Gayda said that since President Roosevelt was responsible, “perhaps involuntarily." it should l>e ‘his duty to repair, at the last moment if he can, the dangerous atmosphere he created."

Spear said that the contract, drawn up May 31. 1934 — three days after the quintuplets were boru —also included motion picture and photographic reproduction rights. The original suit named 12 defendants, but cases against eight of them were thrown out for lack of jurisdiction. Dr. Dafoe appeared in court with his attorney. Arthur Slaught King’s counselor and member of parliament. Also present was Arthur W. Roebuck, members of the provincial parliament and attorney general for Ontario, in which Province the controversial contract was drawn. Dionne wa« not served a summons in the suit because the federal court ruled it had no jurisdiction. The court, however, permitted the plaintiff's counsel to take a depoeii tlon from Dionne and this will be presented as evidence during the t trial.

by using peaceful instruments and trying to achieve her aims by peaceful means.” Meanwhite, the nation calmly awaited its fate. Involes Millions By Webb Miller, iCopyright 1938 by IT.) London. Sept. 27.—jU.PJ* As the diplomatic situation stood today Europe was some 96 hours from a general war involving between 350,000,000 and 400.000,000 people. Statesmen still |lung to hope that a last minute development would save peace, but the outlook darkened every hour. If war comes, neutral military experts with whom I talked today believe that it might last three or four years. It probably would be the most I frightful war in history. It would be fought, in its initial stages, largely by airplanes with rich, ancient cities the targets and men, women and children, without distinction. the victims. At this moment about 5,000,000 men were ready to march. Backing them up were about 10,03c,000 trained reserves. It was estimated that between 20,000 and 30,000 airplanes would be in the field a short time after the outbreak. Competent military authorities with whom I talked today said that if a general war broke out it probably would last several years. As things stood now, it. appeared that Germany and Italy on one side, with about 118,000,000 people, and Czechoslovakia, France, Russia and Great Britain on the ; other, with about 263,000.000 would be involved within a few weeks. It was the opinion of military men that in the early phases of such a war Fran if would remain behind her magimff line fortifications while Great Britain blocked Germany tn the Atlantic ocean and the Baltic sea. Britain and France would be expected to await action by Premier Bonito Mussolini. If he joined Hitler, France would he expected ' to try to smash the Italian army i with the object of knocking it out : of the war, opening the way across I northern Italy to attack Germany through-its back door, the southern Austrian frontier, o CHAMBERLAIN (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) if necessary From the cabinet room at.

URGE SANCTIONS AGAINST JAPAN League Council Authorizes Nations To Act Against Japs Geneva, Sept. 27— (U.R> —The council of the league of nations at a secret session today agreed to authorise members individually to apply economic and financial sanctions against Japan. The council ruled that article 16 of the covenant, which provides tor severance of trade or financial relations with au aggressor nation, was now iu force against Japan. It was agreed, however, that for temporary reasons it was impossible tor league members to take "coordinated action," but that each member was entitled to apply sanctions if they deeired. Application of sanctions was requested by China on the ground that Japan had resorted to war in disregard of the covenant of the league. Japan has resigned from the league, but article 16 provides that sanctions may be applied whether an “aggressor" is a member or not. A member of the council told the United Press: "The decision means that Russia can now take any action she wants against Japan and such action will be legal, as it will be with the authorization of the league. "It Russia takes military action against Japan, they will be acting under the covenant. Os course other countries, too, can take such action as prohibiting credits and embargoing war material for Japan." • o GREAT BRITAIN (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) stead of waiting 19 hours to speak before the opening session of the emergency Parliament tomorrow. He decided to relay his speech bv radio throughout the British, empire and it will be rebroadcast in the United States and other foreign countries. He will speak at 8 p. m. (1 p. m.

It was believed that Chamberlain, by publishing the Czechoslovak note, and deciding to address the empire, was laying the historic ' record for the inceptions of a gen- | eral war. He had appealed to Hitler Direct- ■ ly. He had warned Hitler that I Britain would back France in supporting Czechoslovakia. Hitler had [ but repeated his utliniatum. Publication of the Czech liote [ended all speculation here of the ; possibility that Czechoslovakia might yet yield. Presumably it meant that unless Hitler gave ground, for the first | time in his career, there would be war iu Europe this week-end. The one tangible hope for some 1 concession from Hitler lay in tho fact that Sir Horace Wilson, who took a special message to Hitler from Chamberlain yesterday, was expected back with a reply today. This offered one slim hope. But Hitler had reaffirmed that ! Germany must have The Sudeten j area of Czechoslovakia by Saturday. Czechoslovakia refused to yield. France had decided to support Czechoslovakia. Russian was I pledged to support France. And Britain, in an authoritative message issued last night, had. definitely warned that she would join France and Russia. Further, it was reported that this had been communicated to Hitler. Hence, the situation seamed to be that if Germany marched into Czechoslovakia Saturday to enforce Hitler’s ultimatum. Europe would be plnnged into a general war in which Premier Bento Mussolini had now bound Itlay to support Germany.

Reports here were that steamship lines were booked for several weeks in advance on accommodations. The department announced that the statement was being telephoned to passport offices in New York. Chicago, San Francisco and Boston. The 3,500 clerks of courts throughout the country who are authorized to receive passport applications will receive letters advising them of the department's attitude. Theer was no comment from the White House on today's reply of Chancellor Adolf Hitler to Mr. Roosevelt’s plea to those directly concerned to avoid war in the Czechoslovakian - German border dispute. Navy department officials said that four U. S. warships are in European waters. These could be used in an emergency to remove Americans from war torn countries. The cruiser Honolulu is at Portsmouth, England. Three vessels are in French waters. These are the cruiser Omaha, and the destroyers Claxton and Manley. The Nashville, recently at Portsmouth has returned. Navy department officials said chat the battleship Texas and cruiser Philadelphia, which left the Philadelphia navy yard, are now at Norfolk. Va.
