Resignation of Niceto ‘Alcala Za- mopa and the designation of Man- uel Azana as his successor in the presidency was quickly followed by a resurgence of feeling for and agaipst the church. The phantom of “home ' rule for provinces rose simyltaneously like a wraith. The ‘Azana regime was faced at onee with discontent in the strong- |1y Catholic provinees of Basque and Navarre while Catalonia, originator of the home rule idea wondered what ‘might happen to its cause with (Alcala Zamora, counted as friendly, resigned from his place of power. Azana Has Hobby The rightists in the new repub- lic gre showing signs' of cohesion whidh’ may resuli in a stronger op- pos bloc in the constitutional ass¢] ‘They are rallying on the re nice that Azana was cred- ited drafting the anti-church c!auag whose adoption led to the change. The new head of the provisional state is a lawyer with a hobby. For years, while Alfonso XIII still sat op the throne jhe devoted his spare time to a study of army organiza- tion, writing whole books about it. 8ix months ago when Alfonso moved to Paris, Alcala Zamora gave him an opportunity to put his ideas {n practice by making him Secretary of War. The main idea developad by 'Auna was that there were too many officers in the Spanish army. He proceeded to reduce their num- ber drastically. Says Republic Is Solid But the net result was to great- ly strengthen the fighting arm of {the service. Observers have seén as one result a new esprit de corps in the rank and file and they look upon the army now as one of the chief stabilizing influences of the young republic. Azana himself has no doubt on that point. He declares that the republic is as firm as a rock and that it will be his object to keep it so. He is getting much right hand support from the new minister of the interlor, Casares Quiroga. The latter was secrciary of the navy un- der Alcala Zamora and when Mig- uel Maura followed the president’s tesignation by handing in his own papers, Quiroga went up a notch. EDWARD FAHRNI SAID TQ BE IN OLNES NOW {Edward Fahrni, for whom rel tives. in Switzerland recently .made inquiry, lives at Olnes, about 25 miles from Fairbanks, Alaskd, ac- cording to John Satre of Juneau. Mr. Fahrni's relatives in Switzer- land sent their inquiry to Joseph Apton, Divisional Commander of the Salvation Army, and he gave publicity to it in The Empire. ‘Mr. Batre came into the news- paper office late yesterday after- figon with the information that Mr. [Fahrni is in Olnes. e ——— MBNTION EASTERN STARS Juneau Chapter No. 7, O.
