Intrepid ?j little chancellor of Austria, has ?i fallen a victim of his political enemies.

Schuschnigg ?le Naz|g the? ?< surrendered on promise of safe conduct across the German border, being ft aided In the negotiations by K. Rieth, <. the German minister to Austria. When it was learned that Dollfuss had been killed the promise was revoked and the Nazis were locked up. ^ Meanwhile another small bunch of j j Ing office and hail given out a state- j)< ment that Dollfuss had resigned and jj, would he succeeded as chancellor by ^ Dr. Anton Rintelen, the minister to 0j Italy. Rintelen was called to Vienna ^ immediately, put in a cell and there (1( shot seriously, officials said he tried rjto commit suicide. si Rintelen was nut In n i?r??rv!*ni o^a ? ??i SI later forty Nazis raided the place in an attempt to abduct him. A nurse tli leave an alarm and the police arrived tti in time to capture a number of the rc raiders. President Miklas called on Dr. Kurt tl Schuschnigg, minister of education un- tfc der Dollfuss, to head the government, w and he. together with Former Vice lo Chancellor Emil Fey and Prince Ernst von Starhemberg. the vice chancellor, ? took charge of the situation with the J; helmwehr to back them up. 0I Schuschnigg, who is thirty-seven q years old, is a Roman Catholic, an anti-Nazi and antl-Sociallst and is c| believed to favor the restoration of the monarchy. Like Dollfuss, he will u be not only chancellor but also mln- t| ister of war. Justice and public In- w struction. Vice Chancellor Von Star- c, hemberg was made leader of the en- ?. tire security organization. The foreign minister is Baron Berger-Wal- b deoegg. In the province of Styrla and in BEORie other regions civil war broke jj out almost at once and the Nazis, strong in numbers especially in Graz, were desperately lighting with the reg- s ular army and the helmwehr. Italy, France and Great Britain J were conferring as to the best meas- fl ures to take to carry on their pledges I of last February that the integrity of 9 Austria should be maintained. Italy, ^ especially, was determined that the ^ Austrian Nazis should not gain control of the country and was ready for fjj armed intervention. Mussolini had ^ 75,000 troops encamp^! near the Aus- i trian frontier and personally assured A Prince Von Starhemberg that he would defend Austrian independence. The French professed to look on the Nazi revolt as an Internal event not war- & ranting Intervention at present, hut ^ the question of maintaining Austrian . Independence Is one of the few In 11 .which they agree entirely with the r< Italians. * Naturally, everyone blamed Germany for the tragedy In Vienna, for n the German Nazis have carried on a long and persistent campaign against 1 I>ollfu88, making use of the radio ? without restraint. Hitler's government, tJ however, tried to avoid implication in s' the Vienna uprising. Minister Reith b was recalled to Berlin because of his unauthorized action in helping the J Nazi group, and Hitler appointed n Franz von Papen to succeed him. The n border was closed to all political fugi- h fives from Austria. The German press, f: always under control, was careful not h to express Joy over the killing of Dollfuss. u On the side lines, waiting to see u what course would prove most ndvan- d tageous to themselves, were Czecho- ti Slovakia, Jugo-Slavia and Hungary. p p WITH monarchists in control of * the Austrian government the roy- r alists of that country and of Hungary c resumed their schemes for putting the young Archduke Otto on the old throne t of the Hapsh*rgs. There are reports S that they held a secret meeting in u Vltznau, Switzerland, and formed a b restoration plan which they hoped tl would be acceptable to France, Italy, d Great Britain and the little entente, b Their first object waa to secure the t approval of Premier Musaolinl. Lead- v era in the movement are Colonel Ran- n t - The Cherokee S a of the Austrian army. Felix Dunel. an Austrian monarchist, and ount Hojos of Hungary. According to the story current In aris. the condition placed by the lite entente and the big powers to altwing Otto to assume the throne is tat he will sign a pledge guarauteeig thp present boundaries and other ?rms of existing treaties with regard > Austria and the succession states CHANCELLOR HITLER of Oermany was at Bayreuth and inforation was conveyed to him there lat Marshal Von Hindenburg, the ?ed president of the reich. was seri iisly ill at his country home. Simar reports have been frequent of tte. but this one appeared to be au>entic. Hitler of course was watching the )urse of events in Austria closely id even anxiously. One of his assoates said to a correspondent: "We it all sorts of alarming rumors. We nderstand that people who favor our lint of view are simply shot down, riierever fighting occurs we under;and orders to federal troops and ixiliaries are to take no prisoners id give no quarter.'* IPXPI/IRER," the huge balloon constructed to carry three army fleers far into the stratosphere, made brave start from near Rapid City, . D., rose to a height of 00,000 feet id then came to grief. Great rips ipeared In the fabric of the bag and came down rapidly and erratically, illing with its gondola 12 miles from oldredge. Neb. MaJ.

