Britain Decides on Stand
For Paris Peace Farley

ONDON, Aug. 10 Q.N.SO.
Coincident with cabled reports
from Adds Ababa that Ethiopia
will have more than half mil
lion armed men ready to take
the field against Italy, the Brit
ish government today crystallized
the stand it will take next week
in Paris at the F'ranco-British-
italian parley on the threatened
war.
The British attitude was finally
cemented at a conference be-
tween Prime Minister Stanley
Baldwin, Foreign Minister Sir
Samuel Hoare, and Capt. An
thony, minister for League of
Nations Affairs, who will head
the British delegation to Paris
next Wednesday and Thursday.
The government would not ad"
NIT a specific plan had been de"
cided upon as a final drive for
peace, and made it clear that
Italy first ought to present her
case.
Also, despite previous assertions
from Rome that italy would not
be satisfied merely with economic
concessions in East Africa, Britain
feels that if Italy would limit her
demands to this field they would
be received with a large measure
of satisfaction in Ethiopia.
AS Ethiopia's war plans were re-
vealed here, the government dis
closed it had discussed with Adds
Ababa the question Of increasing
the British legation guard at the
Ethiopian capital. If an increase
is decided upon, it probably will
be made with detachment from
the Sudan.

FACEV|CT|MS

"A lineup" Of ten colored men,
suspected of a series Of Strong
arm" robberies in the Second and
Third precincts recently, will be
held tonight at police head
quarters, when victims of 80 or
more of the robberies will look
over the suspects.
Frank S. w. Burke, who has is
sued calls several times for the
victims of robberies to appear at
lineup, only to be met with indif-
ference, has made a special ap-
peal to the persons who have been
victims of this type of robbery to
be present tonight.
Most of the robberies of which
the men are suspected were COM
mitted when one man would sneak
up behind the victim as he walked
down the street, crook his arm
around the victims neck from be-
hind, and hold him while an &C.
complice went through his
pockets.

LUTHER FLAYS
AMERICANS
''MEDDL|NG'

NEW YORK, Aug. 10.-An angry
attack on American interests in
Germany's internal affairs was de.
livered last night by DR.. Hans
Luther, German Ambassador to
Washington, returning unexpect-
edly from Berlin.
Guarded by 50 city detectives
and 100 patrolmen, DR.. Luther
landed from the Hamburg-Amer-
ican liner New York. Half an hour
later he was on the train for
Washington.
Cites Lynchings
His round face reddening with
excitement, the envoy denied
morning dispatches that Germany
is facing food shortage.
He shouted:
Germany wants . friendly
understanding with your cOun-
try, but on the only basis which
is pOssible-we will not inter-
fere with your internal life, and
we do not think you should in
terfere with ours.
"The German people are not
furnished day after day with re-
ports Of Negro lynchings in
America. No German believes
lynchings give q true picture Of
American life. But q different
impression would be created if
this phase was Over-emphasized.
BID TO AMERICANS
II was surprised at reading
ut about 10000 people at mass
meeting here last night cheer
ing the incident on the Bremen,
when our flag was torn down in
direct violation of international
law. That would be impossible
in Germany.
"If disturbances have occurred
In Germany they have been
committed by irresponsible ele.
ments. We invite Americans to
come to Germany and see the
excellent order for themselves"
The Ambassador denied reports
Of underground opposition to Hit
ler, of interference with the free
dom of Germans to worship as
they please and of discrimination
against Jewish athletes on the
German Olympic team.

Passage of the Walsh labor bill

full today as a powerful Senate
bipartisan group moved to substi-
tute the Black 30-hour week bill
for the measure.

early Monday on the substitute
motion, introduced by Senator

Louisiana and Vandenberg (R.)
of Michigan launched a general
attack on the bill when it was
called up for action several days
ago by Senator Walsh (D) Of
Massachusetts,, sponsor Of the
measure.
They charged the bill was an at.
tempt to slip another NRA"
through the Senate, and that it
was more unconstitutional than
the old NRA bill"
The bill would establish MIRA
wage and hour provisions and set
up child labor standards on all
Government contracts.
It was amended by Senator
johnson (R.) of California, to ex-
en1pt Government agencies in
competition with private enter
prise from the bill.
Another amendment by Senator
McNary (RO of oregon, exempted
persons receiving loans from the
Farm Credit Administration from

However, 1t is noticeable that Exchange place does not get its proportion of the travel during the day as compared with figures from other traffic june tions or arteries of travel in the city. While Exchange place Is the center point of travel in the city, 1t carries only 26,944 vehicles through it's streets pointing east, west, north and south, while more than a third of local trafiic travel is shown at the corner of Bank and Grand streets and more than fifth of the additional traffic passes through the intersection at Canal and Grand streets. this de- spite the fact that trolley system still runs over the narrow thor oughfare. Lower Grand street re- mains one of the few main thor oughfares in Waterbury through which trolleys operate. Yet all classes of vehicles, passenger, more private and commercial, drive through the street but vehicular traffic has not suffered, thereby making lower Grand street one of the popular arteries of travel, not by vehicles but by pedestrians.
 At the corner of Freight and Meadow streets 1,120 vehicles pass hourly during the busy hours and there are only 10,110 vehicles pass ed through during the day as a whole. At North Square 6,25S cars pass daily and this represents an average of 69S vehicles per hour.
