DEVELOPMENTS IN CKlSiS By United Press Latest developments in ihe European crisis fol¬ low: Britain, France and Italy agree on a united front to bring Germany back to the family of nations and prevent war by mutual agreements of security and non-aggression. Mussolini gives his answer to Germany by calling a new class to the colors, raising Italy's army to a strength of 660,000. Italy is prepared to call other classes, creating a force of nearly 2,000,000 effectives, counting the Fascist militia.

' Rome, Mar. 23.—UP—Italy called tbe entire military class ot 1911 to the colors today, raising her active army to 660.000 men. In addition, 400 000 Fascist iiiilltln nr" available. The nillitia is like the United Stales National Ouard, nol In service at present but subject to call. Thus Italy could throw more than 1.000.000 men Into the field on short notice. At the same time. Premier Benito Mussolini emphasized Italy's war strencth and her ability to prevent war by being too strong to be at¬ tacked, in a speech to a gathering of black shirt P'ascisls. "It it be clear,"' he said, "that our desire for peace and Kuropean col¬ laboration Is backed by several mil¬ lion bayonets."" IMussollnl. dressed as n corporal of the mllltin on the oct-aslon ot the Ifitli nnniver.sary of Ibe founding of Fascism, made his speech from the balcony of Venice Palace to thou¬ sands of black-shirts assembled In Venice Square. There was Intermittent sunshine through the clouds, and the Premier used the fact as a simile. "Today tbe political weather Is luminous as well as uncertain. Just as this morning's sky," he said. "Italy offers the world a spectacle ot calm because today she Is strong hoth in spirit and arms. I desire tn say to <he whole Italian people that no event whatsoever will find us unprepared. Besides the thousands ot Fascists, numerous detachments ot young Fascists were present, nil equipped with rifles nnd occasionally with maclilne guns. At the end of the speech, there ^vas a vociferous dem¬ onstration, the young Fascists wav¬ ing tlielr rifles and throwing hats in the air. 160,000 More Men Calling ot the entire i-liiss ot 1911 Involves an additional Influx Into the army ot about 160.000 men. Two divisions of the class already are In service In Kast Africa. The total of 660.000 Is reached because ot the recent announcement tbat the class of 1913. which normally would be released on Ai>ril 1. will be retained In service. Those called today were born in 1911 and now are uround 24 years ot age. The calling of the clnss was cx- plulned as having a "precautionary character". A brief communique said: "The head of ihe government. In hla capacity as minister of the arm¬ ed forces, has ordered the <-all to arms of the entire class of 1911. The measure Is of a precautionary char¬ acter."' I'osti-ards were lieing sent to all members of the diss, ordering them (Continued on Page 2 —Sec. 1) E CALLED UNLIKELY BY U.S. ADVISERS Expect Hitler To Effect Rearming With New Agreement To Follow 'WATCHFUL WAITING' (ieneva. >I a r c li 2:!.—I P— Kurope shortly will have I.IIOO,- 000 more men uiidrr arms than on Ihe eve of the World War, an authoritative survey in¬ dicated tonight.

The powers were careful to avoid the appearance ot putting pres.sure on Germany bul it was obvious that her single-handed scrapping ot the Versailles Treaty would not be tolerated and Germany would be asked to Join In an agreement which would modify and replace tho treaty Init still bind her to co-operato towards peace. It was significant Ihat concurrent¬ ly with today's three-power con¬ ference, Italy culled the class ot 1911 to the colors, raising the .strength of her army to 660,000 men. Premier P.enito Mussolini also proclaimed thit Italy's insistence that the nations keep the peace w.as backed hy sev¬ eral million bayonets.

Spry, late Plymouth banker and mining tools manutac- turer, are at stake In the contest being sta.ged by his blonde widow in Orphans" Court It was reported lasl night. From a reliable source came re¬ ports to the Sunday Independent that Investment securities not men¬ tioned In the disputed will—and variously estimated between $100.- 000 and $275,000 In value—will go to the -n-Inner of the bitter fight which started last Wednesday and continues tomorrow morning. Control of these securities will go to the Interests to whom are award¬ ed stock of the Howells Mining Drill Company ot Plymouth, owned by .Spry and thp source of much of his fortune. As part ot the assets ot this company these securities— while actually the property ot Spry —were nnt Included In his will but were indirectly bequeathed through hla distribution of the Howells stock. Securities In the mining drill company's vaults have not yet en¬ tered Into tho contest officially al¬ though It was reported last night that tbclr existence Is generally known tn Interested parties. They are said to be the accumulation of n lifetime of Investments by .'^pry wlilch he credited to the company and which he deposited in the firm's name.

The first \vlll would give her control of the min¬ ing drill conipany and possession nf the Investment securities while the second will, if upheld hy Judyp K. Foster Heller, would Invest control ot the conipany In the other bene¬ ficiaries. That Is the background of the case briefly. Mrs. Spry alleges that when her hiisliand wrotp the will leaving her nis entire estate, with exceiitlnn ot about $20,000 in be¬ quests, he wc.s ot a sound mind. Less than two months later when he drew u|i the second will he was Insane and incompetent to perform such an act, the widow contends.