But all their expensive and aborate scientific equipment, with le exception of the spectograph, was ?stroyed when the gondola crashed, he spectograph hud been hung outde and floated to earth on a separate nail parachute. Captain Anderson said he believed le light two-ounce fabric used below le uinpuragm on lite Dig iwuuuu v*ub sponsible for the break in midair. Captain Stevens, however, asserted ie ripping, of the bag, about the time ley attained their maximum height, as due to its "peculiar shape and cul shape strains set up." l/I ItS. ANNA ROOSEVELT DALL, ^ only daughter of the President, stained a divorce from her husband, urtis Dall of New York, in swift roceedings at Minden, Nev. The fiarge was "extreme cruelty/* and the idge, "out of deference to the Preslent of the United States," held the tnl behind closed doors. The case as not contested by Mr. Dall. The Listody of the children, "Sistle" and Buzzie." was determined In a writ?n agreement approved by the court ut not made public. kifARTIAL law In Minneapolis, decreed by Gov. Floyd B. Olson beause of rioting Incidental to the trike of teamsters there, proved obP noxious to almost everybody und both the trucking firms and their 7,000 striking drivers asked for its dissolution. At the same time Adjutant General Walsh announced that the "insurrection" had been suppressed. Still the governor declined Gov F a_ to w,thdraw J. * troops. Additional uison '? " wcic giveu in11Ary permits to operate, and a ban gainst those In Interstate commerce as revoked because Its legality was 1 doubt. Beer trucks, however, were amoved from the privileged list and rere forbidden use of the streets on he ground that they did not furnish a ecessary service. At a mass meeting of nnion laborers he leaders demanded the withdrawal f the troops, the secretary of the rack drivers' union charging that the oldiers were "little more than strikerehkers." The federal mediators. Rev. Francis '. Haas and E. H. Dunnlgan, anounced that they were preparing a ew plan for settlement of the strike ut said they wSuid await advances rom the disputants before presenthg It, The striking men demanded that the nion be allowed to represent "inside" rorkers of warehouses, elevators, prouce houses and similar firms In which rucking plays an Important part. Emloyers agreed to an election of labor epresentatives In companies where rorklng conditions are In dispute but efused to make the arrangement genral. Riots in Kohler Village, Wis., In which wo men were killed, led Gov. A. G. Ichemedeman to place the community nder martial control, and 600 memera of the National Guard were sent here. During the riot the police aivl leputles used tear gas bombs and lank cartridges and where these failed o disperse the mob, they opened Are rlth loaded shells. The officer cornlanding the Guardsmen ordered the cout, Murphy, N. C., F disbanding of the force ol special deputies and permitted the strikers to resume peaceful picketing of the Kohler plant. Longshoremen of the Pacific coast ended their two-month long strike and returned to their Jobs in all the ports, as did the marine workers. Pending arbitration by the federal board, stevedores will be employed by employercor*rolled hiring halls under supervision of observers representing the board. Control of the hiring halls was the chief Issue In the str'ke and is still to be settled by the arbitrators, along with the questions of increased wages, shorter working hours and improved conditions. MAItlE DRESSLER. beloved veteran of the stage and screen and one of the foremost comedians of the time, died at Santa Barbara after a long fight against cancer. She knew two years ago that her condition was hopeless, but went on making pictures as long as she was able to work?the kind of pictures that endeared her to countless thousands. Brave, generous, clean minded, highly skilled in her art. Miss Dressier will be sadly missed. O EORGE N. PEEK, President Roosevelt's special adviser on foreign trade, announced that in an effort to recapture some of America's markets abroad the so-called Second ExportImport bank was ready to finance American shipments to any country in the world. Hitherto this second bank has dealt only with Cuban trade, while the first hank was created to handle Russian business. Thus far the Russian bank has been moribund because ftussia has failed to pay her war debts to this country, and the State department has held that, under the Johnson law forbidding new American loans to debt defaulters the hnnk mnv not grant credits to Russia. FILIPINOS met in Manila In constitutional convention to form the commonwealth government which will bring to them In ten years the independence they have long sought. Probably their task will take several months. The delegates number 202 and at their opening session they were presided over by Manuel Quezon, veteran