dpert Wdr in Europe, Great Britain
has backed France and sent her
leading statesmen to mediate. Lord
Runcimdn is nop in Czechoslouakia,
phile Sir Nepille Henderson, Am
bdssddor to Germany, has had talks
with Chancellor Hitler.
BY the Associated Press.
LONDON. Sept. S.-British labor
today served on the government a
formal demand that Parliament be
summoned as soon as possible to con-
slider the deepening anxieties of the
European situation.
Clement r. Attlee. leader of the
Labor opposition in the House of Com
mons, presented this demand to Prime
Minister Chamberlain as Chamberlain
and other members of the inner
cabinet gathered in London TO study
the Central European snarl.
Attlee acted in pursuance of a reso-
luton adopted at Blackpool last night
by a joint meeting OF the national
executive of the Labor party, the ex-
ecutive of the Parliamentary Labor
party and the general council of the
trades union congress-the high COM
mand of labor.
Parliament recessed July 20 for
three months.
Meet at Downing Street.
Harassed by critical breakdown
OF negotiations between Czechoslo-
vakia and her autonomy-demanding
Sudeten German minority, Prime Min
lister Neville Chamberlain hurried
back from vacation in Scotland to
meet Foreign Secretary Viscount Hall
fax and Sir John Simon, chancellor
OF the exshequer.
Chamberlain received the foreign
secretary, Sir John and Sir Alexandra
Cadogan. permanent under secretary
for foreign affairs, at No. 10 Downing
street this morning.
Ihe foreign secretary postponed 4
trip to Geneva for meetings of the
League of Nations Assembly. Sir John
deferred a golfing holiday in the mid
lands.
All three expected to remain in Lon
don until the conclusion Monday of
the annual Nazi party congress in
Nurnberg, Germany.
Other cabinet ministers remained
near London although no session of
the full cabinet had been called.
Disturbed by Report.
A breakdown in negotiations be-
tween the Czechoslovak government
and the Sudeten German minority over
the latter's demands for self-govern-
ment was itself sufficient to bring the
Prime Minister back to London, but
Mr.. Chamberlain was reported to be
especially concerned about suspicious
said to have been voiced abroad that
Great Britain was responsible for the
breakdown.

IHE DRUMMER BOY shown on Mr.. Stops
cover swearing one ofthefirst official uniforms
that George Washington ordered for his army.
The coat is blue, faced with buff, with buff
waistcoat to match. The trousers and CATERS
are white buckskin - and the hat is black,
bound with gold braid.
This uniform was designed for the New York
and New Jersey troops in 1779- and Wash
ington hoped that it could be made standard
for the entire army, varying only the color of
the facing for troops from different sections.
During the first years of the Revolution,
there was no official uniform. The various
militia companies had their own distinctive
costumes. Certain units of the Massachusetts,
and Connecticut militia even wore red coats,
and were reluctant to give them up despite
the confusion with the British uniform.
Washington recognized the practical diff
iculty of clothing these miscellaneous units of
militia, and recommended buckskin, which
was fairly plentiful. And in l777 the Continen-
tai Congress authorized brown coats for all
Colonial troops, since brown dye was used by
most weavers of home spun. But neither of
these uniforms achieved very wide use.
This lack of uniformity is easy to under
stand when we remember that early in the
war the American troops were really civilians
in revolt. They were embattled farmers, and
all too often they looked like just that.

to the rest what the witch wanted
and then they all started of, with
the witch flying ahead.
When they came to the gentle
hill in front of Toyland the first rat
assigned two of his men to each Of
the mean Queens soldiers and said,
"Quick about 1t now. Gnaw the
ropes that bind those men. They
must be free before dawn"
So the rats began to nibble, nib
BILE. The rope was 50 strong that
some of the rats broke their teeth.
But they kept on. The moon saw
what was happening and was quite
disturbed. He tried to wake Santa
by shining brightly into his bed
room window. But Santa slept on.
"Snap!" went the first rope that
the rats broke. They had been wor-
ried that they might not be able
to gnaw through the rope until
then. But then "Snap!" went an
other rope. The rats little eyes
sparkled as they saw the ropes
break, and they nibbled all the
harder.
Little by little the rope was
chewed to bits. One by one all of
the Queens soldiers were freed.
The Queen was 50 pleased that she
took of a pearl necklace and handed
it to the leader of the rats. He put
it solemnly into his vest pocket and
then led his people down the hill
and away. But they made a little
rustling "scurry, scurry," as they
went. And guess who they woke up?
The very person who should have
stayed asleep! Hulda.
She was sleeping in the ermine
home that night, but when she heard
the soft tramp. tramp over her head
she sat up and looked around. The
ermine family slept soundly. But
Hulda was so curious that she
couldn't stay in bed. She crept
quietly up the tiny stairs to the
ground and slipped in and out of
the holly bushes.

at Hulda and said, Look! What is

struggling Hulda in her hands.

looking for something. She came
to a stony mountain and she flew
around it until she saw an entrance
in the rocks. Into that she flew
along a narrow corridor and finally
she came to a low room. There
sat huge rat on a couch nibblng
away at an oak root.

Hail, and what brings you here?"
asked the rat stroking his whis-
kers.
"We have need of you and your
strongest men," said the witch. "The
mean Queens army is tied up with
the strongest ropes we ever saw.
Could you come and nibble through
them?"
