 Continue Efforts

New York, March 9-(UP)-A plan to extend the building service workers strike to 4000 additional office, residential and stores build- ings in Manhattan, Brooklyn and queens was cancelled today by strike leaders to avoid "jeopardiz- ing" Mayor La Guardia's move for settlement. The strike extension plan had been devised to include an additional group of 25,O00 work CTS and would have affected sky scraper office buildings in the teem- ing Grand Central zone.
 This is being done," strike leader James J. Bambrick said in an- r1ouncing the cancellation, with the view of establishing peace and in line with the mayors desire. Il is done further in order to avoid jeoperdizing the proposed peace con- ference"

1 tacks either, and warned aggressive bowers that Britain is not afraid to fight. The important pronounce ments were delivered to a crowded house by Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin and Capt. Anthony Eden, foreign secretary. Both speakers in- dicated that Britain is not looking for trouble and urged peace discus- sions Baldwin said there never can be permanent peace in Europe until Britain, France and Germany get together in friendship. He warned that if there is war, Britain can stand it longer than other powers.
 Sir Samuel Hoare, former foreign secretary, defending the govern ment's "e-armament program, said:
 If we. the greatest democratic state in the world are to meet the challenge of totalitarian autocracy, we must be prepared to make great changes in our system of defense and face heavy expenditures.
 T believe Germany's recent action on the Rhine is blunder shaking the whole foundation of internation- al agreements. The central factor of the European problem is German armament, and that is the essen tial problem of our defense program, !"
 Full German Sovereignty
 Berlin, March 9-(UP)-Negotia- tions to restore full sovereignty of Germany over her rivers, made in- ternational waterways by. the Ver- sailles treaty, have been under way for some time, aE official spokesman announced today.
 Reliable sources said Germany al- ready had resumed control of the rivers. The spokesman, however, de- nied that Germany had made one sided denunciation of the treaty provisions governing the rivers.
 Germany, he said, has not notified the interested powers that she no longer recognizes jurisdiction of the commissions administering the riv- CTS.
 The rivers In question are the Rhine, Danube, Elbe, Oder and Mos- elle.
 It was not believed here today that Germany would accept league invitation to attend the league coun- ell on Friday. It was said Germany made her reasons clear in Fuehrer Adolf Hitler's memorandum to the signatory powers and in his speech to the reichstag.
 However, 1t was indicated Germany would be willing to attend a council meeting to discuss her re-entry into the league.

NO GAIN NOTED
 IN PNEUMONIA
Late Years Mark Second Only to 1884 When Low
 Record Was Set

Connecticut's pneumonia death rate in 1895 was the second lowest on record, the state department of health reported in its weekly bulle- tin today, continuing it's series of statistical analyses Of the years mortality.
 At the same time. the bulletin warned that pneumonia is particu- larly dangerous at this season ot the year when there may be rapid changes in daily temperature and l the disease is more prevalent. With a little precaution on the part oi the general public, the long, trying 1 seigc of a pneumonia illness may be avoided. and l936 may become the fourth year since l85 with total of pneumonia deaths in the state un- der 1000. From 1885. pneumonia deaths have numbered less than 1000 only in 1886. 1887 and 1889, and in those days the population was much smaller than 1t is today.
 The nearest approach to the fig are of 1000 was in the year 1884. when 1869 persons sucumbed to the disease and the all-time low record pn. monia death rate of 62.9 per 100000 population was established.
 The l93j rate was 65.2 per 100000. f A glance back to the figure of 20 years ago reveals great contrast to the rates of the past six year. period, which ranged from q mini- mum of 629 per 100000 population lin 1894 to maximum of 88.4 ln '1e30. In 1916 pneumonia began a dramatic increase with the death rate rising to 1876 per 100000 pee ple, this being the high point up to that time. In 1917 the rate was only slightly lower. Then came 1918 with the pandemic of influenza sweeping over the entire nation and leaving in its wake in Connecticut a trail of 3003 pneumonia deaths. The death rate rose to the all-time high point of 213.5 deaths per 100000 population. If this high rate had been in effect in 1895. there would have been 3679 deaths from pneu- monia. Actually there were ll25 xleaths.
 In contrast f othe maximum mortality rate of 88.4 in the last six-year interval 1t is noteworthy that no interval of six consecutive years since 1885 has the death rate been under 100 per 100000 popula- ton. This is of peculiar interest, the bullstin remarked. owing to econom- ac conditions which began in Octo- Der, 1929. In october, for Connecticut, pneumonia begins it's seasonal in- crease. Do people guard themselves better against the advance agents of pneumonia, colds and infiucnza, 0n 4mes of depression?