nationalist who is a familiar figure in Washington. The constitution is likely to be modeled after that of the United States, though there are those who favor the European style of parliamentary government with a one house legislature. After the constitution is written it must be approved by President Itoosevelt and submitted to a vote of the Filipino people before becoming effective. In drafting their basic law the delegates are being aided by United States Senator Hayden of Arizona, who took to Manila a tentative plan for their consideration. ALL American possessions except the Philippines, Samoa aad Guam are now under the direction of a single government agency. The division of territories and Island possessions, created by President Roosevelt under authority of the government economy net, has taken over control of Hawaii, ilaoL-o Diiof?a T? 1 /*a ?*%<! islands. Previously Puerto Rico was under War department and the others were under the Interior department Alfalfa bill Murray, governor of Oklahoma, has thought up something new. One M. C. Oraham had been fined for alleged violation of a milk selling ordinance and the governor pardoned him. The Oklahoma City officials ignored the pardon and planned to arrest Graham again, whereupon Murray declared a military rone about Graham's automobile, wherever it might go. This naturally blocked the civil authorities. SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY MORGENTHAU, on his return to Washington from a month's vacation, informed the press that he has selected Chicago as the center of a "model" experimental district in which his department will make an earnest effort to stamp out liquor bootlegging. "You can't say that we are being sissy, or that we have picked out an easy mark for our model," Mr. Morgenthau remarked. He declared that the new aicohol tax unit at Chicago, from which activities will be directed in a district embracing Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin, will be made the object of intensive study while a vigorous, campaign is prosecuted there against tax cheating bootleggers. Mr. Morgenthau knows he Is faced with a monumental task. Reports to his agents have Indicated that great volumes of the hard liquors and wines being peddled in the country as the genuine article are in truth spurious Imitations, practically as bad as they were before repeal of prohibition. PAUL MAY, Belgian ambassador to the United States, died in a Washington hospital following an abdominal operation. Mr. May was a veteran diplomat and had held the pott to Washington since April, 1931. He waa a man of engaging personality. riday, August 10, 1934 Howe About: \ Silerius' Third Wife Unsuitable Marriages Cruelty of War ?. Bell Syndicate.?WNU Serrlc*. By ED HOWE IN HIS memoirs Silerius tells most of his relations with his third wife, which he confesses were on the whole more agreeable than with the other four. (Details as to his marriages ar? shadowy, as though some of them were failures, but he seeuis to have been married live times, and it is of his third he speaks most in many references to marriage, women and the family life generally). Silerius had no fault to find with this third woman, although he is very severe in references to some others of her sex. She seeins to have had no faults he did not regard as natural, and therefore to be forgiven because of her many virtues. Once Silerius discovered his third wife was jealous of him, and was astonished. "She knew at our marriage," be wrote, "that 1 had lived the life of a goat. Why should she be Jealous? It seemed to rne unreasonable that she was, since I actually preferred her to all others in an enormous competition. Women live sheltered lives: possibly there is reason for jealousy among men, but If I were a woman. I do not believe I would be lealous of a reasonably well behaved husband. This may be unfairness: 1 frequently find I am unfair after I have striven to live as an honest man in thought and action." A strange woman lately wrote me a strange letter. At the age of twentyfour she held a position in which she gave satisfaction, and in which there was every prospect of promotion. In defiance ?f advice from friends, and of her own Judgment, she married. The husband was a palpable third rater, and she divorced liim. Again she secured a good position; air.lin slip m:irri???l o nt<in gIio >ni?rl>f have known was worthless. This time ] her friends were distrusted, and she has joined the unemployed. One of the strangest things I have j encountered in life is the manner In | which many women rush Into unsuitable marriages. Everyone understands j why men are so crazy about women, j but 1 have never been able to under- , stand why women are equally crazy , about men. It seems to me that were 1 young, and a woman, 1 could consider marriage with considerable pa- , ticnce, intelligence