209 Aboard Passenger Ship Mined Off English Coast Air and. at Sea.

(Continued from Page One)

. land, came word that a British warship shelled and wrecked a merchant ship off the southern coast of Iceland yesterday.

The merchant ship, which was re-|.

ported to have been flying another , flag to conceal its nationality, was / set afire and stranded on a gtef after the -British man o’ war had fired -14 shots into it. The crew, it was believed, had been taken aboard the warship.

Stranded on Reef

The merchant ship, now a hopeless wreck on a desolate, sandy beach, was boarded today to establish its identity. One -of the Mastiff’'s crew died of. injuries and four were missing. SHe was of 490 tons and was the sixth British warship lost in the war. She presumably went down Wile engaged in the perilous work earing mines out of the North Fa smipping lanes where they had ed havoé on merchant shipping during the week-end. The explosion: that sank the Mas‘tiff was heard on shore and a lifeboat, motorboat and airplanes rushed to the scene.. A passing ship picked up some of the Mastiff’s crew and transferred four of the injured to a lifeboat. The four were suffering from severe burns, exhaustion and shock and one died in a hospital where the other three were confined.

Forced to Bail After Leak

There were 34 aboard the ship. They took to boats, 23 going into Mr. Boothby’s boat and one of them, the chief engineer, H. Pearson, dying of exposure while they were still adrift Sunday. Eight got into a second lifeboat and three into a jolly boat. All the boats were damaged by brushing the ship's side in launching. “Mr. Boothby’s boat was separated froth the other two, and sprang a leak. The seamen bailed until Friday morning, then were able to raise a sail. ~The Dutch ship Algenib sighted | P: them Monday morning, later transferred them to an Irish military tender which landed them. The other two lifeboats were not found. Capt. Charles Hurst was among the survivors in Mr. Boothby’s boat. All had suffered extremely from hunger and cold. In addition to - the Arlington Court’s crew, 17 survivors of the crew of an unnamed ship were landed last night at a northeast British port,

Hope Gone for Crew of 34

Another merchant loss, not a victim of the new activity, was confirmed today when the Newcastle Lines announced ‘that hope had been abandoned for the 4600-ton steamer Newton Beech and her crew of .34, overdue for more than a month. Of the 14 ships reported sunk since Saturday, the Mastiff was the only warship. She was the first British mine-sweeper lost and took her place along with the battleship Royal Oak, the aircraft carrier Courageous, unnamed destroyer, the tug No Rover and the submarine Oxeley, sunk by accident, as a wartime casualty. The Mastiff carried one four-inch and two smaller guns. She was launched

CALM PREVAILS. BERLIN CLAIMS

DNB Denies New Incidents Have Taken Place Since + 12 Were Executed.

BERLIN, Nov. 21 (U. P.).—Praha dispatches to the semi-official DNB news agency foday said that calm prevails throughout the protectorate of Bohemia-Moravia despite the 1mposition of martial law and that no new incidents have occurred since last week’s disturbances, for which 12 persons were executed. All theaters, motion picture houses, factories and transportation lines are operating, DNB said. Diplomatic and Political Correspondence, Foreign Office organ, charged that the Ailies were “mobilizing any and all willing peoples against Germany,” and that “Czech marionettes, propped up by England,” were responsible for the Praha disorders. “Germany will not do the London war mongers#a favor by tolerating conditions which endanger the interests of the Reich. Those who bear thé responsibility for this unrest, as well as the methods they themselves used in Damascus and Palestine, have no ‘right to pass judgment on German methods to stamp out these agitated disorders,” the agency said. Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop and the Slovak Minister, Matus Cernak, today signed a German-Slovak treaty incorporating into Slovakia the territories Poland had taken from that former Czechoslovak province in 1920, 1924 and 1938. Slovakia was made a German protectorate upon the dismemberment of Czechoslovakia.

Vatican City Hears 40 Catholics Seized

ROME, Nov. 21 (U. P.).—Authoritative Vatican quarters said today that Monsignor Antonio Eltschkner, auxiliary bishop of Praha, has reported to the Holy See that during the last few days 40 Catholics, three of them priests, have been arrested “without any apparent cause” in the Nazi protectorate of Bohemia-Moravia.

