on the necessity for an immediate four power "stop Hitler" declara- tion, leaving the way open for ad. herence of five other powers if they would join with Britain, France Russia and Poland. Turkey, it was learned, already had pledged its support. Jugo-
 slavia, lying dangerously between NaZi Germany and Fascist Italy held back.
 Poland GraveIy Alarmed Poland, gravely alarmed, wanted a firm military agreement instead of a mere consultative declaration. Poland, however, dominates it az1C it is a part of the Polish customs set-up. It has a heavily pro-Naz parliament.
 The British government was ad- vising Poland that any declaratio to be effective must be issued al once. It was understood that Britain had assured Poland that actual mili- tary commitments would be made eventually, but that they woul re- quire discussions and thus, by de- laying matters, decrease the effect of an immediate anti-aggressior declaration.
 As regards Memel, there was nothing that the British government could do. Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain and Viscount Halifax foreign secretary, had made it plain that they could not oppose the ab- sorption into Germany of areas which were Gefman peopled. Hitler had acted promptly on these declorations and had taken Memel.

HUH | d5C 4f almost complete 'Nazi influence to Hungary, the acquisition of Memel and the forcing of Lithuania closely into the German sphere.
 The Soviet government also want ed a more powerful military instru- ment among nine European nations but it was said that the Moscow regime was likely to accept the British plan because of the need for quick action. In return, Great Britain was believed to have held out the prospect of military ar- engagements in the future.
 Eventual extension of arrange ments for British-French general staff consultations to include Rus sia was believed inevitable.
 May Cause Misgivings Even the temporary omission of Poland, however, would cause mis- givings in British circles because of the question overshadowing every diplomatic discuSsion-where will Hitler move next? The possibility of protectorate over Lithuania, an attempt to regain the Polish corri- dor or support for fascist Italy's bid in the Mediterranean were con- sidered three possibilities.
 The situation in Rumania also was growing steadily more tense with some 300,000 troops mobilized for frontier protection-especially opposite Hungary-and the people almost panicky-in fear of war. AL most every European nation was or or approaching 8 war footing as g result of mobilization of reserves ol specialists in Italy and France anc frontier precautions in virtually all of the small nations. l Virgil Tilea, Rumanian minister had intended to depart for Buchar- est today but he postponed his sour- ney to carry with him as complete a report as possible on the results of the British French conversations now underway here in connection with the state visit of President AL bert Lebrun and Foreign Minister Georges Bonnet of France, to Lon- don.
 Touch Italian Demands
 The conversations were under stood to have covered not 0nly the European situation but touched on the problem of Italian demands for greater power in North Africa. The discussions included not only the possibility of a French settlement with Italy but the measures which would be taken in event of Italian aggression in North Africa, it was understood.
 Diplomatic circles said that count Dino Grandi, Italian ambassador to London, and Marshal Italo Balbc were seeking to moderate Musso- lini's demands-expected to be made Sunday-on France.
 Britain and France were agreed

the city, and people asked when Adolf Hitler would come here to signalize his triumph
 Church bells pealed and sirens of ships in the harbor sfrieked. Loud speakers relayed martial German music. Almost as if by magic, Nazi swastikas, hitherto illegal, appeared on nearly every house. Green boughs and garlands decorated windows and doors. Many people were wait- ing on the outskirts of the city for the expected entry of German troops. Lithuanian guards already had withdrawn from frontier posts opposite East Prussia. Crowds from the German side of the border, in- cluding Koenigsberg, hurried to the frontier and surged across the bridges of Memel river into Memel.
 Lithuanians Evacuate Lithuanian troops were preparing to evacuate the city as the people celebrated. Since last night, troops had been hurriedly loading freight cars with army supplies, ready to ship them into Lithuania. Private traffic at the railroad station was greatly restricted because of mili- tary activities.
 Jews fled into Lithuania interior for the second time within 8 few months. Many of them had fled when the Nazis won big victory in the December elections, and earlier when Germany annexed Czechoslovak Sudetenland.,
 / Last night there was not an auto mobile available for hire-JewS had been paying S15 or more for cars to transport them the IA miles to the Lithuanian frontier.
 Telephone lines between Memel and Kaunas were overburd dened with messages from Memel residents to relatives and friends in Kaunas.
 Most Memel Jews had. sold their businesses during the September Sudetenland crisis, in the belief that Memel would be annexed.

