to Tracy and other
towns in that vicinity. He was with
his father and brother-in-law and in
a wagon pulled by horses. He said
the jaunt from Wisconsin took more
than two weeks.
Redwood Falls then was inhabited
by only few people and had only a
small number of stores. His party
was tired and decided to camp here.
He believes the spot where they
camped is about one block north of
the present river bridge.

Franklin May Get
Swimming Pool

The American Legion at Franklin
is considering the promotion of a
public swimming pool and if enough
interest is manifested by Franklin
citizens, particularly the young peo-
pie, the Legion post will undertake
the project.
1t is planned to construct the pool
at the springfield creek approximate
ly two blocks east of the Franklin
hill on the north side of the valley
road. The plan is to excavate the
little lowland north of the road, be-
sides damming the creek. This would
afford circular pool about 100 feet
in diameter and any depth desired.
Being springfield the pool would be
clean and fresh constantly.
Frank Blair, owner of the land on
which the pool would be constructed
has already granted the Legion post
permission to go ahead with the
work.

COMFREY PEOPLE
ROBBED BY YEGGS

Mrs. Mary Uhlhorn and her broth
er, George Kruger, had terrible ex-
perience one evening recently when
three strangers entered the formers
farm home five miles east of Com
frey and threatened to shoot them if
they did not do as commanded. Mr..
Kruger was bound hand and foot
and almost strangled in an attempt
to force him to tell where he kept his
money.
The Uhlhorn home is located only
few rods from a well graveled
road. When Mrs Uhlhorn and her
brother noticed two cars stopping on
the highway, they paid no attention
until three men came into the yard
and up to the house. Stating that
they had experienced car trouble, the
strangers asked for permission to use
the telephone to call Comfrey gar
age. This was readily granted.
Hardly had Mrs. Uhlhorn turned
around, when one of the unwelcome
visitors drew a revolver, with which
he covered his victims and threaten
ed to kill them if they did not obey
orders.
Turning their attention to Mr..
Kruger, the bandits escorted him in
to the dining room, where they laid
him on the floor and securely tied his
hands and feet. Tearing piece from
some quilting nearby, they tied it
around his neck almost strangling
him. One of the men stood guard,
while his companions went to Mr..
Krueger's room and ransacked his
trunk, where they secured between
5000 and $500.
Before leaving the robbers cut
telephone wires leading from the
house to be sure that authorities
could not be notified Immediately.
The robbery left Mr.. Kruger prac-
tically penniless.
