The Exeter brought many American and European refugees from the war zone and the ship's officers told of two shots fired across her stern by a British patrol boat while the vessel was one hour out of Lisbon, Portugal. f FENSE: Supplies.) , FOUR HORSEMEN: War WAR AT SEA: British Losses Greece is connected to Fascist-hel- d Albania, by three highways running through deep mountain passes. Down thesg three highways marched Mussolinis blackshirt legions in the first week of his war with Greece. Back up the highways hurried what was left of the divisions in the second week. The Greeks, outnumbered two to one, reported they had pushed the invaders back on the northern and central front. On the southern front they also claimed victory, said 'a complete Italian division was surrounded and wiped out. England, still pounded by German warplanes, saw the Tower of London, ancient prison where famous prisoners were confined in the Elizabethan era, smashed by a bomb. One night the raiding planes had an unaccustomed hum. The English guessed they were Italians, a guess confirmed when one was shot down. The Italian onslaught brought demands in London for a raid on Home, treasured architectural city until now protected by agreement. Said George Bernard Shaw, There is no reason why Rome should not have it. If only people were not killed and we could select the places to be bombed, I- would welcome an attack on London. They are knocking down a good many things we should have knocked down ourselves long ago. Germany-wabeing tom by tons of explosives also. When Adolf Hitler visited the Munich beerhall, Nazi shrine, R.A.F. fliers sought out the place and dropped explosives. Hitler cancelled the broadcast of his annual speech. The raiders found the spot just an hour after the address and sent high German officials Britain was not hiding the fact that continued loss of freighter vessels was seriously interfering with the conduct of the overseas supplies. Neutral estimates have put the losses at 3,400,000 tons out of an available 30,000,000. The rate of sinkings has gone up sharply since June. Prime Minister Churchill told commons the losses were more serious than air raids, and said the British must expect even heavier attacks next spring. He sounded out Ireland on the use of bases there but Eire President De Valera rejected the bid. One day Berlin announced that a convoy of 20 British ships had been attacked and sunk. It was believed a sea raider of the pocket battleship type was at large in the north Atlantic. But three days later, London reports of the attack on the same convoy varied greatly from this Berlin dispatch. Said the British; A German pocket battleship overtook a British convoy of 38 ships and a dramatic and heroic episode of the sea was then enacted. The British armed merchant cruiser, Jervis Bay, steamed directly at the more heavily gunned and armored German ship and engaged in combat. Though outclassed, the gallant crew of the Jervis Bay continued shelling their enemy until at least 29 of the other ships of the convoy had made their escape under smoke screens. In the end the Jervis Bay was lost and Captain Fogarty Fegen, wounded in the battle, went down with his ship. - s scurrying to shelters. when Soviet Premier trade and commercial advisers came to Berlin, the route over which their private train passed was bombed. The visiting diplomats escaped injury. The following day Molotoff and Hitler held conference during a three-howhich it is believed the course of the two nations in relation to the Balkan countries was decided. Likewise Molotoff and 32 ur Death The Pale Horseman rode over Europe in more than war. An earthquake shook Rumania killing an estimated 2,000 and causing millions of dollars of property damage. Destroyed also were some of the prolific Rumanian oil wells which have been supplying Adolf Hitler with the gasoline needed for his war machine. . Rumors of changes in the cabinet were given scant attention by President. Roosevelt,, although there are excellent indications some will be made when the new administration houses 'appear, open the session, hear the official prayer, permit speeches to be inserted in the Record and then recess within a few minutes. There is no embarrassing roll call. Agitation for an official adjournment is opposed by Republican leaders as well as many Democrats. They hold cmgress should be in the position of instant action, due to the troublous foreign situation. One bill being worked out in the meantime is the Ramspeck measure for extension of the merit system to cover some 150,000 more government workers. The bill has been passed by both houses and is being delayed because the house wont accept changes made in conference. Final acceptance would make the Roosevelt administration the record-breakfor civil service extension.

It was as Ishmet Pasha that he made his career, changing his name in line with Kemal Ataturks modernization program. A colonel in the Turkish army, he made a perilous passage through hostile lines in 1920, and joined Kemal Ataturk. Jointly, in less than two years, they drove the Greeks out of Anatolia and Smyrna and in the following years built modern Turkey. He was mysteriously benched during Kemal Ataturks last year, but appeared at the helm, with power and prestige unlessened at the latters death. er Debt For the last two years, Germanys clever and resourceful Meanwhile Treasury Secretary Morgenthau warned the ceiling on the federal debt must be raised soon, due to heavy defense spending. A formal treasury request for new taxes and a higher debt limit probably $60,000,000,000 is not expected until next January however. The present congress has voted almost $17,000,000,000 for defense. Morgenthau said the treasury has no idea of asking congress to pass a retroactive tax on government securities. ( NEW STATE: Hawaii Votes for the next war wont and squads right or left. As Maj. Gen.

The word has been that the astute President Inonu has always been a jump or two ahead of him and that Turkey hasnt been readied for the kill in the manner of other small powers. The president has fostered carefully the Turkish hegemony over the Moslem bloc, and whenever the Axis powers kick Islam in the face, his people know about it.
