LONDON, April 6.-Great Britain
will support an Italian proposal to
speed revision of the military clauses
restricting the size of the Austrian,
Bulgarian and Hungarian armies, it
was said on reliable authority to-
day.
1t was understood that Great
Britain and Italy feel that a gesture
Of friendship toward the three ma

their faithfulness in observing the
treaties and an example to Germany
of the fruits of treaty fulfillment.
Foreign ministers of Britain, Italy
and France, at their meeting at
Stresa next week, will consider
doubling the size of Austria's army
This discussion will be continued at
the meeting of the League of Ma
tons council called for April Is to
consider Germany's violation Of the
Versailles Treaty.
Reliable reports said that Premier
Benito Mussolini would advance
four points at the Stresa confer
ence. The first will be the ad-
visibility OF revising the Austrian
Bulgarian and Hungarion treaties.
The second will be to urge a
united front for fulfillment of the
French British agreement on which
ornaments negotiations are based
Third is the necessity of discussing
means of safeguarding Austria's in
dependence. Fourth is the formula
ton of a united policy against
Germany's violation of the YER

The captured bad man, heavily

Awarded Pulitzer Prize
Three Times; Bids His
Friends Farewell.
By United Press

By United Press
NEW YORK, April edwin Ar
lington Robinson, three times VIM
ner of the Pulitzer prize and one
of the worlds most distinguished
poets, died early today of a chronic
ailment. He had been i'll several
weeks.
Mr.. Robinson had been in coma
since Wednesday when he babe
farewell to two old friends, Carly
Ranck, a dramatic critic, and
George Burnham, a railroad man.
Mr.. Robinson's whole bearing re-
fiected the traditional conservatism
of his New England background. His
entire personality belied the bril-
lance of his writing. He was al
most unknown to the masses.
But he was intensely human. In
his latter years he. was partly bald,
tall, stoop-shouldered, mustached.
He wore steel-rimmed glasses and
always carried a stick. He liked a
racy story, swore when the occasion
moved him, and took his whisky
straight.
He was awarded the annual Pulit-
ger poetry prize in 1922, 1925 and
1928. His best known works were
"Tristram," The Man VINO Died
Twice. The Glory of the Night
ingales," THE Town Down the
River" Matthias at the Door,"
"Cavender's House." 'Launcelot, .
The Man Against the Sky" and
Merlin"
His work is represented in prac-
tically all anthologies and has found
its way into high school and college
text books.
His meter embraced almost every
form of poetic expression. Some
times his verse was a simple form
sometimes sonnet. More often it
would be full length portrait, such
as he cid in Captain Craig"
Mr. Robinson never married. He
disliked personal publicity; refused
time and again to lecture or read
his verses publicly.

Judge Dismisses Suit, but
French Girls Lawyer
Hints Settlement.
En- United Press

By United Press
NEW YORK, April 6.-Colette
Fracois, beautiful French music
student, and her mama sail for
France today, extravagant in their
praise of Arthur Loew, millionaire
theater magnate, and the American
courts.
Colette claims Loew is the father
of her 4-year-old child. She asked
the Supreme Court to give her
100000 Justice Aaron j. Levy
dismissed the suit. Reports of an
out-of court settlement, amounting
to about $4,000 received some sub
sanitation in hints of Colette's
counsel, although denied by Loew's
attorney, Nathan Burkan.
Said Bernard H. Sander, attor-
ney for Colette:
Miss Francois and her mother
sail today on the Champlain. They
are well pleased and have the kind
lest feelings toward, Mr.. Loew."
The trial ended suddenly after
Mr.. Burkan had cross examined the
big-eyed, well poised French girl
four hours without materially
changing her story. She said Mr..
Loew had entertained her in his
Paris hotel suite where she had
gone under the misrepresentation of
obtaining a movie contract. Loew
gave her brandy, she said, and when
her mind began functioning clear
ly, again, she was in his bed.
In dismissing the suit, Justice
Levy said:
This is a sad case. Pathetic, in
fact. These people-Colette and her
mother-testified truthfully, but
they had no cause for action. They
sued for seduction and breach of
promise, but the testimony didn't
bear this out, technically.
They declared that Mr.. Loew Sc
duced her on a promise of marriage,
but they also charged he was mar
ried. Under our American law. a
married man can't make a binding
promise of marriage. The Fran
co.'s evidence seems rather to sug-
gest grounds for an assault charge
I say this in view of the fact that
they swore the girl was piled with
brandy and was under the age of
IT."