RECORD GOLD FIGURE IN ’38 SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 21 (U. P.) —California’s 1938 gold production of 1,311,129 fine ounces with a value of $45,889,515 was the largest since 1862.

SEA CLAMP ON

As Germans Strike in Aid and at Sea.

(Continued from Page One)

Allied naval blockade was not working all one way. Berlin announced that during September and October Nazi surface warships, co-operating with the air force, had searched several hundred ships in the Baltic and North Sea for contraband; that while numerous ships had been released immediately after inspection naval units has brought 127 ships with 245,000 tons of cargo to German harbors for further investigation,

x. Germany Strikes Back

' At Amsterdam, Holland, newspaper Handelsblad said that the Dutch people “would .consider a blockage .on Cerman exports an additional hardship.” And at Paris it was learned that French naval authorities had decided that henceforth all convoys would be preceded by protective mine sweepers. The German air and naval offen-| ° sive was pressed on the 21st anniversary today -of the collapse of Imperial Germany as a naval power. Nazi planes roared over England, Scotland and the Orkney Islands but Royal Air Force fighting craft shot down one—making a total of 20 German planes brought down in seven weeks—off the East Coast. The German plane. shot down, while anti-aircraft batteries were active in southeast England, was understood to have fallen in the sea before it reached the coast. Unconfirmed reports said a second German plane had been shot down over thc English Channel. But other planes were reported over Sutherland, off the coast of Scotland and over the Orkney Islands. Sutherland was flying low enough to show the German markings and roared northward. It was the second day of increasingly intense German aerial reconnaissance and increased fears of an impending bombing attack. Yesterday a German plane flew over the outskirts of London.

* Fears of Bombing Grow

ported considerable air activity off the East Coast. Early in the morning, planes believed to be Royal Aircraft flew swiftly toward the Firth of Forth, but no enemy craft could be seen from the ground. Hundreds of persons, however, heard planes roaring overhead and the R. .A. F. craft were active all morning. No air alarm was sound-

ed. . A fighting plane believed to be German was sighted in the northeastern area of England early in the morning, flying at a high alti-

_{tude.

Earlier bursts of machine gun fire were heard over Southeast Kent. Airplanes were heard .and several planes, believed to be British, were seen over one coastal town. But there was no air alarm. And with the Nazi sea war gaining momentum Britons recalled Earl Beattie’s words on Nov. 21, 1918, when he ordered the German flag struck and the German navy obeyed. “The German elisigh will be lowered at sunset,” he said, “and not hoisted again without permission.” The fleet was interned for disposition by the Allied powers.

‘DELAYED DRIVE

France Claims Large-Scale Offensive Was Planned For Last Week.

PARIS, Nov. 21 (U. P.)—French general headquarters charged today that Germany had planned and had been ready for a. large scale offensive between Nov. 12 and 14 from the North Sea.to Switzerland, including an invasion of Holland and Switzerland, but had suddenly called it off.: The order for attack had been given as early as Nov. 12, French cond headquarters s#id, and the necessary divisions and . material were in positions when the German Army High Command decided suddenly not to proceed.

Divisions Still in Position

pared. fully for the attack, the French said. German divisions remain in the

attack but the French said they had learned that the Nazi high commad is intensifying training preparations, creating new divisions and bringing up new material, probably to reinforce the lengthened North Seat to Switzerland line. Before the French general headquarters made its announcement, reports had circulated in military quarters that advisers to Fuehrer Adolf Hitler had submitted four plans for conducting the war, one of which called for invasion of Holland, and that while he was trying to make up his mind there was sharp dissension among the leaders who planned them. :

Three Plans Described

The newspaper Paris ‘Soir described three of the plans as follows: 1. That of Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop, supported by Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels, calling for a direct offensive against the Maginot Line and simultaneous submarine and airplane offensives on Great Britain; 2. That of Hermann Goering, who opposes a West Front offensive and favors organizing neutrals into joint action against the British blockade; 3. The plan of Col.-Gen. Walther von Brauchitsch, commander-in-chief of the Army, supported by

rect action against the Maginot Line and wanted to turn the French fortifications by invading Holland and then, presumably, Belgium.. Report General Sulking Other sources mentioned a fourth plan, providing for use of Germany’s superior air strength to carry the war into the interior of France and Britain without regard for neutrals. Gen. Von Brauchitsch was said to have been urging the-invasion of Holland for some time, but Herr

| Hitler, upon Baron Von Ribbentrop’s

advice, tentatively vetoed the plan, it was said. The weekly newspaper Aux Ecoutes said that after the rejection of‘ his advice, Gen. Von Brauchitsch was “playing the role of Achilles and sulking’ in his tent.”

