CARNAGE ON THE HIGH SEAS

On the oceans of the world ships of
the nations engaged in war are bearing
the brunt of hopping up operations. The
news from the high seas has probably
been more dependable than from other
scenes of war activities.
The British have lost number of mer-
chant ships to German submarines. This
has misled some people who jump to the
conclusion that the U-boat campaign is
beginning to repeat the striking successes
of the World War.
British and French losses, just now,
are explained by the fact that German sub
marines, sent out before hostilities began,
were on trade routes, ready to waylay the
freighters and liners. When the war
started hundreds of British and French
ships were far from any warships. They
had to make the best of the situation in
which they found themselves
1t will not be long before the convoy
system will be inaugurated again and
submarines will not be able to torpedo UNI
protected ships. When the submarine
campaign reached its height in the last
struggle and seemed on the verge OF Starv-
ing the British nation, the convoy system,
plus the depth bomb attack technique, re-
stored the balance and saved the British.
Against the loss of allied ships must
be set the significant fact that German
vessels have been driven from the seas.
German merchant ships have locked and
for the duration of the war will stay
locked, except in the narrow confines of
the Baltic Sea.
Germany, one should understand, is a
trading nation, that secures its wealth
from the sale of products to other coun-
tries Without commerce Germany can
not exist as first-class power. So long as
the British fleet blockades the North Sea
the German merchant ships cannot carry
on that commerce.

good thing. If for no other rea-
son, it would re-emphasize to the
town that good pictures can be
made without examining them
with everything that is costly.
On the RKO lot, they've proved
it notably in the past couple of
years, with pictures like "A Man
To Remember" and Five Came
Back, and the more recent Full
Confession"-a dramatic study of
murderer Victor McLaglen)
and priest (Joseph Calleia) to
whom his crime is confessed. The
picture was made quietly and eff
ficiently, with, no fanfare, and it
should ride on its own to a de-
served success.

frere,S Jack Grant, who expresses

no less ccmmendable.
The best other example of the
comparatively inexpensive but
really entertaining movie comes
from Metro, where the latest of
the Hardy films, relative to Andy
and spring fever, has cleaned up

ing of the series-in my opinion
The Hardys Ride High"-con-
tanned more entertainment than
many more ambitious and cost

the adventures of the Joneses, at

neglected to include a Mickey

DAINTY DESSERT

For dessert turn out a batch of
chocolate crunch made by tossing
crisp golden rice flakes in a sauce
of melted dipping chocolate. Just
before the dinner hour, send your
youngster to the store for
family sized scoops of ice cream.
Then, break the crunch up into
crumbles and arrange, sundae style,
in deep dessert dishes. (Your
youngster will love this dessert for
his next party.) Here's how:

HOLLYWOOD, Sept. 10 (AP).-
The protracted war-of-nerves
took its toll in the movies too.
All the world has been too much
a stage of late for anybody's COM
fort, industrially or Individual
ly.
Hollywood is going right ahead
making pictures, even without
any assurance that the completed
films can be flashed on a large
portion of the worlds screens.
The prospects are that they'll
finish the currently launched Co
lossals", simply because it would
cost the studios more to drop
them than to go ahead. They've
spent too much in story prepare
ton, actors contracts. which
cost money to break, and other
details, to stop now. After that,
it looks now as if the production
schedules will settle down to
strictly 'uncolossal" basis, to pic
lures which will return a profit
minus the normally expected re-
ceipts from countries engaged
now in other activities than en-
tertairment-buying. And the big
ones, which will play this coun-
try and South America, surely,
will go back to the film vaults
after their peaceful tours of ex-
hibition to be held for a happier
day in the other regions.
The Huncolossal' business
would probably last ''for the du-
ration" and-although looking
for a bright spot for Hollywood
at the moment is like diagnosing
mosquito bite on a man with
eancer--it might in the end be

There is a general feeling that the
Serb-Croat accord, just formed, means
that YugoSlavia will defend to the end the
independence for which she so dearly paid
in the World War, and the 100000 in

that the foreign political situation has
played leading part in uniting the Serbs
and Croats, so unwittingly Hitler has done
them good deed and dealt himself poor
hand for this coalition forms Baltic bloc

If you substitute Hitlerism for Kaiser
ism the situation is the same today as it
was in 1914, and the hope of the demo-
cracies is that it will end as it did in 1918
in the overthrow of dictatorship and the
establishment of German republic. With
these experiences of the past, Germany is
not likely to make the same mistake and
allow another Hitler to rise and lead the
German people to destruction.

Comforting to the democracies must
be the fact that their bank deposits are
seven times greater than those of the

money is three-fourths of victory. Fur

interest in the day and its pos
sible outcome becomes evident
daily. There have been but few
public announcements up to this
time, candidates seeming pre-
ferring to take things easy for
the present until they can see
what the other fellow intends do
ing But things are bound to
open up with a bang within q
shert time. The announcement of
Arthur Gomez yesterday for the
position of mayor must have the
effect of bringing other talked OF
candidates to the front and they
will soon have their announce
ments appearing among the 9TH
ers. Rumor has it that there will
be at least two other candidates
for the office of MAYOR and when
their announcements are made it
is possible that others will quick
ly follow. The present captain
of police has opposition in Ever
EFT Rivas. who is working hard to
Gust Laurie Roberts. Friends of
both have strongest faith in their
candidate, each confidently pre-
dieting the election of his man.
Thomas K. Warren, present city
treasurer, has opposition in the
person of VIM. T. Archer who is
making a quiet canvass of the
city. Charles Curtis is the only
candidate so far to make formal
announcement of his candidacy.
Offices to be filled at the APP
preaching election are city clerk,
city auditor, city tax collector,
chief of police, captain of police,
seven members of the city coun-
Gil and sexton of the city ceme-
terry. Ross c. Sawyer, president
of the council, has made it def
initely known that he will not

Careful Planning
ITO get the mos, out of the Soap
Box Derby" Mr.. Holleran advised,
boys should plan very carefully
just how they are going to build
their cars and, of course, how and
where in many cases to get the
money and the parts.
Last year." the Derby director
recalled, boys searched through
their own homes and back yards
and even junk yards and alleys to
salvage wood that they could use
in building Derby racers. AS for
wheels, a lot of them came off
coaster wagons and baby carriages
The $40 cost limit" he pointed
out, merely puts a ceiling over the
expense of a Derby racer and as
sures an equal chance for every
boy in the race. Boys who buy
wheels should purchase those bear
ing the Soap Box Derby emblem,
because they are sure to comply
with the rules and regulations"
Registration for the Derby is be-
ing conducted by II Chevrolet mo-
tor car dealers in Washington, Al
exandria and Clarendon, Va, and
Silver Spring and Hyattsville, Md
Each boy who wishes to enter should
go to dealer, accompanied by a
parent or guardian, and both must
sign the entry blank and safety
pledge. The boy then will be given
the 1889 ofhcial rules for building
a racer to run in the Derby.
