 Even after she had done every thing she could. and had crept into her own dark corner for the night, Rebecca found she could not forget the couple in the stable. Mary, the man had called his wife There was such radiance about her. T won der what makes her so different" Rebecca thought And she opened her eyes.
 In amazement she saw light in the courtyard, so much that it seemed the dawn must have come. But the light came from a star that shone just about the stable. Out into the yard the girl crept, and sudden ly she heard a child's cry. cooing. happy sound.
 Rebecca looked about No one was stirring Far off. on the hill side she saw what looked like group of men, shadowy, indistinct, seemingly moving toward BethIe- hem. It must be her imagination. Possibly it was Ephraim's vineyard she saw. Soon she stood in the stable doorway.
 There, lighted by lantern, was Joseph, bending over the young woman and holding in his arms tiny baby-her firstborn. At Rebec- ca's exclamation he turned, and in- to her outstretched arms he handed the little figure and showed her the snowy lengths of swaddling cloth. Tenderly the maid clothed the in- fant and laid it beside the mother.

.Geodrey L Mander, opposition lib

matums always denied officially un-
til occupation OF territory has taken
place?"
The question of Rumania export
ing oil to Britain lover the next
few years" would be discussed by q
British commercial mission which is
going to Bucharest shortly, it was
said.
No COnscription.
HOare indicated the government
had decided against conscription to
match Germany's growing military
might.
A questioner asked If such a step
would be taken in view of the at
titude of Germany in Southeastern
Europe, which menaces the ultimate
security of this country =" ."
Il am not satisfied that in the
present circumstances the establish
ment of national register would
add anything substantial to the
steps already taken," he said.
In reply to Philip j. Noel Baker,
Laborite, the home secretary said
he had no information regarding
statements that 10000 Czechs were
now in concentration camps"
No Change In Legation.
Richard Austen Butler, undersec-
retary for foreign affairs, announced
1T has been decided that Czecho-
Slovak diplomatic representation in
London shall remain unchanged for
the present"
The cabinet met earlier to consider
what commitments Britain must
undertake to check German expan-
sion by quick formation of a bloc
against aggression.
Despite the fact that Britain was
one of the signatories of the Memel
Convention of 1924 by which Lithu-
anian sovereignty over Memel was
recognized, there was no indication
that any action was planned here
specifically to combat the return of
the territory to the Reich.
1t long has been recognized in
Britain that eventually Germany
would regain the Memel region, de-
tached from her by the treaty OF
Versailles.
Replies Made to Proposals.
Prime Minister Chamberlain and
his ministers had before them tenta-
tive replies from the British domin-
ions and several European govern
ments to a British proposal for an
anti-aggression declaration intended
as a weapon to check the imperial
march of Adolf Hitler.
The replies generally called for
positive proof from Britain that she
was prepared to give more than
moral support to any move against
German expansion. The cabinet
thus apparently faced the problem
OF deciding what specific pledges Of
aid she could give the, States she
has asked to sign the declaration
with her.
The cabinet, forced precipitately
last week to desert Mr.. Chamberlain
appeasement policy when Reichs-
fuehrer Hitler's legions occupied Bo-
hemia and Moravia, faced increasing
opposition attacks on Mr.. Chamber
lain for not collaborating quickly
with Soviet Russia and Poland on
definite military commitments.
Britain has asked France, Russia
and Poland to initial the anti-ag-
greSSion declaration to be ioined
later by Rumania, Turkey, Greece,
Yugoslavia, Bulgaria and other ma
tions If possible.

Italians Are Ready
For Reconciliation,
France Is Informed
II Duee's Friend Confers
With Paris Minister;
On Secret Mission
~ the Associated Press.

~ the Associatsd Press.
PARIS. March PA personal re-
port that the time vas ripe for
French-1talian reconciliation was
delivered to the French government
today, an authoritative source said,
by = close friend Of Premier Mus
solini.
|. The friend, Hubert Lagardelle, an
influential French resident Of Rome,
conferred with Public Works Min
lister Anatole de Monzie Immediately
after coming to Paris on q mission
he sought to keep secret.
Given Private Information.
The visitor, . writer who knew II
Duce when both were Socialists,
gave the minister private informa-
ton on the italian situation and,
friends said, reviewed Mussolini's
position and italian public opinion.
Lagardelle was said to have urged
early overtures by Paris for nego-
tiations with Rome.
Friends of Lagardelle indicated he
might carry proposals for settlement
OF the French-1talian quarrel back
TO Mussolini. Attaches of both the
French foreign ministry and the
Italian Embassy here said they
knew nothing of Lagardelle's activi-
ties. He has no oflcial or diplo-
matte status.
The return Of Italy's Ambassador
from Berlin to Rome for consulta-
tions on Germany's bloodless con-
quests had stimulated French hopes
that Italy could be drawn out of
the Rome Berlin axis.
Report From Rome Envoy.
The French Ambassador to Rome,
Andre Francois-Poncet, was re-
ported to have communicated to
Paris a belief that Italy would agree
to negotiations with France If early
overtures were made.
Paul Baudouin. president of the
French Bank of Indo-C China and
friend of Georges Bonnet and Count
Galeazzo Ciano. French and Italian
foreign ministers. went to Rome in
February. He was reported attempt
ing to arrange a French Italian ac-
cord. but nothing has developed.
With an undiSclosed number of
reservists called under Premier Da-
LADDERS new dictatorial powers to
man the Maginot line facing Ger
many, the premier was reported to
oe considering second series of de-
crees to bolster Frances defenses.
The new laws were expected to in
crease the number of persons af-
fected by Frances remilitarization
plan.
Financial DEGREES Likely.
Political sources said the second
group OF DEGREES likely would be
financial and would fall most neav-
lily on capital and middle-class pro-
prietors.
The only protest against the de-
cree laws already issued came from
labor leaders, and that was limited
in scope.
Leon Jouhaux, head of the Gen.
eral Confederation of Labor, told
workers there was no question of
their agreeing to work the extra
hours for national Defense but he
added: Sacrifices must be imposed
on every one"
Naval as well as army reservists
were called up by yesterdays order.
Through the night they trooped into
Paris railway stations, kissed their
wives and sweethearts good-by and
entrained for their posts. An addi-
tional number Of reservists received
orders to leave today.
