afternoon at the close of bust

There were 220 workmen af-

It was said at headquarters that
there were not enough replace

The injunction will be ask
ed on the grounds that the
action of granting the permit
was illegal as the commits
sioners had no authority to
grant the permission TO con-
sfruct the building. which is
an unsighilY appearing struc-
lure. and will prove detri-

Permission was granted by
the county commissioners to
Mr.. Walker at their meeting
of august 8. Mr.. Walker as
suring the body that the
place would be nicely con-
siructed and arranged and
that the surroundings would

AT q recent meeting of city

CONFERENCE ON
EUROPEAN ISSUE
STILL CONTINUES
HITLER HAS NOT MADE ANY
DEFINITE STATEMENT REL
ALIVE TO CONTROVERSIAL
MATTERS
!. tny A.soclatea Presal J

. LONDON, Aug. 14.The CAPT
tails of Europe were abuzz today
with conjectures on the import OF
conferences still in session be-
tween Adolf Hitler and Italian
diplomats in Berchtesgaden.
The party between high Off
cials of the axis powers has been
in progress since Friday, and the
whole world is specializing on the
outcome.
While no official statement has
come from Berchtesgaden, the
German press advances the opin-
ion that strong axis policies will
shortly be released, treating spe-
officially on the Danzig situation.
Chief purpose for the get-to-
gether, it is reported, was to bring
Mussolini's policy more into line
with the German desire to pre-
sent strong front against Po-
land. II this is accomplished, it
is thought that an early move to
obtain Danzig and the Polish corr
rider for the Reich will be made
in the near future.
Mussolini's agents will seek to
make conciliatory gestures to
England in the Polish question, it
is stated, in an effort to satisfy
Britains in the event of any move
to obtain Danzig.
Germans are hopeful of effect
ing the change by negotiation
rather than by aggressive action,
and displomats agree that Eng
land must be satisfied that the
move is necessary before her
agreement could sanction the
turning over of Danzig to Ger
many.
Poland remains adamant on
the question of giving up Danzig
and stands prepared for any
emergency following the German
Italian conference.
