Then attention was given to the 144 Nazis who held the chanoellery while Dollfuss was killed and when guarantee of safe conduct to Ger- many was revoked when it was learned what had been done.

A special military court of four of- ficers will fry three men and others involved in the uprising. Among the persons arrested was a close friend of Rintelen, General Wagner of the army. There was a report he lud taken his own life after being seiaed at Graz.

ITALIAN TROOPS READY

Across the Italian border, 48.000 troops were massed, ready to met for the preservation of Austrian inde. pendencc.

Yugoslavian troops across the bor- der from the province of Csrinthls watched closely the “icvements of Nazi troops and government soldiers s fa: yards from them. One report said the Yugoslavlans fired across the border into Austria.

This was not confirmed, but the situation was particularly tense there because of the danger that a battle between Austrian forces would send bullets into Yugoslavia.

Toward Germany, home of Nazism. however, the Austrian Fascists could look with more comfort than during the turbulent days of the Dollfuss government. From the foreign min- ister of the third Reich, where out- lawed Austrian Nazis by the thou- sands have found a friendly refuge. came expressions of condolences.

Moreover, the German government withdrew its minister. Kurt Rieth. because without authority he helped arrange for the safe transit to Ger- many of Dollfuss‘ killers.

Developments in Germany indica- fcd that, even had the safe transit been undertaken. the Nazis would have been refused admittance to Chancellor l-fitler’s country. The German border was closed last night, and was not reopened until late to- day.

The Chancellor was reported to have gone personally to Munich to prevent Austrian refugee Nazis, armed and equipped, from marching to the aid of their rebellious com- rades at home.

The Germans have been lashed severely by the Italian press lately because of Nazi terrorism against Dollfuss.

The Italian Government assumed a very stern attitude toward any ele- rnent which might threaten the in- dependence of Austria.

(While troops were on the border, however, an official communique ststAd that improved conditions in Austria made no further action ne- cessary. Similar attitudes were said authoritatively to have been taken by Great Britain and France, like- wise pledged to maintain Austrian independence).

ATTACKS BROADCASTING SYS- TEM

Despite the friendly attitude in Germany, Colonel Adam. federal propaganda chief of Austria, in a , h tonight attacked the German official broadcasting system, accus- ing it of spreading false information and “heaping calumny on one who already wss lying on his bier, e dead man."

"Never before have Germans fought against Germans in such a manner, and with such perfidious means," he said.

Adam took up item by item the broadcasts in Germany, beginning with the report at 2.15 P. M., yester- day that not national socialists but I-Ieimwehr men had made the putsch against the chancellery and the Austrian radio station. He took ex- ception to the German radio report that in killing Dollfulis the Austrian people had turned against their tor- mentors.

"The official German news ser- vice left nothing undone to advance this‘! plan of -the putschers," Adam ss .

At a press conference the head of the federal press bureau referred di- rectly to an alleged German connec- tion with the putsch, saying the German minister requested that an attache of the German legation ac- gompany the "putschers" to the bor-

er,

The von Btarhemberg Government made it quite clear that stern meas- ures will be taken against the l-ii men involved in the attack of the chancellery.

All could be hanged under Aus- trian lsw. and if any are, it will mark the first executions of Nazis.

The government-inspired Gennan press emphasized a “hands-off" pol- icy toward Austria, and a studied ef-

Dollfuss’ death followed within 17 hours the hanging of a. Socialist, the first person to lose his life on a charge of terrorism.

‘Ihroughout Vienna, the spirit of tragedy prevailed. Many buildings exposed black flags, and faces of cit- izens were drawn and worried as they made their way through streets patrolled by steel-helmeted police, Helmwehrmen and soldiers. Placards proclaimed that the cap- itol is under martial law were posted prominently. The whole city had the appearance of being under the domination of an army of occupation from a foreign land.

our books. we look for payment from the party who mntracted the liability, not from some third party who knows nothing about the mat- ter, who is in no sense liable for the debt. and who can and does insist that he is not liable for payment.

If contracts between individuals are binding, then contracts between groups o1 individuals (govern- ments) should be still more so. If governments can violate their writ- ten. agreement, then may not the individual feel justified in attempt- ing to do likewise. and thus create contempt for laws which they create which says that a contract may be enforced.

Our contract insures to us effl. cicrit and continuous steam com- muncalion between the Island and the mainland. summer and winter. thus placing us in continuous connection with the Intercolonisl railway and the railway systems on the mainland. In the words of our late Premier J. D. Stewart, "Effi- cient" is perhaps the most import- ant word in the agreement-

“Only such a service as will measure up and compare in effi- ciency with that in other Provinces of Canada will fulfill either the spirit or letter of the above stipu- lation. A service that was efficient twenty years ago is not efficient today-for its efficiency must keep pace with the efficiency of service in other Provinces)’.

