The friendly lights within the tavern burn But you and all my clan are long away. And yet an urge I know not bids me go To force again an old, familiar door, And watch time's current In Its ceaseless flow Though time has lost Its meaning long before; I raise my drink and shyly stand alone And search my heart for memories mem-ories of you. Remembering the nights we made our own Remembering a dreamy rendezvous rendez-vous When people turned their heads to watch you pass . . . And wine was on your lips . . . And to my glass! DON WAIIN.

Maybe you'll remember me in collaboration with the late Nan O'Reilly of the Journal-American, I wrote and produced 'Four O'Clock at the Biltmore theater in 1934. I worked on the Daily Mirror in New York when it was down on the Row. Hullo to Bill Farnsworth and all the others who might recall re-call my name. Hullo, too, to Mr. and Mrs. America.

One, an old-timer, comes every ev-ery Sabbath for his $25. Allen often wished he could get rid of the guy. A few Sundays ago the fellow didn't show up at the usual 4 peem and Fred got nervous and almost hysterical. He phoned the police to help trace him and sent friends searching all over town. When they found the truant, Allen yelled at him, "Don't ever worry me that way again!" Last Laugh Dept. Before the last war Lord Beaver-brook, Beaver-brook, the London publisher and statesman, was in the rell estate business in Montreal. He had been proposed for membership in the Mount Royal club (Canada's most exclusive kleb, sir) and had been blackballed. Beaverbrook never forgot the rebuff. The following year he went to England and began his brilliant career.

Wayne King Carol II of Rumania Abdicates As Fascist Iron Guard Effects Coup; House Votes 60-Day Volunteer Plan Before Launching of Peacetime Draft (EDITOR'S NOTE When optnioni re expressed in these columns, they ire those ot the news analyst and not necessarily ol this newspaper.) (Rple.iBgd by Western Newspaper Union. , BALKANS: Coup Shots fired at the palace of King Carol of Rumania followed anxious days in the Balkans, during which Rumania accepted a Berlin-Rome dictated agreement transferring part of Transylvania to Hungary. Included in the agreement was a guarantee to Rumania by Germany that its shrunken borders would be guaranteed against further demands by anyone. With a "Who, me?" expression, ex-pression, Soviet Russia looked over the fence from Bessarabia and Northern Bakovina, which it earlier had seized from Rumania. Even this did not satisfy the king's enemies. Two days later King Carol II announced the appointment of Gen. Ion Antonescu as the new military mili-tary dictator of the country. Carol retained only a few unimportant governmental tasks. But still crowds of angry rioters shouted in the public square around the Rumanian palace and the political politi-cal "outs" clamored for more changes. Finally it was announced that King Carol had abdicated. Stepping Step-ping down from the throne he was succeeded by his son Michael, 18 years of age, who once before ruled his nation as "the boy king" when his father renounced the right to the throne in 1925. The coup against Carol was by Fascists who sought to take over Rumania at once and liquidate the entire situation. M-DAY: Men Effects of the war will be brought to hundreds of thousands of American Amer-ican homes this month. For the first time in U. S. peace time history young men will be called from their jobs and schools to serve at least one year in the nation's military forces. First is the National Guard, 60,500 officers and men from 26 states being be-ing the initial cadre going on active service beginning September 16. Later more will be called until 250,-000 250,-000 are in the field. Meanwhile 11,000,000 will have registered under the conscription measure. Once set up, the draft machinery will turn fast. First call will be for a gradual enlistment of 400,000. An additional 500,000 will follow before spring. A few days after the senate had approved the Burke-Wadsworth bill which would call up these first U. S. peacetime conscripts, the house of representatives tacked an amend- Here is a scene typical of armories throughout the nation as the national guard prepares for mobilization. This picture was taken in the rifle room of the 24ith coast artillery armory, Aew York national guard as soldiers checked over weapons as one of the first steps in arrangements to answer their 'call to arms." ment to the bill which provided that voluntary enlistments be given a 60-day 60-day trial before the draft was begun. Under the terms of this amendment, if the army's quota was not filled within 60 days the draft would automatically auto-matically go into effect to make up the difference between enlistments and the required number of soldiers. Thus the bill was shuttled back to the senate for consideration of this amendment Barracks To get these men into the cantonments canton-ments the President also acted without with-out waiting for congress.

