BERLIN NAH HEADQUARTERS
ARE ANGERED BY DEFIANT
TONE OF SCHUSCHNICG TALK
Reaction to Vienna Ad-
dress Thursday Shows
Extreme Displeasure

BERLIN, Feb. 25. (UP)-Nazi
quarters were angered last night
bp the "almost defiant" tone of
Chancellor Schuschnigg's speech
before the Austrian Federal Diet
in Vienna in which he announced
Nazi elements will remain out
lawed.
German Nazi leaders openly ex-
pressed resentment at the Aus
trian chanccllor's announcements.
Chancellor Schuschnigg's asser-
ton that Austria will fight 20 the
death" to maintain her full indie
pendence were described here as
being Intellectual insofar as pre-
venting any development toward
Notification" in Austrian internal
affairs.
"There is no reason for excite
ment because the speech probably
will not change the situation" one
Nazi said.
Schuschnigg's speech was broad
cast over German radio stations
and, because German is the moth
er tongue of Austria, many of the
100000 people of the Third
Reich heard him proclaim that
Fuehrer Adolf Hitler has promised
to prevent attempts to Marty"
Austria.
The Nazis contended, however,
that their inroads in Austria will
continue regardless Of what Chan
cellor Sehpschnigg said OF how he
said it.
Some quarters expressed resent
ment that Schuschnigg gave a
long recital of Austria's economic
progress in much the same man.
ner as Der Fuehrer explained Ger
many's economic gains under his
fve-year reign.
Comment on the Vienna speech
was expected to be scanty in Ber-
Inns Friday morning newspapers
because Hitler, celebrating the
Nazi party anniversary at Munich
wit hold comrades of his Beer
Halp' putsch, had no opportunity
to hear or read Schuschnigg's
speech.

PERSHINC IS
NEAR DEATH
BUT RALLIES
Responds to Stimulants,
Sleeps; Slightly Better
Early This Morning
He JESTS TODAY WITH
LONGTIME CHAUFFEUR

TUCSON, Ariz., Feb. 25. (UP)
General John J. Pershing, who is
near death from a heart ailment,
appeared to rally slightly this
morning after being given stimu-
lantS.
Friends said that the 77-year-
old commander of the United
States World war armies was
sleeping and slightly better after
) a. m. today.
General Pershing last night had
lapscd into coma, his attending
physicians had announced.
At HIS p. m. (EST) his per-
sonal physician, DR.. GLAND Davl-
son, came out of the sick room
and announced that Pershing was
sinking.
"He is now unconscious" Da-
vison explained briefly and then
returned to the bedside of the
stricken general.
The sinking spell started three
hours earlier, it was revealed.
This morning his chauffeur and
aide for the last 10 years, Ser
geant C. C. Schaeffer, came into
the sick room in a cottage on the
fringe of the desert. Sergeant
Schaeffer leaned over the bed.
General, do you know who this
is" the sergeant asked.
General Pershing looked up,
smiled and replied:
~ don't know what you call
yourself now, but you used to be
Sergeant Schaeffer."
General Pershing's heart all
ment was induced, his physicians
said, by strenuous activity in re-
cent years in connection with his
work with the battle monuments
commission.
DR.. Roland Dawson reported at
7:3O a. M, MIST. that General
Pershing's condition was unchang-
ed since the early morning hours.
The patients blood pressure was
normal, DR.. Dawson said.
Grouped at Pershing's bedside,
were his son, sister an dnephew,
who were his only near relatives,
and a few old family friends and
attendants.
They awaited the end which
doctors expected momentarily.
The sister, Miss May Pershing,
paced the floor weeping incon-
solably and the doctors gave her
a sedative to quiet her frief.
At 2 a. M, DR., Roland OaVi-
son said that the general had raj
lied slightly from the deep coma
in which he lay for five hours,
and that che appears to be re-
spending to the stimulant they
are giving him.

HITLER WARNS

Lost Colonies Stand Reiter.
ated; No Mention Of
Austrian independence

MUNICH, Feb. 25. (UP)-
Fuehrer Adolf Hitler, speaking to
veterans of his abortivc Beer Gel
lar" putsch here Is years ago. an
nounced yesterday that Germany
is about to take stem measures
against the "Jewish provocateurs"
stirring up hatreds. ..
Hitler, in his speech, made no
reference to the Vienna speech. a
few hours before, of Chancellor
Kurt Schuschnigg of Austria an
nouncing that Der Fuehrer was
sworn to uphold Austrian indepen-
dence. and territorial integrity.
His subsequent remarks indicat-
ed that he placed a section of the
foreign press, described by him as
international poisoners," in the
category of "Jewish provoca-
tours"
Per Faekser, speaking before
the cold Guard Of the Nazis on
the 18th anniversary Of the adop-
ton of the Nazi party platform,
said:
1--WE shall soon proceed ener-
getically against Jewish provoca-
tours in Germany. We know they
are representatives of an interna-
tionale and we shall deal with
them accordingly.
"They can do nothing but lie,
SANDER and incite hatred. We
know they would not fight in any
war, but would only profit by
war"
Hitler, leading the celebration
of the anniversary of a party plat
form that is now the political creed
of the Third Reich, also declared
that Germany demands "uncondi-
tional equality" with other powers
and the restoration of her war-lost
colonies.
He dashed out again at "poison-
ers" of the foreign press, repeat
ing the attacks which he made in
his Reichstag speech last Sunday.
