IIEIIRNIIIIIENT ANNIVERSARY BEIEBRIITEII

BERIJIJW, March 16-—'1‘he German Government took its case again be- low the people today in cunpolsn mass meetings held throughout the Reich on the "day of the defence force."

Chief of these was at Frankfort- on-Main, where Rcichsfuehrer Hit- ler flew toaddressam “ in person. Before leaving he issued a decree saying Germany's armies “can never be conquered." " Hitler ‘ M ncw a ‘ l fiagsonthstrpolasonthefirstan- niverssry of German reams-meat in violation of the Treaty of Versailles. “The old armies’ glorious career was out short by the events of 1918." said Hitler's decree. "The gallant soldiers whose spirit has been well tried in past centuries may be re- pressed in times of national mis- fortune, but they can never be con- quered." ,

Three alternatives were envisaged by the foreign office as courses of possibie action by the League of Nations.

The first-for which the Wilhelm- strasse evidently is hoping-was one that would make the immediate de- parture of a German delegation for London possible. This would involve an acceptance in full of conditions under which Hitler is willing to send representatives to the London talks.

The second was a possible deci- sion by the League Council couched in such terms that a new reply from the German side would be n

eoessary.

The third possibility-an unequi- vocal no toGermanyb conditions- was considered by omcials here to be rather out of the question. Troops marched and bands played in celebration of the army's liber- ation and a huge mass meetinl! Wl-B held tonight in the Lustgartcn here.

RONIE, March i6-(C. R-l-lavus) —-The important Ethiopian military centre of Jijiga, only 90 miles from Addls Ababa railroad and 50 miles east of Has-er, tonight was reported captured by the forces of General Rodolfo Graziani, Commander of Italy's scuthem army. The reports caused celebrations here, despite the war omcds ad- mission they had uot yet been con- ﬁrmed. Jijiga, one of the early objectives in the northward thrust of General Grazianfs forces, was frequently re- ported bombed but never taken. Jijiga is linked with Harar by one of Ethiopia's few good roads. Military observers here said Gen- Qragignl evidently was pushing northward at an unusually swift pace. It was obvious, they said, that he was attempting to ‘get a stron- glehold on Ethiopia's single rail- road

Italian control of part of the rail- road running from Addls Ababa to the French port of Djibouti would afford the invaders a commanding position on Ethiopia's “lifeline? .__--——-

New Deal Measures Again Challenged

(A. P. By Guardian’; Special Wire)

\VASHING'I‘ON, March l’l—A fresh controversy over the cou- stitutionnlity of new deal legisla- tion reached the supreme court to- day in a request for a ruling on the Public Utility Holding Com- pany Act.

Decisions are pending on two other Roosevelt administration laws-the Guffey Coal Control and 1938 "Truth in Securities" Acts.

A case to test tho right of the government to furnish PWA funds for publicly-owned hydro-electric projects, may reach the tribunal in time for decision before the June adjournment.

The peel of the holding oom- pany was flied by Burco, Inc., of Baltimore, as the nine justices were leaving the courtroom today for a two-week recess. They had delivered two minor opinions o. few miuutca earlier and refused to ‘re- view 12 controversies appealed from lower courts.

Capacity House En-

thusiastically R e - , ceives Annual St. i Patrick’s Play.

A rollicking three-act comedy that “brought down the house" describes briefly the Benevolent Irish Society's play, "Welcome to Our City on 5t , Patrick's," presented to a capacity audience at the Prince Edward The- atre last night.

The performance, which was di rected by Mr. Roy D. McGillivray,I was characterized with delightful‘ Irish humor and played with a smoothness that made it a most pleasant evening's entertainment. A charming vein of romance was woven into the plot and the acting in some of the scenes would do credit to professionals. From start to finish the play was an outstand- ing hit and left the audience in a happy and. satisfied mood feeling that life was rather good after all. Between act specialties were also a delight to the audience. They in- cluded a vocal solo "Mother Mc- Cree”, by Mr. A. R. Mclnnis and beautifully executed dances, “An Ir- ish Lilt," by the little Misses Mary Walsh, Paula. Arsenault, Joan Gil- lls and Sylvia Chandler and a tap dance to "Dinah" by the Misses Paula Arsenault and Sylvia Chand- ler. The clever little dancers who were enthusiastically encored are pupils of Mim Vera/Williams. Be- tween sols two and three Mrs. N. D. McLean sang “That's an Irish Lullaby" and as an encore number "Grandmother's Advice."

