Kennedy Finds Britain Reluctant
To Colonize Jewish Refugees
u. S. Envoy Offers Plan
But Britain Wants Homes
Given Elsewhere

LONDON, Nov. l6.-(UP)-
United States Ambassador Jos. P.
Kennedy, undertaking bold plan
to find new home abroad for many
of Germany's 100000 terrorized
Jews, last night was understood to
have found Great Britain reluc-
tant to throw open her colonies to
large-scale immigration.
Informed persons described as
disappointing" the results thus
far of Kennedy's efforts to induce
Britain and other nations to join
in practical plan of freeing thou
sands of Jews from Nazi wrath.
Kennedy has been comforting
with Prime Minister Neville Cham
berlain and other cabinet minis
ters, including leaders Of the do
minions and colonial offices.
Coincident with Kennedy's init
ative the Netherlands appealed to
Britain, France, Denmark, Switz-
erland and Belgium, to open their
frontiers to the German Jews.
Neither Ambassador Kennedy's
nor The Hague governments
move aroused much optimism
among diplomats last night, how
ever, although the Anglo United
States collaboration raised Jewish
hopes.
One well-informed source de-
scribed the results of Kennedy's
proposal as follows:
The British government explain
ed that it would GLADLY" give
temporary shelter to German Jew
ish refugees providing the United
States and other countries would
provide permanent homes for
them at later date.
Kennedy, answering the British,
pointed out that the United States
is able to offer refuge only with
in the limits of its immigration
quotas which restrict German i'm
migrants to less than 10000 a
year and pointed out that the Ger
man quota for the year ending in
July, 1889, already is filled.
Kennedy then suggested that
Britain might accommodate many
Jews in the sparsely-populated
stretches of the empire.
The British contended that their
ability to absorb refugees is near
the "saturation point" and that,
although there are some facilities
in northern Rhodesia and Kenya
Colony in Africa, these possibili-
ties are limited.
Australia has been quietly Civ
ing homes to groups Of German
refugees but Canada, South Africa
and other parts of the empire have
refused to take them.
France, Belgium, Switzerland
and other European countries like
wise have announced that their
ability to take Jewish refugees is
at the "saturation" point.

of carbolic acid at DR.. Logan
Roots, veteran American mission

their efforts to expel Chinese
refugees from st. MichaePs
church in Wuchang, according to
messages from Hankow today.
The missionary, who is chair

Japanese authorities took the
protest under consideration but
refused permission for the Ameri-

Bishop Roots had gone to the
church to investigate reports of
attacks on Chinese women by
Japanese soldiers.
The incident occurred Sunday

Winning Contract
By THE FOUR ACES,
Grand Slam,

THE Cavendish Club has taken to
five-suit bridge like q duck to
water. and every day sees several
games in progress with slams being
bid In great profusion. Many players
believe that the frequent slam hands
that arise and the weird distributions
that pop up from time to time make
the game far more thrilling than con-
tract. On this hand Merwin D. Maier
and B. J. Becker bid and made a grand
slam, although their opponents held
three aces.

Mr.. Maier's opening bid Of one eagle
was justified only by mentally adding
the widow card, the ace Of eagles, to
his hand. After West passed, Mr..
Becker responded with two spades and
East overcalled with three clubs. After
Mr.. Maier rebid to three eagles, West,
anxious to obtain the use Of the widow,
bid four hearts and Mr.. Becker then
made q fine bid. Holding two single
tons in the suits the opponents had
bid, Mr.. Becker realized that If either
Of these suits were to be opened he
could discard his singleton and place
the ace of eagles with his trumps and
ruff the opening lead. Thus Mr.. Beck
er contracted for seven eagles and
when q club was opened the hand was
. laydown.
This introduces q defensive principle
entirely different from contract, which
is, when it appears that either de-
clarer or dummy is likely to be short
in two suits mentioned by the defend.
ing side, the opening lead in a third
suit is to be preferred. Thus If West
had opened the ace Of diamonds, the
contract could not have been made.
After winning the first trick, West
would simply note which singleton de-
clarer would discard from dummy. He
would then naturally lead the other
suit.

