Expects Peace But

PADUA, Italy, Sept. "a G.N.SJ
To a crowd of 100000 Paduan!
who shouted, I'VE are ready tt

predicted peace for Europe.
At the same time he revealed
that Chancellor Hitler has giver
Prague until October to reply
to his final attitude" on the Su
deten question.
"SUN TO COME OUT"
"The situation" said II Duce
to the roaring crowd, "is like the
weather this morning. It is very
gray, but soon the sun ought to
come out.
There are tendencies and cur.
rents which believe the time has
come to settle accounts with the
totalitarian nations. In this case
they would find themselves not
only against the Germans, but
against a solid bloc.
1T is absurd and criminal that
Europeans ought to hurl them
selves against each other merely
to keep President BeneS (of
CzechoSlovakia) in well being.
"In the approaching days I
ask you to maintain imperturb-
ability because I know each and
all Of you are ready for any
eventuality"
AS the crowd beloved eyes
yes!" II Duce continued:
"Our approval echoes around
the world"
ITALY PREPARED
II Duce expressed hope that any
conflict between the Czechs anc
Germans would be localized. but
declared that if it were not. ItaIJ
is prepared for any eventuality.
I'm the face of Czech provoca-
tions," he said, Germany has
given supreme proof Of her
moderation. She has sent de-
mands to Prague and granted
a delay until october /, before
requiring a reply.
ut is hoped, therefore, that
within these six days the men
who govern Prague will return
to a path of wisdom.
1T would be absurd and
criminal if the youth Of Europe
were to fight one another to
maintain the d o m inion Of
Prague over minorities."

Soviet Warninq
"Serious Move"

MOSCOW, Sept. "a G.N.SO.
High Soviet quarters today re-
garded Russis'S warning to Poland
against marching into Czecho-
slovakia as the most serious move
made by this country in European
affairs since the World War.
The warning was interpreted as
a threat that the Red Army Of
more than 1,400, 900 men would ad-
vance against Warsaw the mo-
ment Polish troops violated the
Czech border.
It was officially denied, however,
that the Soviet army has been or
dered to mobilize.

It was impossible to ascertain
the exact number of men affected

they range up to Is years Of age.

The Big If

GoDEsBERG, Germany, Sept. "a HNs).-The Ger
army will not invade Czechoslovaka- the Czechs
are reasonable"
This given to the world today by Otto
Dietrich Reich press chief along with authentic sum-
mary of the German demands made in Hitlers
dunn to Prime Minister Chamberlain.
Dietrich said:
I'm the memorandum the Fuehrer undertakes not to
use force against the Czechs for at least few days.
He also lays down plan for the progressive
ton Of Sudeenand by Czech troops and the progressive
occupation of that territory by German troops.
This will be done in successive stages in the same
fashion German troops evacuated Alsace-Lorraine
after the World War.
There will be difficulty and no conflict if the
Czechs are reasonable and follow the plan.

points not the matter Of principle but on the
matter of methods"

FEMME FATALE
BY THE MAN IN THE TowEF

It's going to be hard the jeune file this season, She'll find it very difficult to please What with presenting rakish appearance And skirts fast approaching her knees. Hollywood says thumbs down on brief skirts, In them stars never look their best, The long slmmng lines more hattering But in short don't always pass the test. young lady this season must have that something, And what responsibility for gall Colors exotic, she must look tricky and slick, What they call femme fatale. It's going to be hard on the eune file this season, She's got to look alive and go right to bat, With frpperes and fancies quite numerous, bird in the hand will be worth two on the hat.

it is expected they will continue to at
tract flower lovers from nearby States
Should the Agriculture Department
be unable to continue these free sea-
sonal flower shows convenient for
attendance of the Washington public,
the United States Botanic Garden
may take them over Several promi-
nent members of the Senate and House
said today that since the reorganiza-
ton Of the Botanic Garden it has been
intended gradually to develop all sorts
of seasonal flower shows there. They
point out that last year the Botanic
Garden conducted successful exhibi-
tions Of aZaleas, rhododendrons, poin-
settias, cyclamen, Easter lilies and
other spring flowers.

Congressman now in town said they
felt the Botanic Garden should take
over the chrysanthemum and amaryllis
stock plans and bulbs of the Agricul-
ture Department when its greenhouses
are moved to Beltsvilie because, they
claim, their constituents who visit
Washington expecting to see these
shows would be unable to spare the
time to make trip to Beltsville. Rep
resentative Louis Rabaut of Michigan,
who will be chairman of the Subcom-
mittee on Legislative Appropriations,
which provides for support and de-
velopment of the Botanic Garden, al-

provided for further improvement of
