FRANCE FEARS
NAzITHREAT
BY n. X. REYNOLDS

LONDON, Jan. Is. Q.N.S)
An angry Italy, nervous France,
opportunist Germany, irresolute
Geneva and neutral America
were on the slate for discussion
today at an important session Of
the British cabinet to draft in
structions for Anthony Eden to
follow Monday at his first meet
ing of the League Of Nations
council as foreign minister.
Today's meeting followed two
tense gatherings Of the defense
committee of the cabinet. where
word was received that Premier
Mussolini, Gin bad temper" had
complained to Premier Laval Of
France against constant strength
ening of British air force, mill
tary, and naval contingentS
around the Mediterranean.
But Laval could give Mussolini
little comfort, the ministers were
repeatedly told, for information
reaching London indicates France
is sorely worried over a possible
German move into the demilitar-
lied Rhineland.
Government circles here heard
that less restrained Nazi elements
were urging Chancellor Hitler to
take advantage Of the present dis
turbed European situation to send
troops into the area demilitarized
under the Versailles Treaty, thus
wiping out practically the last
remnant Of that pact.
For this reason, France Is
forced to collaborate more closely
with Britain in precautions
against trouble with Italy, in re-
turn for British support against
the Reich threat.
The French general staff is
understood to be pressing British
authorities for a renewal Of their
recent cooperative defense con-
ference in the light Of this re-
ported danger.
Instead Of making any move
to appease Mussolini. therefore,
the defense committee actually
took up the question Of increas-
ing British forces in Egypt still
more.
While the feeling grew today
that there is little likelihood of
an oil embargo emerging from
Geneva next week. pending def
mite revelation Of Americas plans,
some British ministers are recon-
mending a bold move to bring
about peace in Ethiopia and thus
discourage any German action.

Laval Vote For DaV

PARIS, Jan. is U.N.S0 While
the Radical Socialists try to de-
eide today whether they want to
take over the government in this
trying period Of internal and in.
transitional difficulties. Premier
Iaval's test in the Chamber Of
Deputies was deferred until to-
morrow.
Then. if the RadicalSocialists
choose, they can withdraw the
voting freedom their representa-
tives in the chamber have been
enjoying, and force Laval's over

WILSON LIED
ON TREATIES,
SAYSNYE
Claims He Knew of
Scheme to Repair
tition Europe
International News Service

In an even tone of voice, Sen.
ator Gerald P. Nye (R.) Of North
Dakota, today made the accuse
ton in the Senate munitions in
veStigation that the late PreSi-
dent woodrow Wilson and his
Secretary Of Safe, the late
Robert L.onsing. lied after the
war IN denying that, before the
Paris peace conference. they knew
Of the existence of secret allied
treaties repartitioning Europe. Nye
observed:
Both President Wilson and
Lansing falSified, in stating
that they knew nothing Of the
secret treaties"
Great Britain's tactics on the
high seas in 1915 almost precipi-
tated a break in her friendly rela.
tionS with America, State Depart
ment documents placed in the
Senate Munitions Committee rec
ord today revealed.
Britain'S policy of arming mer-
chant ships and her high.handed
attempts to prevent neutral boats
from carrying any goods to Ger
many so irritated President Will
son that he considered q blunt
ultimatum to the British.
Mr.. Wilson wrote his friend,
Col. Edward M. House, on July
%, 1915:
81 am, l must admit, about at
the end Of my patience with
Great Britain and the allies"
Was CenSOring Mail
At this time Great Britain had
begun her policy of intercepting
and censoring neutral mail on the
high seas, she had black1isted
certain American manufacturing
firms and was at the same time
complaining about the German
submarine campaign.
Wilson referred to the British
policies as altogether indefenSi-
ble' in another letter to House.
In the July % letter, he contin-
ued:
"This blacklist business is
the law straw. / am seriously
considering asking Congress to
authorize me to prohibit loans
and restrict expectations to
the allies.

selOr Of the State Department.

Hauptmann losing eleventh-hour
legal battles to stave off his cleo
trocution. set for Q O'Clock Friday
night, the cond elnned mans
brightest hope .oday still seemed
to be Gov. Harold G. Hoffman.
The question Of the hour was:
''What. will Governor Hoffman
do?" No one knew. The governor
remained the enigrnatic figure in
the background. Yet in face Of his
continued silence the rumor would
not down that he intends to grant
Hauptmann 30day reprieve
Hauptfnann'S five lawyers,
meanwhile, prepared to exhaust
every legal maneuver to save the
convicted kidnaper Of the Lind

had determined upon two moves.

After Laundering around in the

and sometimes an occupant of the

Giants won their tenth straight
game yesterday afternoon, while
the Gashouse Gang was losing, to
pull within a half-game of the Ma

1t was a close call, however, as
New Workers won the contest by
the slim margin of one run. The
final score was 3 to 2.
The Chicago Cubs woke up aft
er losing four straight games to
the Pittsburgh Pirates. They de-
/ feated the Cincinnati Reds yes
i terday by the decisive count of 7
to 2. Lee, on the mound for the
Windy City Tribe, allowed but
eight scattered hits.
The St. Louis Cardinals fell vic
tins to the Pirates as did the Cubs
/ before them. Using three pitch
ers in an effort to check the BUGS,
the Cards found that they were
vainly trying to save the game as
the count at the end of the con-

Redbirds in check.

CARS STOLEN

Three cars out of every hundred
registered in the District of Co.
lumbia are stolen every year ac-
cording to a report issued today
by the American Automobile AS
sociation.
This, the association points out,
is further evidence of the fact that
more stringent laws and heavier
penalties are needed to stamp out
auto thievery in the District.
During the past fiscal year, the
report shows, 3.6s9 cars were re-
ported stolen. Ninety five per cent
we're recovered either by police
precincts, the auto squad or the
owners themselves.
The certificate Of title law.
rigidly enforced in the District
and the practice of mailing out
registration applications has been
effective in curbing fraudulent
possession, also the fact that the
District laws require cars to be
equipped with locks, the report
states.
Washington is one Of the 10
Jurisdictions in which the legal
penalty for horse stealing is higher
than for car stealing, according
to the report.

Trina Baronova, 17-year-old pre-

Sevastianov, private secretary to
Col. w. B. de Basil, director gen.
eral of the ballet, were married
here late Thursday, it was learned
today-and thus "double-crossed"
the worried colonel, who thought
they were in New York.
The couple deserted the travel
ing show Thursday, leaving a
note for De Basil which said they
would be honeymooning some
where in New York" for the next
couple of days. Instead, they
made tracks for Newport, and in
an atmosphere of great secrecy,
were made man and wife.
