V-A plea for United States reduction of armaments to "show the world we believe in" the Kellogg-Briand peace pact was made yesterday by Representative Boileau (P-Wis.) in an address to students of George Washington university. Condemning what he said was an annual war expenditure of a billion dollars by this country, Boileau said an "adequate national defense" was possible only through organization of men and materials sufficient to assure effective resistance of invasion. Wants Strict Neutrality. Boileau attacked the argument that a large army and navy were necessary for defense, asserting that civilians have fought all of our wars, that only 8 per cent of the regular army saw service in the last war, and that reserve officers could train civilians in event of war. He advocated strict neutrality legislation "to protect us from our own war This, he said, should prohibit sale of war materials to belligerents, prohibit financing of wars, keep our ships and citizens out of war zones, abolish all profits in event of war, provide at once for universal conscription, and provide for government ownership of arms and munitions factories.

By FREDERIC SOXDERN (McClur Newspaper 8yndicte) A series" of conversations with British political and economic leaders recently revealed the forces directing John Bull's continental moves. Hitler's immediate plan, they know, is the peaceful economic penetration of southern central Europe. The fortification of the Rhineland was a step towards destroying France's political power in central Europe by making it impossible for the French army to come to the aid of the Little Entente countries. Hitler already has been very successful in Jugoslavia, the greatest of the Little Entente countries.

That affects no British interests directly. And if France should feel driven to wage a preventive war because of it, Britain doesn't intend to be drawn in against her will. Britain is arming to be able to hold the balance of power and peace between France and Germany in future. A pact with either of them would destroy that position. Backinr Hitler.

An overwhelming majority of the German people are behind the Fuehrer. No doubts remained with any observer who mingled with the crowds that came to hear Hitler's "campaign In the Rhineland, in Bavarian Munich, in North German Hamburg everywhere the same frenzied enthusiasm and adoration for "Germany's liberator." The Locarno powers and the London conference made his campaign easy for him. When jiews came of the London plan to "police" a 12-mile zone of the Rhineland, your correspond ent, in Cologne at the time, gathered some sentiments from the man on the street: "Our troops are in the Rhineland to stay Just let the French try to put them out i If they want a war, we'll give them one. Always the same attitude. Some deep-dyed communist friends of mine went for the first time to hear Hitler speak and they returned with the de termination to vote for him, also for the first time.

Germany has never been so completely united. Terrific Tax Burden. The present wave of enthusiasm is sorely needed to dull the edge of Dr. Schacht's inescapable financial measures. The Rhine forts and a planned increase of the army to 40 divisions will cost money.

And appropirated the company's funds to arm the heimwehr, the chief military support of the piesent minority dictatorship. Jubilantly they welcomed the news that the government's supervisor of insurance committed suicide. The government responded by arresting everybody in the Phoeinx company connected with Berliner's regime who could tell where the money went. Peril for Austria. Today, whatever truth or falsehood may be contained in the nazi's charges, the fact remains that their charges contain dynamite sufficient to explode the whole unstable structure of Austrian government.

Not a word is allowed to be published anent the scandal in the Austrian press, and neighboring countries such as Czechoslovakia and Hungary are so financially involved that little information reaches the public there. The fact that a large British in Mummy of Princess, 5,500 Years Old, Comes to Light in Pyramid at Gizeh V. i surance company is involved has prevented any but scant notices appearing in London. Nazis Spread Story, Now, however, by word ojf mouth, the nazis have spread throughout Austria the story that the government has stooped even to stealing life. insurance premiums to arm its troops against tthe popular majority.

So strong has this propaganda become that the fear is -expressed that the government may be forced to compromise and offer the nazis a place in a coalition. Duce- Still in Way. But the second of Europe's two immediate troubles now becomes important. Germany, in the opinion of experts here, already has begun work on fortifications in the Rhineland. As Winston Churchill just remarked, "Danger will be brought definitely nearer from the moment the German fortifications are completed.w 'plastered with gold ornaments.

The mud of the Nile had seeped into the tomb, covered the body and preserved it through the thousands of years. The face and jaw were especially well preserved. The body of the princess was reclining2 sideways. Around the neck were three threads of gold. Another gold necklace with two gold weights was found on the ground, apparently having dropped from the body.

The head-dress was of gold with streamers of copper and gold. A bracelet of thin gold was on each arm and a girdle of cop- offer yea I I ill I rfP But they are not completed. Now, if the nazis in Austria want to use the Phoenix scandal as a springboard from which to leap into power, they will be faced again by Mussolini's million-man army, which, in much smaller numbers, sufficed to defeat them in the Doll-fuss putsch. But if Germany's fortifications are completed, the Gerrrfans, with their backs secure against a French attack, would be free to counter Mussolini's menace, and permit the Austrian nazis to take power. Hence Europe's haste to meet at Geneva and bring Italy back into the family of nations even at the sacrifice of Haile Selassie.

Hence the French insistence that Germany must not fortify the Rhineland. Hence Europe's desire to knock together any kind of agreement before Austria, the continent's greatest fire hazard, breaks once more into flames. i per covered with gold leaf around the waist. Gold circlets were around the legs and two heaps of gold were at the feet. Mummy Very Fragile.

Despite its excellent condition, the mummy was extremely fragile and was being handled with the utmost caution. The find wes considered the most important since the discovery of Tutankhamen, whose mummy was 3,250 years old. Chephren was the brother of Cheops, builder of the great pyramid, and succeeded him. Herodotus records that during the reigns of the two brothers, the Egyptians suffered miserably so that they could build; the vast pyramids which were to be the kings tombs. Cheops closed the temples and made all the Egyptians labor cn his monument, working in relays of 100,000 men every three months.

He even sacrificed the honor of his daughter to get money. The princess built herself a small pyramid of stones given to her by her lovers.

1938, Bt IN3 LONDON, April 7. (INS)The disturbing reasons why Europe's powers are rushing together at Geneva tomorrow to throw up a hasty barrier against war were revealed today. One is the collapse of the Austrian Phoenix General Life Insurance Co. The second is German in Rhineland. So remote is Austria and ko tiny, that its financial failures have scarcely attracted attention until they proved to have worldwide consequences.

But the failure of Credit Ansalt five years ego led to the crash of Germany's banks, the Hoover moratorium, and the departure of both Britain and the United States from the gold standard. It now appears that Vienna's -Insurance scandal harbors seeds comparable in their potentialities. The Austrian Phoenix was the biggest insurance company in central Europe, next to Berlin's Allianz. Two months ago its president, Wilhelm Berliner, died, and his successor, Eberhardt Von Reining-haus, soon discovered I that the company was insolvent, possessed of only a fraction of its capital, and had suffered around Nazis Hurl Charges.

And even thei possibility of aii Anglo- French military treaty doesn't up set Berlin particularly. My Ger man foreign ministry informant shrugged it off with, "Such a pact would only come into effect if we should attack France.

Generalissimo Gamelin paid a visit to the' Maginot line to lay plans; for the new system of barracks that will house most of the French army on the eastern frontier from now on. The steely eyes of the little, ginger-haired marshal showed a lot of bad humor that is shared at present by most of the general staff. By all the rules of the game, they say.
