The European situation has grown
more tangled than ever. This column
could be extended to ten times its
length without providing space for
adequately explaining the plots and
counter plots underlying the recent
acts of the great powers.
Hitler's armed conquest of Austria,
and the rout Of the Schuschnigg gov
.ernment, has crested new panic.
Furthermore. Il has strained pre-
viously cordial German-Italian rela-
tions. Mussolini, for all of his saber-
rafting. Is really trying to staye on
war, knowing his eountry's resources
are inadequate. He prefers bluff to
action. Hitler seems. bent on going
ahead, come what may. and that has
Italy worried.
Most important of all. HitleF's
move into Austria has. put England
on the spot. The Chamberlain gov
ernmept can hardly go ahead with
its plans for a rapprochement with
Germany without openly countenanc-
ing ruthless aggression. And no one
believes the English people would
stand for that.
Everyone feels that Hitler is now
looking toward conquest of Czecho-
slovakia. IL he tries that, armed
conflict seems certain. Russia has
modified troops at her frontier to
throw to the aid of the Czechs in case
Germany makes the expected move.
And France is preparing for trouble.

RADIANT LIVING
A Sequestered Retreat
BY Rev. C. n. Griffeth
Pastor Calvary M. Z. Church
sudiersviils, Nd.

There is a. reason why Jesus ad
vises us, when we pray, to enter into
the closet and to be sure to shut
the door.
We can not lift our thoughts very
high while our attention is being
distracted by the riotous noises OF
the world.
We need to get into some closed
door closet Of quietness-a sequest-
cred retreat--where we can shut the
door and close our eyes to shut out
even the physical environment of the
closet itself, and then we can lift
our thoughts Godward and feel our
selves being lifted heavenward.
When shut in with God there is no
height to which we may not ascend!
An elevator is an illustration of
the purpose of a prayer closet. When
you enter into one of these upon the
ground floor of tall building in a
large city, and the doors clang to-
gether and the current. is turned on,
to what height you are shot up!
At last the upward fight stops.
The door opens and you step out
into a little corridor. You pass
through another door and emerge
upon the roof of the building and
there you are, surrounded by grow
ing flowers of the roof garden, far
above the noise and confusion and
riot of the busy city. out in the pure
air, the warm sunshine, and the
glorious view!
Thus has many a humble prayer
closet proven itself to be au eleva-
tor that has lifted the praying soul
above the distractions and disehOrds
of life and up into that higher realm
that seems to be the very throne of

PRESIDENT GETS BROAD
 WAR POWERS
New Bill Is Passed Under Which Roosevelt
 Would Fix Profits

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25. = The House Military Committee has ap- proved a bill which will give the President broad authority to pre- vent profiteering in war time.
 The action broke a long. commit tee deadlock over the legislation which President Roosevelt recom- mended in his National Defense message.
 The measure contains a provision for universal draft of man power and industry during war time. The President will have the power to put ceiling" on all prices, and also provides for a system of tax ation which will absorb all profits above the fair normal return that will be fixed by Congress"
 The committee approved the leg islation shortly after the President told a press conference in discus sion of the relative merits of battle ship plans that always in the past when any new weapon of warfare had been invented, counter weapon had also been invented.

TUCSON, Arizona, Feb. 25.-The stout heart that carried General John J. Pershing through many military campaigns, showed unex- pected strength this morning.
 Physicians said he had gained ground in the last few hours of the night after lasping into coma at o'clock last night.
 The old soldier partially regained consciousness following the admin istration of heart stinrulants.
 Dr. Roland Davison, who issued bulletin at 615 o'clock this morning hastened to explain that the generals condition remains crit ical. Shortly before midnight, Davi- son had said he doubted whether Pershing could last very long.
 Black Jack" rallied sufficiently at one time to murmur a half dozen words to those at the bed- side. Doctors said he showed signs of recognizing those about him.

ESTIMATE S1,000 DAMAGE CEINFL00D FOLLOWING RAIN
Trouble Mostly Confined to Water Washing Grav-
 el from Highways

Washing of gravel from the roads and damage to culvertS in several places, with an estimated loss of about $1,000, was reported today by the Bureau of Public Roads as floods subsided today following the heavy rain and snow-melting conditions of the last few days.
 The Bureau said the Lemon Creek bridge was sound and that the creek waters had gone down, leaving the road open to traffic as usual. At one time last evening the water covered about 200 feet of the high way near the bridge and warning was given motorists to be careful.
 District Engineer M. D Williams of the BPR said the water washed across the road in several places on the Glacier Highway, one place on the Douglas road and that also there was some little trouble on the Thane road, but that all roads were open. He estimated it would cost about 5000 to make necessary re- pairs.
 There was snow from four to six feet deep back in the mountains, the engineer said, and when the rains came with rising temperatures it released this great mass of water in record time. He said there had been 4.6 inches of rain from Mon day to last night and this coupled with at least four inches of mois- ture caused by the melting snow caused the creeks to overflow their banks and to sweep over the roads where the ice had not yet melted from the culverts.

