Suggests Party Machinery Aid Civilian Defense During War.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 12 (U. P.) — President Roosevelt yesterday exe pressed his appreciation to leaders of the Democratic and Republican parties for their “political truce” in«
emergéncy and suggested that the facilities of the party organizations be used in civilian defense. The President sent identical tele« to Chairman Joseph W. Mar= tin Jr, of the Republican National Committee, and Chairman Edward
Oommittee, thanking them for their “patriotic action.” Mr. Martin and Mr. Flynn ex-
political truce on Dec. 9, two days after Japan had attacked the United States.
G. 0. P. Adopts Resolution
Senate Minority Leader Charles L. McNary said this resolution had heen adopted by his party. “Resolved, that the Republican conference pledge to the President of the United States its unanimous support in the vigorous and efficient prosecution of the war.” The text of Mr. Roosevelt's mes to the leaders: “It me thank you both personally and on behalf of our country, for the patriotic action you have in contemplation. The national or ganization of the two great parties are capable of inestimable service in our present emergency.
Ban Partisan Politics
“The nation-wide quality of their the circumstance that their agents are men and women of eminence and respect in their respective communities will, I am sure, oR that i Sittia of war there can no 0mestic polities. “There can be only a determined intent of a united people to carry the struggle for human liberty to a victorious conclusion. “So, I am sure we appreciate and the people will appreciate— that the political truce is for the period of the emergency and that the principles of our respective parties will continue to dominate our courses,
Freedom Will Prevail
“When the war is over we will still be adhering to our historic method of settling our domestic problems which have made our country the great nation it is, and has shown the world that Democratic freedom is a perfectly workable system of government. “My own thought, with which I hope you will agree, is that the two national party organizations oan function to the best advantage in the field of civilian defense, but you will, of course, work out your own procedure and processes in carrying out your patriotic purpose.”

By Science Service WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.—Effective bombing of Japan's crowded, inflammable cities might easily give rise to an epidemic of the deadly Asiatic cholera, U. 8. Public Health Service epidemiologists here believe. Two cases of cholera in at least one Japanese province (Taiwan) have been reported to the Public Health Service this year, and it is believed many more occurred. Oholera prevails in the Far East but there is none in the United States.

FRENGH ASSASSINATE IT GERMAN GUARDS
NEW YORK, Dec. 11 (U. P.).— Private advices reaching the United Press in New York said 17 German soldiers guarding the line between Occupied and TUnoccupied France near the Pyrenees had been assassinated in recent weeks. The killings were attributed to a secret French society. Private dispatches also reported trouble in the Bethune mining basin of northern France where alleged Communist miners demanded withdrawal of German troops of occupation. The Germans were reported to have threatened to fire on demonstrators supporting the demands of the miners. Demonstrations were reported to have occurred but, it was said, the Germans did not fire because of threats by miners fo flood the mines, an act which would put them out of commission for six months.
$150 BOND POSTED IN 1911 RETURNED
SEATTLE, Wash. (U. P.) —For 30 years the city of Seattle owed $150 to Fred F. Travis, contractor, but only recently did he get the money. In fact, he'd forgotten about it until it came in the mail—just so much “gravy,” Mr. Travis declared. He recalled that in 1911 he posted the money as bond to guarantee that a street would be clean after he moved the house. “There was some delay after the house was moved, and I just fore got about my $150,” Mr. Travis id. “Believe me, that couldn't happen now!”
