Roosevelt Signs Bill
Authorizing Guard
And Reserves Call
Low Makes 396, 900
Available for II Months
OF Active Duty
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt has signed
legislation authorizing him to call
out 396 900 members of the National
Guard and Army Reserves for II
months of active duty.
The White House announced Mr.
Roosevelt's action, saying the meas
ure was signed last night.
Congressional action on the Guard
legislation finally was completed last
week. 1t was represented to Con-
gress by military experts as an es-
sential preliminary to draft legisla-
ton, since the Guardsmen and Re-
serve officers would be used in train
ing and organizing conscript army.
First Contingent September Is.
Now that the legislation is signed,
Mr.. Roosevelt may summon the
Guard to duty at any time. The
Army high command, it is reported
has set September Is, tentatively, as
the date for mobiliza ton of the first
contingent.
That contingent probably will
number $1,000 officers and men, but
there has been no announcement of
the units from which the men will
be drawn. There have been indi-
cations, however. that they probably
would be the 30th, 41st, 44th and
45th.
The September Is date was agreed
upon, some authorities reported, be-
cause the Army desired to give
Guardsmen two weeks at home be-
tween the end of summer maneu-
vers and the beginning of the H.
month service period. The last
maneuvers end August 81.
May Serve in Hemisphere.
The Guardsmen and Reserves
called, including also all those sum-
moned to duty in later contingents
may be assigned by the President to
serve anywhere in the Western
Hemisphere and on the Philippine
Islands.
Those on active duty will draw
pay at the same rates as are pre-
scribcd for the Regular Army
based on $21 month for enlisted
men.
Not all men in units called viii
have to serve. The law provide
that discharges will be given auto
matically to all Guard member
under 18 years of age. All Guards.
men and Reserves under the ranf
of captain who have dependents viii
be permitted to resign within II
days after being called to duty.

SALzBURG. Germany. Aug 28-
Adolf Hitler conferred today with
axis diplomats in his lofty Berchtes-
gaden retreat and then sent them
off to Vienna, where. starting to-
morrow, they, will try to induce
Hungary and Rumania to compose
their territorial dispute lest it flare
into war.
Foreign Ministers Count Galezzo
Ciano and Joachim Won Ribbentrop,
representing the two ends of the
Rome-Berlin axis, lunched with the
Fuehrer and then took a plane for
the capital of old Austria, there to

At the same time they left no doubt
that differences between Rumania
and Hungary must be settled
quickly.
Hungary wants to get back Tran

appease Hungary by proposing a
transfer of populations. and, since
that has failed to satisfy Hungary.

BY LILLIAN. COX ATHEY.

Along the Atlantic Coast from
Cape Cod to New Jersey and in
Vineyard Sound, Buzzards Bay and
Long Island Sound, the green crab
is the most common species seen.
You win find it between the tide
marks, and often it is well up on
the sandy beach. Desiring nothing
more than to keep out of sight,
it is hiding under loose stones. II
it cannot find this shelter 1t will
be found in the tide pools, in holes
and cavelike spots along the shore.
Not being a very large fellow, since
1t is rarely more than inches long
and slightly more In breadth. it can
hide under small stones and drift
material quite easily. Besides, its
green back makes 1t difficult to dis
tinguish from other drift debris. It
has flve-pointed teeth on either side
Of the anterior part of its upper
shell (carapace). There are beauti-
full spots of yellow on the green
background of the shell and when
the crab is out in the open he Is
very conspicuous, different matter
altogether from when he Is hiding
in the vari-colored seaweed. The
surface Of the carapace is somewhat
granular. The posterior feet are so
f1attened as to make excellent SWIM
ming paddles or oars.
When you try to capture this little
fellow he is most determined you
shall not. His spunk is charming
and he puts up really grand fight;
this is what accounts for the brave
ones specific name, given it by the
French, and meaning frenzy"
Swimming crabs, like all other
crustaceans. are scavengers. They
grow fat on dead animal matter
and keep the water free from such
Objectionable material.
All of the tribe are pugnacious.
They are willy and some have even
resorted to what appears to be
strategy of marked degree. They
are -withal interesting and their
habits are amusing; strain of in
telligence makes them lively pets If
you have a suitable place to keep
them.
From the time they leave their
eggshell until they become adults,
they 60 through several complete
and very unusual metamorphoses.
They did not resemble their parents
during their youthful days. In
growing they mott several times a
year if they have an abundance
of food and outgrow their tight
skins.
Once reaching adulthood, they
seem to keep their shell, since so
many have been found with queer
assortments of extraneouS organisms

- NASSAU, Bahamas, July 49,
Puzzled Bahamas, trying to guess
Just why the Duke of Windsor, for
mer Brotish ruler, is being sent here
as governor, speculate that Britain
may be planning to unity all her
West Indian possessions.
They see obstacles ahead for any
plan to put the II British colonies
Of this area under one administra-
tor. Yet, they believe there must
be some deep, basic reason why the
former King of 100000 subjects
was designated to govern a mere
$1,000 residents of one minor colony
Dominion Status Hinted.
Their speculation turned on uni
hcation and dominion status for the
British West Indies because the
formal announcements said that the
Duke would come here as governor
general" title customarily reserved
for the administrators of dominions,
such as Canada, South Africa and
Australia. The simpler term "gov-
ernor" has been used for the chief
executive of this and other colonies
Nassau officials in a furry of ex-
citement, felt the British colonial
ONCE would not use the title by ac-
cident. They conjectured that a
new dominion might be contem-
plated, composed of the Bahamas,
Bermuda, Barbados, Jamaica, Trini-
dad and Tobago, the Windward
Islands, the Leeward Islands, Brit
ish Guiana and British Honduras
It would have more than 5000, 600
inhabitants and would invest the
Dukes new Office with added impor-
tance.
Unwieldy Domain.
Most officials in Nassau hold that
such a domain would be unwieldly
to govern. Even among the 20 in
habited islands of the Bahama
group, they assert, varied dialects
and habits make little real unity
possible. This condition would be
multiplied by addition Of the other
islands.
On one thing most agree-that
the Duke and the Baltimore-born
Duchess were designated to do a
job of supersalesmanship with the
United States, similar to that he
did when he was widely travelled
