AUSTRIAN ARMY REORGANISING

VON STARHEMBERG ACTS TO OUST REBELS

Salzburg, Austria, May 26.

Prince von Starhemberg, Austria's vice-Chancellor and commander-in-chief of the Heimwehr, acting under the laws of a dictatorship, announced to-day that he would dismiss all doubtful elements from Austria's, military organisations.

His campaign is aimed particularly against the

Nazi influences which have crept into the Heimwehr.

There will be a great rally of the Fatherland Front

and the Heimwehr, Prince von Starhemberg states, and

after its conclusion the recruits of all armed formations enlisted after February 1, 1934, will be dismissed.

Thus, says Prince von Starhom-

berg, all the so-called private

armies of the state will be aban- doned: or, rather, the cream of these forces will be fused in one. organisation under direct control of the Government and the Minis- ter for War.

The reorganisation will take

FAILING?

PRESIDENT TALKS WITH CABINET CHIEFS

Paris, May 26.

Just when France is entering upon a most serious financial crisis, the most threatening since M. Raymond Poincare took the helm in 1926, rumours are current that the Government may resign,

M. Flandin's poor health is at present the greatest handicap to the Government, though he is courageously trying to maintain the terrific pace required of him. The Prime Minister is able to attend to business at home, but must avoid fatiguing travel by motor car, because the vibration impedes the setting of his re- cently badly broken arm.

It is considered possible in well-informed circles that he may decide to make way for a fitter man in the moment of crisis.
