Rome and Vienna would deny it
vigorously, but the best informed are
convinced Mussolini had an under
hand In the Austrian conscription act.
They think he okeyed the Vienna move
in order to give the Ethiopian sane

about.
BY ordering CONSUMPTION, Austria
violated the treaty of st. Germain.
1t represents just as serious viola
tion as Hitler in legal sense.
What European nations ,0ill haze

No. 1.-The Government has urged
shorter hours on industry, etc., but
night guards at Federal prisons gen.
orally work up to II hours a day,
and in some places days out of 10.
Also, in one Federal prison they work
2 days week.
No. 2-Despite child labor out
breaks, ETC., Congress still employs
page boys under 16 years of age.
Each session of Congress produces
word which is overworked by speak
ers in both Houses. Last year it was
psychology" No speaker on any
subject was considered good unless
ne discussed the psychological as
poets" This year 1t is philosophy.
House stenogs have tired of speeches
beginning. THE Philosophy of This
Legislation" blah, blah, blah.
The popularity Of these two words
during the last two sessions is at
tributed to the fact that if a speaker
does not know the details of his sub
ject he can speak freely about the psy-
chology or philosophy of it.

A series of developments like those
in Kentucky and California lately has
caused them to change thier opinions.
They are beginning to get evidence
that the Kansas stay-at-home has
tremendous undercover organization.
They say it was established almost en-
tirely by mail. They already speak Of
it respectfully as the chain-letter
campaign"
That is exactly the same technique
Mr.. Roosevelt used to build up his pre-
convention organization four years
ago.
Japanese Dust Storm.
The Japanese are only kicking up
dust in Mongolia. Their hidden pur-
pose is to create an excuse for moving
more troops up to the Russian front.
This is the inside explanation accred-
tied in the best official circles here.
No one here believes hostilities are
as imminent as they appear to be.
The amusing part OF it is that
the Mongoiidns are shouting re-
markable resistance. They haze
declined to run like most OF the
Chinese. That fact in itself is SUI
ticient reason for belieUing that
current bonlbings and border incl
dents mill lead only to strength
ening OF the japanese military
position.
The war will come later.
Note.-Outer Mongolia is not yet q
part of the Soviet Union. But it bor-
ders on the autonomous Buryat Mon
golian Republic, which is Russian ter
ritory. The people of both countries
are Of the same race. Moscow has
been training its Buryat subjects and
sending them into Outer Mongolia as
missionaries. The result has been a
mutual assistance pact between the
Soviet Union and Outer Mongolia.
Germany's Terms.
The secret understanding between
Toxic and Berlin is supposed to be
somewhat one-sided. 1t provides that
if the japanese decide to move against
Russia, no obligation rests upon Ger
many to join Immediately. But if
Germany decides to go, the japanese
will move at once. This information
is in the hands of competent authori-
ties here. They believe it to be
highly important. It means that
japanese aggression would not imme-
diately cause a world war, but Ger
man aggression would.

DERN SEES PERIL
IN SMALL ARMY
Tells Army Day Audience
Preparedness Is Best
Peace Guarantee.
BY the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, April 7.-Secretary of
War George H. Dern, warning that
Americas Army was dangerously
small" told Chicagoans gathered in
observance Of Army day last night
that military cemeteries. manned vet
erans and national debts were the
penalty this country has paid for
unpreparedness.
He spoke on the 18th anniversary
Of Americas entry into the World
War. after he had reviewed parade
of $4,000 soldiers, Reserve officers and
war veterans.
Given 19-Gun Salute.
Flags and bunting greeted the Sec
retary's appearance with high officers
Of the Army, including Maj. Gen.
Frank Mccoy, commander of the 9Th
Corps Area. Nineteen guns saluted
him when he arrived at the reviewing
stand.
There has never been any occa-
sion for alarm lest our Army become
dangerously large" Secretary Dern
said.
GAS nation We have had half a
dozen major wars and were not pre-
pared for any of them. Had We been
better prepared We might not have
been forced to fight and we would
have attained victory in much shorter
time" he said.
Honored at Banquet.
Dern, who was guest of honor at
an Army day banquet, said the "an-
niversary serves to remind us that
war in any quarter of the world may
sometimes involve even those nations
remotely distant from the point where
the struggle begins. Facility of trans
portation and communication has an
nihalated distance. All countries
have become neighbors.

international quarrel anywhere Is a
potential threat to world peace, and
geographical remoteness no longer in

Dern said that every action by the
President and by Congress in inter-
national affairs has been taken with
view toward peace.
Americas policy of national de-
fense-on land, sea and in the air
is a policy of patriotism and common
sense" he declared.

sion after the temporary delay.
Mrs. Jenckes testified during the
hearings, in opposition to the Sisson
bill. and. incidentally, hurled some
blanket charges to the effect that the
Board Of Education is ro-communis-
tic and grossly inefficient.
At the insistence of Mrs. Norton,
Kennedy called a special meeting OF
his subcommittee last week, primarily
to give Mrs. Jenckes an opportunity
to amplify the charges. But she left
Washington few days ahead of the
meeting, and it was postponed in
definitely.
Mrs. Jenckes not only fought the
move for repeal of the red rider" but
she made several futile attempts to
get 26S pages of testimony about the
alleged inroads communism has made
in the public schools, given the Sub
committee on Appropriations which
framed the 1887 District appropriation
bill, included in the hearings on the
Sisson measure. Some Of that testi-
mony was her own.

Several important figures in Mexico n

They were: Col Eduardo Hernandez
Chazaro, chief of the presidential staff
of former President Pascual Ortiz
Rubio; Ochoa Zamudio and DR.
Padilla. They were en- route to Mexico
City to present their reports on the
elections.
Despite the presence Of political
authorities on the bomber train, au-
thorities here maintained belief that
it was unlikely the bombing arose
from political motives.
Robbery Motive Discounted.
Another theory, however, which was
at first given some credence, that the
motive was robbery of the railroad
paymaster, proved baseless when it
was learned the paymaster was return
ing to the capital without funds, after
paying employees here yesterday.
The Mexican railway officials de-
clined to issue any statement until
the skeleton reports of the bombing
were more complete, the only advices
available saying there were many
dead" without making any attempt to
estimate the number.

rible ordeal the two went through
and even had enough strength to
crawl on his hands and knees out
of the underground chamber so
that Scadding could be carried
out on the lone "toboggan"
Stretcher available in the narrow
