A terrifying atmosphere of sus-

court off Whitehall today as the
Locarno powers gathered once
more to try "to stop the war to

The first and most important
reaction to this was to draw Bri-

now it appears certain that Bri-
tain will support French demands
before the League Of Nations
Council in London tomorrow.
Thus the three principal parties
to the quarrel have each remained
on a pedestal Of prestige, and
though a war Of immeasureable
consequences might result, none
will climb down.
The French senate'S enormous
majority in ratifying the Franco
Soviet pact has strengthened the

Having failed to reach any de

q second formal gathering was
called for 5 p. m. in Foreign
Secretary Eden's room in the
foreign office.
In private conversations with
the British before the Locarno
conference was resumed today, &C
cording to authentic reports,
French Foreign Minister Flandin
said that whatever the conse-
quences, France was determined
to call Hitler to account.
The French general staff had
told him, Flandin said, that it was
"now or never" and France has
the support of Russia, the Little
Entente and Italy. Ambassador
Dino Grandi Of Italy received in
structions from Premier MuSSolini
over the telephone last night to
stand with France.
The German army, Flandin said,
IL rapidly growing and will be q
real menace within q couple OF
years.
France wants invocation Of the
military aid provisions of the
Locarno treaty, and is even ready,
according to reports, to march
into the Rhineland, if necessary.
So extreme is the division be
tween France and Germany, with
Britain standing precariously in

insisted on a complete demilitari.

France and Foreign Commissar

Foreign Minister Eden and
Prime Minister Baldwin also had
an hours talk before the Locarno
gathering.
A. meeting Of the cabinet COM
mittee, including the more i'm

with Eden and Viscount Halifax,
the lord privy seal and one Of the
British delegates to the Locarno
session, present. Neville Chamber

afterward went to the foreign Of

The atmosphere had grown
considerably more tense over,

resumed their meeting at the
foreign office.
Hitler'S and Flandfn's immov.

to steer a middle course. Never

to make some proposal to the

found acceptable to both France

lows the Nantahala gorge from Bry-
son City west to Almond, Wesser,
Topton and then on to Andrews and
Murphy will probably leave the pre-
sent route either at the intersection
of Route 10 and and Route 286, which
goes to Franklin, or at Almond and
then cut across to Wesser, thus avoid
ing the Nantahala gorge and river,
Waynick said. The road will go back
into the old location of Route 10 at
Wesser and follow this road as now
located on to Murphy. It has not been
definitely determined, however, if
whether the new location will leave
the present location at or near the
intersection of Routes 10 and 286 or
leave it at Almond.
This new stretch of road will not
only be entirely above the water line
of the proposed new power develop
ment, but will eliminate one of the
most dangerous stretches of winding
road in the mountain section, it was
pointed out.
The new agreement now needs to
be approved only by the Swain coun-
ty commissioners to become effective.
Bids on the construction of this
stretch of road will probably be called
