Snake Is Found in
Body of Cricket
County Farm Commissioner
Is Authority for Story.

ROULLARD, CALIF.-This is a
fish story-about snake.
What's more it's backed up by no
less an authority than Fred Roul-
lard, Fresno county agricultural
commissioner.
Russell Troutner, county supervi-
SCR of neighboring Kings county,
said he found a snake eight inches
long living inside a cricket.
When he told this before a meet
ing of the board of supervisors, he
was quipped numerically.
However, Roullard backed him up,
explaining hair Snakes" or worms,
use the cricket and some other ami
mails as means of livelihood. The
adults lay their eggs in water and
they become attached to some ia
sect and develop inside their host.
Sometimes, said Roullard, sit
is passed from one host to another,
for example a bird would eat a
grasshopper containing a snake and
continue to live IN the bird. At ma
turity the snake Cmerges. If its
host is an insect its development to
the adult stage kills the host. If the
snake is near the water when it
leaves its host it will live out its
life span, otherwise it will die within
a few hours"
A namatodes of the species gordi-
us-that is the scientific term of this
snake, it was explained, sometimes
grows to three or four feet long.
Troutner has his cricket and the
snake in a bottle-to remind people
his FISH" story is really scien-
tific curiosity.

Wounding of Deer Leads
To Success in Business

CLEVELAND.-Andy Christie is
in a 100000 business because he
wounded deer IS years ago.
Christie, so, of Kingston, N. H.,
was a successful shoe and clothing
salesman in 1923 when he shot a
deer and spent several hours trying
to find it.
While searching he met Fred Mich
OILS, a poultry raiser, who helped
him find the wounded animal the
next day. They became close
friends.
Christie finally yielded to Nichols
pleas and they started raising chick
ems together-until now they have a
$500, 000-a-year business.

Great Britain Strikes
 Back At German Blows
CContinued from Page D

There appeared to be no question that the British people were strong ly behind the governments an- nounced determination to fight If necessary. Webb Miller, veteran United Press diplomatic and war correspondent, reported from Lon- don. The great difference between todayS developments and the 1888 crisis is that Britan never guaran- teed to fight for Czechoslovakia and in fact said that she could not. She has agreed to fight for Poland and it is widely believed that failure to do so woudl mean the end of the British empire as it exists today.
 But perhaps the gravest danger now arises from the fact that the German people are unaware in gen. eral of the British determination that Hitler himself may have been misled in this connection. It was for that reason that the British gov ernment sent its ambassador on a fateful mission to Berchtesgaden this morning
 whether Hitler would or could back down or delay final account ing in event he should desire to do so remained highly doubtful. The German people have been led to be- lieve that the Fuehrer has already executed another grat bloodless tri- umph by his negotiations with Rus sia. They are confident, advices from Berlin said, that it's all over but the shouting and that the shouting will not be iong delayed.
 This week may tell whether the totalitarian steam roller has too much momentum to stop or be stopped short of war.

reports that Tokio's ambassadors to Berlin and Rome might be recalled to report. If the pact were con- cluded and observed, Japan's posi- tion in the struggle against Russia for Far Eastern dominance would be impaired.
 Hitler Is Forcing Issue
 In all of these rapid-fire develop mentS, Hitler appeared to be bring ing his war of nerves" against Bri- tain and her potential allies to the greatest crisis yet attained. Time after time, the Nazi fuehrer had hammered at the weakest points in the British security front, jabbing at Poland, feinting at Hungary and threatening JugoSIavia. Then with lightning speed, he launched the move to reconcile NaziSm with Rus sian Communism.
 If the rules of the Czechoslovak diplomatic war had been working, the Nazi-Soviet deal should have been a knockout blow to the British and French and Poles.
 After announcing the pact was be- ing negotiated, the Nazis settled back jubilantly and with expressions of confidence that the shooting was all over; that Poland would now col lapse: that Britain could not fight without Russia and that the fourth partitioning of Poland was only a matter of time.
 Refuse to Collapse
 But the British, French and Poles refused to collapse under the Nazi diplomatic blows. Today, they came up fighting for what appeared to be the final round in the war of nerves. Defense forces of the security front were boosted to new highs; constant watch was ordered for the Appearance of enemy bombing planes over the frontiers; war supplies to Germany were cut off; parliament was summoned to meet in London stomorrow-rumored to be Der Tag set by Hitler for his greatest tri- .umph-to grant Prime Minister Ne vile Chamberlain's government the bowers of dictator.

