Duke Of Windsor Broadcasts Appeal For Peace
Duke of Windsor
 Makes an Appeal To Avoid War

VERDUN, France, May 8 (P)- The Duke of Windsor addressed, from the World War fortress of Verdun, an appeal to all political leaders ito avoid a new World War"
 The former British king, mak- ing his first broadcast since his historic abdication speech, said he spoke Simply as a soldier of the last war whose most earnest prayer it is, that such cruel des- tructive madness shall never again overtake mankind"
 His speech was broadcast to the United State by the NEG, while the King and Queen of Eng land are crossing the Atlantic for a tour of America. The speech was relayed over the Frenh gov ernment radio but was not broad cast in England.
 The former King spoke from a radio car brought from Strass- bourg to the inn where he and the Duchess are staying during a tour of World War battlefelds.

Chamberlain Hints Willing g Arbitrate Polish Issue

UNDATED, May 8 (A) - The decision of Italy and Germany to bind their axis of relationship in a formal military and politic- al alliance threw a sharp con- trast on the opposing interests of Rome and Berlin on one side and Paris and London on the other.
 In Italy, the new accord rais- ed Fascist hopes for German Polish settlement on the belief that Mussolini wouldn't have en tered into such an arrangement if he expected it to involve him in an eastern European conflict.
 Nazis hailed it as "a mighty bulwark of steel guarding Europ can peace" but called Poland's attention to its implications of an alliance on the other side and brought, new importance to the prolong ~Brit.sh-Russian nego- tiations to add the Soviet Union to the British French lineup.
 Now that Italy and Germany have made what diplomatic ob- servers in London called a psychological attack" the Brit ish government dropped hint to Poland, whose independence Britain is pledged to help defend, that she would welcome an lam icable settlement" of the Polish issue with Germany over Danzig.
 Both Chamberlain and Richard Butler undersecretary of foreign affairs intimated that Britain is willing for the establishment of some form of international ma chinery to arbitrate the question, if Germany and Poland asked her to in Warsaw.
 The press reaction to the It. allan-German agreement was that "it is new Hitlerite bluff but has not changed Polands de termination not to be influenced by what one paper called "new methods in the German policy of intimidation"

Action Taken On Larceny
 Of Reindeer

In an interview with J. Sidney Rood, Acting General Reindeer Supervisor regarding the purpose of his airplane trip to Candle Thursday, MT. Rood stated:
 "U. s. Attorney Charles Clasby proceeded to Candle to prosecute a case involving larceny of rein deer, and I accompanied him to aid the Government. Complaint had been brought by Unit Manag CT w. M. Hemsing, pursuant to instructions from our Office.
 "Complaints charged violation of Sections 4802 and 4814 of the Compiled Laws of Alaska. Sec ton 4802 makes reindeer a sub ject of larceny, while Section 4814 makes it felonious to wan tonly kill, wound, disfigure, or injure any animal belonging to another.
 "We remained only couple of hours in Candle. Witnesses for the Government had arrived there are MT. Hemsing's request, and the evidence was already as sembled. The defendant pied guilty to the charge of larceny, and was given appropriate sen- tence. Also, he paid for all ani- mals killed, which were valued at $45.00. The felony complaint was dismissed.

 Reindeer are private property, like a mans dogs, or his cattle. Owners are entitled to protec- ton. It is unpleasant to shame man before society by causing his arrest and arra.gnment be- fore the Courts, particularly on such charge as theft; but the Natives are a poor people, and they depend upon their reindeer for food and clothing. Of course, larcenous practices constitute a threat to everyone's security.
 I've are instructing the Native people regarding methods of in- vestigating cases involving lar ceny of reindeer. It is up to them to help the Government protect their property. Some of them are very good grade detectives and witnesses indeed" said Mir. Rood,
