The cabinet met with President Ale bert LeBrun presiding. General staff officers and chief of all the fighting services considered possibilities France demanded 6 meeting of the league council. A meeting of Lo- carno nations was called for tomor- row. War ministry plans to rein force the frontier were approved Premier Albert Sarraut made a speech to the nation. There were foreign office conferences with Brit ish and Italian and other envoys Jesse 1sador Straus, American am- bassador, obtained an outline of the situation from Foreign Minister Pierre Etienne Flandin in long talk.
 Rejects Peace Proposals
 Sarraut in his speech curtly rec ected Hitler peace proposals. France could not even consider them, he said, first because Germany violated her treaties; secondly because France would not negotiate under the menace of troops in the Rhine- land. He told the country how France had tried to negotiate in friendly manner with Germany. He disclosed that after newspaper inc terview in which Hitler expressed a wish for friendship with France only few days ago-the French ambassador asked Hitler to explain all possibilities. Hitler told the am- bassador, Sarraut said, that he had already worked out basis for pro- posals which would be submitted soon. When Andre Francois Poncet the ambassador, went to receive the proposals, Sarraut said, he was given the memorandum in which Hitler announced his repudiation of the Versailles and Locarno treaties, with his peace proposals as a side issue. Tn March, 1885, Sarraut recalled, Hitler said in speech that he con- sidered the Locarno treaty one of the great safeguards of peace.
 It is understood that in approving war ministry plans, the government approved also the calling Up of army reservists by hundreds of thousands whenever necessary.
 There is talk in government cir cles of withdrawing French athletes from this summers Olympic games in Germany.

rary ofilce was already being erect ed this morning by company work men. Cesar Tremaglio is president of the firm and Ralph Tremaglio is treasurer, The land and buildings are owned by Mrs. Philomena Tre- magIio. The company employs about 20 persons.
 Two freight cars, owned by the New Haven railroad, are in ruins. one. a wooden box car, was burned completely to the trucks and the other, which is sheet metal, was burned inside and warped probably heyond repair. J. H. Greer, super intendent of the Waterbury rail- road station, Captain Ralph H. Kingsley, and number Of insur- ance adjusters were at the scene this morning.
 Safe Proved Unsafe
 The company safe was opened this morning but the interior was red-hot and records, with the excep- ton of some accounts kept in a separate, fireproof box, were de- gtroyed. Police at each end of roads leading to the scene of the blaze kept traffic moving and halt d hundreds of curious drivers irl- tent on getting as close as possi- bic.
 The fire started shortly before 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon in a small shack near the Highland divi- sion tracks of the New Haven road on the west bank of the Naugatuck river. It quickly spread to the piled-up lumber.
 Gutted Three Buildings
 The blaze gutted three buildings of two stories each, truck, mill machinery, cement mixers, a dry ing kiln and thousands of feet Of lumber. According to the fire mar ghafs office the figures confirmed by company officials, the loss was as follows: lumber and other supplies, 975,0 ,000 to $30,000; buildings, $20,- poo; tools, machinery and equip mcnt, $20,000 to $25,000. Telegraph wires of the Western Union were damaged and lines had to be rerout- ed.
 A lack of water pressure due to lengthy hose lines handicapped firemcn. One truck owned by the company was brought out of the yard intact. Only one was lost in the fire.
 Supernumerary Luddy
 The fire was first seen by Super numerary Policeman James Luddy, who called fire headquarters and re- ported that Q shack at the side of the tracks was burning. Engine II from Town Plot was sent at PAP o'clock. Tn answer to another call that the fire was spreading, Bunker Hill engine company, chemical headquarters company and the East Main street truck company were sent out. Further calls brought out Brooklyn engine company and head quarters engine company and a Naugatuck engine company. Fire Chief Thomas J. Lynch, and Act ing Deputy Chief Martin J. Cam picn directed the laying of the lines. Fire Chief Milton Calvin accom- panied the Naugatuck company.
 Sergt. Duggan Directed Traffic

