 GET EXCITED
Jingoistic Cards Are Now Contained in Cigar
 cite Packs

BERLIN, Sept. 8.-Cards inserted in packs of cigarettes are catching the fancy of German youths now.
 At first the cards were on such innocent subjects as flags, automo- piles, and sports; but now the fa- vorite pictures are of military characters.
 These cards started with war ships and war planes of all nations, German army uniforms and later centered on military action itself. One series of these cards pictures the World War from beginning to end Captions on the back of the cards describe the pictures.
 With the scene shifting from the front in France to Russia, from the Italian front to the Balkans and to Palestine, the series touches if vaguely - on all phases of the war.
 The part played by the Germans is glorified, and the grim aspects of the war are not shown. Only a small number of pictures give a hint of the realities of modern war. All gory features appear to be taboo,

 GroVer)

WASHINGTON, Seut. B. - The expenditure of any public money is responsibility. When the amount involved reaches $50,000000 the re- sponsibility is definitely great. But when the $50000,000 or more is to be used to purchase a battleship there is a dual responsibility-first to see that the public gets dol lars worth of ship for each dollar of the purchase price, and second, to be certain that the battleship purchased has all the desirable characteristics to make 1t of max imum usefulness in the defense of our country throughout it's 26 or more years of service.
 This responsibility is divided. The general board, composed of ex- perienced flag officers, determines the characteristics which includes tonnage, armament, cruising ra- dius, speed, vulnerability, etc.
 The technical bureaus study the general board characteristics, work up general and detailed specfica- tions, provide plans and conduct various tests in the model basins, at the boiler and other laboratories, in ordnance plants and in outside commercial plants. This work crys- talizes in the form of plans and specifications which are furnished the prospective bidders several in advance of bid openings, to enable them to make proper estimates.

Adolf Hitler today ordered Sude- ten German leaders to renew nego- tiations with the Czechoslovakian government after the break in au- tonomy conferences had given Eu- rope it's sharpest war scare and severest tension in weeks.
 Hitler, self-styled protector of Sudeten Germans in Czechoslova- kia, ordered negotiations suspended yesterday. It is said he changed his mind because of his desire to con- vince the world he is leaving noth- ing undone in an attempt to find peaceful solution of the crisis.
