Fol lowing the legend of Mo-bammed and the mounta in , fire­men of Douglas ton . when they found they were unable to get w a t e r to a fire Thursday , towed the fire to the wa te r .

Police and passersby a t t emp ted to pu t out the fire with ext in f r i t t e r s but they fough t a losing

bat t le so they summoned the Fi re D e p a r t m e n t .

The tire laddies a t t empted to pu t out the s tubborn blaze with chemicals but the i r efforts were futile. They then a t tached a hose to a hydran t but found the re was no wa te r .

Undaunted , and somewhat irk­ed, the firemen hooked a chain to the burn ing automobi le and towed it to a hydran t a qua r t e r of a mile away which did have water . Then thev queiched the fire.

But by t h a t t ime the car had oeen dest royed.

Nazi Fuehre r Adolf Hit ler reaa «ured Europe today tha t Germany will avoid any hasty blow aga ins t CzecOoslovakia tha t might sLar ;

another world war. Au thor i t a t ive sources in Berlin

disclosed that assurances had been given Grea t Britain that N a s i ; would awai t the outcome of nego i l lat ions at P rague for se t t lement of the minori ty quar re l . In re tu rn—and of vital importance— Britain appa ren t ly promised that her mediator . Viscount R unci man would make a report bv mid-Sip tomber.

The action appeared to h a w postponed for two weeks at least the dange r of a sudden, violen cl imax to the minori ty crisis and emphasized belief of Nazis tha* in event of a deadlock such as appears probable a t P r a g u e the Runciman report will ge far to­ward bols ter ing Germany 's posi tion. It might improve G e r m a n y ' ; prospects of winning her objec tives without war.

The a t t i t ude of Berlin was dis closed coincident with two othei impor tan t developments on the in­ternat ional front:

1—Hitler and high Nazi official', met a t Berchtesgadeh with Czech Nazi Leader Konrad Henlein fo. v\ hat was described as a "review of minori ty negot ia t ions a t Pra­gue. Al though Sudeten part i-leaders have said the Czech gov e rnmen t ' s la test proposals v\ere unsa t i s fac tory and counter sug-gest ions a re expected, it was not believed any definite decision* would be announced immediately.

2—Premie r Benito Mussolini, of I taly, pa r tne r of Hitler in the Nazi -Fasc is t bloc, carried forward a sweeping racial p rogram by A new ser ies of cabinet decrees :n tended to drive all J ews—na t ive as well as foreign—from Italia^. cul tural life.

Mussolini 's ant i -Semit ic prog-ram has become one of the most puz­zling developments in Euroi>e. Ob­servers have been unable to a s ­sign a reason for an I ta l ian purge of J ews—they number not mucH more than one to every 1,000 I ta l ­ians—except to d is t ract a t ten t ion from some major Fascis t difficulty
