FIN 1929 the total exports of MARYLAND
tobacco, with but indeterminate ouan-

some 100000 pounds in 1884. or a
decline of 38 per cent. However of

nearly 81 per cent of the total
went to France in 1929, only 100000
pounds, or 2.6 per cent of the total

figures show readily why Maryland
producers are so concerned over the
loss Of the French market"
Omcal figures for the first six
months OF 1885 indicate that French

will reach new "low' for the year.
Only 14,7s0 pounds were imported In
those six months, which is next to
nothing at all.
Similarly, the Maryland trade with
the Netherlands, her next best Gus
toner in former years and now her
best, also is showing an alarming de-
cline. Compared with 2,014, ,760 pounds
imported into that country the first
six months of 1884, only 1,202, $50
pounds were consumed in the same
period of 1885. The Netherlands, like

Crisis in Austria Expected as Nazis
Make Gains After Rhineland Move

I African Empire. It will take q long
time before these two nations will
clash.
Austria can be Nazified in two ways
either by violence through another
! "putsch" like the one of July 25, 1884,
when Engelbert Dollfuss was assasssi-
mated, or quietly through changes in
the present cabinet.
New Putsch Possible.
If Hitler wishes to throw down the
gauntlet and show that Germany be-
lieves only in might is right" his
henchmen will proceed with q whole
sale massacre of the present Austrian
leaders and establish 'purist" gov
ernment.
But, if Hitler desires to accomplish
his aims without throwing Europe into
another turmoil. he has only to bring
a few of the Nad leaders INTO the press
ent Schuschnigg cabinet.
The stage is set for such an eventual
ity The rift between the Austrian
chancellor and his aide. the Italian
subsidized Prince Starhemberg, is wide
open. Only two weeks ago. the hand
some vice chancellor warned his chief
that he would save him from his
friends" These friends" Won STAR
hemberg referred to are none others
than Won Papen and his Nad under
lings.
Schuschnigg is not a brilliant man.
The son of an Austrian general, he has,
at heart. the interest of what Is left
Of the once mighty empire. An op-
ponent Of the Nazis in the early days
when he succeeded Dollfuss, he has

cannot live as an independent unit in
Central Europe.
Willing to Take in Naxis.
He is willing, and Berlin knows it,
to widen" his cabinet by taking in q
few Nazis whom Hitler might designate
from Berlin.
Such change would definitely bring
Austria into the Reich's fold and could
not be taken by the outside powers az
a provocative action on the part of the
Reichsfuehrer. 1t would be merely q
matter of internal policy concerning
Austria alone. Neither Italy nor the
Little Entente could find any excuse for
Intervention.
But should the Austrian chancellor,
under the pressure Of outside infiu-
ences change his mind and refuse this
peaceful nazif1cation Of the republic,
a change of regime by violence Is In.
evitable. The chief actors of the DOLL
fuss assassination are still in and
around Vienna. The famous Mai. Fey,
Dollfuss' lieutenant who opened the
door Of the late chancellor's room to
the Naz assassins, Is now a director OF
the Danubian Steamship Co. He and
his friends keep in close touch with
Herr Won Papen and are ready to re-
peat their feat Of July IS, 1894. This
is why the State Department in WASH
ington and the foreign ofices in
Europe will anxiously watch the de-
velopments in the capital Of tbs

Austria was important as long as

full advantage of her military ef-

lonial policy which will keep her fully
occupied during the next 10 years.
1t is for this reason that Hitler and
his military advisors have encouraged
Mussolini in his African adventure. 1t
is for this reason that tile Reich has
been sending Italy all the raw ma

Sweltering Heat Wave

week, when thermometers in this
vicinity went above the 100 degree
mark, has been slowed up, at least,
If not entirely broken. The 100 de-
gree mark was common occurrence
last week, and on Friday ther-
mometers hung out in the sun in
order to see just how high the mer-
curry would go, climbed clear to the
top of the tube.
A thermometer hung in the sun at
the Conowingo Power Company
plant, as test, recorded 1872 de-
grees. The official reading of the
thermometer in the shade, at the
plant, on the same day was 100 de-
grees, but other thermometers re-
corded 1913 degrees ON Friday.
Baltimore carried off the palm as
the hottest city in the East, on Fri
day, when an all-time peak of 1914
degrees was registered officially in
the Monumental city. This tempera-
ture was two full points above the
previous high mark of 1854, regis
tered in 1918.

Authority of the Presbytery of

Tuesday by the refusal Of four tenn

Smyrna, Del, for trial by a special
judicial commission.
If the four ministers persist in re-
fusing to attend trials ordered by
the Presbytery, they face deposition,
or unfrocking.
The judicial committee voted to
meet again at 10 o'clock, standard
time, Friday morning at the First
Presbyterian Church in Smyrna
when the defendants will be cited
for the second time to appear for
trial. The ministers called for trial
are:
The Rev. John P. Clelland of East
lake Church, Wilmington.
The Rev. Robert H. Graham Of
Forest Church, Middletown.
The Rev. Henry G. Welborn of
Newark, pastor of Head of Christiana
near Newark and Pencader at Glas-
gov.
The Rev. Colin G. Weir, supply
pastor of Rock and Zion Churches,
in Cecil county.
Several weeks ago the ministers
announced they would not appear
for trial.
According to the Book of Dis
cipline of the Presbyterian Church
in the U. S. A, when ministers on
trial refuse to appear, "they shall
for their contumacy be suspended"
and then if they do not appear at the
second or third meeting, they shall
be deposed as contumacious.

A tragedy of the surf at St. Angus
tine Beach, Florida, on Saturday,
claimed the life of Edgar Richards,
thirteen of Towson, Md, son of
Major Walter l.. Richards, attending
surgeon of the Third Corps Area, U.

Heretofore, sales for non-payment
of taxes were held by the sheriff,
but under law passed two years
ago, the county treasurer is required
to handle them. However, the law
gives the owner the privilege of re-
deeming his property within one year
and one day, by paying the purchaser
ten per cent in excess of what it was
purchased at the sale.

origin of the fire is not known, but

Suits Filed Against
Power Company

Three suits seeking total damages
of $4,000 from the Conowingo
Power Company have been filed in
Hartford County Circuit Court as the
result of a fallen high-tension line
that electrified wire pasture fence.
Reaves Mccain, tenant farmer Of
Dublin, filed suit for $4,000 dam
ages against the company. His wife,
Lucille Mccain, asked $4,000. Both
were shocked by the current the
broken line transmitted to the pas
ture fence.
Robert l.. Choate, owner of the
farm, asked $1,000 damages for the
death of three cows that allegedly
were electrocuted when they touched
the fence
The incident occurred June 18.
Mccain stated he saw a COW touch
the fence with her nose and fall.
He started to climb the fence The
current knocked him unconscious
and held him fast to the fence, he
said.
His wife grasped his clothing and
freed him, but was shocked in doing
so, it was stated. Meanwhile, the
suits allege, two more cows touched
the fence and were killed.
Power company employees blamed
the broken wire on friction from tree
branches that had not been trimmed.
The wire carried 1890 volts.