CCC WORKER SUICIDES IN
 LEAP TO BAY
Lynn Hasbrouck Drowns This Forenoon Off Pa
 cific Coast Dock

Leaping from the Pacific Coast dock shortly before II o'clock this forenoon, Lynn w. Hasbrouck, 3l, CCC worker, committed suicide by drowning.
 Three young men, Bud Lindstrom, Carl Jensen and Fred Harris, saw Hasbrouck take off his coat and hat, sit on the edge of the dock and then push himself off.
 Lindstrom ran to the ferry float for a skiff, but by the time he had launched the craft, Hasbrouck' s body had sunk.
 Bremen called to the scene by alarm 1-5, put out aboard the Du- poco II, moored at the ferry float and picked up the body with grap- bling line on the second cast.
 Artificial respiration was applied by firemen, by hand and by pulmo- tor, but Dr. w. w. Council pro- nounced the man dead 10 minutes later.
 Lynn Hasbrouck was born in La Grande, Oregon, October 27, 1906. He had been in Juneau for a year. In January of this year he went to work for the eco and was sent to Little Port Walter with trail crew.
 Several days ago he was brought to Juneau with an injured eye and put on the sick list. At noon today he was to go back to work.
 He is survived by his mother and father, MT. and Mrs. E. H. Has brouck of this city, and was un- married.
 A coroner's inquest this afternoon decided Hasbrouck had died wilfully by drowning.
 He left no note, but his parents said 'he had been Respondent lately" according to police.

NaziS Claim
 Austria for
 German Flag
Berlin Is Not Pleased as Schuschnigg Address
 Gets Big Hand
(By Associated Press)

The echoes of Chancellor Kurt Schuschnigg' paen of Austrian free dom still fingered today in Europe, but its motif of harmony with Ger many became dangling discord in Berlin.
 In that German city, leading Ma zis called the Schuschnigg orations a swan song.
 Tor us he is finished they said History will have to take its course without him. Austria is ours"
 For New Peace
 Rome, which looked askance at the Hitler-Schuschnigg bargain of Berchtesgaden," was highly pleased with Schuschnigg's interpretation of the agreement. Italian Fascists felt the interpretation meant Aus trian independence and Austrian German peace.
 Austrian patriots paraded through city and country streets and roads with songs and laughter in joyous acclaim after Schuschnigg' speech. However, Austrian Nazis were an- gered, and there were scattered de- monstrations.
 Great Britain shared Italy's pleas ure for Italian support of Austrian independence may give Great Bri- tain the leverage she needs to block further ferment and Nazi domina- .tion in Central Europe.
 LOndOn's Views
 London diplomatic sources point ed favorably to Schuschnigg's dec- larations of warm praise for Musso- lini as "one who always tried to avoid any impressions of interfer- ence with our internal affairs"
 French Chamber Deputies are making Europe's trouble in Austria and neighboring countries the sub ject of two day debate which may determine whether or not France will follow Great Britain's lead towards realistic appeasement."

WOLF, COYOTE BOUNTY FUND
 NEARLY GONE
Only $8,080 Left of ESQ., 900 Appropriation,
 Olson Reports

Of the $S0,00O appropriated by the last Legislature to pay wolf and coyote bounties, there is $8,080 remaining, or just about enough to last a month, according to an- nouncement from Territorial Treas urer Oscar Olson today. A bounty of $20 is paid for each wolf and coyote pelt.
 There is enough money in the other bounty funds probably to last until the next legislative session in January of 1889 when action on appropriations again will come up, the Treasurer said. Of the $15,000 in the eagle fund, $9,338 remains and of $4O,OO0 in the hair seal fund there remains $21, 1,542. he said.

AMERICAN NOTE

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-Secre- tary of State Cordell Hull said the United States asserted emphatically in it's note to Japan that the rights of Americans and American property in China will be defended.
 The Secretary, in a straight for ward note, declared that Japan will be held responsible for any d mage to Americans and their property in China.
 In the note, the United States refused to accept Japan's warning that Americans leave Central China and to specially mark their prop erty.
 In brief the United States policy is laid down.
 The Secretary urges American citizens to leave the danger zones but upholds their right to remain if they desire and denies the right of Japan to urge them to leave or injure them or their property if they refuse to follow such urging either by the United States or Japan.
