Nazi Attempts to Rule Viennese Said to Be Ended.
WAR THREAT LESSENED
Hitler Reported to Have Approved Three<Fold Agreement.
(Copyright, 1938, by United Press) VIENNA, July 11—Germany and Austria made peace today, ending many years of strife over Nazi attempts to rule this land. Chancellor Adolf Hittler's agreement to keep hands off Austria was confided to Austrian Chancellor Kurt Schuschnigg by Col. Franz Von Papen, Reich minister to Vienna. It may drastically alter European political alignments and avert the threat of a European war. The agreement was reached in conferences conducted immediately after Von Papen arrived from consultations with Hitler at De Fuehrer's villa at Berchtesgaden, Ger-
Held Aid to Peace The agreement was regarded as a tremendous, contribution to European peace. It settles a problem which, with the exception of the Rhineland, was considered Europe’s most potential war danger. It also smooths the way for Western European powers to settle their difficulties with Hitler. : Considerable speculation centered today on whether the Austro-Ger-man pact would mention Schuschnigg’s desire to restore the Hapsburg monarchy to power in Austria. German and Italian support of plans to bring Archduke Otto of - Hapsburg back to, the throne of his fathers, it was believed, would do much’ to nullify the determined opposition of the Little Entente. , At their conference today Papen and Schu completed the draft of the: peace pact, which now requires only the’ res of Hitler and the Aus-

A pledge by the German government and the Nazi Party not to interfere in Austria’s internal affairs. 3. Disavowal by Hitler of the Nazi movement in Austria. Official details of the accord may be announced tonight, possibly in the form of a speech by a member of the Austrian government. Papen conferred with Hitler yesterday. It was believed Hitler will

cord in a speech to be made about July 29. Great interest attached to the Austro-German pact because of its probable bearing on Italo-German relations. Italy is the avowed protector of Austrian independence. Should Hitler and Schuschnigg agree that the Nazis will keep hands off Austria, it was believed the way would be paved for an Italo-German agreement. Thus Germany, Austria and’ Italy would be drawn together in a new and formidable European loc. Diplomats noted what they termed unmistakable signs : that Italy was strengthening her friendship with Germany. An AustroGerman pact of amity, it was considered, would hasten the process. Ccaincident with important AustroGerman conversations in Vienna, similarly important Italo-German gonsuliations were occurring in me,

Duce’s Dream of Easy Pacification.
(Copyright. 1936, by United Press) ROME, July 11.—Ethiopian warriors, waging Implacable warfare against Italian forces of occupation, forced Marshal ‘Rodolfo Graziani, viceroy of Ethiopia, to put his armgies back on a war footing today. Only two days after he ordered the demobilization of 100,000 Black Shirts, Graziana found his armies, bogged down in “chika,” knee deep mud, at the height of the Eehiopiar rainy season. The lull following the war of occupation and conquest, which was climaxed by the flight of Emperor Haile Selassie and Italian capture of Addis Ababa, ‘has ended. The war of pacification has begun. The massacre at Jimma, where 20 Italian aviators, including high ranking officers, were ambushed and killed, and serious uprisings along the Addis Ababa-Djibouti railroad, Ethiopia’s life line to the sea, shattered Italian dreams that the ‘paci-
fication of Ethiopia would be an easy task. ¢
Noted for Rathlessness
Graziani, hard-bittén colonial soldier, is noted for his Authlessness in quelling uprisings and avenging native attacks on: Italian
commander of pacification forces in} Ttalian Somaliland,
where] his troops took wholesale reprisals ‘against rebels. ‘He now faces the same job in rain-sodden Ethiopia, Airplane bombing squadrons and infantry ‘columns, aided by Galla tribesmen loyal to the Italian conquerors, have avenged in blood the Jimma massacre. But heavy fighting ‘between Italian troops and bands of Ethiopian fighters continues along the railway. Official dispatches reported the necessity of sending an Italian column fo occupy Collubi in the Harrar region. The move was not explained but it was considered prompted by necessity of subduing warriors formerly: under the command of Dedjazmach Nasibu on the southern front. They held Graziani at bay in the south until after the Negus abandoned his armies.
Many Reported Killed
Reports from. Djibouti, French somaliland, reflected Addis Ababa advices that many were killed when Ethiopian soldiers fought a severe battle with. Italian forces , near Harrar. It was reported also that the railway between Dire: Dawa and Addis Ababa has been cut by Ethiopian guerrillas and may not be repaired for some time. The raiders tore up tracks, blew up bridges and carried off miles of telephone wire. Traffic is normal between Dire Dawa and Djibouti. Bands of Ethiopian raiders also cut Italian communications between Addis Ababa and Dessye, former |. field heaaquarters of Emperor Haile Selassie. A battle impended near Modjo, tiny station on the railroad between Addis Ababa and Dire Dawa, where large bands of Ethiopian warriors have cut the line and successfully resisted Italian efforts to dislodge them. Graziani dispatched reenforcements to engage the Ethiopians, who have prevented efforts of Italian enginers to rstor traffic on the damaged railroad.