By onrTED PRESS » It will be a ‘Thanksgiving week this year, not just a day. ¥ A survey showed today that 23 states, according to proclamations by Governors, will observe Thanks-

Victim Dies Before Seeing Gun-Girl’s Poem of Hate

DALLAS, Tex. Nov. 21 (U.P.).—Pretty Corinne Maddox hated Attorney Brooks Coffman so intensely that before riddling him with 11 bullets from two flaming pistols, she composed a poem of hate for him to read in his dying moments, police revealed today. Miss Maddox, 26, member of a wealthy and prominent family, shot Mr. Coffman yesterday, possibly in the back first.

CHARGES NAZIS

She continued to pump bullets into him while he lay on the sidewalk, propping himself up on oné elbow, begging for mercy. He died from che wound in the back. Police today appeared most concerned about the identity of a woman who was with Mr. Coffman when Miss Maddox approached him. She was an attractive young woman believed to have once been an employee of his law office. A newspaper photographer who did not know her told police that while Mr. Coffman lay dying on the sidewalk, blood streaming from his wounds, this companion tried to seize his camera, and exclaimed: “Don’t take Brooks’ picture—for my sake.” Then she disappeared, he said. Leaves Victim Writhing

Miss Maddox left her victim writhing. She crossed the street to a telegraph company where she engaged a messenger to deliver her poem of hate to the hospital where she assumed he would be taken. He died without regaining consciousness

by police, her homicide apology read: ; “To you “Who caused me all my pain and grief “And later Saved for my re= . covery “Why? So. 0 if I lived you could : torture me?

“Hecate Xipon ny Nite you’ ve made more threats, “As in your prayer _“T lived and came back to thee “But back for back “And now I'm forced"to do this. “It is with deep regret. “May God have mercy on us

both “CORINNE.” Miss Maddox’ father is - Roger Maddox, a member. of the board of the National Bank of Commerce. Informed that she had killed a man, he weht to the jail and found her paeing her cell, wringing her hands. “I'm afraid he isn’t going to die,” she said. An hour later, she was informed that Mr. Coffman was dead. “I'm glad,” she exclaimed. “My {life has been hell.” Last night, Miss Maddox was released on $7500 bail though charged in a police warrant of murder.

‘Gets Card in Hospital

Miss Maddox said she had known Mr. Coffman for two’ years. They both worked in the same business district and last May 20 he offered to drive her home. Instead, she said, he drove her to a gravel pit. ‘She resisted his advances, she said,” and he stabbed her in the chest with an ice pick. He ‘returned to Dallas and surrendered and she was taken to a hospital by a motorist. His trial on a charge of assault with intent to murder was to have opened Oct. 16, but Miss Maddox didn’t appear and the trial was passed to another term, While she was in the hospital he sent her a card on which he had written: “From one who is praying for your recovery.” Miss Maddox said Mr. Coffman followed her constantly and always became violent when she rejected his advances. She was in fear of her life, she said. He was 35, the son of D. G. Coffman, who is employed in the Dallas unit of the U. S. Treasury Alcohol Division.

C. M. Wilson of Indianapolis, national Sons of the American Legion director, spoke to the commanders and adjutants on the increasing need for adult leadership for the junior organization.

dent in 1940.

said, “I have arrived at the conclusion that the Republican Party can be successful if it demonstrates to the farm voters and those dependent on the farmers that We party is interested, as formerly, in their welfare.” Mr. McNary recommended that the following program be written into the party’s 1940 platform: 1. Equalization of benefit payments under the: AAA soil - conservation program. 2. Repeal of the Reciprocal Trade| Agreement Act. : 3. Liberalization of “the public land policy to give the 14 public land states a greater share of revenues from sale of forests and grazing on the public domain. © Senator’ McNary’s name will be presented to the Republican convention as a Presidential possibility.
