Dan followed the fox through
heavy brush, across frozen
streams, under windfalls and into
a dark crevice in a great noun
tain boulder. The fox leaped up
an ,ncline in the fissure, ran pre-
cariously along ledge and took
again to the underground above.
Dan tried the same jump, slipped,
rolled 40 feet farther down the
crevice and was marooned at the
entrance to a long but narrow
cavern.
Last night six men, working by

HOT SPRINGS, Ark. Jan. Z,
Stars of major league baseball,
representatives of both the Ameri-
can and National League, were
among the silent throng who
paid their last respects today to
Charles A. Stoneham, late preSi,
dent of the New York Giants.
Stoneham died here last night.
In the line that filed by the
casket at the Paul Heady Funeral
Home were Gordon Mickey
Cochrane, manager of the Detroit
Tigers; AL Simmons and Tommy
Bridges also of Detroit, and
Woody English and Bill urges
of the Chicago Cubs. The big
league stars are wintering here.
Stoneham died last night OF
nephritis. He had been in a coma
for more than a day. The base
ball magnate came here the mid
die of last month for treatment.
At 4 o'clock this afternoon the
Rev. Charles B. Mccoy, rector Of
st. Johns Cathedral. will conduct
a short service and the body will
be sent to New York tonight.
Those who will accompany the
body to New York are Stoneham' S
son, Horace; Ernie Vieberg, who

University of Maryland's basket
ball team will take the courts to-
night against Virginia Military
Institute at Richie Coliseum.
This will mark Maryland'S first
game in the Southern Conference
championship.
The Cadets are heralded as q
fast-moving, well-coached outfit.
The team is comprised Of sophie
mores, but they know their way
around and about.
Maryland Is not lacking In quail
ity. In Wheeler, former Tech
High star, Thomas, also former
star at Tech, Johnny Mccarthy,
formerly of Eastern, and Bill Bry-
ant, former Central High School
standout, Maryland has a formid-
able list of reserves ready to fill
in where the likes of Vic Willis,
Bernie Buscher, AL Waters or
Charlie Keller leave off.

unusual height has made him a

Freilicher Shines
Covering their adverSarieS as
closely as gloves on so many
hands, Reinhagt'S proteges led by
the amazing young Brooklynite,
George Freilicher, slapped down
potential goals in their incipiency,
intercepted passes, and retrieved
the ball from the Oglethorpe back
board virtually every time it was
thrown up. Hal Kiesel, six-foot-

honors with Freilicher in this re-

Nobody was greater than
Willie Keller" Nick replied. "He
and Speaker were entirely diff
ferent in type. and both were
great. Keller was a little bit of q
man. He used a light bat
which he held in the middle and
hit with a chop stroke.
"When Keller was leading
the league they used a dead
ball. You couldn't take hold Of
the end of the bat and get any
place against those pitchers
and that type of ball. Keller
and John McGraw made the hit
and-run play famous. Keller
would bunt or slap a single to
the OutfieId.
"McGraw or Jennings would
hit to right field. They were
masters at this.
"KeeIer was a great fielder"
AltrOck said, but Speaker was
q great fielder also. There was
no greater Outfielder than
Speaker. The trouble with this
team is that there are not
enough positions"

Hitler DefieS Powers
On Rhineland Move

The statement asserted Ger
many might have declared the
Locarno Treaty voided by the
Franco-Soviet Treaty, and might
then have withdrawn completely
from the European field of CO
operation without re-militarizing
the Rhineland.
Instead of this. Germany offered
a constructive plan for definite
pacification of the continent, the
statement said, and added:
"The German government de-
sires nothing better than either
direct negotiations with France
and other European powers over
realization of these peace pro-
pOsals, and therefore has kept
remilitariZatiOn on a symbOlical
status.
"There will be no change Of
the present status of militariZa-
ton provided an analogous atti-
tude is exhibited by France and
Belgium during these ncgOtia-
tiOnS."
The statement concluded with
this threat to withdraw from the
peace efforts:
"If this attitude should not be
agreed to by the other govern
ments, the German government.
it goes without saying, will with
draw its proposals, and would
rather choose honorable iSOla-
ton than continue to live as a
nation Disseminated against by
Others"

