outpost facing Germany. > A dark picture of chaos
ranks and of successful attacks by the Germans was painted
ra of the British Isles against an invader. The march of Red army forces into Lithuania, after the Liths accepted a Russian ‘ultimatum, reinforced the Soviet defenses facing Germany in the Baltic area.
Allies Disorganized, Nazis Claim
As far as Moscow dispatches were concerned the Russian action was purely a matter of dispute between Lithuania ind the Soviets, which charged the Liths with hostile acts. The Soviet bases in Lithuania, however, are a vital defense
and dissolution in the French
by the German high command. The French army, withdrawing beyond the Marne and
the Seine was reported under
constant ‘attack by swift Ger-
man units seeking to break up the orderly retreat and incircle large sections of the Allied line.
Swastika Flies
Over Versailles
Over the Palace of Versailles, where the treaty—since torn to pieces by Adolf Hitler—was signed after the World War, the Nazi battle flag is flying, the Germans said. Although Allied warships pounded several towns on the Italian coast near France, two Allied destroyers were sent to the bottom of the Mediterranean by Italian torpedo boats during the fight. An official statement from Rome said that
11 persons were killed and 52
wounded in the Allied attack.
Italy also scored its first victory on French soil, accord-
ing to the fourth Italian communique of the war.
The
Italians attacked the French defending the Alpine frontier and gained several strategic positions, Rome reported.
Spanish Move Called Pro-Axis
Spanish military occupation “of the internationalized Tangier Zone across the straits from Gibraltar was regarded
in Rome as a pro-German-Italian move.
It was pointed
out in Rome that Gibraltar, the “rock” from where Britain has commanded the western Mediterranean since 1713, was the principal object of Spanish territorial ambitions. Spanish spokesmen emphasized that Tangier had been occupied with the consent of the British, the French and
Italians, who have joint control of the zone.
Berlin, however, it was said
In Rome and that the Spanish move was
sudden and that Britain had had no advance knowledge of it. Repercussions of the war continued to spread through-
out the world. In Batavia,
the Netherlands East Indies
people’s council gave the colonial Government power to take all measures deemed necessary to preserve, fhe present
status of the Dutch Eastern
empire.
Japanese Moves Are Watched
In the Japanese-controlled portion of Shanghai the
Mayor requested the military
commandants and consuls of
belligerent powers to withdraw their troops from Shanghai. Foreigners in Shanghai suggested that the fall of Paris)
might hasten a Japanese decision whether to take advan-{
tage of United States pre-occupation with Europe and make ‘a new move southward, perhaps foward Hong Kong and
the East Indies.
“In the great Far Eastern British naval base at Singapore volunteer forces were called up for continuous train-
ing during the next two months.
Authorities in Nairobi, British East Africa, said that South African airplanes again had attacked the airdrome and troop barracks at Kismayu, on the Indian Ocean, while a
patrol of the King’s African
Rifles Regiment was raiding
an Italian post on the Ethiopian frontier.

Reporter With B. E. F. Finds Soldiers Cheerful After Battling ‘Snarlers.’ (Continued from Page One)
millimetre (1%2-inch) tank guns, first tried out in the Spanish Civil War. They went through the fighting at Amiens, at Abbeville and at Rouen before they crossed the Seine last Sunday. They are tired but they are ready tg go back, knowing what they face. Officers of the unit told me how the Nazi tank corps, co-operating with the German Air Force, develops_ its striking power. First come the low-diving bomber planes, then tanks, then immediately infantry in trucks dragging ugly little mortars, they said. “If you duck—when the planes dive with thelr machine guns spitting at your head—by the time you have raised your head there are tanks on top of you, and just behind come the infantry,” said one officer.
Call Tanks Snarlers
I learned that the Britons have named the great German tanks, of between 70 and 80 tons, ‘“snarlers” —because they look so disagreeable. The scene on the lawn before an empty chateau where I talked with the officer was in strange contrast to the story he had to tell. The officer was attached to
division which- had been operating in central France. When the B. E. PF. was cut off in Flanders, the regiment was sent north, operating under orders of the French. First it concentrated on rubbing out embryo German bridgeheads on the Somme. Then it was ordered to the Abbeville district where a large bridgehead had been established. For two days the British attacked the Abbeville bridgehead, and though they reduced it in size they could not knock it out.
Fight Doggedly
Everywhere the talk was of German superiority in heavy armament. As the regiment retired southwardfrom Abbeville it fought doggedly against German anti-tank units and there was one pitched battle against the heavy “snarlers.” “I think we gave them a pretty good dose of it before we executed a difficult pivot movement to make off southward,”. the officer said. “The Germans did not pursue us.”
NAZI CONSUL UNDER NEW ORLEANS GUARD:
NEW ORLEANS, June 15 (U. P.). —Police guarded the German consulate against demonstrations today after a local newspaper had quoted Baron Edgar von Spiegel, the Consul General, as saying that the United States should be careful about aiding the Allies. Police said a 24-hour guard was established at the consulate at Von Spiegel’s request. The consulate declined comment. Von Spiegel denied having made the statement attirbuted to him in the newspaper. It quoted him that “Germany will not forget that when she was waging a struggle for her very life the United States did
everything in its power to aid her enemies.” The consulate was said to have received a number of threatening,

