8 EUROPE AGAIN THROWN INTO CRUCIAL STATE Nazis Reported Whipped to War Passion Over In- cident on Border HINT GIVEN HITLER PLANNING NEW COUP Situation Admittedly Tense as Great Britain Hur- ries Into Action BERLIN, May 21. — Nazi news- papers have whipped the German nation into an anti-Czech feeling of white glow with an account of a reported clash between German forces and Czech soldiers near Komotau on the Czecholovakian- German border. Approximately & hundred are said to have been injured. The situation is held to be grave as the state-controlled Nazi press apparently has been given leave to stir up tension. Czech official sources minimized the incident and described the flur- ry as localized and unimportant LONDON ALARMED LONDON, May 21.—Foreign Se retary Halifax has returned hur- riedly to the foreign office here and taken the helm of the British for- eign policy personally in face of the increasingly dangerous German- Czech situation. It is reported here that the Czech Guards have been called out as well as a general call issued to Czech reserves. Reports stated further that sandbag barricades have been thrown up on the Czech roads between Eger and Pilsen. An authoritative Czechoslovakian source in London said it was not believed that Hitler had planned a coup for this week-end, but added, “you can’t be sure of anything.” MRS.

The bulk of a $147,000 dollar total from January T to May 31, last year, was made up of business building construction, and included such costly projects as the Willoughby Avenue Standard Oil Plant and dock, and the Alaska Juneau boiler house, which were constructed at, costs of over $35,000 and $15,000 res- | pectively. The Feldon Apartments, with building permit cost estimate of $12,000, and the Mead Apartments at Sixth and Park, coting $11,000, were other projects of 1937 large proportionally in comparison with this year’s minor dwelling repairs and additions. | Largest single item of expendi- ture on this year's list of building permits is a sum of $6,431 which wil! build a dwelling with full concrete al basement for Ken Junge at 604 tomoirow afternoon at 5:30, when!

Deputy Marshal Walter Hellan said today that the Rev. A. P. Kash- evaroff had positively identified the two skulls brought in from Johnson Creek, a short distance above Mary Joyce's lodge, as skulls of Indians, probably buried for 60 years. The “peculiar sawed” bone, at first believed by some to have been an arm bone, ground which there were bits of quarter inch rope, was de- | cided to have been a “drumstick” of sorts for beating on Indian drums of years past.