Britain and Italy as guarantors
of the Locarno pact.
Listing the forces of these ma
tions together. the German gov
ernment estimated a total peace
time strength of 100000 men
lined up against Germany. and
a wartime strength of 30,000.000
men.
Countering Frances claim the
Rhineland must be de-militarized
again despite these security assur-
anceS, the statement said:
"And now France claims 19
German battaliOns in the Rhine
land constitute a menace to
French security, guaranteed by
half the world"
The German government then
drew the conclusion the small
German contingent in the Rhine
land proves Germany does not in
tend to put France under pressure,
nor to force France into negotia-
tionS under unacceptable circum-
stances.
Furthermore, it was stated the
German proposals constitute
great peace offer hitherto unavail'
able and exclude any discrimina-
tion against any country.
Hitler's proposals included an
offer to conclude 25-year pact OF
non-aggression with France and
Belgium. He contended the
F'ranco-Soviet pact, nearing final
ratification in Paris, was directed
against Germany.

The resolution introduced by

revised his resolution on his under
standing it would go to the Mill

The House leaders ruled other
wise, even though a similar reSolll.

Since the Rules Committee is the

day that the French army gen.
eral staff had presented the Lo-
carno signatories with facts and
views concerning Germany'S mill
tary dispositions in the Rhine
land and directly behind it of
such serious nature that the Brit
ish were compelled to modify
their original standpoint that ne.
gotiations must precede action.
The fact that 10000 German
troops have been sent to the
Rhineland was submitted to the
cabinet by Eden, who bore out
the French declaration that they
considered themselves genuinely
menaced and could not talk with
Hitler until the pistol is taken
away from our head"
On the other hand, it Is reliably
estimated that upward of 100000
French troops face the Germans.
and the French enjoy the incom-
parable advantage of entrench-
ment in the worlds most effective
Notifications.
What Europe fears now is that
French threats and the presence
of such a preponderance Of French
forces on the Rhine may lead
Hitler to increase, rather than de-
crease, his troops in order to pre-
pare his defence against possible
French attack.
Such a development is precisely
the reason for British anxiety, for
they know and all Europe knows
that it would vastly increase the
danger of war.

the weapon Of defender and
proved to be the deadliest ma
chine for slaughter used in the
late war.
The Germans have had enough
time to supply themselves with
scores Of these engines Of death.
The French must read their own
history if they want to realize
what an incalculable force they
would encounter when they come
up against a people who rejoice
in death for "patrie." 1t Is all
written in the history Of both
France and Germany.
I am still hopeful that the
league council will restrain French
mpatience. There are sinister
factors working for war. The first
is the bitter hostility between
Russia and the Nazi regime. Judg-
ing by the communication in the
press today from the Soviet Am
baSsador in London, Russia is
doing its best to stir up French
pugnacity. That will probably en-
courage and stimulate the bellicose
elements in Paris.
There is a deadly feud between
Communist Russia and Nazi Ger
many. The Soviet leaders know
that if they can defeat Germany
and destroy the prestige of the
present leaders, communism will
inherit the ruins. That would be
the inevitable result. From their
own viewpoint war with Germany
would advance their chances of
Supplanting the Swastika with the
red flag in Central Europe.
Communists in Accord
It is rather significant that the
Communist party of French,
which is nominally pacifict, just
passed a flamboyant resolution
demanding steps should be taken
for effectively protesting against
Hitler's action in the Rhineland.
French communism is in com.
plete accord with Russian COM

ness. The question is whether
there is enough moderate opinion
in France to realize the ultimate
perils and uncertainties of war.
1t is hopeful sign that even
some of the most bellicose writer's
in the French press are throwing
out tentative suggestions which
might avert an actual conflict. At
first the French ministers were
inclined to demand complete with
drawal of German troops from the
Rhineland as a condition prece-
dent to any negotiations.
That Hitler could not possibly
agree to as it would involve hu-
initiation of the soldiers who under
his orders have marched with ban
ners waving and trumpets blaring
into the cities of the Rhineland.
Other and more feasible alterna-
tives have now been put forward
such as limitation of the number
of German troops in the Rhine
land and a veto on fortification,