In our opinion the word "con- tinuous" is scarcely less important. A service that connects with one train and misses the next one or two is not continuous. This Province, your Committee feels. is guaranteed continuous connection throughout the year, and cf a quality that compares favorably with the serv- ice provided for the other Provinces of the Dominion. During only four months in i933, was there any at- tempt made by the railway to give us what might be termed "continu- ous connection“ by providing g, gec- ond connection during the twenty- four hours with the railway systems of the mainland, and we submit that even then. no disinterested party would term the service effi-

aid of field rifles. Loeben is a city of 10,000 population, and 27 persons were killed there. Styrian reports said the deed included 180 Nazis and

100 gendarrnes with fighting con- tinuing. Nazi storm troops throughout

Styria were celled out in ‘a general alarm.

Near the airport in Annabichel, a suburb of Klagenfurt, 200 Nazis arm- ed with machine guns and wearing steel helmets were attacked by a mixed force of soldiers and members of the Heimwehr (Fascist home guard).

After a desperate battle the out- numbered Nazis retreated, leaving behind nine dead and l6 prisoners. The government forces also took two machine guns.

At picturesque Saktveit, 20 miles north of Klagenfurt, in the heart of the romantic Carinthian Castle country, 400 Nazis captured the post office and the district governors headquarters.

Government forces attacked, at- tempting to dislodge them.

A desperate machine gun battle was under way at Feldkirchen Os- siachersee near Villach and Wold-l gang. .

The fighting was still under way at 10.30 P. M., throughout the Styr- ian and Carinthian regions.

During the afternoon it appeared the government was in a good posi- tion to control the situation, al- though the Nazis admittedly held some towns in the southern provin- ces.

One of these towns, Ratyersburg on the Yugoslavian border. fell with- out a struggle as government troops moved in.

VIENNA, July 27—Civll warfare between rebel Nazis and govern- ment foroes, its death toll already estimated at around 300 with many more wounded, gave indications of spreading early today as an after- math of the assassination of Chun- cellor Engelbert Dollfuss.

There was uneasiness in the Murgtal Valley, main artery to

cient in the light of present devel- llllmcnis and service to the other Provinces. We are getting nothing more than a railway service to many of the branch lines of the C. N. R. and not nearly as good as is provided in many cases to other than capital cities.

In the face of this, why our peo- ple have so long submitted-to the intolerable injustice done to its. while we hold a written document guaranteeing us the service which we need, is more than we can un- derstand, It is not, or at least should not be a qucstion of politics. neither political parties have ever done us justice, but we feel that tho time has now come when we should insist on our rights. Great hopes are being held all over Canada. for the development; of tourist traffic. and what can this little Province hope for with the handicap under which we arc at present placed by reason of the refusal of the C. N. R. to consider our request for reason- able ratcs for the transportation of autos. But why should the C. N. R. have anything to say in the matter, it is no concern of theirs what rate the auto pays. They are simply the party in charge of the carrying out of this part of the Confederation agreement, and have no more right to name the charge than has the conductor on any one of our trains to name the fare a passenger should pay. It is a matter for the Federal Government to negotiate a settlement of the problem to the satisfaction of Prince Edward Is- land. and failure on their part to carry out the confederation agree- m-uzt in both the letter and the spirit of the agreement, then places on our local Government the re- sponsibility of finding methods by which they can enforce their con- tract.

Rcmarking that the Premier would be going to Ottawa shortly, Mr, J. O. Hyndman stated that the Duncan Commission had recom- mended harbor improvements for Charlottetown and Georgetown.

The drivers voted 1866 b0 147 w accept this plan but the employcrfi. acting an hour earlier. had accept- ed all except a. proposal for a wage scale ranging from 42 1-2 t0 52 1-3 cents an hour and charged Com- munists were agitating the strikers- So the governor acted.

There were no disorders as 4,000 national guarclsnien moved into ac- tion to preserve order.

At. San Francisco it became known that the longshoremen of Pacific Coast seaports were over- whc-liningly in favor of arbitration. Ballot counting indicated the 12,000 strikers had voted 4 to l for ar- bitration.

Mr. WM.Cathrae And Family Here On Brief Visit

Family friends among the older generation will be interested in the visit to Charlottetown this week of Mr- W. M. Cathrae, of Eustace, Florida, who arrived by motor cur, accompanied by Mrs. Cathrac and son William. before proceeding by way of North Sydney to Newfound- land. Mr. Cathrac is a nephew of Mr. A. E. Morrison and son of the late J. H. Cathrae, who conducted business here about. a half century ago, and was widely known and cs- teemed. Late;- the elder Mr. Cath- rae, who was a native of Scotland. removed to Newfoundland, where among other enterprises he leased my a, ninety-nine year period from the Newfoundland Government, valuable gypsum mines near Port au Port, Bay Saint George. It is with a view to looking personally into the prospects for further de- velopment of these mines that Mr. W. M. Cathrae is visiting New- foundland before rcturning home. Though it is forty years since his visit. as a. youth, to Charlottetown, he still remembers such landmarks as Rankine drugstore and other old time establishments. The gen- eral appearance of the city, of

course, has changed out of recog- nition since that time. The visitors came by way of

Washington and had a most enjoy- able motor trip. Conditions in the United States, Mr. Cathrae reports. are by no means settled and there ‘is considerable dissatisfaction among outstanding business men with the operation of the National Recovery Act.
