The city was gaily be-fiagged in
honor of Der Fuehrer's coming, and
widespread anxiety over the serious
ness of the situation raised to fever
pitch popular interest in what Hitler
would say.
The observance of Army day, first
anniversary Of the rearmament of
Germany in defiance of the Versailles

over the freeing of the Rhineland
In violation of the Locarno pact and
Versailles treaty.
Der Fuehre2, before coming to the
Rhineland, went from Munich to Ber-

at the chancellory with Foreign Min

Hitler extended simultaneously with

DWELLING BURNED,

Carpenter Works on Make

and 5 Children.

A few feet from the heap Of ruins
left after fire destroyed his new home
Saturday, Julian Bruce. 32-year-old
carpenter. sadly began work today on
q make-shift shelter for his wife and
FIVE small children in a small auto
mobile trailer.
After saving for IL years and build
ing a house with his own labor at
TOO Atlantic street southeast, a blaze
which Bruce believes started from
paints stored in the attic burned the
home to the ground while the fam
lily was away.
Fire Occurred in Absence.
The fire occurred when the car
penter and his sick wife we're in
Charlottesville, Va, where Mrs. Bruce
was taken for medical attention. When
the family returned Saturday night
they found the house was ashes.
The old trailer in which Bruce
lived on Alabama avenue for two
years in order to save for building
fund, was moved to the pile Of ashes
this morning, and the carpenter and
an ll-year-old son Billy started build
ing floor to the small box-like struc-
ture which will be their home unless
Washington citizens offer material. aid
to the family. Two dollars in cash,
an old automobile, trailer and the
empty lot on which it stands are
their total possessions.
Worried Over Clothing.

Stubbornly remarked. but he admitted
he was worried considerably over
! clothes and shelter needs for the chill
dren. They are staying temporarily
with his father, George Bruce, in
Alexandria. and will return to school
here as soon as the father can pro-
vide a home for them.
With two days OF from the P. w. A
project on which he is employed in

hopes to build the trailer into an ade-
quate house, despite the fact that he
has less than so square feet of floor

trying to impress upon the President
the dangers of the forthcoming Ger
man menace. He left the United
States with the conviction that his
argument had not been wasted.
Pressed for Alliance Approval.
It is because of this conviction that
Germany would soon become a first
class military power that he pressed
for ratification of the Franco-Rus-
sian military alliance, despite advice
to the contrary from London and
from some of his own men in Berlin.
Flandin is a man of action. He
believes in peace, but would not shrink
from taking strong measures to curb
Germanys rising military power.
Anthony Eden. the British foreign
secretary, is the most virulent eXpon-
ent in Great Britain of the idea Of
collective security through the agency
Of the League of Nations.
He believes in a strict enforcement
of existing treaties and has been
chilly responsible in applying sane
tions against Italy.
This time. however, Eden is in a
less favorable position to continue
this policy.
Backed by Military.
During the Italo-Ethiopian conflict
he had the backing not only of the
pacifist and pro-League element
k,,&
of the military.
The pacif1sts and one of their prin-
cipal exponents. Lord Robert Cecil,
were clamoring for peace even at
the price of war" The interests of
the empire appeared threatened by
MusSolini's adventure in East Africa.
Public opinion supported them and
Eden.
This time. however. the same ele-
ments which stood 100 per cent for
q sanctionist policy show less enthu-
siasm. The result of a conflict in
Europe in no way can help the en-
pire. And Edens voice is less loud,
his speeches less fiery than a few
weeks ago when he was urging all
kind of sanctions against Mussolini.
The main role in British foreign.

ing street.
Favors Aid for France.
Baldwin is neither emotional nor
sentimental. To him there can be
only one guiding thought as far as
Britain's foreign relations are con-
cerned-the interests and the safety
OF the Empire. He believes Great
Britain should assist France if she
ever gets into real difficulties. Hence
his speech of some 18 months ago
that the Rhine and not the Channel
is Britain's boundary in Europe. He
sincerely believes that, but he also
believes Britain should not jeopardize
