l'1—Extraordlnary measures for '

official secrecy surrounded Col. T.

an army hospital, led to uncon- firmed reports tonight that the motorcycle accident in which he was injured resulted from an at- tempt on his life.

The famous Lawrence oi Arabia and o. nscious for the fourth day since the motorcycle he was riding collided on a public road with a bicycle ridden by a child. Physic- ians announced thers was faint hope for his ultimate recovery.

It was understood a guard had been placed recently near the cot- tage tc which Lawrence had re- tired and it was rumored he had asked for police protection. Offic- ials exerted, however, the guard was posted there merely to watch the cottage in case oi a p ible approach of a heath fire burn- ing some distance away.

One rumor. generally discount- ed, was that Lawrence was am- hushed and shot, and lost control of his motorcycle just as two youthful cyclists approached-o theory which would explain how a crack rider, such as Imrrenee wu known to be, could have careened into an approaching cyclist. It was known that both cyclists involved in the accident were waned officially not to comment in any way concerning the inci- dent. '

with Lawrence, leader of the Great War revolt oi the Arabs ag- ainst Turkey, still unconscious after more than 100 hours, physio- ians resorted to artificial feeding in an attempt to maintain his slowly ebbing strength.

Ready To Deal With Farm ~Loan Applications

(C.P. By Guardian's Special Wire) OITAWA, May 1'I—Applicatlons for loans to farmers by the Farm Credit Board will be considered without delay, it was indicated at the Department of Finance today.

Previously the Dominion and provinces co-operat- nd. not only was there dual control but the act did not operate in all the provinces.

For "reasons of expediency“ the court decided not to try simultan- cously all the nuns and friars who arc held under similar charges, but, to handle their cases separately.

Dealing With Facts

This, it is hoped, will be fur- nished by Adolf Hitler when he addresses the Relchstag Tuesday evening. Vague intimatlons have been heard that he will be concili- atory. His previous curt announce- ments have been defiant. Fore- casts of the tenor of his declar- ation on its very eve are fruitless, but at least the situation has pro- gressed m this extent, that the powers now are dealing with facts and not with rumors.

At no time since the Armistice was signed have events crowded on each other‘: heels as in the past eight weeks. They have seen con- ference after conference, re- doubled energy towards the com- pletion of still more pacts, under- standings, agreements—all inspir- ed by iear of Germany re-armed. and all carefully designed to admit Germany as a full partner.

The British government has been" at great pains, regardless "of hitherto disappointing results in Berlin, to make clear that. always the door is open to Germany to enter into a general, all-embracing scheme of mutual guarantee against aggression, of collective security. While the House of Com- mons in London has been assured the British Air Force will be made the equal oi any other force with- in striking distance. it has also been told that if Germany will frankly announce hcr policy and needs, Great Britain will talk with hcr, and in agreement with France and Italy will concede 11C!‘ a measure of recognition winch may not be all that Nazi Germany wants. but still will be worlds re- moved irom the Versailles Treaty.