and caution. The red lantern signal is usually , hung on unsuitable husbands and wives, as It is on dangerous bridges. , An old German is reported as say- ; ing: "When our sons mowed down thousands of French, and won the battle, we shouted and drank beer. , When the French killed our sons, they cheered, and drank wine. When my son marched away to fight, I stood , In the streets of this town and cheered. A letter my son wrote just before he was killed said he had lived in France two years, and lilted the French, and they liked him." ... In addition to the unnecessary killing and hate, the war impoverished the world. . . . Wouldn't you think anyone could understand the moral of this In considering the next war? What Is the lesson of the moment, ] the hour, the century, or of all time? , I believe It Is the dangerous and growing power of politicians, the press and radicals, all representing minorities, and the cowardice of the major- ' ity in refusing to enforce necessary ' decency. 1 The habit men have of being artifl- 1 cial, over-sentimental, is very old. As ' far back as lloman times, Silerius was ' weary of artificial things, and wrote that thev Rn hnpoH him h? ??? * , >.. ? >ic ui caucu 10 ' go on the streets. In the Roman Forum, when a young man used fine i eloquence to make false promises. SI- ? lerius walked wearily away, and re- i tired to his study. The last year of his life he spent In writing his me- j moirs, and in the second volume ] (page 182) I find this observation: "Writing men have so tired the peo- , pie with unnatural things, I have con- , eluded I may better please by being natural and simple in writing my rec- , ollections. I may thus at least put , down what one man actually thought ^ and experienced during a long life; , men have become so untruthful In . seeking truth that my method may, . Indeed, prove to be something new, and better recommend my work." This seems to have been a mistaken opinion. Although Silerius wrote with great simplicity and frankness, Marcus J Aurelius, a contemporary writing with j so much labor and obscurity that critics now say he is not understandable, is more popular. The natural use of 1 writing would seem to be to truthfully record credits and debits, in books of 1 history sr well as In account books, * but somehow we have decided other- 1 wis*. i .1 J IMPROVED""" I UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL I SUNDAY I I chool Lesson 1 (Bj r*v. p. b. ran ater. d d i Member of Faculty.

God through the prophet said, "Seek ye me and ye shall live." The implication is that while as yet the dlrine judgments are not executed, an opportunity is offered for them to turn to Sod. The time to repent Is while Judgment Is stayed. In their turning to 3od they were called 1. To renounce idolutrv (vr. 5. 6). They were to turn away from the Dlaces of Idolntrv?rptimi nu??i ?a Beer-sheba. The Judgment of God was to strike these places. He urged them the second time to seek the Lord, promising them life. 2. To cease to pervert Judgment (v. 7). "Turn Judgment to wormwood" implies the bitterness to the injured of ' the perversion of Justice. j 3. To cease to dethrone righteousness (vv. 7-9). "Leaving off righteousness" means that unrighteousness was allowed to take its plnee. Fcr the third time he urged them to seek the Lord. In this exhortation the Lord's name is given, with a statement of some of his works. a. "Maketh the seveu stars and Orion." b. "Turneth the shadow of death into the morning." c. "Maketh the day dark with night." d. "Calleth for the waters of theses, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth" both In rain and in deluge. e. "Strengtheneth the spoiled against the strong." III. The Sine Committed by the Wicked Nation (vv. 10-13). 1. They hated the Judge who condemned their wicked practices (v. 10.) 2. They abhorred him that spoke uprightly (v. 10). This probably r* fers to the prophets themselves. 3. They trampled upon the po* (v. 11). The rich built magnificent houses out of the gains extorted from the poor, but the prophet assured them that God would not permit them to live In the houses nor drink of the wine thereof. 4. They afflicted the Just (v. 12). This they did by taking a bribe. What f a picture this of our own time! 5. They turned asme me i* * ? the gate ( . 12). Because the poor had no money they were turned aside. The times were so evil that the prodent would best keep silent IV. The Prophet's Plea for Repent nee (w. 14, 15).

Those who eek Ged shall have with them the Lord of Hosts. 2. Hate the evil (v. 15). It Is not enough merely to love the good; evil must be bated. 3. Establish Judgment In the gat? (v. 15). It was the custom In that day for the courts of justice to sit In the gate of the city. The prophet urged upon them the responsibility of placing honorable men in charge of public affairs. V.
