CAR ROBBED OF
MERCHANDISE
GARDENERS LEFT CAR PARK
ED NEAR BUSY CORNER;
LOSS SAID SMALL

1t does not pay to leave valu-
able packages in cars unless they
are securely locked, and Druggist
John Gardner found it out last
night, as he told The Citizen this
morning.
He and Mrs. Gardner had re-
ceived the package earlier in the
evening and placed it in the car.
Without looking at the contents,
knowing what it contained, they
went to the picture show.
The car was standing on the
street opposite the drug store and
the brilliant light at the corner
was so bright that they had no idea
that any attempt would be made
TO rob the car.
When they came from the
show and looked in the car they
found that the box had been
stolen and the contents moved
and the empty contai thrown
aside.
Mr.. Gardner said that the con-
tents were not very valuable and
consisted of presents he and Mrs.
Gardner had chosen to send to
their child relatives. Both were
worth probably not more than
$40.

Reason for resignation of the

WASHINGTON, Nov. "a
Maybe nobody's ever going to
try to invade the United States,
but the army's taking no chances.
Up and down the Atlantic coast,
it's laying eggs-mines filled with
200 pounds of TINT. Each mine
field is made up of strings of 19
mines set 100 feet apart and about
80 feet under water.
To American or neutral ship
ping the mines are harmless, for
they won't explode on contact.
But to an enemy they would do
serious damage for they can be
exploded by electricity from va
rious shore points.
On sighting the enemy the
harbor defense crew would COM
pute his exact position, using the
process of triangulation, and
would know exactly where he
would be in a few minutes. AS
he passed over a given mine spot,
that EGG" would be sent off.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.-The
story persists in responsible inter
national circles that the German
high command has definitely
split into moderate and extremist
wings, with the moderates on top
up to now.
The moderates are supposed to
be holding out to the bitter end
against invasion of neutral Bel
gium or Holland. They not only
fear the impact of such maneu.
yer on world public opinion, but
also they are wondering if Rus
sia might not change friends in
the middle of the melee-and
hem the fatherland about with
the strongest military trap ever
devised by man.
Flank Movement Out
These moderates are also adj
vising Hitler he can't expect to
flank the Maginot Line in 1899
or 1910 any more than the Ger.
man army could flank the Allies
in 1914.
They're telling him the net re.
suit would be to achieve nothing
more than submarine and air
bases closer to the British Isles,
at the expense of many thousands
of lives. Meanwhile, the German
army's fighting front would be
doubled in length to nearly 400
miles, from the Swiss border to
Ostend, Belgium, and half of it
would be unfortified.
But what's more interesting is
the reason given for the mod
crates strong position in Nazi in
ner circles Here's the way the
story goes:
Feared Britain's Entry
When Hitler and his army COM
mand we're discussing Poland in
August, it was generally agreed
that blitzkrieg should be feasi-
BILE and-barring rain-success-
full.
But the moderates advised
against it. They said it would
draw the British into war. They
reminded the fuehrer that even
his No. 2 man-Hermann Goer-
ing-did not want to fight the
British.
Incidentally. Goering told fa-
nous American shortly before the
war started that the German

drifted merely waiting for the
end. High seas and bitter cold
left them in an exhausted state.
They sailed part of the way into
land by using their overcoats as
sails and were picked up by a
British trawler.
Nazi admiralty announced to-
day that the British destroyer
Belfast was badly damaged by a
torpedo in the Firth of Forth
when German submarine at
tackled her. British Admiralty
would give out no information
on the matter. If the report is
true it is the second sinking in
the fortified Firth of Forth.
Twenty-four neutral ships have
now been sent to the. bottom by
the mines released by German
airplanes in British waters. The
news of airplane dropped mines
caused a great stir in London.
