Warsaw, Poland, Aug. 25.—(P)— American embassy officials took up with the Polish government Tuesday reports that Mrs. Dorothy Atkinson of Minneapolis has been sentenced at Ostrow to one year in prison for alleged violation of Polish currency regulations. .

EXPANSION OF NAZI. | ARMY CAUSES NEW CONCERN IN EUROPE Hitler’s Decree Doubling Mili- tary Term Puts Conflict in Sharp Relief AIMED AT SOVIET RUSSIA Loyalists, Rebels Continue to Broadcast Conflicting Claims of Victory (By the Associated Press) Diplomatic proposals designed to check brutality of Spain’s fierce civil war were authoritatively reported Tuesday to be the subject of com- munications between France and Great Britain. The foreign affairs committee of the British cabinet was believed to have taken the proposals under con- sideration. They originated among Giplomats accredited to Madrid now, at Hendaye, France, under the leader- ship of the Argentine envoy to Spain. Since the war started in Spain, there have been frequent reports of the mistreatment of prisoners and civillans by both the Socialist govern- ment and the Fascist rebels. It is these violations of interna- tional rules of war which the pro- posals are designed to check: not the war itself. Civil fires burned on in Spain to- ward their ultimate Fascist or Social- ist embers in a European atmosphere made suddenly more breathless by Nazi-decreed expansion of the Ger- man army. Conflict in Sharp Relief Not connected directly with the civil war between Spain’s Socialist government, supported by Commun- ists and the military rebels who carry the banner of Fascism, Adolf Hitler's doubling - of the. universal. term in the reich sérved, nevertheless, to throw the whole international con- filet between Right and Left into sharp relief. His decree of two years compulsory. service under arms was aimed directly at what the Nazis called aggressive Soviet Russian militarism. Leftist France, thrown into new concern by the ukase, reckoned that in 1937, the reich’s fighting men would total 1,200,000, or nearly twice the French strength of 605,000. Reich authorities, however, estimated the military measure would mean a Ger- man army of between 700,000 and 800,000. Soviet Russia, to which France is bound by treaty ties of mutual assist- ance, has an estimated fighting force cf 1,300,000, largest in the world. In Moscow, commentators said the Hit- ler decree showed “how intensively Germany prepares for war.” Priest Arrested Madrid dispatches told of the arrest by the.

Walter Welford said here Monday. “I was deeply grieved to hear of the death of Governor Olson, Welford said. “It Nas beenmy privilege dur- ing the last year and a half to have come in contact with him on several occasions,” he said. “I learned to admire him for his outstanding ability. I look upon his death as a distinct loss to the people not only of our sister state but to the entire nation. “We in North Dakota have been deeply appreciative of the cooperation which Governor Olson had given us in all matters per- taining to water conservation and other mutual problems of the two states,” Governor Welford said. “I have had 29 years of business experience, and legislative experience, and should be amply qualified for the office.

(Ding) Darling, former chief of the bureau of biological survey, said in a radio discussion that the water con- servation program in the drouth area of North Dakota was in the hands of “political administrators.” Darling spoke Tuesday night on 8 Republican national committee pro- gram.

Then he added “But this scientific water conser: vation program, in spite of the lessons by numerous past years of officers said, pausing only when Mrs. Olson, her 15-year-old daughter Pa- tricia, and a party of relatives and friends of the late governor, advanced Saturday at Rochester.
