Reported Yugoslavian Mobilization
Considered Police Move.

Reports that Yugoslavia began mo-
bilizing troops along the frontier after
the Bulgarian coup d'etat are regarded
as an indication the YugoSlav govern
ment fears Bulgaria will expell rad
icals who belong to the anti -Yugoslav
Macedonian faction.
Incursions by them into Yugoslavia
would create a serious problem for the
Belgrade authorities. Thus 1t is be-
lieved that If the reports Of troop
concentrations are true the concentra-
tions may have been ordered to keep
out the undesirables.
Observers feel there is little reason
to expect Yugoslav Intervention in the
internal Bulgarian situation, either for
or against King Boris.
The coup was interpreted in Aus
trian circles as a movement directed
by friends of King Boris.
Supporters Of Chancellor Engelbert
Dollfuss were gleeful over the estab-
1ishment of a new dictatorship which
they interpreted as a further extension
of the ideas incorporated in their own
government.

LEAGUE SEEKS VIEWS
81 Countries Invited to Give Opinion
On Arms Embargo.

GENEVA. May 19 R.-Spurred by
President Roosevelt's initiative In ask
ing the American Senate to ratify the
Geneva arms convention, the League
of Nations today dispatched cables to
81 governments, asking If they are
ready to clamp on an arms embargo
on warning Paraguay and Bolivia.
The cables were sent by the Coun-
ellis Chaco Committee Immediately
after the Council unanimously had
adopted a resolution to take steps de-
signed to put an embargo into effect
at the earliest possible moment.
Gables were sent to all the countries
that we're members of the 1888 Coun-
Gil, which first discussed the embargo.
These are Great Britain, France,
Italy. Germany, Poland, Czechoslo-
vakia, Norway, Spain, China, Mexico,
Panama. Guatemala and Ireland.
In addition, queries went forth to
nations elected to the Council of 1884
and countries mentioned by other
states as nations whose cooperation
is necessary for an effective embargo
These are Denmark, Australia, Bel
GUM, Canada, the United States, Fin
land, Lithuania, Luxembourg. Holland,
Portugal, Sweden, Switzerland, Yugo-
slsvia and Uruguay.
A third group to which cables were
sent takes In countries bordering on
the warning nations. It consists of
Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Peru.
Their help is considered necessary to
prevent the transit of arms.

DIR. LUTHER GUARDED

Anti-Nazis.

BOSTON, May 1s.-Police accom-
panied DR.. Hans Luther, German
Ambassador, everywhere he went to-
dav on his official visit to the German
training cruiser Karlsruhe, but no
anti-Nad demonstration occurred
In view of disorders near the Boston
Navy Yard on May II, during which
81 persons were arrested, the police
took no chances and threw Q neaVy
guard about the German envoy from
the time he stepped from an airplane
at the airport. Motor cycles cleared
paths in the trafiic from airport to
hotel and behind were police patrol
cars bristling with policemen and de-
tectives. The same procedure was fol-
lowed during the Ambassadors visit
to the Navy Yard where the Karls-
ruhe, first German vessel Of war to
visit Boston In 26 years, was docked.
Rumors Of planned demonstrations
by anti-Nazi groups could not be con-
firmed and one raucous shout from an
onlooker near the Navy Yard proved
the only disturbing element In an
otherwise peaceful day.
The attempted demonstration two
days ago, in protest against the recep-
ton accorded the German cruiser, ap-
parently made little impression upon
officers Of the Karlsruhe who said to-
day that during their world cruise the
reception accorded them in America
was the most cordial they received
anywhere. ~

they established a school in competi-
ton with Duncan's. He said he sought
chiefly to have Duncan's name cleared
of charges made against him and on
which he was never given hearing,
although property damages were also
involved
Duncan went from London In the
80s to minister to tribe of Indians
in Northwest Canada who were so
savage, Matthews said, the nearby
trading post of the Hudson Bay Co.
had to fortify against them. To get
them away from the white mans
vices, he led 1000 of them to estab-
lish the squatter colony of Metla-
kahtla.
The island was ceded to Duncan
and his people by Congress in 1891,
Matthews said. Duncan was made
justice of the peace and the colony
began great progress as virtually
autonomous settlement.
Then, in 1915, Matthews said, the
grasping hand of minor bureaucrats
sought control of the island, and the
alleged vandalism followed. That 1t
actually occurred, he testified of his
own knowledge. So did James w.
Witten, Washington lawyer whom
Duncan had named trustee to ad-
minister his estate, all left to the
colonists. So did Sir Harry Welcome,
a British missionary.
They brought a stack Of docu-
mentary proof. Chairman Wheeler,
Democrat, of Montana suggested that
they draw up a plan for restitution,
but said there could be no legislation
at this session of Congress, should the
claims be found true.
