MONTANA STANDARD, BUTTE, TUESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 3, 1935. TROOPS MARCH IN FIVE EUROPEAN NATIONS AS ANNUAL MANEUVERS CET UNDER WAY TIHEfll IN US GUJPTTLE Germany Stages Greatest Show of Force Since Hitler Ousted Treaty. PARIS, Sept. lines of troops, rumbling artillery, supply trains and motorized detachments wound through vast stretches of country-side today, recalling vivid World war maneuvers. The threat of war in East Africa and the dark clouds it has gathered over Europe gave ominous significance to the fact that like Italy last month, the powers are staging their greatest display of armed might since 1918.

The British Mediterranean fleet is conducting exercises across Italy's path to Ethiopia; the home fleet is gathering for advanced autumn maneuvers at Portsmouth; Germany 1 and Soviet Russia have just completed naval maneuvers in the Baltic; Italy is ready to match British naval maneuvers off the Suez; mighty armies deploy on the soil stained with the blood of 20 years ago. British, French and Australian maneuvers were significant not only because of the threat of war be tween Italy and Ethiopia but he cause Germany is staging her great est show of force since Relchsfuehrer Adolf Hitler the armaments restrictions of the Versailles treaty. Air Force Drills. While German infantrymen deployed at Luenebcrger. the air force division stationed at Brunswick began intensive drills with full aii equipment and anti-aircraft guns Squadrons of heavy bombers and pursuit planes zooming over Brunswick were the first to participate openly in maneuvers since the war.

Villagers, most of whom did not hear even the gunfire of the war, inspected tanks and heavy artillery curiously. The first of Germany's new recruits under universal conscription received their baptism of fire at Lueneberger heath, north of Hanover. Machine guns rattled above the distant boom of artillery fire, revealing the modern weapons with which Germany equipped herself secretly after Adolf Hitler's rise to power. The German war problem was designed to demonstrate the ability of the recruits to execute a slow and bitterly contested retreat before an invading enemy from the west. The French maneuvers began at Bethel with crack, newly motorized receiving their first rigor- combat tests over the Cham- -pagne countryside.

The French maneuvers will last a "North" and "south" armies were concentrated along a 40-mile front, ready for clashes on the hills near Rheims. Gen. Pretelat of the superior war council directed the maneuvers the eyes of Gen. Victor Gemelin, chief of staff, members of the war college and foreign military attaches. Both forces in the French mimic warfare went into action at 20 miles an hour, their motorized equipment rolling easily over the countryside.

Columns of motorized troops brought up for re-enforcements travelled at 60 miles an hour. NYE MEETS NEW HEAD OF VIRGIN ISLANDS ON TRIP PHEf FfllLUIlE When U. S.

But heavy winds were expected in the populous Miami area, the rich citrus region near Homestead, south of here, and northward along; the coast toward West Palm Beach; Miami, caught somewhat off guard in belief the dangerous winds would not reach high velocity, hastened preparations as wind intensity increased. "Boarding up" continued after the resort cify heard the west coast was the chief probable mainland terminus of the hurricane. The American Legion and Red Cross called on their organizations to "stand by" for an emergency.

'The Reuters correspondent at Diredawa, Ethiopia, said he heard an unconfirmed report that an advance guard Italian troops, with 1,500 native troops, crossed the Ethiopian frontier west of Assab. An official denial of the report was issued at Rome.) To Do as He Pleases. Emperor Haile Selassie told European powers plainly today that he intends to do what he pleases within his own empire. The British, French and Italian ministers made representations to the emperor concerning his concession to American Interests for development of more than half his land, but he merely beamed upon them and insisted on his rights to do what he willed within his own house. To the British minister, Sir Sidney Barton, who urged Haile Selassie to recall the concession, the king of kings replied only: "Peace be unto you." Then the emperor, turning to problems of bolstering his nation's defense forces, ordered modernization of his army communication system by use of portable wireless sets of an American pattern.

And on one book, he established a literary reputation of the first rank, although th: entire book has had a total sale of only a few over a hundred copies. Tills is, of course, the "Seven Pillars." Lawrence would never take more money than was nccrssary to support him in comfort, and rather meager comfort at that. The very much limited editions of the "Seven Pillars" in 1926 resulted in a deficit, because Lawrence had inslstrd that the book be beautifully prepared and made, and had commissioned a number of arthts to do the illustrations. Lawrence would never tell exactly how many copirs had been run off, and managed the printing so that no one else knew. And when it became evident that, he could not pay out on the transaction, he consented to abridge the "Seven Pillars," which he did almost at a sitting.

Frank Morrison, secretary, related in his labor-day address that in 1906 the federation had adopted the policy of standing by its friends and opposing its enemies. He outlined four new laws which he said were enacted through the aid of friends in house and senate and because "President Franklin D. Roosevelt insisted." But the most positive statement was that of John L.

Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers of America. He said: "Organized labor in the contest that is to come has no choice but to support the president morally, with votes and with its frugal pennies. Of the result there can be no doubt. A grateful people in appreciation of faithful stewardship will re-elect Franklin D. Roosevelt." While their declarations were being put before labor rallies in different sections of the country, how- i ever, some statements both from conservative democrats and republicans were presenting the opposite view.

Henry Breckenridge, who was an assistant secretary of war under Woodrow Wilson, issued a statement in New York calling for "coalition of all elements of the American electorate opposed to subversion of the American system by the alien- minded adventurers who have seized the machinery of government." He said the democrats in congress and elsewhere should recapture control of the party from those whom he ai-serted had repudiated all 1932 promises and departed from all principles and traditions of the party. His statement almost coincided with a republican national committee announcement charging the Roosevelt administration with debauching the public service by "filling every possible office from the highest in the gift of the president, such as cabinet officers, to the lowest In the government, such as day laborers and charwomen, with individuals who had no other recommendation than the endorsement of democratic politicians." The statement said "by common consent the standard of public service in all federal activities is today at the lowest level It has ever been. It called "hypocritical" a statement by President Roosevelt in his recent speech to the young democrats that "we must be loyal riot merely to persons or parties but to the high-sr conception of ability and devotion that modern government requires."