HISTORY: War Swap In an agreement declared to be the most momentous in American history since the Louisiana Purchase, Pur-chase, the United States traded war- Ililjlliillpllll ATTORNEY GENERAL JACKSON His opinion "nlade it legal." ships to Great Britain for Western hemisphere air and naval bases. To the U. S. came: Ninety-nine-year leases in Newfoundland, New-foundland, Bermuda, the Bahamas, Jamaica, St. Lucia, Trinidad, Antigua, Anti-gua, and British Guiana. Promise that if Britain loses the war it will not turn its fleet over to Germany, nor scuttle it. To Britain goes: Fifty old-age destroyers, of which we have 123. From a strategic and financial standpoint it was an excellent deal for the United States. The smallest small-est base, at Antigua, one of the Leeward Lee-ward islands in the Caribbean, is considered worth more than the entire cost of the destroyers. Total worth of the bases is estimated at about half the cost 'of the entire United States navy. From the naval view, the trade gives America a line of fortifications unparalleled in protecting the Panama canal, the Gulf and the Atlantic coasts. Dependence De-pendence of the British navy means America's one-ocean navy can be kept in the Pacific. More important than the material aspects are those of prestige. The trade served notice on the world that America will not see Great Britain go down under the blows of a dictator. Spain, Turkey, the wavering French colonies, even Russia Rus-sia will be impressed. So will Japan. Latin America will feel the Act of Havana implemented. Reaction at Home Congress was given no part in the negotiations.

POLITICS: Issues Appear Whether the government shall be given power to seize industries where owners refuse contracts for national defense production may turn into one of the major issues of the campaign. A clause to that effect, ef-fect, introduced by Senator Russell (D., Ga.) was included in the conscription con-scription bill before it passed the senate. Opposition developed in the SENATOR RUSSELL Mr. Willkie didn't like his amendment. house which has a less drastic idea. Final decision may be reached by conferees. Wendell L. Willkie, G. O. P. presidential presi-dential nominee, denounced the Russell Rus-sell amendment less than 24 hours after its enactment. He said it was a move to "socialize and sovietize" industry. "If our enterprises and assets are to be taken over by the government," he asked, "what are we to defend?" He also called upon the President to name a co-ordinator of national defense with full executive power to handle the nation's $11,000,000 arms program. Such a move, he said, was advocated in the 1939 report of the national resources board. Answer came quickly in the senate, sen-ate, whre it was pointed out that 10 Republicans were among the 69 senators who favored "industrial draft." Senator Russell said Willkie was willing to conscript lives and careers of young men but not wealth. WHEAT: World Crop , . The bureau of agricultural economics eco-nomics said indications are that about the same wheat acreage will be planted for 1941 harvest as was seeded for the 1940 harvest. There were 62,000,000 acres allotted for seeding for the 1941 crop under the Agricultural Adjustment act, the same as for the 1940 crop. The bureau estimated that 1941 production will total about 750.000.- 000 bushels and leave about 50,000,-000 50,000,-000 bushels for export or addition to carry over. The total carryover would accordingly be about 300,000,-000 300,000,-000 bushels at the close of the 1941-42 1941-42 season. World acreage, exclusive of Soviet Russia and China, the bureau said, is expected to remain approximately approximate-ly the 275,000,000 acres harvested in 1939. The bureau said that world wheat supplies, exclusive of Soviet Russia and China, for the year beginning be-ginning July 1, 1940, may be about 100,000,000 to 150,000,000 bushels smaller than a year ago when they totaled 5,445,000,000 bushels, the largest stock on record.

