Dan suggested.
you'd be surprised how folks
sense a pretty newcomer even In
this big school," said Keith.
Especially when she's walking
with Keith Rhodes" Dan volun-
teered. Keith whacked him play
fully with his notebook.
They entered room 800. Keith
looked around, whistled. Happy
day." he chorted. "This is going
to be a cinch."
DR.. Elberts course was q popu-
lar one and the room was prac-
tically filled. They found three
adjacent. seats halfway down and
near the windows. And then, only
after Keith asked another boy to
do him favor and move in the
row behind.
Look" said Keith. "This class
is too big for old man Ebert to
take attendance every day. And
it's strictly a lecture course. So
here's where little cooperation
can go long way"
Hold tight" Webber muttered

Meaning this" explained Keith
"Why do things the hard way?
You show up on Monday, Dan'll
get here Wednesdays, and I'll take
the Friday sessions. Then all we
have to do is exchange notes. This
course was just cut out for U.S."
Dan groaned. IT should have
known better. Just imagine = me
getting anything out of ypul

Joan sighed in mock resignation
"And to think I once said people
around here lacked imagination

And then in more serious tone
"You can do what you want
Keith. I'm going to enjoy thi:
course, I think, and I'll probably
check in quite regularly. If yor
want to copy my notes once in 6
while - okay - but I warn you
don't try to make a habit of it."

eye when she spoke, and he knew
she meant it.

Performances tonight at Warmers
State theater mark your last OPP
portunity to see Vera zorina and
Eddie Albert in the hilarious COM
edy ION Your Toes" also Nancy
Drew and the Hidden Staircase
with Bonita Granville in the lead
ing role.
Tomorrow the State scoops the
entertainment field in this vicinity
by presenting the most sensational
film of today, the new uncensored
"All Quiet on the Western Front"
with Lew Ayres in the leading role
and Slim Summerville and the late
Louis Wolheim heading the large
supporting cast.
Here 1t Is! The truth at last!
Uncensored by war or military
authorities, the new version brings
to localities the real lowdown on
TIE amazing and unbelievable facts
of the last war.
Mechanical armies that did not
exist during the last war, flying
fortresses raining death from the
murky skies over Europe, the Mag
mot Line OF stone and steel, the
Siegfried Line with its inhuman
tank traps and camouflaged ma
chine-gun nests; all these symbols
of present-day war have been added
to the new and exciting version OF
"All Quiet"
The Aim Is not so much an in
dictment of any one country as it
is denunciation of certain systems
of government. AS moving, STIR
ring dramatization that shows the
horror, the grim humor Of war as
it Is waged in modern times, this
production has its place in the pub
lie consciousness today.
The famous characters OF the
book by Erich Maria Remarque
played to perfection by men and
women who are among the top stars
Of today, come to life in startling
realism now that another war Is
raging in Europe.
Lew Ayres who rose to stardom
as a result of his inspired portrayal
of paul Banner" Slim Summer
vile, who plays '"Tjaden," and
others in the picture seem to be
characters in the world of 1Sn9-40
now that half of the continent once
again has answered the call to arms

be missed by anyone. Remember, it
opens a three day engagement at

JAPAN RIPS INTO POLICY

Three Newspapers M ake Simultaneous Verbal
 Attacks on U. 5.

TOKYO, Nov. 8.-Simultaneous attacks on the American foreign policy by three of Japan's largest newspapers recalled to the attention of observers the barrage of propa- ganda that preceded Japan's con- servations with Great Britain last July.
 Unanimity of the comments by the newspapers, coming in advance of the projected diplomatic talks between the United States and Ja- pan to clarify relations between the two nations led observers to believe the statements are officially in- spired
 The newspaper Asahi, citing the proposed expansion of the United States Navy and Senator Key Pitt mans suggestion of an arms en- bargo against Japan, declared that the United States is preparing for both an economic and naval pres sure against Japan.
 The newspaper Nichi Nichi said the United States is preaching peace while repeating the arms en- bargo like one money laughing at another because it has a red pos terior when as matter of fact the United States posterior is rather red now"

BULLETIN - LONDON, Nov. S.-The British Admiralty an- nounced late today that four of ficers and 49 men were lost with the Oxley.

LONDON. Nov 8.-The loss of the British submarine Oxley by an ac- cidental explosion is announced to- day in the House of Commons by Winston Churchill. He did not disclose the place or the date. The Oxley was one of Great Britain's ocean going submarines and was completed in 1927, having surface displacement of 1854 tons and with a normal complement of 54 officers and men.
 Churchill declared that thr e e times as many British hunting craft are at work now as there were at the outbreak of the war.
 Churchill said this is fairly sound and conservative estimate"
 It was also announced that Ger man submarine. losses are between two and four e, cry week.
 Churchill attributed the loss of the battleship Royal Oak at Scapa Flow to the fact that the naval base defenses are incomplete.
 Churchill estimates that Germany can produce two new submarines weekly and added: "At any rate our expectation is that we must face 100 U-boat in January less whatever sinkings may occur in the mean time"

PROPOSALS
 FOR PEACE

Three Warning Nations Are Given Messages on
 Possible Mediation
tBy Associated Press)

Proffered mediation by tho monarchs of The Netherlands and Belgium. made yesterday. raised only scant hopes for European peace.
 Three nations have recayed the offer, Great Britain. France and Germany. The three only intimated they will consider it.
 In Great Britain, Prime Minis ter Chamberlain told the House of Commons the appeal is receiving careful consideration by His Majes- tvs Government but I am not pre- pared to make any statement upon it today
 Consultations Planned
 Before Chamberlain spoke in the House of Commons, authorita- tive sources said Great Britain would consider the offer for medi- ation after consultation with the French and Polish governments before replying to Queen Wilhel- nina and King Leopold.
 French Say No"
 Unofficial French quarters and the Paris newspapers predicted no to the proposal, mentioning the fact that a similar proposal was made on August 29, just three days before the German invasion of Poland began.
 Speculation
 Speculation immediately arose whether the Queen and King made the sudden move because they feared imminent military develop ments would embroil the nations, or whether they consider present circumstances propitious to ending the conflict
 Cautious optimism is evident in The Netherlands, based on reluc- tance of the belligerents to start major land offensives.