'0NE day, while still in school, Anna
Sewell tripped and sprained her
ankle. Lack Of proper care perma-
nently crippled her; it was years be-
fore she could walk even a short dis
tance.
Anna's mother was able to support
the family by writing poetry. and

Europe on the money she earned.
During this period Anna learned to
love horses, and was frequently
shocked at the cruelty with which
they were treated.
This. coupled with the influence Of
reading Horace Bushnell's Essay on
Animals" inspired her to write book
that would help end their mistreat-
ment. Anna called her book BLACK
Beauty from the start. Most of the
time she worked on her book Anna
was confined to her bed. Often she
was too weak to write; at these times
her mother took dictation from the
bedside.
Finally, in 1877, Black Beauty"
was published, but Anna Sewell did
not live to see the tremendous sales
it attained. She had sold her book
to her publishers outright for q few
pounds-less than 500. Anna died

Canine Courageous
by EARL 7. DELoAcH

ROWNIE is just dog - a small dog,
~ even for fox terrier - but he is
one of the best success stories I
- know. The first time you see him
you feel sorry for him; but you soon learn
that he has something inside him that
makes outward appearances of no moment.
Brownie has only two legs-two left legs,
mind you! But his eyes, with their CHEEKY
sparkle and eager friendliness, so distract
you from his handicap they make you
understand that he is definitely not to be
pitied. Besides. he is one of the happiest.
most zestfully alive little cusses that ever
chased cat or gnawed a rubber ball.
1t is hard to believe that misfortune
could fall so heavily on such a little fellow
without crushing out his life. His escape
from death was we'll nigh miraculous
Ill luck in the form of locomotive over
took Brownie Its wheels crushed both his
right legs. cut off part of his tail and left
him lying on the track, bleeding, broken
little bundle of agony.
When his master, Mr.. c. N. Wylds of
Augusta, Ca. rushed to him, Brownie,
though near death, feebly licked the hands
that tenderly lifted him. This only made
his masters next task more difficult
Despairing of Brownies life. Mr.. Wylds
took him to veterinarian to have him
chloroformed. 1t would at least end his
suffering.
The veterinarian looked into Brownies
eyes. He saw the agony there, but no
cringing; nor did he hear whimper of
complaint.
mo" he said. Let's try to save him."
by all means, if there's a chance, the
master said.
For him, believe there is, " the doctor
answered. =
Brownie was anesthetized. and the man.
gled legs were amp1tated. For days he lay
on his side, too weak to move and very
near death. The veterinarian watched over
Evening star., 1938-03-06

him, and worked On a tiny artificial leg.
Brownie showed scarcely any sign of life.
Days passed. The doctor tossed the un-
finished little peg leg aside. The only hope
left lay in Brownie and nature.
Finally Brownie gained enough strength
to prop up little on his good front leg. :
His tail wagged feebly when food was
brought. He ate a little. The veterinarian
hunted up the unfinished artificial leg; but
before he could finish it, Brownie was NOV
ing around the yard. 1t was an uncertain
and dawkward process at first. Periodically,
he had to learn to run before he could
learn to walk - his center of gravity had
shifted so that he couldn't maintain his
balance if he tried to move slowly. He had
to select his objective and run to it. As he
mastered the new art of balance, however,
he was able to vary his speed.
Now, only few months after his
accident, Brownie can go wherever he
pleases at about any speed he chooses.
And for good measure, he can leap about
as high. to catch ball, as any dog in his
neighborhood. He still cannot walk or
stand still. When he stops, he has to sit
down or lean against something. When
called, he comes running and usually props
against an ankle or a foot, where he waits
to be petted or begs for romp with his
ball. Sometimes, while chasing and re-
trieving his ball, he loses his balance and
tumbles; but this never dampens his en-
thusiasm or his pleasure.
Maybe Brownie doesn't realize his
handicap. Maybe, however. deep down in
that brave little heart of his, there is some
feeling, some urge, some instinct - call it
what you will - that prompts him to
ignore it, because he asks no sympathy
or devotion except that inspired by the
love and loyalty he 50 freely gives.
He has made his handicap nonexistent
within himself, and, in 50 doing, he has
completely overcome it.