his feet, he nearly collapsed and was then placed in Claffey,s car and taken to St. Mary,s hospital, on general service, with a diagnosis of ruptured kidney. He was placed on private service some time later but died at 11:10 p. m. on December r8, 1888 as result of the injuries he sustained, which consisted, as de- termined by autopsy, of ruptured right kidney, lacerated and divided; ; hemorrhage and urinary retroperi- toneal inflltration received when he collided with the automobile op- erated by Edward Claffey.
 Whereas there is definite, to my mind, lack of judgment in the way Claffey operated his car, I cannot find that 1t amounts to gross and criminal negligence. I, therefore, find that said death was caused by injuries sustained when deceased collided with the car operated by Edward L. Claffey, but said death was not due to the gross and crim- inal negligence of the said Edward L. Claffey.

 that he gave a signal that he was either going to turn or stop, but he was sufficiently far over into the road as to leave the bicyclist com- ing from the opposite direction in a very definite quandary as to what to do coming down the steep grade. Just when Claffey stopped his car in respect to the approaching bicy- clist is little difficult to determine. I am inclined to think he stopped rather abruptly and the bicyc,ist had to make a nasty decision, rely ing on the appearance of the auto mobile before him, which would indicate that 1t was going to turn into Hazel street. So relying, the cyclist turned to his left to pass on the opposite side of Claffey's car, but owing to the condition of the highways and the shortness of the distance. he was unable to do 50 and collided with the front of Claf- fey's car, which threw him to the street. The boy was inclined to make light of his accident and was more concerned about the condition of the bicycle, but shortly, getting on

 talize on the fears of endangered European nations sufficiently to cause them to join together either in a revived system of defensive alliance or in some modified league for collective security such as was abandoned by the big powers with collapse of the League of Na- tio9is.
 Obvious Danger Points Two or perhaps three obvious points of danger stand out if 1t is assumed that the momentum of the Nazi revolution will carry on irnnle- diately.
 One is in Polish territory, espe- cially the Polish Corridor" which the Versailles treaty-makers carved out of German soil when they di- vided East Prussia from the Reich. The Warsaw government, fearing the steady encirclement of its ter- ritory by Nazi troops as result of the developments of the last 10 days, is seeking to bind Britain, France and Russia to a definite pledge to military aid as the price for Polish participation in the Stop Hitler" front.
 Whether Britain and France would pledge themselves to such an alliance (although France already is a military ally of PolanO remains to be seen, although the Soviets have urged such a military pact by all of the powers involved.
 Britain is seeking as a first step pledge that the four powers will consult in event of further Nazi aggression on the grounds that they could then decide what action would be taken.
 Second Is Mediterranean
 A second danger spot for Europe is in the Mediterranean, where Premier Benito Mussolini of Italy is preparing formally to initiate his demands for concessions from France.
 It may well be that Hitler, hav- ing taken all of the profits of the Berlin Rome partnership to date, has now told the Fascist premier to get his share while the time is ripe. The Fascist Grand Council indicated as much when it de- nounced the "Stop Hitler" move ment as creating danger of war and reiterated the solidarity of rela- tions with the Reich in preparation for an important speech by Musso- lini next Sunday.
 But Mussolini's task is much more difficult than 'Hitler's because the Italians must go directly up against Britain and France and because the Fascist leader is less willing than Hitler to risk a major war. As Q result there is mounting hope that the Italian quarrel with France - and less directly with Britain can yet be settled peacefully although it certainly will be accompanied by 8 great deal of bluster in coming days.
 France, gently pressed by Britain and more worried than ever by the Nazi gains, is willing to negotiate on conditions that Italy avoids efforts toward intimidation and does not ask for French soil. Mussolini's main claims could easily fit in those limits as they concern greater economic advantages in North Africa.

IT IS SAD to see the plight of
the poor defenders as they grope
around in the dark sometimes trying
to figure out just what to do. With
no guide to your holding they are
doing their best to guess. Or perhaps
it is worse still. Your bidding may
have given them q complete mis-
understanding OF what you holland
what you intend to do. They try to
protect themselves against the
cards they think you possess, only
to find that you have thrown them
onto the wrong track.
