AUSTRIA SCUTTLES ST. GERMAIN PACT , '8,000 Youths, 21 Years 0ld, Called for Compulsory Military Service. By the Associatzd Press. VIENNA, October 2.—Repudiating the post-war treaty of St. Germain, Austria yesterday called 8,000 youths, | aged 21, to the colors for a period of | compulsory military service. Backed by a promise of full Italian support from Premier Benito Mussolini, | the Austrian government boldly took the treaty-breaking step despite earlier warnings that stiff protests would be forthcoming from the Little Entente. Force Now Put at 50,000. ‘The action was conservatively esti- mated to have raised Austria’s fighting forces to 50,000 men in active service, with an additional 50,000 in reserve and 100,000 trained in the old private armies. By contrast with this sizable force, | the Austrian army until 1933 was well | under the 30,000 allowed by the treaty | of St. Germain. | Ceremonies and addresses stressing | the honor and duty of defending the | war-carved remnants of the once pow- | erful empire against “any eventuality” accompanied the moving into barracks | of the 8,000 new soldiers. Simultaneously, a national campaign | was launched for contributions to build | up the Austrian air force, now esti- | mated at slightly under 200 planes. 8,000 to Be Called. i About 8,000 additional youths, it is| believed, will be called to the colors | later under the new compulsory federal service law, which went into effect | today. | Well-informed sources explained | that the measure was enacted because “it is impossible to allow Austrian youth | further to be subjected to Nazi influ- ences without doing something about | 1. It was pointed out, moreover, that motorized German corps have been posted recently on the German-Aus- trian border, ready for “some even- | tuality in Austria,” and that conse- quently more protection was necessary. | -— | * BROWDER'S LAWYER LEAVES TERRE HAUTE Departs Without Filing Charges of False Arrest Against Mayor and Police Chief.
