Fearson and Allen are furious with J. J. OConnor of N.Y. They claim to have a certified copy of a letter from O'Connor (part of the Kansas court record) in which the recently wrote U. S.

Your Girl Friday. The most illustrative underground story circulated in Germany is about the time Goering visited the director of an important munitions plant and asked him if there were still any Social Democrats, Catholic Cen-trisor members of the other outlawed parties among his workers . . . Well," said the director, about 40 per cent of the workers in my factory are Social Democrats, about 30 per cent Catholic Centrists, and about 30 per cent are still members of the other outlawed parties . . . Forty per cent, 30 per cent, and 30 per cent? bellowed Goering. That makes 100 per cent!

This so infuriated the conquerors that they issued an edict forbidding Frenchmen to leave a cafe for at least 15 minutes after the entrance of a German officer a German . After that, whenever officer entered a cafe, the Frenchmen present would reach into their pockets and pull out small alarm clocks, which they set and placed on the table. At the end of 15 minutes, the alarms would go off all over the place, and the Frenchmen would rush for the doors! In Holland, on Prince Bernhards birthday, all loyal Dutch citizens wore a white carnation, the princes favorite flower, as a symbol of defiance to the Nazis. Angered by this display of insolence on the part of the conquered people, the Nazis went around tearing the carnations A from the coats of passersby short while later, Dutch sailors made their appearance on the streets and in cafes with carnations prominently displayed on their chests. The Nazis soon desisted from tearing them off . . . The carnations worn by the sailors contained ingeniously concealed razor blades. ... MORE ON By DONREID LAWNFELL (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) WASHINGTON, D. C. En- rollment of 500,000 U. S. civilians as volunteer observers for the army air corps is proceeding under the direction of Lieut. Gen. Delos C. Emmons, commander of the general headquarters air force, whose headquarters is at Bolling Field, D. C. Thus a million eyes and ears join in another forehanded step in the accelerated national defense program. The war department asserts it has no desire to alarm the general public, but points out that the active of the citizenry at large is needed for the success of national defense measures. Organization of this volunteer corps will constitute a nationwide civilian force who will act as spotters for the four air forces of the army air corps. They will be affiliated with the interceptor commands of each air force. Modern Paul Reveres. These modern Paul Reveres who are being welded into a compact unit of defense minutemen and minutewomen, may not adopt the slogan, One if by land, two if by sea. But their words in the mouthpiece of a crank driven model telephone from an Iowa farmhouse, or a terse message from a shiny new dial instrument in New Jersey, will send fighter commands, artillery and balloon squadrons into action. From the rooftops of their homes. In the towers of churches ancT skyscrapers, on prairies, farms, fields and beaches, Mr. and Mrs. Average American Citizen will watch for that speck and listen for that telltale hum that may reveal the presence of an air enemy. Patriotic organizations like the American Legion, and their womens auxiliaries, forest fire wardens, weather observers, CCC and the coast guard, would of course, cooperate in flashing an alarm to headquarters. Public utilities, telegraph, telephone, railway and light and power systems will take an enormous part in the warning system, for the alarm flashed would be sent over their communications. The importance of cannot be says the war department. To know where the attacking force is poised, where it strikes and where it may be expected to strike, is essential for defense of the country. Here is where the volunteer watchers play a vital role. Organized in their home communities, in grid fashion, they will man listening and watching posts in established time shifts. At the first sign of danger, they will call "Army Flash into their telephones. In time of attack they would maintain their positions and continue their reports of the enemys movements, concentration, numbers, etc. Flan Is Workable. This method of aircraft warning has already been tested and proved feasible. An experiment was held in the New York-NeEngland region, under the supervision of Maj. Gen. James E.

Thus they are enabled to chart defense and attack plans, from a subterranean nerve center, protected from air raids by thick steel and concrete overhead. air-for- of the First air force. A corps of civilian observers was organized by the American Legion, to work with the army. The American Telephone Telegraph company and its affiliated companies handled the communications over their network. Results were excellent and the experience and knowledge gained from the tests, laid the groundwork for the present program. Also taken into consideration were methods used abroad, as reported by American army officers stationed there. Air Defense. Modern air defense is divided basically into active and passive phases. Included in the active phase is the defensive attack, carried out by fighter planes. It embraces also the network of civilians giving the warnings of enemy aircraft. artillery, pouring barrages of exploding steel into the skies, and balloon barrages that compel enemy aircraft to fly too high for effectiveness, partly complete the picture of active defense. To obtain information of the movements of hostile air threats, to attack these threats in the air, to provide simultaneous protection of all sensitive home areas, will be the objectives of these agencies of acin a comtive defense. bined effort, they will make possible a positive, aggressive and coto sweep enordinated counter-bloemy fighters and bombers from the skies. Close liaison will be maintained with the agencies engaged in passive defense. To them, also, warnings of approaching enemy aircraft are vital. They will warn the civilian population and industry, warn home guards, police, fire- departand medical workments, anti-ga- s ers to stay on the alert at their stations. They will enforce blackouts of lighting and radio broadcasting which might guide enemy aircraft to their targets. This is a phase of civilian air raid defense, however, for which separate, detailed plans will, be made. The Four Air Forces. The First air force is commanded by Maj. Gen. James E. Chaney.

Each air force is divided into two components, a bomber command, which is controlled by the air force commander, and an interceptor which includes fighter command, planes or pursuit aviation, artillery and balloon barrages, anti-aircra- ft A the outbreak of the war, European capitals buzzed with reports of a German offer to Britain to make peace, then turn their united forces against Soviet Russia. These reports were not empty rumors; they were absolutely true. Behind them Is a story of the most audacious and astounding Nazi intrigue of the war to date. Its opening scene was the sensational Hess flight to Britain; its closing paragraph the surprise Nazi declaration of war on their ally. Red Russia. The inner details of this brain- reeling plot are not yet unraveled and all of them wont leak out until the history books are written. But authorities have pieced it together and it is now possible to get the main outlines. Hatred of Communists. Following the victorious Balkan campaign which made Germany master of Europe, powerful military-Naz- i elements, always hating the Communists, began urging peace with Britain in exchange for a erman coalition against Russia. After a bitter struggle inside the Nazi party, Hitler sided with the anti-Re- d group and the wheels were set in motion to line up the British. It was realized that they would have to be approached in such a manner that they could not doubt the authenticity of the Nazi plan. So Hess was chosen for this mission. Not only was he the one man in Germany closest to Hitler, but he was also known for his hatred of And before the war Communism. he had had contacts with the British n British-G- nobility. So Hess, not flying alone, but accompanied by several guiding planes; and not taking off from cen- tral Germany as reported, but from Norway, made his dramatic descent on the estate of the Scotch duke of Hamilton. Hess Message. The message brought by Hess in substance was as follows: (1) Britain and Germany would enter a coalition as the chief part ners in a new Axis; (2) Italy would be placated with some minor possessions of France, which would be stripped of its empire; (3) Germany would retain a free hand on the whole of the continent, with Britain helping to establish that free hand by joining Germany in conquering Russia. The British governments answer was to incarcerate Hess and immediately notify Washington and Mob-co- w of the plan. The subsequent chain of events is history.
