VIENNA, Feb. 12.-Chancellors Adolf
Hitler of Germany and Kurt Won
Schuschnigg Of Austria, in a sudden
meeting today, carne to a peaceful
understanding after months of nery-
Gus suspicion and apprehension.
Reliable Austrian sources said the
following decisions were taken in the
chancelld.s' lengthy conference at
Berchtesgaden, Hitler,s Bavarian re-
treat near the Austrian German
border:
l. Nazis in Austria would end their
campaign Of sabotage which has irri-
tated or terrorized Austria almost
without interruption since 1893.
2. Hitler promised he would reaf-
nrm in his speech before the Reich
stag February 20 that he respects
Austrian independence.
3. Flushed with the success of their
nrst meeting in years. they decided
also to continue negotiations, par
ticularly in the economic field, to
cement better relations
Invitation From Hitler.
A communique pointedly declared
the conference was held at Hitlers
invitation, though earlier it was re-
ported that 1t was Premier Benito
Mussolini's urging which brought the
two chancellors together.
Circles close to the government in
summarizing the situation which led
to the meeting declared that for the
first time in months Schuschnigg held
the upper hand.
They said this was true because
Hitler required some international
peace gesture to soften the setback

Rites Friday
For Victim
Of Drowning
COTTONWOOD YOUTH,
Is, TO BE BURIED AT
MIDDLE CREEK

Classmates of Gene Schmidt,
16-year-old Cottonwood youth
who lost his life in the treacher-
GUS. waters of the Minnesota riv-
er west of North Redwood Mem
orial day, will take part in fun
eral services at the Cottonwood
school auditorium at 10 a. m. Fri
day.
Rites will also be held at the
Middle Creek Evangelical church
at 2 p. m. that day and burial
will be at the Middle Creek
cemetery.
With his twin brother Dean and
their cousin, five-year-old Jerry
Gillette of st. Paul, the boy was
padding down the river in a
small duck boat. 1t overturned
at slight bend in the stream
just north of the farm of his
uncle, Gene Schmidt.
Gene attempted valiantly to
save the younger child and was
holding him up when Walter
Schmidt, an uncle, rushed into
the water fully clothed and took
Jerry from his arms.
Then the strong undertow evid-
emily pulled the boy under,
and he disappeared. He was a
fair swimmer.
About two hours later members
of the Redwood Falls fire depart
ment recovered the high school
sophomore's body approximately
80 feet down-river from where
the tragedy occurred.
He and his brother Dean were
the only children of Mr.. and Mrs.
w. G. Schmidt. The father has a
chicken ranch near Cottonwood,
the family having moved there
from Echo about three years
years ago.
The boys had gone to visit their
grandmother and other relatives,
having put the boat off a car at
the Delhi bridge and padded ali
the way down. Standing on the
shore of the eddying waterway
running through a beautiful set
ting of greenery when the boat
tipped were Walter Schmidt who
rushed to the rescue, Eunice
Steinkamp and Jean Gillette.
Orwell Beatty who dived at the
place in an effort to recover the
body said the undercurrent was
extremely strong.

Remember Parents,
O'Sullivan Tells.
Redwood Seniors

With the admonishment to the
members of the class of 1888 not
to forget their parents who toiled
and sacrificed for them, their
God, their church, their school
and their country, Rev. Godfrey
O'Sullivan closed his baccalaur-
cate address Sunday evening in
the high school auditorium. In his
talk he reminded the seniors that
they were facing cruel, but US
ually just world and would get
from it just what they put into
it.
"In this age of experimental
tion," Rev. O'Sullivan said,
when everything in the air, on
land and sea is being tested over
crucible fires, there is a necessity
for something to protect us from
doubts and uncertainties. The God
of War dominates two-thirds of
the world, absorbing ancient
faiths and we need to discard ar
tificiality, sham and deceit and
approach the throne of the real
God with humility of worship.
Without it there can be no sue
cess"
The service began with the in
vocation by Rev. Clyde Lindsey,
the mixed chorus sang Come
Thou Almighty King" the adj
dress was followed by assembly
singing of Holy Holy Holy" led
by the chorus and Rev. w. A.
Dalton gave the benediction.
Also seated on the stage with
the graduating class were Rev. G..
E. Martin of the Methodist
church, Rev. c. c. Swalwell of the
Church of the Nazarene and Cap
tain Tom Moss, Episcopal rector.

Condemn War
Boost Peace,
Audience Told
MEMORIAL SERVICES
WELL ATTENDED; REV.
DALTON SPEAKS

Rev. w. A. Dalton, new pastor
of the Presbyterian church, was
the main speaker at the Memorial
exercises Monday morning in the
armory when the audience great
ly exceeded in size groups at
tending similar programs in past
years.
To emphasize the salient feat
ureS of his talk, Rev. Dalton re-
called a term used by United
States engineers sent to the Pan
anna Canal zone to investigate the
cause of destructive landslideS.
Their report said there would be
no more slides because the land
had reached the ''angle of re-
pose"
That angle was reached after
the Revolutionary war when the
country was definitely closed to
foreign invasion and again after
the Civil war which decided there
would be no more conflicts be-
tween states. There remain now
two places where the angle of re-
pose has not been reached, he
said. Until the right kind of ad-
juStment has been made between
labor and capital in our own
country, until the guerrilla war
fare which results in strikes and
other outbreaks ceases, there can
be no angle of repose in the in
dustrial world.
The balance of power as in 1912
has become the leading force be-
tween the nations of the world
and internationally there can be
no angle of repoSe until the coun-
tries become not a menagerle but
a family of nations. Contrary to
the commonly expressed thought
that we have always had and al
ways will have war, state OF
brotherhood and peace can be at
tanned.
I'VE must believe that it can
be done; we must condemn war
as a barbaric custom never SolV-
ing any problem and we must be
not Wishers, hopers and longers
for peace, but peacemakers talk
ing it, working for it and believ-
ing in it." he concluded.
Observance of the day began
with the parade from the school
to the lake where impressive
ceremonies honoring the heroes of
the sea were conducted, a contin-
uation of the march to the armory
and included the final program at
the cemetery.
Seated on the stage at the arm
DRY was A. A. Wilson, 81 year old
veteran of the Civil war and c.
H. Whiting, Henry Wilkinson ans.
c. j. Farlee, of the Spanish
American conflict. F. B. Forbes,
commander of the American Le-
gion, presided, the invocation was
given by Rev. O'Sullivan, the
band played patriotic selections,
Mayo Fischer sounded the ad-
vance to the colors, Sidney Alex
ander and Jean Lauterbach re-
cited the Gettysburg address and
In Flanders Field the triple
trio sang The Old Brigade" and
Rev. Dalton gave the benediction.
Mrs. Phoebe Fuller and Mrs.
John SteWig conducted the GAR
and WRC ceremonials at the GEM
etery and DR.. J. c. Budik was in
charge of the Legion service
which preceded the decoration of
the white crosses representing the
graves of World War veterans.

To Give Authority

washington Up - Secretary
Morganthau said today congress
should give President Roosevelt
virtually unlimited authority to
determine how funds should be
spent in the new relief-public
works program.
According to the proposal, the
president would have authority to
use funds assigned to the WPA for
instance, for some other purpose
such as direct relief.
It was disclosed meanwhile
that the president and his advis-
ors were considering spending
several hundred million dollars
of relief funds to increase domes-
tic consumption of surplus farm
products. The purpose would be
to strengthen farm prices and
supply food to needy families.
