the fault of wrong feeding. For instance dogs
digestive juices are NOT made to take care Of
vegetables. Rice he can have about twice week
and in the South they feed tomatoes along with
meat as a preventative measure against the
dreaded BLACK tongue a disease that takes
away many good hunting dogs in the Carolinas
and Georgia.

only do that because it disagrees with them so

battleship Royal Oak was sunk;

naval base Tuesday when the bat
tleship Iron Duke was damaged
Mondays aerial attacks on the
Firth of Forth naval yards where
three warships were damaged and
air raid alarms along the entire
east coast of England Tuesday in
dicated the intensity of the con-
flict.
The Germans lost at least six
bombing planes in two days of raid
ing the Scottish bases and First
Lord of the Admiralty Winston
Churchill reported 13 to 20 U-boats
sunk since the start of the war. But
the Nazi victories were spectacular
demonstrations of what might hap
pen if 200 instead of dozen planes
crossed the North sea.
The British navy'S sea suprema-
cy is the greatest weapon of the
empire and the backbone of allied
defenseS. Any disaster-none is yet
seriously threarened-to the British
navy would be one of the worst
blows to the allies if not a decisive
factor in the war.
Thus, with Hitler's peace offen-
sive a failure, the Nazi strategy in
seeking a spectacular demonstration
of the vulnerability of the British
navy becomes obvious and presages
far greater German thrusts in the
future.
AT the same time, it was expected
that allied counter-b blows by air
would be forthcoming. The first
already may have been undertaken,
as Dutch reports said planes were
seen speeding toward the German
naval base at Emden and that
heavy explosions were heard from
that direction.
Several planes flew across the
lrontier toward the German naval
building yards at Emden and heavy
EXPLOSIONS were heard from that
sector a few minutes later. The
only big British air attack in the
early days of the war was on the
naval bases at Wilhelmshaven and
Cuxhaven, where they reported they
had damaged German warships.

In Biggest Drive Yet

PARIS, Oct. II. (UP)-
Seventy-six thousand German
shock troops, smashing into
the French advanced lines on
a 19-mile front, haye taken
dozen villages and several valuable
observation posts, it was disclosed
today.
The attack was made late yes
terday afternoon. Picked troops,
clad in armor reminiscent of the
days of chivalry, advanced behind
tanks and an earth-shaking artil-
lery barrage east of the Saar river.
1t was their biggest attack of the
war on the western front and the
French expected bigger ones.
The German high command as
serted in Berlin that French troops
had evacuated the greater part OF
the German territory they had held
on the western front and had re-
tired behind their own frontier.
In long communlque, tne Ger
man high command said also that
five Allied planes, two British and
three French, were shot down yes
terday while accommodating over
Germany.
Knowing from intense activity be-
hind the German lines, and the
ceaseless rumbling of transport, that
an attack was coming, the French
had cleared their advanced lines OF
all but highly trained handfuls OF
outposts. These withdrew as the
Germans advanced.
When the Germans reached the
French prepared line, they were
met by a blast of artillery and

German Airp|anes
Raid Scapa Flow,
Damage Batt|eship
Air Raid Alarms Sound
Over English East
Coast in Morning

LONDON, Oct. II. (UP)-
German airplanes raided Sea-
pa Flow at 1920 o'clock this
morning, Lord Chatfield, de-
fense coordinator, announced
in the House of Lords today. One
German plane was shot down in
flames and another probably was
damaged, he said.
Lord Chatfield said that about
four German planes participated
in today's attack on Scapa Flow.
Two bombs he said fell very near
the battleship Iron Duke, flagship
of the fleet which engaged the Ger
mans at Jutland during the World
war. The Iron Duke, Lord Chat
field said, sustained some damage
but there were no casualties.
The Iron Duke, 21,250 tons, was
built at Portsmouth in 1912. 1t was
demilitarized under the London ma
val treaty of 1881 and since has
served as training ship and for
gunnery firing practice. The vessel
has a speed of Is knots and is $50
feet long.
Air raid alarms were sounded over
wide area on the east coast of
England today when an unidenti-
fled war plane was reported near
Hull, but the "all clear" signal at
noon relieved fears of a new attack.
A German air raider was report
ed sighted at 11;12 am. over the
Firth of Forth, where Nazi planes
attacked yesterday That is almost
200 miles north of the area in
which the English coast alarms were
sounded. The report OF today's
sighting caused an air raid warm
ing in the Edinburgh area, but the
all clear signal was sounded there
at 1l:30 am.
The English warnings covered
an area inhabited by many millions
and embracing shipping, fishing and
dockyard centers.
The air ministry announced that
an unidentified plane was reported
near Hull and Grimsby shortly be-
fore II am. AS a precautionary
measure, a warning was sounded
but no enemy craft was definitely
identified

involved in today's alarms took

Horne's many Imperial Valley
friends were shocked al news Of
his death. They had believed he
was on the way toward recovery.
The banker was one of the most
prominent financial figures in the
valley. AS first vice-president OF
the Security First National bank in
Ell Centro and as manager of all
Security First National banks in
the valley, he played an important
part in the development of the
desert.
He was the Oldest banker in point
of service in the county and was
president of the Imperial Valley
Bankers association for years. He
was especially interested in agri-
cultural development. He was a
member of the agricultural COM
mittee of the California Bankers
association.
Horne's name appeared on the
membership rolls of a wide variety
of social, fraternal, and civic organ
izations in FL Centro and the coun-
ty.
He was born in Syracuse, Nebr
Aug. 13, 1879 He was graduated
from the University of Nebraska
where he majored in journalism
He was employed by Lincoln
newspaper for time and later was
on the staff at the governor OF
Nebraska's office.
He entered banking with his
father in Nebraska. In 1914 he
and Mrs. Horne visited California
On their honeymoon and decided
to remain in the west. They an
rived in the valley in 1915 and

mercial and Savings bank. Later

'AnSeleS.
In Ell Centro briefly before re-
turning to the coast, District Coun-
sci Harry Horton said two major
points, one brought by the district
and the other by the power COM
pany, would be the basis for argu-
mentS.
Nev-Cals appeal is based upon
claims that the district should be
required to pay approximately $4,-
600 in court costs growing out OF
the litigation. This was denied in
the earlier decision. The district
appeal, also denied in the earlier
decision, is based upon technical
angles of assessment deeds.
Decision in the complicated case,
handed down Oct. 81, 1888, held
that an irrigation district deed
wiped out rights of way, if assess
ments were levied before poles and
lines had been constructed.
Briefs will be filed by district
counsel in Los Angeles Friday, Hor-
ton said, in connection with the
districts refunding plan. Attorneys
for objecting bondholders then will
have Is days to file supplementary
briefs before the case is taken under
