be called it will not affect their
drivers, since they have guaranteed
the drivers that they viii not

the insurance.
Independent Claims
All of the men who favor a
strike, represented largely in the
membership of the Independent
Brotherhood of Taxi Drivers,
headed by President Ernest G. Dol
lar, made it clear that they favor
compulsory insurance, but think
that by way Of compensation to
the drivers, who will have to bear
an additional burden Of a dollar
a day-according to their own
compensation to pay for it, the
P. U. C. should: limit the number
of cabs licensed to operate on the
streets, or as an alternative, raise
the rates so the drivers can pay
for the insurance without working
for starvation wages.
VeCIidto-ntaon-hcon the time fora
The cab drivers are as much an
gered over the House failure to
limit the number of cabs as they
are over the passage Of the insur-
ance bill.
The insurance vote was taken
yesterday in the House on the
regular District Day." with bitter
debate revolving around the taxi
limitation bill. The measure was
opposed by several House leaders,
including Representative John j..

said the bill amounted to regimen

Diplomatic circles here professed
to see a "deal' in effect between
Chancellor Adolf Hitler and the

whereby the latter is soft-pedaling
it's opposition to the Nazi adven-

further leeway in cooperating with
Premier MuSSolini.
In return, according to these
circles, Hitler has given way to the
view of German militarists regard
ing Austria.
The ReichSfuehrer, it was stated,
last week was on the point of de-
nouncing the recent Austro-Ger-
man agreement for non-interfer-

was about to order Nazi storm
troopers, secretly concentrated
along the Austro-G German frontier,
to enter Austria.
War Minister Werner Won Blom-

from this, according to Paris diplo-

might create new battle-ground
in Central Europe. 1t was stated
Won Blomberg informed Hitler
such tactics would be foolish with
the German army not yet ready for

Britain Prepares to Mobilize
Navy in Mediterranean
BY KINGSBURY SMITH
Copyright. 1887. by International
News ServIcel

LONDON, July 13-Britain to-
day prepared to place her navy on
a virtual war footing in the Medi-
terranean in the event Europe's
Spanish non.intervention agree
ment collapses and leads to in
creased tension between Britain
on one hand and Italy and Ger
many on the other.
Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden
summoned the Imperial Defense
Committee to meet in the House
of Commons this afternoon for
further discussion of means of
strengthening Britain'S naval posi-
ton in the Mediterranean-"mare
nostrum" to Italy and lifeline of
empire" to Britain.
Measures under consideration
include close cooperation with
France. Plans are being made for
British ships to use French naval
ports in the event of trouble with
Italy or Germany over the exist
ing situation.
Meanwhile, the British political
situation emerged from the back
ground and was injected into the
middle of the European crisis.
Opponents of Eden claimed a
serious split has arisen between
him and Prime Minister Neville
Chamberlain over the Spanish
situation. Eden is said to favor a
strong stand against Germany,
while Chamberlain is represented
as advocating heavy application
of soft pedal.
Reports also spread that Eden
failed to inform Chamberlain be-
fore he went to France over the
past weekend. The Prime Min
lister was said to have become ir-
ritated about this. and to have
notified Eden that hereafter he
must not leave the country with
out telling Chamberlain where he
planned to go.

JAPANESE OFFENSIVE ON

(By The Associated Press)
The Chinese 10Th army reported to-
day it had smashed a Japanese often
sive against Peiping in the first ma
jor battle in the informal war in
north China.
The japanese attacked Pefping's
environs at dawn after expiration of
their final ultimatum demanding with
drawal of Chinese divisions from the
Pieping area. A whitening Japanese
aerial attack shattered the Chinese
lines. Chinese commanders declared
their troops recovered, however, and
captured a Japanese field headquart-
ers and an important railway center
between Peiping and Tientsin in a
counter-attack.
The Japanese high command at
Tlentsin, base of the japanese army in
north China, denied the Chinese re-
ports and asserted Peiping's defenders
had been hurled back on the city's
walls ~
Both capitals made declarations of
open hostilities. n
