Thursday- between representatives of Great Britain, France and Italy for tho coatfderation of the peace outlook of Central Europe. Anthony Eden was seized with a serious illness while returning from, his peace mi: ;ion to Moscow, and his physician ��are he will be confined to his room for a considerable period. His illness ha-; brought Premier Ramsay Mac-Donald bak into the international picture after an absence of several months.
The panorama which will confront I the delegates to the Stresa conference is a startling one. In Germany a ik-w army and air force is be.n? rapidly developed in defiance cf the terms of the Versailles treaty. Berlin and Kaunas glare angrily at each other over the Memel issue, and on the F y.Lsh-Gcrman frontier continuous r:ot:n-g has destroyed the illusion of peace between Warsaw and . Berlin.
Acoss the continent of suspicion" Anthony Eden, lord privy seal of ~ g.ts; Britain has travelled, touch -Lit at most of the capitals, in a pcr-"�sent search for friends of peace. snd on to Stresa will go the British . delegates in the hope that 1935 will not witness a repetition of the cal-amitv of 1914.
Adolf Hitler at present seems to v fh" chief stumbling block to the
'� ! r �' continuous peace. He �in i- onomic union with Auk- | which would be but another litical union. .He wants ! to Germany the i ig portion of Czecho- j
has more than 3,-nts He demands an equ il to that of Britain and an army equal to that of nd a navy of at least 4(n.ono i H !''��� :> ofesses to fc.ir Ru sia. J the Soviet government in turn � '�'� gard Hitler as the most dangerous i person to the peace of Europe.
Great Britain has. ind'eated the demands of Hitler are not acceptable. I Prance take.? even stronger opposition to them, and Italy will not consider , union cf Austria with Germany , whi .would bring a troublesome!
aMon up to her borders. Thr> world
'�';.. await with anxiety the outcome
the Strp.sa conference, the creat-
' hope being that an outbreak of
hostilities may be postponed for a
feu- years.
It would appear that events at. Stresa will be shaped largely by the British. If it wa.s evident early in the came that London and Paris intended to maintain an entente, it is almost certain that Rome would join in Moscow has made no .secret of it'-, willingness to go along in an anti-German bloc and the L-ittle Entente *s ready. But should the British :\nd French remain apart, it is most likely that Mu.*?solinl would retain his liberty of action.
London has given little posit'-ve indication of the � role it will play. There is an overwhelming Conservative majority in the house of commons, the leaders of which do not trust Germany and who believe in a large degree of protection against possible a.ir warfare or undersea warfare by Germany. But the British government is tended by Ramsay MoDonnld. who loves to insist on his faith in human nature�even that r,t :>,,�� rv>nmn National Socialists.

GERMAN NAZIS FAIL TO CAPTURE FREE CTTY OF DANZIG
Rome. April 6�The action of Germany in repudiating the arms restrictions of the Versailles treaty has created a very difficult situation in Austria. A considerable part of theT Austrian population is in favor of th-:? German plan for a union of Austria with Germany, but those who are opposed are divided as between j themselves. There are,two private armies in Austria, the Catholic Storm Troopers, headed by Chancellor Kurt von Schuschnigg, and the Heimwehr, headed by Prince Ernst Rudiger von Starhembevg, while other dissenting factions are the Nazi j German sympathizers and the Communists, who are ready to take advantage of any breach. � Back of the jealousy between the Storm Trooper* and the Heimwehr Is the plan to make Starhemberg re�ent of the country, as a place-holder for Archduke Otto, of Hapsburg, until the powers are ready to countenance n re-establishment of the monarchy Premier Mussolini is said to be con-.'�idrri:>t'. this it )ve nv an :-ffiCi< lit check upon German invasion f.wd absorption of Austria.

When the voting booths were < losed the N-v/\* .started a big celebration in ih" belief their victory{ had been complete, but later reports I fhpwed thi-3 confidence to have been I unfounded. 'On top of this anti-Nazi.s have started lepal action which j questions the legality of the election.! p.ndirg employment for men on relief will be again resorted to. The issue hn.s been raired as to the liability of the city to cover men employed on relief work with workmen's compensation. If this is insisted upon it would add to_(h" cost of the work tmproxi-mately $1200 per annum, which in it'-elf would uo n considerable way :n the covering of the cost of such wort as might be regarded as n^ce^ary.