Jones (Continued on I'cce 2- Sec. 11 Washington, March 23.—UP—The Senate passed the $4,880,000,000 works relict bill today with a bil¬ lion dollar Inflation amendment lacked on as a rider. The billion dollar proposal was accepted by administration leaders to cut short debate which has tied up the bin tor more than a month. They hoped to eliminate the plan in conference with the House. The Inflation feature was a com¬ promise submitted by Senator Elmer Thomas, D., Okla., after his first proposal tor arbitrary pur¬ chases ot 50,000,000 ounces ot silver a month by the Treasury was tabled. The administration accepted the Thomas compromise and Immedi¬ ately whipped through a final vote on the relief bill. The vote was fiS to 16 with Senator Carter Glass, D., Va., In nominal charge ot the measure during Us stormy progress, voting against It. Majority Leader Joseph T. Rob¬ inson adopted hard-boiled tactics to Jam the measure through to a final vote. High pressure was employed to shut off debate after tendencies to filibuster against the bill which appropriates the largest lump sum ever voted to an American Presi¬ dent for single-handed administra¬ tion. Final hours of Senate debate came under the tlireat that Senator Huey P. IjOiig. D., La., might rush back to Washington for a last minute stand against the bill. Stern tactics of Robinson pre¬ vented such a possibility. The two amendments ace-pled without opposition were a compro¬ mise on the 'I'homas Intlatlcn pro¬ posal and an ainendnu-nl by S -na- tor Pat >IcCarran. 1).. .N'ev.. which would subject all high adni:nistra- tive posts of the work-rcUet set up to Senate approval. As the bill moved to conference It appeared acceptable to Preslden' Roosevelt with the exception of the Thomas amendment The administra¬ tion has been cool to the Mi-Carraii nmendment. but this wa.-i not re¬ garded as an lm|>romlu provision. The bill aulhorlzed expenditure of $880,000,000 of already apiiropriated funds for relief during un interim period while President Roosevelt is getting the machinery tor the work program under way. The $1,000,000,000 is provided, a.s the President said In his annual mes.sage fo Coiigre.s.s, to "quit the busine.-is of relief." President Holds I'ouer During the long debate In the .Senate, the bill >Vd;.-. eai marked 'o provide expenditures for specitlc purposes but the authorization is so broad that the President may spend the money tor virtuallyy any iiurpose he desires. Acceptance of the Thomas amend¬ ment was seen as a tai-ticul maneuv¬ er to speed the final vote. It was believed headed for certain elimina¬ tion by the House and Senate con¬ ferees. The Thomas comproml.se provided that the Treasury Issue silver certi¬ ficates to the value ot silver stocks it holds; that ;-illver certificates be kept In circulation; that golil be ti-aded to obtain more silver uimn which certificates could be issued; and that the government accept silver In aettlement ot international balances, Thomas said In offering the plaa that he was advl.sed the Treasury was now buying silver at the rate ot .'iO,000,000 ounces a month and that with purchase.? at that rate bla original measure was i»«t needed. This plan would have made such purchases mandatory. Thomas estimated the Immediate Inflationary effect ot his compromise at $375,000,000 and its potential ex¬ pansion at a billion dollars. The compromise was Jammed through without even the formality of a vote. There may be further dlfflcultlM over the huge bill when the con¬ ference report 13 sent back to th* House and Senate tor final approvaJ. Spending Plan Made The four billion dollar fund waa earmarked as follows: $800,000,000 tor highways and grade crossing elimination. $500,000,000 for rural rehabilit*- tlon and relief In stricken areas. $450,000,000 for housing. ..$300,000,000 to aid white collar workers. $600,000,000 for the Civilian Con¬ servation ('orps. $900,000,000 for projects ot state* and olher political subdivisions. $350,000,000 tor reforestation, flood control, soil erosion, etc. $40,000,000 to keep .schools open. However, the President is allowed to transfer funds trom one category to another up to 20 percent ot each tolal. Only a few changes were made In the body ot the bill from the form in which it w.-cs tirst .siilunitted. \\aKP Issue h'ndcd The long fi.qlil over -McCarran'B prevailing wage propo.sal ended with lius.sage of an amendment providing that on works of a permanent nature Ihe prevailing wage of the particular locality is to be paid and that in no Instance shall Ihe President act to reduce prevailing wages in any locality. The liill extends the P\V.\ for two years, the Relief .Vdministration on* year and the CCt; two year.s. In the final vol ing. 55 Democrats^ 11 Reiiublican.s. one I'rogressive and one I'armer-Laborite voted for tho hill, with 10 Republicans and 3l« Democrats voting against it. One strange quirk of the vote WM that Senator Carter Glass, D., 'V., who has been in charge ot tiM measure during the bitter tight and who has repeatedly sought to speod uii it.s pa.s.sase voted against the blU. The conferees named by the SenatO to conver with the Houoe over tkc bill's final form were: Senators Glass, Kenneth McKellari D., Tenn.; Royal S.
