BY WALLACE r. DEUEL.,

Chicago Daily News Foreign Correspondent.
BERLIN, Sept. 3-Czech- German
relations grew worse today and new
crises appeared inevitable in the near
future.
Europe's war fever, which shot up
to l04 last week end, hovered around
l03 today and some of those gathered
at the bedside of the patient were
so overjoyed that they spoke of a
significant change for the better.
These erratic changes in temperature
prove no more. however, than those
which occur from hour to hour in
most fevers.
The disease is running it's course,
the crisis has not yet been reached.
The patient is still alive, which is
something, and perhaps a good deal.
But the longer the fever lasts the
Weaker-and less responsible-the
patient becomes.
One Solution, Say Nazis.
The fundamentals of the situation
remain exactly what they were before.
From the historical point of view"
as an important Nazi said today, there
Is only one solution" of the problem
which is acceptable to Germany,
namely, formal outright union of
Sudeten Germans with the Reich.
The regime here will continue to work
for this solution" by essentially the
same methods it is using now.
Short Of this, an Intermediary set
tlement is possible. But the only
KIND OF even an Intermediary settle
ment which the Nazis will accept is the
granting of such a wide measure of
autonomy to the Sudeten Germans
that their position would be similar
to that Of the Germans in Danzig.
And there is nothing like agreement
yet on even such an intermediary set
tlement." All available evidence to-
day indicated that the near future of
German-C relations would be
essentially the same as during the re-
cent past-negotiatio to continue but
also constant pressure and tumult and
incidents and press campaigns and
uproar and strained nerves.
No Action on Proposals.
The new Czech proposals are neither
accepted outright nor rejected out
right here. The Nazi press today re-
ports new frontier incident of which
1t makes much. There may be real
improvement in the situation in the
near future. but it is too early to say
even that with any confidence. And
there certainly is no real Improvement
up to the present.
Another German customs official
was fred on by the Czech border
patrol along the frontier between
SaXony and Czechoslovakia. the Nazi
press charges today. and the Voel-
klscher Beobacht says:
The similarity of this incident
to the one which preceded it almost
warrants the supposition that this
new shooting across the frontier by
Czech officials is done on orders from
above, These clear, systematic at

JUDGE CUTS TERM
SET IN SAME COURT
Justice Let's Reduces Sentence
in Robbery Trial Melted
by Proctor Here.

A one-to-fve-year prison sentence
imposed by one District Court justice
in robbery trial recently was reduced
yesterday to term of one to three
years by another justice of the same
court.
This unusual action took place in
the case of 18-year-old Albert S. Ia
morria, 1903 L'Enfant square Sc, who
was indicted for robbery August and
sentenced two days later by Justice
James M. Proctor to term of one to
five years in Lorton Reformatory.
After the sentence was imposed, Ia
morria's counsel. Joseph c. Turco,
brought a petition for habeas corpus
before Justice F. Dickinson Let's.
Justice Let's denied this petition, but
entertained plea to set the sentence
aside and reduced the sentence.
Mr.. Turco argted that Tamorria was
not accorded his constitutional rights
when arraigned before Justice Proctor
in that he was not properly informed
that he was entitled to counsel. He
also contended Justice Proctor erred
when he did not ask Tamorria if he
desired an attorney.
Tamorria pleaded guilty to robbing
Annie Silverberg. 3465 Fourteenth
street NV, on the evening of July 26.
Although his victim wrote letter re-
questing clemency for him. the court
declined to place him on probation.

Encouraging Signs.
Symptoms like these hardly indi-
cate notable improvement in the con-
dition of the patient On the other
hand are certain developments which
are more encouraging.
Baron Ernst Won Weizsaecker, foreign
office undersecretary, has given Sir
Neville Henderson some kind Of sooth-
ing reply to representations the British
Ambassador made upon his return from
London. The undersecretary said that
the Reich would do nothing "over-
hasty," according to one account.
Other versions are less downright.
Even assuming that Baron Weiz-
saecker did use this term, however, it
must be understood to be subject to
change without notice.
There is still another element in the
situation which seems to be made
quate]y understood in London. at least,
and possibly elsewhere and which will
make it easier to achieve a peaceable
settlement than it would otherwise be
the ability to adopt a conciliatory at
tltude If he chooses to do so. The idea
seems to have gained ground abroad
that as a dictator Hitler cannot "re-
treat" Actually, the very fact that
Hitler does WELD such enormous pow
ers and has such complete control of
all channels of information makes it
easier for him to retreat" if he wants
to than 1t is for minister of state in
democratic country-and, of course,

human dyke and stock in icy water
all night. Heavy rains had caused the
River Thesis to rise and peasants built
q dyke. but it soon was pierced. In
spite Of their efforts, the hole steadily
grew larger and the water threatened
to wash away the fields. The two

with their bodies. Spades were driven
into the ground to hold them in
place, and the pair stood there until
