in Germany's former colonies. At first glance this drive on col- onies simultaneously with a drive for independence from imported raw materials appears contradictory. If the four-year plan to get Germanys raw materials out of Germanys soil, as, for instance, through con- version of coal into gasoline and wood fiber, into wool, is successful. then will there be any need for col- onies?
 The answer is found in Hitler's oft quoted book, My Struggle" Colonies may be source of raw materials in peace-time, he points out, but Germany's World War ex- perience teaches how disastrous it is to depend on raw materials from overseas in war emergency.

 But in time of peace colonies can provide those additional markets and additional raw materials which might mean the difference between mere existence and prosperity.

TT was really very simple"
Sylvia said with a laugh. James
took us into the library, where a
fire was still smouldering, and
fetched in bedding. The children
rather enjoyed the fun-it was
like camping out to them. They
are very quick and mentally over
developed, but they know they are
in some danger, and rather like it."

"Of course. James showed them
over the whole place, but, you see,

Are you joking?" His mind
was confused with fever and he
could not grasp her meaning.
Sylvia leant forward and spoke
low. There is a passage from the
library leading to the organ loft.
None Of us ever suspected it, but
James used it when he went to
the organ, and Sir Henry had
shown it to him. He says that

just a door, and a staircase, but
then the builders made the door

James had locked up.

intolorable. The doctor had stern
ly warned him that if he attempted
to get up without permission it
would be his duty to inform Lady

him that patience was necessary,

him.

one of the maids was sent.
Darkness had fallen-a sullen
impenetrable darkness that might
be felt. Reid had put on a dress

couch. He felt restless and un-
easy, and intensely lonely The
entire absence of news was dis
quieting.
A very gentle knock came at the

it. If the night had not been so

louder, and he called YEARLY,

For some reason the girl fidgeted

in the darkness he knew her.

revulsion Of feeling.

He could hardly realize that it
was really a living being, and not

haunted him. Sylvia came back,
and sat on the edge of the couch.

Roman Catholic Churches Are Guarded h JugoslaDia

Belgrade, Jugoslavia, July 20-- (UP)-Romar Catholic churches throughout Jugoslavia were guarded heavily by police today in fear of attempts by angry partisans of the Greek Orthodox church to destroy them. A long threatened crisis in religious matters reached its climax yesterday when parliament began consideration of e treaty between the government and the vatican. An Orthodox bishop was beaten rn- conscious in the streets last night and Orthodox members of parlia- ment, hearing of the attack, precipi- tated a fight in the chamber. It was necessary to suspend the ses- sion. Tension spread through the nation as, at the order of the Or- thodox holy synod, bells tolled in Orthodox churches throughout the night. Worshippers crowded to the churches to pray.
 The Greek Orthodox church had opposed so bitterly the govern ment,s treaty or concordat with the vatican, that 1t announced 1t would excommunicate any Orthodox dep- uty who voted to ratify t.. The government, as the result was faced with dilemma: If parliament rat- flied the treaty, Orthodox church members would d0 all they could to destroy its eifcctiveness: if lt did not Roman Catholic croatiails osid slcvenes would resume theiF cppo-

AMERICA LOSES
 GOOD CHANGES
Bryan Grant Was Defeated By Henner Henkel; vOn
 Cranim and Budge

Wimbledon. England. July 20 - CU.P.) - Henner Henkel of Ger many defeated Bryan (Bitsy) Grant of the United States, 7-5, 2-6, 6-3, 6-4, today to level the Davis Cup interzone final tic at two matches all.
 Donald Budge of California and Baron Gottfried von Cramm then took the court for the final and de- ciding match of the best three -of- five series. The winner of the tie will meet England, the cup-holder, in the challenge round late this week.
 Henkel held command throughout most of the match, although in the second set, after Grant had forced him to retreat to the baseline, 1t appeared as though Grant might emerge eventually as the winner.
 The husky Germans powerful service began taking it's toll, and al. though the small Atlantan retrieved tirelessly, he was often caught fiat- footed by sparkling volleys.
 Won Cramm won the first set, 8-6.
 The weather was warm. A bright sun was shining and a slight breeze was blowing lengthwise of the court. Grant wore long trousers which made him appear even smaller than he did on Saturday when he wore blue-striped shorts. A crowd of B. 900 was present at the start of play.

sition to all government programs. Fearing outbreaks, the government Sunday forbade mass meetings or parades of Orthodox church ad- herents throughout the country.
 In defiance of this edict 30 Ortho- dox priests paraded the streets last night with flags after attending a service for the Orthodox patriarch Varnava, who IS Ill. Bishop Simeon. of Schanaz, was beaten uncon- scious during the parade. Orthodox church adherents charged that po- lice were the attackers. As soon as this news reached the chamber, there were cries from Orthodox deputies: Police are beating priestsl" A general fight broke out and 1t was reported that one priest- deputy was injured so severely that he was taken to Q hospital.
 The chamber recessed until today. It was ordered that to prevent in- cidents all priests, Orthodox or Catholic, should be barred from the galleries. Police announced that they dispersed processicns in which the bishop was beaten, saying that coIil-
 munists and other left wing pclit- ical clements were attempting to exploit the vatican treaty for their own purposes. This did not quiet the situation. Crowds turned out into the sterets, excitedly discussing the beating. and it was feared that dis orders would spread.

 NOT COME TODAY

Greenfield, Mass, July 20-U.P) The July session of Franklin county superior criminal court open ed today with the assault case of former Dean Thomas E. Elder. 55, of Mount Hermon School for Boys on the docket.
 Nine other cases, four of which were expected to require trials, pre- ceded the Elder case, however, and 1t seemed unlikely the retired edu- cator would go on trial before late tomorrow or early Thursday.
 Elder has been indicted on charges of assault and assault with intent to murder s. Allen Norton, 66, former cashier at Mount Hermon.
 The alleged assault occurred the night of May 25 in Norton's garage. Elder brandished a shotgun at him, Norton said.

Elder claimed he spent the night in question with Mrs. Elder at a Keene, N. H., hotel. Mrs. Elder was expected to be an important defense witness.

DOCTOR MURDER
 STILL MYSTERY
Providence Physician Was Shot Down in Home;
 Not One Real Clue

x Providence, R. l., July 20-(UP)- Dr. George w.. Webster, 39, slain society doctor, may have had a premonition of death, investigators believed today. They based their theory on these facts:
 1.-Two days before he was shot down early Friday in the vestibule of his fashionable east side home he signed a will leaving his entire estate to his wife Kathryn with the charge that she should care for their daughter Marjorie, 2.
 2-Four days before the murder, he applied-and subsequntly was re- jected on a technicality-for $25,- 900 life insurance policy.
 3-He spent five hours in the back room of a drug store Thursday night and early Friday, perhaps fearful that death lurked at his home.
 The will actually was drawn by former U. s. Attorney Charles P Sisson. June II, but was not signed by Dr. Webster until Wednesday. Amount of the estate was not dis closed.
 Father Gives Views
 The slain doctors father, Dr, Samuel c. Webster, Westerly milk officer, joined police today in ad- vancing the theory that the killer was a person with "real or fancied" grievance.

Opinion among the IS board members was divided as the conference began. It was the belief of several officials that busting Green would tend to make the mild-mannered federation leader 3 martyr"
 Many of the more militant board members felt that Green had vio- lated provisions of the unions con- stitution outlawing "dual union" movements and that he should be expelled from his membership of four decades.