army today.
 All policemen in the Rhineland will in effect, become infantrymen. Though figures were not immedi- ately available, 1t was admitted that Adolf Hitler's new defi would con- siderably augment the 45,000 men estimated to be in the forbidden zone.
 Some unofficial sources estimated that not less than 5000 men would be affected. The order affects those police who arc garrisoned as state policemen in the Rhineland, not the ordinary city constables.
 Tn incorporation will bring the infantry strength in the Rhineland to the proper proportion with other units. It had been noted that there was disproportion between the num- ber of infantrymen and artillery men sent into the zone. At Dues- seldorf, for instance, no infantry men were sent in at all--only artil- lery and air force men.
 It was understood that the police would continue to wear their pres- ent green uniforms, already like those of the army. They are equippel with carbines, bayonets and steel helmets. Their total num- ber in Germany has been estimated as high as 300,000. They are the green uniformed" state police.
 Re-Natl0nalize Rivers
 Berlin, March 9.--(UP)--Gcrmany has re-nationaliZed the rivers Rhine, Danube, Elbe Oder and Moselle, 1t was disclosed reliably today.
 The rivers were made internation- al waterways by the Versailles treaty.
 The Versailles treaty, in part 12, made the following provision: Germany undertakes 60 grant freedom of transit through her ter ritories on the routes most con- venient for international transit, either by rail, navigable waterway or canal, to persons, goods, vessels, carriages, wagons and mails coming from or going to any of the allied and associated powers (whcther contiguous or no); for this purpose the crossing of territorial waters shall be allowed"
 Such persons, goods, vessels, car riages, wagons and mails" the treaty further provided, shall not be subjected to any transit duty or to any undue delays or restrictions, and shall be entitled in Germany to national treatment as regards charges, facilities and all other mat ters. Goods in transit shall be ex- empt from all customs or other similar duties"
 The treaty specifically named the Elbc, Oder. Danube. Rhine and their tributaries.
 These Rights Blasted
 Germany on Saturday informed the interested governments that with assumption of full sovereignty over German territory. she could no longer recognize the Versailles treaty restrictions interngtionalizing the rivers. and could no longer rec ognlze the Jurisdiction of the com missions established .0 administer the affairs of the rivers. The treaty. in articles 340 and a4i, placed the Elbe and Oder under the administration of Rn interaa- tional commission. inciudIng such nations as Britain. France, Italy. I Relaiiim.

 This ancient city, the headquart- CTS of the American army Of occu- patton in 1919, went wild with Joy. as did all the cities and towns of the Rhineland--even those yet to receive their complements of troops Although yesterday was Memorial day for the World war dead, the United Press correspondent saw only one-half masted fiag--a black ban rer high on the Karthaus opposite Coblenz.
 All of Rhineland
 Tn theory, the soldiers had occu- pied all the Rhineland, but many towns that had garrisons before the World war had not yet received Nazi troops. These included Kleve, Julich and Krefeld, between the river and the frontier. old army barracks have disintegrated or have been turned to other uses during the long years the Rhineland was without Q military establishment. In coflse- uuence, many of the troops were housed temporarily in schools, as they were here and at Dusseldorf.
 Three attachments of infantry and artillery marched through the flower and flag decked streets of Mainz yesterday, joining troops that had arrived Saturday, while the massed population shouted heils and hochs. More troops arrived at Frankfurt and Cologne and artillery pieces, flower bedcckcd by enrap- tused civilians, rumbled over the Rhine bridge at Cologne and halted for inspection before the famous cathedral where the square was damned with wildly cheering crowd.
 People OVerjoycd
 Celebrants broke through the cor- don of storm troopers to throw gar- lands of flowers around the necks of infantrymen and artillerymen.
 At Dusseldorf, artillery detach- ments arrived and were reviewed be- fore the Rhine memorial to the Uhlans, troops of the World war while an air squadron flew in for nation over the Rhine.
 Units already arrived In the Rhlneland included infantry, artil- lery, flame throwers, trench mor- tars and several squadron Of fight ing planes.
