U. S. Withholds olds Legal

Approval of Union

WASHINGTON. March 19 (U. P.). —Secretary of State Cordell Hull indicated today the United States will not, for the present at least, recognize the legality of Germany's annexation of Austria.

The indication came after Austrian Minister Edgar Prochnik had advised Secretary Hull that the affairs of the Austrian Legation have ‘been absorbed by the German Embassy. y Secretary Hull indicated the German Embassy as the representative mission of Austria but will go no further toward recognizing the union. Secretary Hull said this Government would handle in a practical manner the mechanics of legal and commercial intercourse between Austria and the United States but indicated this did: not involve the larger question of the legality, of the union of the two countries. Secretary Hull said the developments in Austria were a matter “of serious concern to the Goverment of the United States.” He indicated that recognition of the German Embassy's assumption both of the property and the duties of the Austrian legation here

and did not affect the larger issues.

29-Year-Wait Nets Full

Debt to Firm.

29-year-old ghost walked today at the Eaglefield & Shepard Lumber Co. 118 E. 30th St. It was a substantial little international . ghost—worth $165—and it sent company officials scurrying to dusty ledgers to identify it. This, Oscar Brunson, company ‘maager, said, is what happened, beginning in: 1909. : William Fells owned a planing mill then at Iowa St. and Barth Ave. lumber from the company and then, because of business reverses, left Indianapolis. The company records show they turned the account over to a lawyer for collection and then, some “time latér, wrote it off. That’s the way things went along until today. In walked Don Stolter, 1222 Union St., an uncle of Mr. Fells. He had a letter and $165 cash from Mr. Fells, postmarked Saskatchewan, Canada. The letter instructed Mr. Stolter to pay the company the money and said the debt had worried him “all these years but I never have been able to scrape that much together that I could spare.” It also said that Mr. Fells is now moving to Alaska and Mr. Stolter surmised that Mr. Fells has sold his §40-acre farm in - Canada. The extra $5 was: for interest.

1 Poland Expected

To Recall Troops

WARSAW, March 19 (U. P).— Lithuania today accepted a Polish ultimatum on restoration of relations and removed, in doing so, a grave threat to the peace of Europe. A formidable Polish Army was massed on Lithuania's frontier and the Polish battle fleet was steaming off Memel, chief Lithuanian port, when the Lithuanian Minister at Tallinn, Esthonia, handed to the Polish Minister there, his country’s acceptance of Poland's demand. The note was handed to the Polish minister at 4 a. m. (Indianapolis Time)—10 hours before the expiration of the 48-hour ultimatum sent to Lithuania Thursday night. Troops Recall Expected

As the result of the Lithuanian

note, it was expected that within

48 hours Poland would recall the troops massed on the Lithuanian frontier. ; . The ultimatum and the Lithuanian answer to it were exchanged at Tallinn, the Esthonian capital, in the absence of direct diplomatic relations. Acceptance came in the note which, for purposes of official form, was signed both by the Polish and Lithuanian Ministers at Warshaw. The note was as follows: “By order of my Government 1 have the honor to state that the Lithuanian Government has decided today to establish normal diplomatic relations between Lithuania and Poland and for that purposes establishes a Lithuanian Legation at Warsaw. The Lithuanian Minister duly credited in Warsaw - will present his credentisls before

KAUNAS, Lithuania, March 19 (U. P.).—The Lithuanian Parliament accepted Poland’s ultimatum today “under Polish pressure and -in view of the international situation.” : A resolution to that effect was introduced in the Seimas (Parliament) and passed, after Vice Premer Jokubas Stanischaukis had made a statement saying: “In view of the international situation, the Lithuanian Government felt compelled to accept the Polish proposal.” The Vice Premier read the ultimatum and a draft of the Lithuanian note in reply, the form of which had been stipulated in the ultimatum. While the Seimas met. in a crowded chamber, a large crowd waited "silently outside the building. Members of the Lithuanian Nationalistic volunteers’ League ° distributed handbills urging the population not to succumb to Poland's demands and to take up arms to oppose a possible Polish invasion.