Mr. Albert Blanchard was the ac- companist for Mr. McInnls, Miss Wllhemina Gaudet played for the dancers, and Miss Lillian Earle played the accompaniment for lidrs. McLean.

Mr. Jed Maddigan, assisted by Master Stanley Thompson, put on a comic skit, “Mother Isove," that brought bursts of applause from the audience.

Mr. Al Blanchard and his orches- tra played as an overture, "A Bunch of Shamrocks", and rendered excel- lent selections. including a number

Council ‘Claims N0 Authority To Rule On German Peace Proposal In Short Dramatic,

Meeting.

i _ _(C. P. By Guardians Special Wire)

An indication that Germany will be represented at to- day’s_meetlng of the council of the League of Nations was seen in_the statement last night of a government official at Berlin who said “we probably will go" to London.

The German press called

the council's reply to Chan-

cellor iiitler, rejecting his demand that the council con- slder his peace proposals simultaneous‘y with the resolu-

tion condemning Germany

Hitler’s new security proposals, but

be France's price for cooperation.

IDNDON, March 16 - In 10 dramatic minutes the League of Nations council tonight rejected Chancellor Hitler's second condi- tion for the attendance of Ger- many at the counciisu‘ usslon of the Rhineland situation.

"It is not for the council" the formab ceply- to Germany ‘reads, "to give m the German government the assurance which it desires."

Hitler made two conditions for the presence of the Reich at the council table:

1. That German representatives should attend on a footing of equality with the other represent- atives;

2. That Hitler's peace proposals should be considered in due course with the Rance-Belgian charge that Germany violated both the Treaty of Versailles and the Treaty of Iocarno in sending troops into the Rhinelnnd.

Private and Secret Sessions

All afternoon, first in private and then in secret session, the Council considered its reply. It was 7:25 p. m. (3:25 p. m. AST.) when the delegates flied slowly into the Queen Anne's drawing room in the old palace of St. James for a public sitting.

Pierre-Etienne Flaridln, French Foreign Minister, on behalf of both France and Belgium, immediately submitted a joint draft resolution. This draft resolution reads:

"The Council of the League of Nations on the application of Bel- gium and France finds that the German government has committed an infringement of Article 43 of the Treaty of Versailles by causing mil- itary forces to penetrate and install themselves in the demilitarized zone in disregard oi’ Article 42 and foi- lowing of the said treaty and of the Treaty of Lccarno, and invites the Secretary-General, in application of article four paragraph two of the Treaty of Local-no, to inform at once the signatory powers of the said treaty of the finding which the Council has just received."

Second Stay From Ex- ecution Sought Forl Hauptmann.

TRENION, N. J., March 16- The battle to save Bruno Richard Hauptmarm from execution two weeks hence and the imminent re< turn of one 0f his chief accusers, Dr. John F. Condon, Lindbergh ransom intermediary, stirred the prosecution to action today.

Attorney General David T. Wile entz, who headed the prosecution at Hauptmannh trial at Fiem< ington, summoned prosecutor A111 thony M. Hauck, Jr, of Hunter- dcn County, and Col H. Norman Schwarzkopf, head of the state police, to his office in the state house.

What they talked about was no! disclosed, but it was understood they discussed the possibility a. second stay of execution would be asked for HaupIma-nn. Another subject of the conference, it was reported, was Camden's arrival in New York tomorrow after two months in Panama, and the re-r quest of Hauptmarirfs counsel, 0. Lloyd Fisher, that the intermed- iary be examined.

TRENTON. N. J., March 16—— Governor Hoffman laid plans. an authoritative source said tonight, to request Dr. John F. Condon, Lind- bergh ransom intermediary, to ap- pear at the state house for ques- tioning on his part in the famous kidnap-murder case.

Date of the proposed interroga< tion was not fixed. depending upon the convenience of the elderly Bron! school teacher who returns tomor- row from a Caribbean cruise, and. upon his willingness to come to
