Germany Indicates No Further Basis For Negotiations

UNDATED, May 5 (A') Brit ain, it is reliably reported agreed to form a military alliance with the Russian and French govern ments, as authoritative sources in Berlin indicated that Foreign Min .Ster Beck's stand on the Danzig ;ssue left no further basis for negotiations. These developments followed swiftly Beck's speech to Parliament, rejecting the Ger man demands in the Danzig Pol ish corridor.
 Britain'S reported d e c S o n came after their foreign affairs committee and cabinet approved what was called "an extremely conciliatory' note to Moscow.
 After Beck spoke, German For eign Minister Von Ribbentrop dis cussed the Polish stand with Hit Ter at the latter's Bavarian re- treat. The authoritative comment ary 'Diesant Aus Deutschland" observed in Berlin that Poland has apparently run into a blind alley from which there is no es- cape, but there is no reason for Germany to renounce the neces- sity of solution in the Danzig question"
 Russia's supreme Soviet and her Congress were summoned to meet on May 18th.
 The Italian government an- nounced an increase of $85,000,- GOO for the army air force esti- mate for the year beginning July 1, and announced that Italy, in the event of a conflict wanted to fight "a quick war with a cer- tainty of victory"

Germany Declares Poland Has Run Up Blind Alley
Beck Rejects
 Hitler's Demands on Polish Corridor

WARSAW, May 5 (4') - Po- lands Colonel Joseph Beck re- piled 10 Germany with a firm re- jection of Hitler's demands for Danzig and wide German right of way through the Polish cor ridor, but left the door open for further peaceful conversations"
 Speaking before the Polish par Eament, he was interrupted con- stantly by thunderous applause. The Foreign Minister declared that the Polish corridor rights in the free city of Danzig belonged 10 Napoleon's Poland and they would not give them up.
 He called Germany's claims, one-sided demands in which the element of reciprocity was lack ing. Poland is willing to nego- Hate he declared, only on a basis of peaceful intentions and peace tul methods of action,' and only as regards matters not directly affecting the Polish sovereignty over the corridor and her rights m Danzig.
 Among the diplomats applaud nng Beck's address was U. s. Am aoaSsador Antir5ny Drexel Riddle.

Europe Awaited Outcome Reck's Answer to Hitler

UNDATED, May 4 (P) Pre- mier Chamberlain urged the House of Commons to enact mil itary training bill which would give Britain's army about 800,- 900 men in the next three years.
 As Europe's anxious attention shifted to the east, the questions most asked were:
 What change in Russia's for eign policy might be followed by the sudden resignation of Maxim LitVinoff, and
 What stand Poland's Foreign Minister Col. Joseph Beck might take tomorrow in answering Hit Ter on the Danzig problem.
 In Berlin, a diplomat with inti mate knowledge of the German situation expressed the convic- tion that if Beck leaves the door open for negotiation, the specter of war in Europe once more will be banished, but if he slams it, Hitler might take almost immed- fate action against the Danzig- Polish corridor.
 Diplomatic quarters in Rome expressed the belief that Musso- lini IS exerting his influence in Warsaw and Berlin to settle their differences peaceaIbly.

Hitler Hints Nazis
May Rest for Time
DEMOCRATIC POWERS
PUSH DRIVE TO
stop HITLER"

BY the (P)-Adolph Hitler hint
ed today that Germany might be
through with swift absorption of
European territory but other
powers still CROPPED for a united
''halt Hitler" front.
Landing from a battleship in
Mcneil, his first Nazi won seaport,
the Fuehrer told cheering Mcneil
ties, 81 believe that now, in the
main, we have arrived at an end
of this unique process of repara-
ton"
He meant the reoccupation by
Germany of the territories taken
from her after the World War.
Meanwhile, however, reliable
reports said Hungarian troops
were moving into Slovakia and
diplomatic quarters in Budapest
heard the occupation was on
German invitation. The report
supported belief that Hitler, pro-
tector of Slovakia, was helping
Hungary become powerful enough
to become a valuable ally but
not strong enough to escape the
Nazi domination.
Germany concluded a treaty
with Slovakia by which the state
which coded from dissolved
Czechoslovakia and went under
Germany's protection, retains its
status as an autonomous Sover-
eign state"

ATTENDANCE NOT UP
TO LAST YEAR; MANY
SHARE PRIZES

Attendance at the Redwood
Falls farmers institute Friday was
somewhat disappointing, about
800 persons compared to the $50
who visited the two day school

came heard clear, up-to-the-min-
ute talks on a wide variety of
subjects.

majority received attendance
prizes, the finest and most num-
erous ever offered here and they
were fed twice, at noon and in
the late afternoon.

by Ralph F. Grim of University
Farm at the mornings session.
"We can grow fruit here if we
study the factors involved" Ed
red Hunt, university horticulture
specialist told his audience. 1--WE
should raise enough fruit to sup
ply family needs, both fresh and
canned"
A half-acre of ground, he said,
is all that is needed for family
consumption. Ten apple trees, 10
plum trees and a hundred foot
row of Strawberries and raspber-
rieS should furnish sufficient
produce.
Cultivation around trees for the
first six or seven years, stopped
in August to tougher trees against
the winter, mulching around
trees, pruning and spraying OPP
erationS were outlined.
He recommends planting of the
best stock available and buying
from nurseries in the vicinity of
the farm.
