15pc. Pay Cut

CHICAGO, April 20 Q.N.S)
Despite an ultimatum from union
trainmen that they would not &C.
cept pay cuts. heads Of 142 major
railroads meeting here today
adopted a resolution calling for a
Is per cent pay slash for all classes
of railroad labor.
The pay cut, under the resolu-
ton, would be effective July /.
It was estimated that the re-
duction of wages would mean a
saving of $25O,OOO, 900 annually in
operating costs for the railroads.
Railroads represented at today's
meeting were members of the
American Association of Rails, and
it was believed the resolution
would make it mandatory on as
ISOLATION members to put the pay
cut into effect on the designated
date.
The resolution was adopted in
the face of a virtual ultimatum
served by the Railroad Brother
hoods in Washington recently
that wage cuts or similar proposals
would not be tolerated.

The city fathers adopted recon-
mendations of Traffic Director
william A. Van Duzer, which list
ed 40 streets throughout the city,
where new anti-parking reStric-
tons are to be enforced, and es-
tablished six new one-way streets.
Earlier in the week, the Com
missioners made further inroads
on the available public parking
spaces by ordering into effect an
amendment to the traffic code,
which bans parking at all inter
sections throughout the city from
20 to so feet behind the building
line. President regulations pro-
vide a 25-foot ban on parking
from the intersections.
In the list of parking restricted
street adopted today, Van Duzer
pointed out TO the Commissioners
that some already were equipped
with official signs, but the regula.
ton was necessary at all the streets
to make the ban binding.

Shocked Spurns
Wedding to Girl Mother
Paternity Question Isl
Raised by Him
In Refusal

Arthur Addelsberger, 21-year.old
Fort Myer cavalryman today re-
fused to marry 18-year-old Reta
Lowell, who claims he is the
father of the 7-week-old baby boy
she abandoned in North Carolina
several days ago.
In a fearful scene at head
quarters in Fort Myer, the young
soldier declared he was not ready
to marry the girl "at this time"
"SHOCK TO ME"
II want to think this over"
he said slowly. Il want to be
certain first that 1 am the
father of the baby.
This whole thing is a great
shock and surprise to me. I had
not seen Reta for more than
seven months. I didn't know
anything about her having a
baby"
Reta, who was located yesterday
by The Washington Times while
the Department of Justice and po-
lice Of eight States were searching
for her, was taken to Fort Myer
by Times reporters this morning.
AddelSberger, who had been con-
fined to the guardhouSe since word
that the girl was missing was
broadcast by police, was brought
to the office of Col. Jonathan M.
Wainwright, commandment Of the
post, by an armed guard.
FREED FROM GUARDHOUSE
r. After the interview with the girl,
the soldier was released from the
guardhouse, where he had been
held for two days, and was re-
turned to the post hospital for
treatment of injuries suffered
April 10, when he was kicked on
the knee by horse.
Meanwhile, A. w. Cline, county
welfare supervisor at Winston
Salem, N. c., where the baby is
being held, said that Miss Lowell'S
foster-mother, Mrs. Rose Senfner
of New York, wants to take the
child.
The baby will be held in North
Carolina, however, he said, until
all legal matters are Strengthened
out.
The girl and the soldier con-
ferred together in Colonel Vain
wright's private office. For more
than half an hour they discussed
the tangled web of their affairs.
But they were unable to reach
any decision.
The soldier, who only joined the
Army last September, admitted
freely that he had been intimate
with the girl. But he stubbornIy
refused to admit that he was the
father of the child.
SMILES AT RETA
IT don't know what the score
is" he protested. And I'm not
going to do anything until I am
certain"
Slender and small, Addelsberger
smiled when he entered the office
and saw the girl-mother sitting
there.
She looked up at him and
smiled, though her eyes were filled
with tears.
Can I talk to him alone?"
she asked in low voice.
Army officers agreed to do any
thing possible for the girl. While
military law requires that an en-
listed man obtain permission from
his commanding officer before he
can marry, Colonel Wainwright
said that in event Addelsberger

SET UP BORDER
BAR TO REICH
'Must Not Pass
New Frontier
BY KINGSBURY SMITH
Copyright, 1898. by International
News Service,)

LONDON, April 20 0.N.S0
new western frontier, beyond
which Germany will be forbidden
to trespass, was created today by
France and Great Britain stimuli
taneously with adoption of a pro-
gram to check Nazi expansion in
Europe.
Already bound by a new defen-
sive military alliance, most formi-
dable ever drafted by the two
democratic powers, Britain and
France laid down the new dead
line, extending from the border
of France through those of Bel.
GUM and the Netherlands. The
line is later to be extended to in,
clude Switzerland, creating an I'm.
crossable wall along Germany's
entire western frontier.
MILITARY PLANS SET
In the joint interests of mutual
defense and European appease
ment, Prime Minister Chamberlain
Of Britain and Premier Daladie1
of France agreed upon the new
set-up in the second day of thei1
discussions. The conversations
ended at 5 p. m.
They pledged that should Ger
many invade Holland, as well as
Belgium, this will be regarded as
a hostile act against Britain ano
France themselves, necessitating
immediate dispatch of British
forces to France as a precaution
airy measure.
In such an eventuality, Britain
would Immediately send a fleet OF
bombers across the channel, fol
lowed by 10 battalions of troops
totalling 10000 men.
The new agreement is expected
to act as a strong brake on any
attempted German aggression.
German military strategy is said
to call for a march through Hol-
land-a nation whose neutrality
was respected in the last warm
event of any new conflict.
