New Austro-German Pact Makes Diplomatic History ' A NEW era in European diplo macy was heralded with the signing of a treaty between Ger many and Austria re-establiyhing peace and normal relations be tween the two nations. Since Italy has been acting in the role of big brother to Austria ir the past two years it was re garded as a virtual certainty that Premier Mussolini had sanctioned the new pact. Observers pointed out that with Germany, Austria and Italy in accord and with Po land friendly to Hitler's aims, Eu rope now has a prospective alli ance more powerful than the triple alliance of Germany, Italy and Au stria-Hungary preceding the World war. By the terms of the new Austro German pact, the sovereignty of Austria is guaranteed, a friendly attitude by Austria toward Ger many is promised, amnesty to Nazi agitators in Austria is given aad freedom of Austrian Nazi now in terned in Germany is permitted. In sealing the Austro-German agreement Chancellor Kurt Schus chnigg of Austria wired ? mes sage of congratulations to Chancel lor Hitler expressing his conviction that the agreement "would be to the advantage of the whole Ger man people." In replying Hitler expressed the wish "that this agreement will re-establish the old traditional relations springing from racial unity and the centuries long common history" of the two peo ples. In diplomatic circles the signing of the new pact was regarded as another shrewd coup by Chancel lor Hitler and Premier Mussolini. The German and Italian dictators have thrust a dictatorially gov erned Fascist and Nazi wedge through central Europe from the North Sea to the Mediterranean.

Promise of Rain* and Cooler Weather for Drouth Areas \A7 ITH a recession of the ex tremely high temperatures promised and the prospect of rains, some measure of relief was in sight for the sun-parched drouth areas of the Great Plains. Rains which fell in portions of the Northwest revived scattered areas. But for day after day a record-breaking heat wave had brought temperatures ranging from 90 to 114 from the Rocky Mountains to the Appalachians. Twenty-three states, eight of them in the South, were listed as suffering in some degree fixro the drouth. Ten of them ? North and South Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, Minnesota, Missouri, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Virginia and South Carolina ? were already in a criti cal stage. Five others ? Kentucky Georgia, Alabama, North Carolina and West Virginia ? were borderline cases. Eight others where the full severity of the drouth had not yet been felt were: Nebraska, Wiscon sin, Iowa, Michigan, Illinois, Kan sas, Indiana and Ohio. The sweltering heat and drouth spread into Canada. The prairie provinces of Manitoba, Saskatche wan and Alberta ? Canada's bread basket ? had begun to suffer like their neighbors in the United States. Except for scattered lo cal showers, there had been no rain from Ontario westward to the Canadian Rockies since June 16. With the full extent of the dam age in the "dust bowl" area of the Northwest not yet known, the fed eral government made plans to deal with a long-range disaster. President Roosevelt, taking person al command of the relief program in Washington, announced that he would make a personal tour of the drouth-stricken areas within the next few weeks.

Meeting in Washington, the exec utive council of the American Fed eration of Labor considerea the matter of suspending eight national and international unions or. the ground that these eight unions have begun the formation of a ri val, or dual labor federation. John L. Lewis announced that he would not respond to a summons of the executive council to answer charges that he had violated the federation's policy by trying to or ganize 500,000 steel workers into one big industrial union instead of into several unions divided by crafts. Threat of Farm Strike Worries French Nation \\T ITH the threat of a farm * * strike hanging ominously over France, riots in French cities and street clashes between the leftists supporting the popular front social ist regime of Premier Leon Blum and rightists who oppose it added to the unrest. The government made anxious efforts to dissuade farm workers from going on a strike for higher pay and better wages. On five farms near Paris strik ing farm hands had actually oc cupied the land While this was a localized situation, it was fraught with dangerous possibilities. Due to heavy rains and hot weather the wheat has ripened at an abnormally rapid rate. Should a widespread strike of farm hands occur that delayed the wheat cut ting only a few days, experts were of the opinion that the entire crop of the region would be lost. Fifteen Jap Army Officers Are Put to Death FIFTEEN Japanese army officer* who were leaders in last Febru ary's bloody rebellion in which four high-ranking government officials met assassination, were executed by a firing squad in Tokyo.

BURGESi BILLY MINK AND LITTLE JOE OTTER DECIDE TO GO VISITING A FTER visiting the Smiling Pool ** and warning Little Joe Otter and Jerry Muskrat to watch out for traps, Bobby Coon decided that the Laughing Brook was altogether too dangerous a place for him, so he turned back into the Green For est and firmly resolved to keep away from the Laughing Bro<*c. Billy Mink and Little Joe Otter talked things over. "I found three traps," said Billy Mink. "There may be some I have not found. Anyway, it is cer tain that when that trapper finds "I Believe I'll Go Away for m Visit." that I know about those traps he will set some more. I don't be lieve he is smart enough to hide a trap so that we cannot find it. But, you know, accidents will hap pen. He knows that yon and I make our homes along the Laughing Brook and he will sim ply make life miserable for us by continuing to set traps. Do you know what I believe I'll do?" "What?" said little Joe Otter. "I believe I'll go away for a vis "Before October" "Before October" is the name of this suit by Lachasse. It is of brown and black Scotch mohair tweed. The belt of folden beige suede is worked into the jacket at the waistline. The hat is of brown felt with ? woolen cord trimming. it," replied Billy Mink. "I've been feeling rather restless for some time anyway, and there isn't any better time of year to go visiting than right now, before the snow and ice come. There's a certain brook some distance from here that for a long time I've been thinking of visiting. I believe I'll start tonight, and I'll stay long enough for this trapper to get tired of setting traps and catch- , ing nothing." "That's a good idea." said Little Joe Otter. "I believe I'll go visit ing myself. I always did like to travel. There is no sense ii. tak ing foolish risks, and that is just what we would be doing by stay ing here. I think I'll go down to the Big River and stay a while. The fishing here isn't as good as it might be. anyway. I wonder if Jerry Muskrat will go visiting, too. Let's tell him what we are going to do and see if he wants to go along with one of us." "He can't go with me." declared Billy Mink in a most decided tone. "He travels too slow. I don't be lieve he would want to go with me anyway, because, between you and me, I suspect Jerry is a little afraid of me." Little Joe Otter grinned. "I [ guess he has reason to be," said he. "I've been toid that the Mink family has a liking for muskrat meat. I hardly think he'll want to go along with me either because he is such a home-loving fccdy. But anyway, we'll tell him what we're I going to do and then he can do as he pleases." So Billy Mink and Little Joe Ot ter told Jerry how they were go- j ing to fool the trapper by going { visiting. They urged him to do the same thing. ? r. w. Kmc*. ? MOTHER'S ?
