There had been the customary application
for new trial. Molly had sold their house,
then. It was such dear little house, and
they'd saved almost enough to pay off the
mortgage, but the savings were gone, and she
might as well let the place 60. If she hadn't,
Jimmy might have been dead now.

had been mo-" All right, they shouldn't take
Jimmy from her; no one could do that.
Molly'd got a job in the Office of someone who

permitted.
2. France agreed to plan which
does not include sanctions or punitive
action against Germany.
3. France has dropped the stipula-

LONDON, March 81 tP.-Official
British quarters announced today that
they had invited Adolf Hitler to make
counter-proposals to the, tentative
plan of the four remaining Locarno
members.
These official sources said that the
Germans are free to express their point
of view and to make alternative sug-
gestions for any provisions in the Lo-
carno accord which they consider OBJ
jectionable.
Tempering the sharpness of the
peace plan announced in the British
white paper yesterday, London sent
word to the Reichsfuehrer that the
interim period during which the pro-
posed international force would oc-
cupy the Rhine zone would be "as
short as the British can make it" and
possibly only few weeks.
British Foreign Secretary Anthony
Eden placed himself at the disposal
of Joachim Won Ribbentrop, Hitler's
