WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-From a liquor standpoint this country is turning into legislative Balkans.
 State arrays itself against state, enacting first one law and then an- other to shut out competitive liquor Already it isl down to point where various states seem to be in need of reciprocal trade treaties.
 It all started with the 21st amend ment to the Constitution which provides, as a protection to the dry states, that no liquor could be im- ported into a state in violation of it's laws. That sounded just fine to all concerned until California (these native sons are enterprising) enact ed a law imposing a $500 tax on wholesalers bringing beer into the state from other states.
 In effect it was simply a tariff to protect California beer brewers. Evidently nobody had thought of

May oh,e, Former Stage Star, Gunner of Hope Diamond; Once Janitress n Seattle, Is Dead

BOSTON, Mass, Aug. 29. = May Yohe, once a famous actress and one-time possessor of the ill-starred Hope diamond, died here after an illness of less than one day. Heart trouble caused her sudden demise.
 Conspicuous in the life of the gay nineties" and still a maker of sensations in the early years of the 20th century, May Yohos vitality, rich contralto voice and careless dis regard of convention drew the at ;ntion of four continents.
 Born April 6, 1869, in an humble family of Bethlehem, Pa, she rose to outstanding popularity on the stage in Chicago, New York and London and became the bride, Mo- vember 27, 1894, of Lord Francis Hope heir to the dukedom of New castle and possessor of the famous Hope diamond, a great blue gem with a sinister reputat tion for bring ing misfortune to it's wearer.

 There were many references to this legend when the Pennsylvania girl, then an acquaintance of Ed ward, Prince of Wales, before he became King of England. cast aside social position and a future as a duchess for the love of young American. She eloped in 1901 from New York with Captain Bradlee Putnam Strong, son of former mayor of New York.
 The couple went to Japan and, after Lord Hope won a divorce in London in 1902, she married Strong. But their romance was short-lived. There were years of separation and finally divorce decree given at Portland, Ore, in 1910
 Weeds Boer General
 In 1914, when the possibility of a reconciliation of May Yoho and Lord Hope was being discussed in London, the second Lady Hope hav- ing died, May Yoho married Cap- tain John Shuts, relative of the noted Boer general and himself a veteran of the Boer war, who later served Great Britain in the World War.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29 Dis- closure is made here that the Army high command intends to ask Presi- dent Roosevelt's active support for an appropriation by the next Con- gress to start work on an Alaska air base. This followed the return of Assistant Secretary of War Louis Johnson from an aerial survey trip to Alaska during which he inspect ed possible air base sites and alter nate routes for the 2,200-mile all- weather Seattle Alaska road across British Columbia
 Col. Johnson was noncommittal on what he found out, merely say- ing he would report to the Presi- dent also on projects by the Navy along the shortest route between America and the Orient. He further revealed that discussion of possible Army site centers around Fair banks, but officials are known to be interested in several alternate sites, such as Juneau or Point Gus tavus.
 Col. Johnson said Fairbanks was considered preferable for training because of comparative fog absence but there is difficulty in penetrat- ing fog around enclosing mountain passes which tends to isolate Fair banks from the sea

 "One of these candidates thinks in terms of fact and governs his actions accordingly" the President said. "The other thinks in terms of 38, AS and 58."
 Senator Smith, who is complet- replied that he had supported more than 80 percent of the Presidents program and would continue to back his policies except when to do so would be in direct conflict with what consider the best interests of South Carolina"

WARNING GIVEN GERMANY WITH
 ARMED THRUST
Second Pointed Statement Is Expected to Be
 Sent Nazi Land
RESENTFUL ACTION
 IS FULLY EXPECTED
Cabinet of Great Britain Is Summoned for Special
 Meeting Thursday

BULLETIN-STRASSBOURG,
 Aug. 29.-A surprise visit by
 Adolf Hitler on the French
 German border at the moment
 when fresh French troops were
 about to begin maneuvers and
 Germans were working on for,
 tificatiOns, brought tense in-
 ternational situation today.
 Hitler suddenly appeared to-
 night at Kehl just across the Rhine frontier from here. He was accompanied by his Staff of Generals, taking the inhabi- tants of his own side of the frontier so much by surprise that they failed to have out the usual welcoming flags.
 Hitler made a rapid inspec- tion of Qualifications near the German end of the KehI Inter- atiOnal Bridge. Some reports said Hitler was on his way to inspect other frontier forts.
 (By Associated Press)
 Great Britain's Ambassador te Germany today personally laid be- fore the heads of his government in London his views on Germany reaction to the British week k-end warning that Berlin take no step that might drag Europe into war. That reaction will be resentful is expected and London's next move will be watched.
 The warning was continued in a speech made by Sir John Simon over the weekend.
 Military Aid
 Sir Neville Henerson is convinced that Hitler is preparing to. give military aid to the autonomy de- mand of the German Sudetens in Czechoslovakia.
 The British Cabinet is meeting tomorrow and it is unofficially said that the Cabinet will authorize a still more vigorous warning to Ger many. In some quarters it is ex- pressed that the Cabinet will make it plain that Great Britain will fight in the event of war in Central Europe.
 Complications
 Complicating the situation are maneuvers of three great powers most closely involved, Ger many, Great Britain and France. Germany is virtually on a war footing with 100000 men under arms in gigantic maneuvers.
 France has moved her forces to the German and Italian borders and Great Britain has called navy vessels to North Sea station for routine exercises and the home army has been ordered into war games in half dozen sectors.