doned successfully, their heavy garrisons would be added to Weygand’s mobile force; and it may be that some abandonment already has| taken place to give Weygand reserves which he badly needs. The Maginot Line has lost its principal purpose of . preventing a German invasion of France; but it still serves as a long distance protection of Weygand’s right flank. If the battlefront changes its course, however, part of this protection, north of Strasbourg; would become unnecessary.
Italian claims that some French Alpine posts have been occupied do not specify details. Earlier reports, however, said there were Italian operations in the Galisia Alpine region and it may be here that the Italians are beginning to show their strategic objective. The Galisia pass, a small defile, is too narrow and isolated to serve as an area for serious military operations. It is south of the Swiss border and is very near the French province of Savoie, formerly belonging to the present Italian royal family. The annexation of Savoie is one of Mussolini’s prime. reasons for entering the war. About 45 miles south is the important Mt. Cenis pass, leading into Savoie. The present Italian Alphine thrust, it seems, may thus have preliminary . sig-
nificange of a later operation to be aimed ‘on a wider scale toward, Savoie.
"VARGAS REAFFIRMS
HIS LOYALTY TO FDR
WASHINGTON, June 15 (U. P.). —Brazil’s President, Getulic Vargas, today assured President Roosevelt that“ Brazil will not fail him in loyalty” to the common purpose of protecting the Western Hemisphere against foreign influences and attack. In a message delivered through the Brazilian embassy, President
Vargas expressed regret that an address he had delivered earlier this week had been interpreted in. seme quarters as contradictory to the Allied-aid policy outlined by Mr. Roosevelt in his Charlottesville, Va., speech. “Speech delivered June 11 can in no sense be regarded as contradictory to that of President Roosevelt whose speech I had not read at that time,” the Brazilian President cabled. “My speech is a ‘warning, a call to reality, addressed to Brazilians and which might cause surprise only to persons devoted to routine, not to a farseeing mind like that of Roosevelt, who is liberal-minded, aggressive and forward-looking, crying out as the voice of the whole continent regarding perils which threaten America and who knows that Brazil will not fail him in loyalty.” - Speaking at a Navy Day celebration in Brazil Tuesday, Vargas said that the world is on the threshold of a “tumultious and fertile new era.”
WOMAN HELD IN SLAYING "Police today held Edna Mai Espy, 20, of 453 W. 13th St., on a charge of voluntary manslaughter after Marshall Jones, 24, of 1356 N. West St, was found dead yesterday on the kitchen floor in her home. He was shot through the forehead with a .38-caliber revolver.

ALLIES BAITING
ITALY’S FLEET
Seek to Force Engagement In Mediterranean; Cairo Police Watchful,
CAIRO, Egypt, June 15 (U. P.)— The Allied fleet is roaming the eastern Mediterranean, trying to lure
the Italian fleet into battle, a naval spokesman said today. But the Italian warships, he said, have not come into the open to take up the challenge and the British and French ships have to content themselves with protecting merchant shipping, attacking marauding submarines and sweeping up mines. “Attacks were made on enemy submarines with successful results and several mines were destroyed off the Egyptian Coast,” the spokesman said.
Dutch Tanker Sinks
He disclosed that an unidentified Dutch tanker had been sunk in the Meditegranean (presumably by an Italian submarine) with the loss of four lives. He said that units of the Allied Navy had co-operated with Royal Air Force bombers in the attack on the Italian naval base of Tobrouk, Tuesday, in which the 9000-ton Italian cruiser Sangeorigo and two submarines reportedly were hit by bombs. and set afire. The Allied ships engaged shore batteries while the planes carried out a bombing mission, the spokesman said. No Allied ships were hit, he said. (In a Royal Air Force communique describing the raid on Tobrouk, the Italian vessel hit and set afire, was listed as a supply ship instead of a cruiser).
Cairo Police in Masks
In Cairo today, police appeared on the streets with helmets and gas masks following a police conference in which the security of the city was discusesd. Traffic Commissioner Lieut. Col. Mahamed Choukri was ordered to requisition taxis and place them at the disposal of the military in the event of an emergency.

