State Department Takes
Action Against Volunteers
in Spanish War.
AZ the Associated Press.

Fifty American citizens, returning
to this country after taking part in
the Spanish war, have been deprived
of their passports under new State
Department policy disclosed yesterday.
officials announced that passports
held by all nationals who have fought
on one side or the other will be seized
when they return to this country as
penalty for evasion of regulations
forbidding them to travel in Spain.
Since a few weeks after the out
break Of the revolution, the State
Department. in an effort to keep
Americans out of the trouble zone,
has refused passports to those ex-
pressing an intention to travel to
Spain. Passport applicants have been
compelled to sign afidavits certifying
they do not intend to go to that coun-
try and the passports issued to them
are marked mot valid in Spain"
However, State Department officials
said, scores of persons have gone into
Vic SOuuIiy. IC Ch-
feet of the new action will be to de-
prive holders of seized passports from
going abroad in the near future.
A century-old law provides penalties
for Americans convicted of enlisting
in the service of foreign army, but
because of the difficulty of securing
evidence there never have been any
prosecutions under it.
The vigorous efforts to prevent
Americans from taking part in the
Spanish strife were demonstrated
when the American Consul at Queens
town, Ireland. seized the passport of
19-year-old William Paul Alcorn of
Lexington, KY, after he arrived there
on the liner Manhattan two days ago
The youths parents, asserting he
was on his way to take up arms in
Spain, asked State Department aid in
intercepting him. The Consul acted
on the ground that young Alcorn SUBJ
mitted improper evidence of his citi-
zenship when he applied for his pass
port. He is being returned to the
United States.

Great Britain to lead the way"

LEAGUE REVISION

mittee of experts studying proposed

Covenant from World War peace

amounted to one: That China should
stand and deliver all she had, while
and Western world was engrossed in
the war to end white prestige. 1t took
war to put Europe on the map for
most Americans. I have felt for 20
years. that it would probably take blood
in Asia to teach us that Toxic is the
third largest city in the world, Osaka
the greatest industrial and shipping
city on the Pacific Ocean, and Shang-
hal the most important city of the
coming Pacific era of world history.
1t requires bloodshed to get our
directions straight to realize that
Pacific Asia is not the Far East" but
Americas Far West, and that the
sweep Of our expansion carried us far
out over the Western ocean, causing
us for time to regard it as an Amer
lean lake.
10 Per Cent Support Japan.
How Americans feel about Japan is
tremendously important right now Il
am only counting those who have
opinions-and their number is rap
idly growing) Ten per cent or less
feel that it would be good thing if
Japan went ahead and took China.
They are of that mental makeup
which normally sympathizes with the
top dog, the iron man who imposes
order by his strength. Let Japan
straighten up China-even the world
if she can. Of course, they consider
themselves safely out of the path OF
the man on horseback.
Ninety per cent Of Americans SYM
pathize with China But less than five
per cent, should say, are actually
willing to risk war to save the under
dog, or to check the top dog. Obvi-
ously the feelings of the great re-
naming majority will determine the
course of the Nation. There is nc
such sectional discrepancy as is COM
monty supposed to exist The same
sentiment prevails over both the At
lantic and Pacific coasts and all be-
tween. The bulk Of our people could
state their feelings about as follows:

the Japanese Army, the one in which
she has world superiority, is mobility

is caught in international and eco
nomic entanglements.

So far, Soviet Russia registers the best
success at international buck-passing
BY talking softly in Siberia she in

hopelessly behind schedule and is
valueless anyway because it is not

caught within the gangsters' guns, we

REICH TO PRACTICE
CIVIL AIR DEFENSE
'Black.out' RehearsaIs viii
Cover North Sea and

~ the Associated Press.


BERLIN, September l7.-Civil air
defense rehearsals on a scale hitherto
unknown in Germany will darken the
nights of many hundreds of North
German towns and villages for seven
nights, starting tomorrow.
Orders have been issued by Air
Minister Goering to prepare the pop
ul1tion Of the whole North Sea and
Baltic Coast area between Bremen
haven and the Polish border for
"black-out" practice. Since the most
ambitious army maneuvers ever held
In postwar Germany also are under
way, it is expected the "black- OUT
area will be involved In the sham
battles.
Central Germany to Participate.
Some sections of Central Germany
including the cities of Dessau and
Frankfort the Oder also will par
ticipate in the civil air defense prac-
tice. The deepest gloom will prevail
nightly, however, inside strip of ter
ritory so miles wide, stretching
SuiOusil tilE WliOlt llol OlltlU dItd.
Motorists have been warned to
equip themselves with air-defense
blinds for their headlights, and even
automobiles from other sections of
Germany will not be permitted to pass
through the deep-gloom strip at night
unless their headlights have been COW
cred according to specifications. The
headlight blinds obscure the whole
lens except for small perpendicular
slit about the size of a pencil.
Normal Activities Continue.
Goering's orders are that normal
traffic and activities are to continue in
the "black-out" area, but every citizen
must participate. No lights whatever
must be visible in the streets, except
the permissible small chinks of illumi-
nation allowed to automobiles. The
internal illumination of cafes, homes,
theaters and shops must be completely
masked from outside view.
Detailed information as to the army
maneuvers has not yet been published,
but according to unofficial reports no
less than four army corps (l2 divi-
sions) are participating. The princi-
pal maneuvers, it is expected, will take
place in the North, near the coast.
Mussolini is expected to accompany
Der Fuehrer to the maneuvers.
