FOLLOWING the example set by
1 Hitler, Austria has decided to dis
regard the limitations on its military
strength set by the treaty of st. Ger
main and to increase its armed forces
Immediately. The official %commnnique
issued by Chancellor Kurt Sc~huschnigs
did not say how big the army would
be or whether CONSUMPTION would be
restored. The annual spring parade Of
the army at the Ringstrasse in Vienna
was revived, and the troops appeared
In fine new uniforms.
1t Is believed Hungary and Bulgaria
soon will ask permission to increase
their armies and re-introduce con
scription.

THROUGH the efforts of Donald
4 Richberg, chairman of the NIRB,
an agreement was reached by the
bituminous coal operators and the
United Mine Workers, whereby the
prevailing coal code Is extended to
June Is and a threatened strike of
about half a million miners averted.
The present wages and hours of work
are continued. President Lewis OF the
miners insisted the union had not
yielded to the operators; but the fact
remained that If 1t had not consented
to the agreement Mr.. Richberg could
and would have extended the code by
executive order.

DOl-AND appears to have decided to
play a lone hand In the European
embroglio, though she remains friend
ly to Germany. 1t Is reported that
Captain Eden's visit TO Warsaw was
as disappointing as was that Of Sir
John Simon to Berlin. The Polish
government Is determined to sign no
pact that would commit the nation
TO fight for Russia against Germany or
for Germany against Russia and
France, nor will it permit either Ger
a or Russian troops to be trans
ported across Poland. The Polish
statesmen say they will sign a series
of bilateral pacts, and will go as far
as any other nation In parallel disar
mament. They assert that they have
no alliance with Germany, though their
mutual troubles have been settled for
the next ten years, and that the ALI
ance with France still holds good.

tiers, the majority In the house refused
to accept the restrictions injected In
the work relief bill and sent 1t back
to conference to have these removed.
The restrictions Objectionable to the

according to the strict regime of

Saturday.
All of the actors the film unit
daily wore the uniforms of naval
officers or midshipmen and were on
the Naval Academy grounds from
8 or 8 o'clock in the morning until
late afternoon Academy authOri-
ties ruled that as the actors were
in uniforms and could not be dis
tinguished from men in service, 1t
would be necessary for the players
to follow the Navy Academy rules.
Sir Guy Standing, an officer in
the British Navy during the World
War was at home in the Naval
Academy but Richard Cromwell,
Tom Brown and other young Holly
wood actors found the strict routine
of the Navy quite irksome. They did
not object to saluting officers but
the rules prohibiting smoking and
sitting on the grass were difficult
restrictions for young men accus-
toned to the easy freedom of Holly
