GERMANY MUST NOT FORTIFY RHINE

HITLER'S PROMISE TO KEEP PEACE DOUBTED

Ordinaver.

Paris, April 5.

France is prepared for possible military action in the event of Chancellor Adolf Hitler defying the powers further and again violating the Rhineland accord by fortifying that area.

It is expected that the French delegation to the General Staff conversations in London will demand that the three nations which are pledged to one another's aid in the event of German aggression-Britain, France and Belgium-shall sternly warn Germany that re- fortification of the Rhineland will not be tolerated, under threat of joint action.

It is reported in London that an official of the British Government sounded the German emissary, Herr von Ribbentrop, upon whether Herr Hitler would be willing to revise future editions of his book, "Mein Kampf."

Revision would ease the international situation, it is felt; and Herr Hitler might be well advised to tone down the fiery passages of his literary work which give rise to foreign anxiety.

Speakers and writers throughout Europe cite this book of Herr Hitler's as proof that his intentions are not really pacific.--United Press.

San Francisco, Apr. 5.

All sixteen of the passengers of the burning steamer Tricolor, bound from Manila, Hongkong and Shanghai to America, are safe aboard the rescue vessel, Yarra- ville.

After standing by the Tricolor all night, unable to take off the passengers on account of the heavy seas and the darkness, the Yarraville closed up to the distressed vessel and took aboard the passengers.

The Yarraville reports the Tricolor's crew remained with their ship and will try to navigate her to either Honolulu or Yokohama, fighting the fire all the way.

The fire has not worsened, as far as can be ascer tained. Reuter,

The United Press reports that the Yarraville has removed the Tricolor's passengers, but that the crew of the latter vessel is remaining aboard in spite of the danger from the fire in the hold.