APPEASEMENT MOVE It is no secret that for many months one of the foremost appeas-ers appeas-ers in Anglo-American circles was the ebullient and able Joseph Patrick Pat-rick Kennedy, U. S. ambassador to the court of St. James's. Joe has felt that if war continued, the present pres-ent capitalistic system would crack; that it would be better to accept a semi-defeat now than lose all later. Until recently, however, Ambassador Ambas-sador Kennedy has been pretty much alone. Now, however, reports have reached the war and navy departments de-partments of an appeasement move inside high British financial circles and inside the admiralty. How far this appeasement attitude atti-tude prevails is almost impossible to ascertain. However, the indisputable indis-putable fact is that such reports have been made officially, and here is the substance of what they contain: con-tain: 1. British naval officers, close up to the war, heartsick over losing vessels every day, struggling desperately des-perately to stave off invasion, are wondering whether they are not, after aft-er all, really fighting for the United States; whether after the Battle of Britain is over, England, even if un-invaded, un-invaded, will not be helpless, leaving leav-ing the United States with her navy intact ready to reap all the economic eco-nomic and strategic advantages of the war's aftermath. 2. Furthermore, even if England is able to prevent invasion this fall, British naval and military strategists strate-gists doubt very much whether the United States will be willing to send bombers and attack planes to her help next spring when the fight will begin all over again. British Factories Damaged. 3. There has been much more damage to British factories than the news indicates. And as this destruction destruc-tion daily mounts into millions, British Brit-ish financial leaders figure it will take years for Britain to rebuild her economic empire. Meanwhile all markets will be lost to the United States. This is the sentiment which prevailed among Dutch bankers and which led to the surrender of Holland. Hol-land. 4. Furthermore, there have been talks in Wall Street by Nazi business emissaries which lead British business busi-ness men to believe that the United States may make a deal with Hitler, So some British tycoons wonder whether they should not do likewise, perhaps even get there first 5. Finally there has been some underground criticism of Prime Minister Churchill for bartering away British bases in the Western hemisphere. But even more important, impor-tant, the admiralty was very impatient im-patient over the slowness in transferring trans-ferring 50 destroyers which the British Brit-ish sea-dogs believe are of no value to the United States and which spell life or death for England. The fact that these destroyers were delayed, when the British navy believes (and Willkie has virtually said) that it is fighting also for the safety of the United States, has caused deep resentment re-sentment in the admiralty. Churchill Will Fight On. To get the other side of the picture, pic-ture, however, it should be noted that none of this sentiment exists in the mind of Churchill or any of his cabinet The Churchill government govern-ment has made it clear in conversations conver-sations with the Roosevelt administration adminis-tration that it is working toward long-term co-operation with the United States. Furthermore it is probable that about 90 per cent of the British publicperhaps pub-licperhaps even 99 per cent is determined de-termined to see the war through to the finish. They do not trust Hitler and figure that any half-way peace would only put them in the present desperate plight of France. WILLKIE AND PRESS Gifted with a keen news sense and not afraid to talk, Wendell Willkie Will-kie is popular with the reporters covering him. Now and then, however, how-ever, he speaks his mind regarding something written about him. . Greeting one newsman, Willkie barked, "You've been writing some fiction about me." "Well," replied the reporter with a grin, "you're quite a fictional character." Willkie laughed and said no more. STENOGS In July of last year, the government govern-ment hired 430 "female" stenographers stenogra-phers and typists. In July of this year, the number was tripled 1,500. The various defense agencies are calling for stenographers so fast that old-line agencies are losing some of their best and speediest workers. Executives returning from August holidays find their stenogs in defensework at higher wages. The turnover is tremendous. The Civil Service commission "certified" no less than 3,000 stenographers and typists in a recent month. And more thousands are moving up on the Civil Service lists. When the lists were closed for one exam, at mid-August, the total of applicants had reached the amazing figure of 135,000. NOTE Salaries paid by the government gov-ernment are: for senior stenographer, stenogra-pher, $1,620; for junior stenographer 51,440; for senior typist, $1,440; for junior typist $1,260. lliii o NE mischievous Scottv u tainlv enni.M. i .