AUTOMOBILE OUTPUT UNAFFECTED BY WAR
" DETROIT, June 15 (U. P)—A slight reduction in automobile production was reported’ this week in on expected seasonal decline but the output continued far ahead of last year. Ward’s Reports estimated the week’s production at 93,635 cars and trucks compared with 95,560 last week and 78,305 a year ago. Automotive -industries, discounting effects of the war on production, said that Canadian manufacture of cars in the first four months of the year was 13 per cent ahead of 1939. It also said that with the
"lend of this week total production of
1940 models would exceed 3,500,000.

Mr. Hull's disclosure came after the Italian Ambassador, Prince Colonna, had protested to the State Department against what he describd as efforts to create anti-Italian sentiment in the U. S.
) Requirly Fingerprinting One of the pending defense bills would require the finger-printing and registration of all aliens in the United States. The other would authorize the RFC to expand its lending authority by one billion doilars to finance production of strategic war materials. A Senate appropriation subcommittee begins consideration today of Mr. Roosevelt's supplemental defense requests of approximately $1,277,000,000 for the Army and Navy. It was believed the committee: would report a bill early next week. The President already has approved ap-
| propriationsgof $1,492,000,000 for the
Navy and $1,893,000,000 for the Army. But the need for speed on a legislations as an aid to a June 22 adjournment had about disappeared. The House recessed yesterday until Monday—a further sign that its leaders have given up hope of quitting next week and look for a prolonged session. In connection with the tax bill, the committee made no change in the so-called 10 per cent super tax on individual and corporate incomes, but voted to eliminate all proposed increases in taxes on tobacco products and to substitute higher amusement taxes to offset the loss. Under the new amusement levies, designed to raise $77,000,000, the following scalg on admission tickets was set up: Nine cents or less, no tax; 10 to 19 cents, .a one-cent tax; 20 cents, a two-cent tax; 21 to 30 cents, a three-cent tax, and 31 to 40 cents, a four-cent tax. The committee voted to increase from, 30 to 40 cents a gallon the tax on rectified liquor. Treasury experts estimated the increase would produce $3,800,000 in additional revenue.
Urges Wider Tax Base
Other amendments which may be aded to increase the additional taxes ‘voted by the House included: 1. A proposal to lower the exemption on individual income taxes for married persons to $1800, instead of $2000 as provided by the House. 2. A proposed increase of 1 cent
in the gasoline tax. The House bill provides only a ‘z2-cent increase. 3. A l-cent tax per bottle on soft drinks. Legislation will be introduced today by Senator Claude Pepper (D. Fla.) to authorize the President to order a shut-down of automobile production so that plants can be diverted to production of airplanes for eventual sale to the Allies.
Quick Action Advised
Mr. Pepper said his proposal was designed to furnish the Allies with 50,000 planes in the shortest possible time. This could be accomplished, he added, by having the Government refuse delivery - when the planes are produced, and then permit manufacturers to sell them to the Allies. Airplane engine manufacturers, heeding the appeal of President Roosevelt's Civilian Defense Commission, have agreed to expand their production facilities to the utmost. pending allocation of new orders under the expanded defense program, Officials said that the first of the new orders may be awarded within the next fortnight. The motor producers have stepped up their output considerably under the impetus of Allied and American orders, but commission members have convinced them that they can turn out even more engines by utilizing fresh manpower and increasing the number of shifts at their plants. Some of the plants are averaging less than? two shifts deily.
LEBANON JURY DISMISSED
LEBANON, Ind. June 15 (U. P.). —A Circuit Court jury was dismissed after 24 hours deliberation today when it failed to reach a verdict in the case of Byron Evans, 31, charged with involuntary manslaughter in connection with the trafic death in April, 1939, of Mrs. Esther C. Kelley, 39, of Frankfort. Prosecutor Charles Thompson said that Evans would be tried again in the September term of court.

At its convention last September, when Congress was considering revision of the Neutrality Act, the Legion demanded in a resolution that Congress remain “during the present grave crisis.” A few days ago, National Com mander Raymond J. Kelly, speaking at Chicago, recalled this action of the convention and urged Legionnaires to raise their voices | now against adjournment. This message is being carried io every Legion post. -Whether Congress will go on a basis of three-day recesses for period of ~the conventions, as been done in the past, or whether it will continue in session under a ‘“‘gentlemen’s agreement’ to . carry on no important legislative business during the weeks of the conventions, has not been determine. could recess over both conventions until a specified date, but there is much sentiment against this course. If Senate and House do not agree about adjournment, then the President, himself, has the decision and can prorogue Congress. No President has ever taken that step, and no one would expect Mr. Roosevelt to take such action.