NNOllllIlu6O IIOfu EdRS U thus laying the basis for the present crisis.
 Despite these rebuffs, some diplo- matic authorities were of the opin- ion that the President might make some new move.
 In effect, officials here hoped for continuance of peace, but prepared for the possibility Of war. If war does come, heads of the departments are determined that the United States will not be caught unpre- pared.
 The five departments which would be most concerned were represented in conference late yesterday in the office of Acting Secretary of State Sumner Welles, the acting secre- taries of war, navy, treasury, and the assistant attorney general, in addition to the army chief of staff, chief of naval operations, and office of the general commandan of the Marine Corps were represented.
 Although officials were secretive concerning the subjects discussed, it was learned that the safeguarding of American nationals in European war zones and the preservation of American neutrality were the prin- cipal topics.
 Subdividing these subjects, it was said, the officials discussed ways and means of maintaining orderly markets in this country in event of war. Toward this end, it was stated, treasury and securities and exchange officials presented plans originally worked out during the Czechoslovak crisis last year and last spring, with amendments developed to fit present circumstances.
 The plan, it was said, was calcu- lated to enable all markets in this country to remain open instead of being compelled to close for time as was the case at the outbreak of the World war.
 Belief of Officials
 Some officials believed that it would be necessar yto work out de- tailed plans for foreign countries to liquidate gradually the holdings of their nationals in American se- curities. It was pointed out that the proceeds from this liquidation could be used to finance the purchase of war materials in this country not specifically covered by the arms en- bargo.
 The tri-partite monetary and ex- change agreement among Great Bri- tain, France and the United States would remain in effect, at least tenn porarily, officials said. It would be subject to modification however. Consideration was said to have been given to methods of enforcing the existing neutrality law but spe- cific details were reported to have been held in abeyance because of the likelihood that immediately upon the outbreak of a war the pres ident would summon Congress to consider revising the law.
 Much discussion centered around practically completed plans for get ting citizens out of war zones, it was said. Under plans already well ad- vanced, all American ships in Euro pean waters, or as many as might be necessary, would be called upon by the maritime commission to CO., operate with this government in evacuating citizens.

While newspapers Shriek with huge, bold type the changing count enance fthe European map, the question arises, how interested is the average American student in these European crises? Results of survey of senior classes conducted at three departments of Boston University, show that slightly more than one-third of the students sig nified interest in foreign affairs.
 The survey was conducted at the college of business administration among the male seniors, at the col lege of practical arts and letters among the co-eds of the senior class, and at the callege of liberal arts where both men and women were queried.
 Foreign Affairs
 Results of the survey conducted among the males at the college of business administration and co-eds at the college of practical arts and letters showed that they were equal ly ionterested in foreign affairs. Thirty-two per cent of each group signified their interest as regular readers of foreign news. The mixed group at the college of liberal arts revealed that A per cent of the fourth year class regularly read European news. The influence of European crises was indicated by the result that more than 50 per cent of each group of the three de- partments followed European events occasionally depending on the un- certainty of peace.
 Seventy-three per cent of the males declared that they read head lines in a newspaper first, and 70 per cent of the co-eds reaffirmed this point. Of the mixed group only 52 per cent said they read headlines first in a newspaper. Fol- lowing in descending order, sports, comics, editorials, stocks, and clas- sified advertisements were other choices for being read first by the men students. Students at the col lege of practical arts and letters listed fashions, comics, sports, so- ciety news, editorials, and last page as the items they look at first. The mixed group at the college of liberal arts enumerated sports, society, comics, editorials and classified ads.
 Conservative Journalism
 Conservative journalism was prac- ticallJ a unanimous choice of the senior classes. At the college of bus mess administration 85 per cent of the males indicated taht they liked conservative newspaper; and 8S per cent at the callege of practical arts and letters, and 92 per cent at the college of liberal arts also regis tered their vote in favor of an un- sensational newspaper.
 Vocational interest was indicated in the results of answers as tc whether students read the financial pages. Students at the college ot business administration, who be- cause of hteir business studies should naturally be interested, re- vealed that 68 per cent regular. i followed the news in the field c. business However, at the colleG
 of practical arts and letters and tb, college of liberal arts the percent age was much lower. At the forme
 the survey showed only 20 per cer read the financial pages while at the latter only 16 per cent of the sen- iorS.