The new locomotives, it was said, would speed up schedules and facili- tate the handling of longer trains, with great carrying capacity, result ing in economy. elimination of sey- eral sections and reduction in main- tenance and fuel consumption.
 The coaches were asked ito pro- vide more adequate equipment to handle an increase in passenger traffic, to perfect the placing oi older equipment in less important service and to handle longer trains at higher speeds, with less fuel con stump on. thus reducing mainten- anee costs" The road recently was allowed to purchase a number oI Diesel locomotives.

do SO. He believes that Hitlers pro- posals for aggression agree ments would not be worth the paper on which they would be written.
 At the same time, however France is maintaining her regard for the niceties of international law. Sar- raut and his colleagues are moving along the lines of most impeccablc international procedure.
 French Are Careful
 While taking all the military pre- cautions which they believe to be necessary and justifiable under the circumstances, the French leaders are avoiding any step which might precipitate a conflict.
 Correct legal procedure is for France to place her case before the league. Then if conflict comes, her Justification in law is beyond ques- tionn Meantime she is endeavoring industriouSly to enlist the support of other members of the league especially those nations which sign ed the Locarno agreements and those she considers her possible allies.
 The cabinets of all the chiei European powers, particularly that of Britain, are confronted today with the necessity of making the most momentous decision since 1914 whether and to what extent they will support France in her demands for action against Germany under the treaty of Versailles, which means the imposition of economic, finan- cial, and possibly military penalties upon Germany.
 Meantime there comes word from Berlin that the German goVern- ment will construe any sort Of sanc- tions as a hostile act, justifying military reprisals.
 Germany Invited
 Geneva. March 9-(UP) -- The League of Nations invited Germany today to attend Fridays session of the council at which Frances ap- peal for action against Germany because of her repudiation Of the Locarno treaty will be considered.
 Joseph V. Ayenol, secretary gen. neral, telegraphed to Berlin quoting the French appeal and declaring:
 "'rhe president of the council proposes that the council should meet at Geneva at Il a. m. on March 13. Should the German gov ernment as contracting party to the treaty mentioned wish to par ticipate in examination of this queS- ton by the council, l should be gratified if you inform me"
 The league simultaneously pub lished the councils provisional agenda, comprising "the treaty of mutual guarantees between Ger many. Belgium, France, Great Brit ain and Iealy, done at Locarno on Oct. IS, 1925: A communication from the French and Belgian govern ments."
 Capt. Anthony Eden's speech to the House of Commons was inter- preted as meaning Britain would not take part in any immediate drastic action against Germany.
 Britain was expected to urge moderate course at the meeting of the Locarno powers in Paris tomor- row and at the council meeting here on Friday.

Berlin. March Political quarters stressed the eoneiliatory tone of Captain Anthony Eden's speech today. They expressed satis- faction with the fact that. although he condemned Germany's action. he did not ask for automatic sanctions or recommend rejection of Ger many's proposals
 The opinion was expressed that the speech does not bar the road tO negotiations on the basis Of Fuehrer HitleT's speech, which it is now oermany's primary aim 10 see rec allzed.

May Affect Olympics

London, March 9--(UP)-1t was learned tonight that the British Olympic committee temporarily is suspending public and private ap- peals for funds for this summer s Olympic games in Germany.
 The committee wishes to avert pos sible rebuffs owing to the political situation. The question of Britain $ boycotting the 1886 Olympics, how ever, has not even been considered. It was recalled that Olympic en- tries will not be closed until June 15.
 Geneva. March 9-(UP)-A report was circulated in league corridors to- day that several countries would re- fuse to take part in the Olympic games in Germany this summer be- cause of Adolf Hitler's repudiation of the Locarno treaty
