ISLANDER FLOATS
 FOR FIRST TIME IN
 5 YEARS, TUESDAY

For the first time since she sank to the bottom of Stephens Passage 35 years ago, the Islander floated on top of the water at high tide yesterday and is now 500 feet further up on the beach.
 Work was recently completed on the construction of a timber bulk head over the opening left when the bow of the old hulk broke off and dropped to the sea bottom, and the water pumped out allowing it to float once more. The wreck is now high and dry far up on the beach.
 A number of those working on the Islander salvage came into town this morning on the gasboat PeeWee, Capt. Hayes, which makes daily trips to Juneau.
 Plans for the future of the wreckage are rather indefinite al- qua leul psIounI ST I! uSnou4 plan to have her lowed to Seattle have been given up.

AUSTRIAN CRISIS
DECLARED ACUTE
Italy Expected to Cross Bor-
der-Powers May Reject
Won Papen.
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

The European situation entered into
an acute phase today, according to re-
ports received in Washington.
The salient point appears to be the
fact the Austrian government is in
capable Of crushing the rebellion
which broke out after Dollfuss' assas-
sination, and Italian Intervention ap-
pears more probable than az any
time since the outbreak
The second dangerous point is the
move of the principal European pow
ers to block the acceptance of Vice
Chancellor Won Papen as German
Minister to Vienna. Diplomats are
divided in their opinion as TO what
the effect of this slur on the German
government will be-
Dispatches from Vienna indicate
clearly that. in spite of the shift in
the Austrian cabinet. whereby the in
experienced Prince Won Starhemberg
has yielded the chancellorship to the
slightly more experienced DR.. Kurt
Sehuschnigg. there is practically no
chance of the Austrian gpvernmenS
being able to put down the Nazi re-
bellion. The government forces are
incapable of disbanding the Nazi or
ganizations. Consequently. Italian in
tervention appears as more than
probability.
Yugoslavs May Act.
While Great Britain and France
agree that Italy should be permitted
to send all the troops which may be
required to cope with the Austrian
situation-such an action will involve
Italy in a guerilla warfare which will
keep her busy for many months if
not years-the attitude of the Yugo-
slav government is still lacking clarity.
For the time being the Belgrade
government has not made any belli-
cose move, but troops are being kept
in readiness to be rushed to the Aus
trian frontier at moments notice
The excuse for such preparation is
that there is fighting between the
Austrian government troops and the
NaziS rebels very close to the Yugo-
slav border; hence the necessity of
having an adequate force to intern
fugitiveS from Austria who may enter
Yugoslavia. The pretext of this con-
centration is plausible, but diplomats
here are shaking their heads and be-
lieve only half of the Belgrade story
The strained relations between Yugo-
Slavia and Italy are too well known,
not to cause SkepticiSm of the Bel
grade explanations
1t is feared that should the Italian
troops enter Austria a similar move
will be made by the YugoSlavs and
the consequences OF the two armies
meeting on neutral territory lend
themselves to the most gloomy specula-
tionS.
The rejection of Won Papen ss Min
lister to Vienna is fraught with still
more serious dangers.
There is no doubt such a rejection
