I'd. {. Women, Stranded
In Paris, Get Gas Masks

Two Washington women stranded
in Paris would be lot happier on
this side of the Atlantic-despite
their rapid education in the use of
bomb proof cellars and gas masks.
They are Mrs. Melville B. Gros-
venor, daughter -in-law of DR.. Gill
bert Grosvenor, head of the Ma
tional Geographic Society, and Mrs.
William A. Morgan, wife of Dis
trict physician.
DR.. Morgan said he talked with
his wife by transatlantic telephone
Saturday and she seemed "a little
worried"
II think she'll be very happy to
get home" he declared.
That, however, IS a problem. The
two women had booked passage on
a German liner which Cancelled its
sailings. Now Dr. Morgan is hoping
the Holland American Line will
come to the rescue of his wife and
her friend, as we'll as other stranded
Americans.
Mrs. Morgan" her husband re-
vealed, said hotel aides took her
down into an underground dugout
and told her what to do in case of
attack. Then they handed her a
gas mask and showed her how to
operate it."
DR.. Morgan, who returned from
Europe August l, said Mrs. Morgan
and Mrs. Grosvenor had visited
Italy and Switzerland before they
lot to Paris, The Morgans live at
'2010 Thirty first street NV. and
Mrs. Grosvenor lives at 2901 Wood

500 Americans Seeking
Passage From Scotland

GLASGOW, Scotland, Aug. 20 up.
American tourists, more than 600
Of them, stranded in Scotland by
cancellation of transatlantic pass
enger sailings, jammed the United
States consular Offices here today
in their efforts to arrange transpor-
tation home.
Consul General Leslie A. Davis,
heading efforts to evacuate the "refu-
gees" is getting some of them out on
small, slow freighters. But the aver
age freighter cannot carry more
than 80 passengers, even when cots
and mattresses have been spread in
the dining salon and narrow alley
ways
The visitors, from virtually every
section of the country, have return
tickets, but some are running low on
ready cash. Cancellation of ship
sailings has meant enforced resi-
dence at hotels that was not figured
in carefully planned European
tour" budgets.
Some Americans who have been
residents of Glasgow many years
are registering for evacuation-just
in case.
Some of my countrymen have
gone to Norway to try and get pas
sage home from there and others
have crossed to Ireland" Consul
General Davis said.

for the speedy evacuation of Amer
leans in wartime through four Brit

nounced today at the United States
Embassy here.
At the same time, Embassy Of
ficials announced the Swedish
American liner Drottingholm would
touch at Glasgow September to
take more than 1000 American pas
sengers to Gothenburg and thence to
New York, and that other agencies
were obtaining ships to transport
stranded Americans home.
The evacuation plans, which have
been formulated since the crisis last
September, provide for moving out
OF London to four sectors tourists
and American residents who wish
to return home.
Buses and railroads will be used
to get the Americans to the Sec
tors, the exact locations of which
were not disclosed The Embassy
did say, however, one would be in
Southern England, another in Gen.
tral England, the third in Scotland
and fourth in Ireland.
They emphasized mo sector is near

At these ports. Americans will
be accommodated until they can
be removed by United States ships.
At one point. hotel has been
obtained by the Embassy; at an
other. refugees will be lodged in
dance hall. and at third a
sanitarium will be converted into a
hotel.
I'VE will have to beat the gun
in evacuating people from London" I"
one official said. There won't be
any room for them once they start
evacuating the school children and
others. So we will try and get
them out little before war starts
If it starts"
The Embassy believes there are
5000 Americans working in London.
Most of them can take care of
themselves, the official said. The
tourists are our chief concern. They
do not know their way around Eng
land, whereas the others do. Most
of the latter have cars, and that
will make it easier. They can pro-
ceed to the evacuation sectors them

1000 Americans Registered.
The embassy has stores of gaso-
line which will be doled out to
American auto owners in emer-

- NEW YORK, Aug. 29.-Great
Britain's new Ambassador to the
United States, Lord Lothian, arrived
on the Aquitania today and said he
was convinced THE British govern
ment, Parliament and people are
now united and resolute in prepar-
ing to resist aggression as the first
step toward restoring the reign of

Lord Lothian. a bachelor, who sue

The ships windows and ports were
painted black, and blue bulbs which
gave of a faint eerie glow at night
had replaced the ordinary light
bulbs on all decks.
Capt. George Gibbons, master of
the ship, said these wartime precau-
tions of sea travel were the result
Of orders from the British admiralty
The new Ambassadors views OF
the international situation were set
forth in statement he handed to re-
porters. He remarked that public
opinion in England when he left it
last Wednesday was then already
consolidated behind the conviction
that unless resistance were made to
any further attempt to remake the
map Of Europe by violence and the
destruction of the independence of
the free nations. international life
would become intolerable for every
body.
The last remnants of reason, JUS
tice and good faith as governing fac
tors would disappear and the reign
Of the tooth and claw of the jungle
would take their place" Lord
Lothian said. Public opinion was
not averse from change and re-
vision. On the contrary. it feels
that there can be no stable peace OF
prosperity for nations unless needed
revision can be made by pacific
means. But it is also felt that the
day has come to end the successful
use of war as an instrument of i'm
perialist policy. ="

view that Germany's lost colonies
should be restored to her. Asked
