David Lloyd George once called
Chamberlain a "local man with q

on him because he wouldn't fight

the late Sir Austin Chamberlain,

Of a nonentity, q hardly worth

Occupation of Czech
Area Opens Tomorrow

MUNICH, Sept. 80 (T.N.S.).
When German troops march
Iacross the German-Cze bor-
der tomorrow to begin their
progressive occupation of the
Sudetenland, they first will
penetrate the Czechoslovakian
frontier area in the southwest
ern part of the country.
Under the terms of the four
power agreement signed here
last night and accepted by the
Prague regime today, the evac-
uation of Czech Sudeten areas
and their occupation by Ger
man troops will be carried out
in four stages. The entire
process is to be completed by
October 10.
The first stage, to be carried out
tomorrow and Sunday, covers the
zone in southwestern Czechoslo-
vakia north of the German cities
Of Linz and Passau. This area
includes Wallern, Hohenfurth and
other Sudeten towns situated
along the Mondau River.
Second Stage Oct. 2
On October 2 and 3, the second
stage of evacuation and occupa-
ton will affect regions along the
northern Czech border, including
the cities, OF Bodenbach, Tetschen,
Friesland, Schoenlinde, Gross
Schoenau, Schluckenau, Rumburg
and WarnSdorf.
The next stage of the process
will be carried out on October 3,
4 and S. It will take in the Eyer
land area on the western Czech
frontier, where it forms a spear
head pointing into the Reich.
During this stage the important
cities of Eyer, Carlsbad, st. Jo
achimsthal, Marienbad, Tachau,
Meudeck, Chodau, FiSchern, Fal-
kenau, Kaaden, GraSlitZ, Asch
and Franzenbad will fall under
NaI German domination.
The fourth stage Of occupation
will be carried out October 6 and
z, affecting the Czech northeast
ern border, and including such
cities at Jaegerndorf, Freuden-
thai, Freiwaldau, AlStadt and
Jauernig.
Remaining Sudeten districts,
where the German population
does not predominant, will be
subjected to plebiScites under di.
rection Of an international com
mission.
This commission also will de-
termine during the next few days
what Sudeten areas not included
in the four stages are predoml-
nantly German in population, and
these will be evacuated by Czech
troops and occupied by Reich
troops by October 10.
The new Czech frontiers have
not yet been definitely fixed, but
this task will be completed after
the plebiscite is held.

the Washington family emblem.

Voicing distinct disappointment
Mr.. Proctor, who was chairman of
the Flag Committee Of the Fedora
ton of Citizens Associations, also
ignored in the flag selection, de-
clared: 1--WE wanted to have a flag
Of the District of Columbia. We
didn't get it. We got another en-
blem Of the Washington family. We
shall always want our own flag
symbolic Of the city of Washington
and its own traditions"
Mr.. Duhamel thought it was q
looking flag and favored it be-
cause of its simplicity"
BY resolution of Mr.. Suter, the
association favored proposed new
traffic regulations at Fairgrounds
similar to those by schoolhouses.
The association authorized pur-
chase of new electric clock, several
ash trays for smokers, but after con-
siderable humorous debate frowned
on use of spittoons. One speaker
charged spittoons were too filthy
for use in the newly renovated as

Oldest Inhubitunts Get
Famous Knopsoek
For Museum

Disregarded in selection of their
own District Of Columbia nag, and
denied national representation, or a
voice in their own government,
Washingtonians with all these in
juries grating" upon them, never
theless have been valiant in defense
OF their city and their Nation.
This was emphasized by speakers
before the Association Of Oldest In
habitants last night, when a token
OF that defense, a knapsack worn by
Former Gov. Alexander r. Shepherd
OF the District of Columbia, once a
part-oWner Of The Evening Star,
was presented to the association for
its museum In the Old Union En-
CINE House.
The knapsack was the gift Of Gov.
Shepherds daughter, Mrs. Walter
M. Brodie of this city, and was pre-
sented at the meeting in dramatic
fashion by John Clagett Proctor,
vice president of the association,
who presided.
The black leather knapsack bore
the initials IN. r." for National Ri
f1es," name of the volunteer organi-
cation in which Gov. Shepherd
served as a private. 1t was held be-
fore the association by Mr.. Proctor,
and pointed to as symbol of what
loyal Washingtonians do for their
city, and for their country, in spite
OF many evidences Of disregard.
Served Until Federals Formed.
Private Shepherd served three
months in the National Rifles, for
the protection of Washington, Mr..
Proctor said, until Federal troops
were formed and brought to the city.
The Washington Light Infantry was
also praised by the speaker for their
volunteer service.
Referring to an authentic history
Of troops from the District to show
their loyalty, Mr.. Proctor said the
new companies purchased their
own uniforms, paid for their armor-
les and rations, the Government
furnishing only arms, equipments
and ammunition"
Pointing to this and voicing dis
approval over the recent selection
of a District flag without consulta-
ton with Washingtonians, Mr..
Proctor declared: This is the part
that CRATES on the people born in
the District Of Columbia, when we
are turned down by officials time
and again."
In other words" he declared,
"Washingtonians not only saved the
District Of Columbia, but probably
saved the whole Government"
Cites Service to CITY,
Praising Gov. Shepherds public
service here, for which he said this
city will be "everlastingly grateful"
Mr.. Proctor said if it had not been
for the Governors forceful admin
istration in pulling this city out

might have been moved elsewhere"
Mr.. Proctor explained that his
own grandfather, Samuel c. Davi-
son, had served in the National
Rifles, in that early protection of
the Capital during the Civil War.

With the discovery of the Chinese

able power to shrink almost instantly
these swollen, irritated membranes
thus tending to clear the nasal passa-
ges, make normal breathing easier.
Now comes new and important
development in the use of this mar

Coughs have perfected a remarkable
Ephedrine prescription for use in re-
ieving head-colds. 1t is called REL.
REL combines a special form of
Ephedrine with another valuable in