What;s New m He Ne1us? Survey Indicates How College Students React to Foreign News, Editorials, Sports, Comics and
 Even Columnists

Comics are still as popular as when they made their appearances in the sensational newspapers more than 30 years ago, the survey showed. Eighty-five per cent of the males in the senior class at the college of business administration read the comic pages regularly, Il per cent occasionally, and only four per cent rarely. At the college of practical arts and letters the CO., eds claimed that only 65 per cent read the comics regularly, 25 per cent occasionally, and 10 per cent rarely. Seniors at the college Of liberal arts are the most rabid fol- lowers of the pen and ink dellinea- tors, the survey revealed. Eighty five per cent read the comics regu- larly while the remaining 15 per cent read them occasionally.
 Editorials
 Colleges of liberal seniors also were more interested in editorial pages than other students. Ninety-six per cent of the students read the editorials, while enly 94 per cent of the males at the college of business administration follow editorial com- ment, and the co-edS at the callege of practical arts and letters trailed with percentage of ninety-tWo.
 Unlike the students at the colleges of liberal arts and business admin istration, girls at the college of practical arts and letters favored local news ocer national events, with 68 per cent of the class reading local items and 32 per cent national happenings. This average was op- posed to that of the two other col leges which. favored national news over local gossip.
 Sports pages are more interesting to males than girls, the survey re- vealed. Seventy per cent of the students at the college of business administration followed the daily doings of their athletes regularly in the sports pages, while only quarter of the co-eds at the college of practical arts and letters and 16 per cent of the seniors at the college of liberal arts read sports.
 Columns
 Columns in form of essays were favored by the senior classes of all three departments of the University over the sensational, chatty, gossip columns. Ninety-six per cent of the college of liberal arts seniors marked preference for columns of opinions over gossip, while 80 per cent of the other two departments also sig nified the same preference.

Retreat Necessary
 Or War Is Inevitable
Continued from Page l)

Such unconventional tactics are aimed at beWildering HitlerS op- ponents and are based upon his firm conviction that neither Britain nor France really want war because they have nothing to gain from it in the way of territory or indemnities.
 Hitler's plan would leave Italy completely out of the picture.
 The most reliable estimates are that Hitler now has 70 army di- visions, totalling about 100000 men, half encircling Poland from the Bal tic to Slovakia.
 Hitler Determined
 There seems no doubt that Hit Ter is determined to force the issue within a few days or at the most within a week. The principal un- known factor is whether the Poles will fight.
 The Polish general staff is quite familiar with the fact that aside from an effective number of air planes, the French and British are unable to provide Poland, for geo. graphic reasons, with enough aid to hold the Germans for long.
 Whether the straight-from-the shoulder message which Sir Neville Henderson, British ambassador, is delivering from the British cabinet to Hitler will deter him seemed high ly doubtful.
 Hitler apparently is convinced that Britain has so much to lose and so that she will tacitly recognize Ger little to gain from a general war many's dominance on the continent, while Hitler will recognize Britain's dominance in other spheres.
 Canberra, Australia, Aug. 23- UP)-Australia will fight by Brit aims side if she is forced into war in Europe, Prime Minister R. G. Menzies announced today in behalf of the government.
 If Britain is forced to war she will not go alone" he said. Aus tralia stands where she stood 25 years ago."
 In the World War, Australia, then with less than 6,000,00O people sent 330,000 men overseas. Their casual ties in killed and wounded totalled 215 ,178.
 "The British government is be- having with magnificent restraint" said Menzies in his statement today.
