Some were reported today to hold it imperative that preventive steps be . Instituted at once to avert an outbreak of war. The various diplomatic "clouds" and the danger of giving the im pression in Moscow that Europe is forging a united front against Russia has led to brakes being put on the original plan to take for mal collective action denouncing communistic propaganda abroad. It is considered likely, however, that Dr. Casta v Stresemann, the German foreign minister, will in form M. Tchitcherin, Soviet for eign minister, of the high state of feeling which the activities of the third international are revoking through Europe, and warn him in a friendly manner that it Is re acting against Russia. It is understood that Poland, which has been striving to nego tiate a pact of non-aggression with Russia, has been vigorously emphasizing the unwisdom of an gering Russia by even any appear ance of hostility to her. Poland contends that such an attitude would only intensify the Russian national spirit in the same way as did the military in terventions at the close of the great war; The truth is the foreign minis ters of the European powers are finding the communist problem the hardest and most elusive of all fo solve. Each of them has revealed a state of communistic activity in his own country, and together they have gone over ways and means of fighting communism by methods similar to those used In their homelands.

Memphis MILL DIRECTORS TO MEET TODAY WILL DISCUSS PLAN'S FOR RAISING NEEDED FUND Linen Manufacture Going Well and New Markets for Product Seen In line with the recent decision of the stockholders of the Oregon Linen Mills" Inc., authorizing the raising pf not to exceed $150,000 for meeting running expenses and p'aylng present indebtedness, the board of directors will meet today to discuss ways and means of rais ing the required funds, it was an nounced yesterday. Just what plan of action will be followed is hot known. The first plan suggested was to give;; a $150,000 first mortgage on theJ plant, but this plan, it is felt by some of the directors, is not feas ible. However, it is believed that the meeting today will bring forth a satisfactory plan. The first linen woven by the mill Was placed on the local mar ket last week. According to T. B. Kay, president of the mill com pany, the manufacturing end of the mill has passed beyond the ex perimental stage. The f machin ery is working well, employees have been given a thorough train ing in its operation, and the linen produced is of the best, he reports. Further development depends R upon the market for the goods, and upon the securing of suffi cient working capital. The market for Oregon linen is opening up, according to Mr. Kay, who is also a major stockholder in the Miles Linen company. Fish twine made by that concern is suc cessfully competing with that of eastern firms, and negotiations are now being made with a big east ern firm for a large order of a special grade of twine. Several other good orders have recently been secured from north west dealers by J. F. Galbraith, superintendent and sales manager of the Miles Linen company.
