ARMIES READY
TO SPRING TO
ACTION TODAY
Hitler Cautioned by Britain
Against Quick Decisive
Effort
By WEBB MILLER

Copyright 1900, by SHi'So 'eS"
LONDON, Sept. 12.-(UP)-
Europe was ready for the immi-
nent possibility of war today as
the great nations waited, with
guns ready, for Fuehrer Adolf
Hitler's speech at Nuremberg to-
night which may be signal for
poised armies to spring at each
others throats.
With Hitler, an obscure corpo-
raj in the slaughter Of the last
great war, rests a decision that
may decide Europc's fate more
than any other single factor.
None, perhaps not even Hitler
himself, could say early today
what the decision will be but the
British government wishfully be-
lieved that he might make pa
cifc speech to his 100000 mass
ed Nazi stalwarts and thereby de-
lay for a time the inevitable show
down regarding Czechoslovakia.
Europe braced itself for shock,
and fervently prayed that there
would be none.
As Hitler speaks at 7 p. m. q
p. m. EDIT cabinet ministers will
be gathered around prime minis
tiers in Europe's chancellories,
ready to consider ultimatums, mo-
bilizations and communicates if
the Nazi fuehrer proclaims bold
course of action.
Not since 1914 has Europe
faced such a fateful day. And
never in history have the nations
been so militantly prepared to

RIOT
SUDETENS
'PLEBISCITE!'
Knifings, Shootings Wide
spread; Sudeten Nazis
Hail Runciman

PRAGUE, Sept. l2.-(UPl-
Disorders spread across the Sude-
ten districts near the German
frontier last night and early to-
day as the Czech nation braced
itself for the expected shock Of
Fuehrer Adolf Hitler's speech at
Nuremberg tonight.
Knifings, shootings and riots
were reported.
The Czechs, for the most part,
believed that Hitler'S words would
decide the fate of their postwar
republic.
The Czechs were tense with
grave apprehension while the
Sudetens were keyed up with an
excitement that burst upon Wis
count Runciman, British neutral
mediator, when several thousand
Sudetens greeted him yesterday
at Patrohrad castle near PilSen
where he spent the weekend.
The Nazi Sudetens greeter him
with cries of "our liberator' and
"plebiscite"
TENSION GROWS TO
VIOLENCE ALONG BORDER
Close to the German border,
however, the tension found more
violent forms of expression.
At Eyer where the killing Of
two Sudeten farmers last May Il
brought war perilously close IS
persons were injured in free
for-all between Sudetens and
Czechs.
The Czech population Of Eyer
was holding a mass meeting when
a group of Sudetens called out
Speak in German, even our pres
ident speaks German. Rioting
followed and police drove into the
melee with rubber truncheons
swinging to restore order. Five
injured were sent to hospitals.
Two Sudetens were stabbed in
restaurant fight with a group
Of communists at Troppau, hot
bed of minority unrest. One of
the injured was in critical condi-
ton early today with nine knife
wounds.
CZECH POLICE DRIVEN
FROM ONE TOWN
Czechs reported that at Triben-
dorf a crowd of $50 Sudetens
drove the Czech police out of
town.
The Sudetens said the police
insulted them.
At Neudek, 10000 marching
Sudetens sang the forbidden Nazi
"Horst Vessel marching song
and shouted, Zone people, one
Reich, one Fuehrer" during a
harvest festival. .
Two revolver shots were fired
at Konstantinbad, near Marien-
bad, during another harvest fes-
tival where Czechs and Sudetens
became embroiled in an argu-
ment.
Other incidents were reported
from border towns.
In Prague, Czech people spoke
of yesterday as being "the last
Sunday :" and then paused.
When asked: "The last Sunday
before what" they replied, "the
last Sunday like this"

GREATEST NAVAL BASE IN W ORLD IS INAUCURATED

SINGAPORE, Feb. IA. With American officers as the only un- official observers, England inaug- urated the most powerful naval base in the world, thus strengthen ing her naval strategy in the war torn Orient.
 Officers of three American war ships, Trenton, Memphis and Mil waukee, under command of Rear Admiral Julius c. Townsend, were the only foreign guests and this fact, according to authoritative cir cles is considered significant as to the intense precautions taken to prevent espionage at the inaugural ceremonies for the $150,000,000 Gib- raltar of the East.
 It took Is years to build this naval base which controls the Brit ish Empires vital link between the east and west.
 The naval base is heavily forti- fled with 18-inch guns which com mand a range of a sweeping circle of 50 miles.

Open Conflict Feared ,pith
 Japan Oper Fishing Rights
 For Salmon On AIdska Coast

WASHINGTON, Feb. 14-United States Senator Lewis B. Schwel- lenbach, Democrat of the State Of Washington, contends that open conflict might result from the fail ure of the United States to settle the current dispute with Japan over fishery rights and continued opera ton of Japanese floating canneries n the traditionally American sol mon fisheries off the Coast of Alas ka
 The Senator said this practice might result in the destruction by our fishermen of the vessel from which our fishery resource is de- 
 Paramount Problem
 ''The problem of averting this possibility is of paramount import ance to the Federal Government" !" said Senator Schwellenbach. T doubt if legislation of the character now pending, which I do not op- pose, will prove ineffective to Jap anese fishing methods beyond the three mile limit, and ultimately will deplete the fisheries and ruin the industry our taxpayers have spent money for to conserve the salmon. Our fishermen, each year, have sac- rifioed immediate profits in order to conserve the salmon We should not be more willing to submit to the destruction of the salmon than we would be willing to submit to for eign destruction of any other of our property"
 Senator Schwellebach said the salmon belong to the United States because they are spawned and die in American waters. He contends that more than $40O,000 are spent yearly for conservation work of fisheries.

Major international differences in Europe and the Orient appeared to- day to be moving to a s te of nearer settlement" bloodlessly on one hand, but bloody on the other hand, in one of the worlds greatest battles.
 The nearer settlement" of Eu- ropean affairs resulted partially when Chancellors discussed pros poets of general European appease- ment in which Italy may gain Brit ish recognition as the result of the Ethiopian conquest; Germany may regain the colonies lost in the world war; and the German-Austrian ten- sion may be lessened.
 The agreement looking toward satisfaction of Germany's long shouted demands for sources of raw materials under her own flag, is suggested as the big surprise to come in Reichstag speech next Sunday.
 As the result of the Chancellors of Germany and Austrias dramatic meeting last Saturday the German Austrian tension has been relaxed and there is a more hopeful ap- proach to peace in Europe
 Great Britain and France on one hand, and Italy and Germany or the other hand, seemed almost in accord on European situations.
