Ulysses was the offspring of a
master living with a female slave.
And he gratefully acknowledged
that his father honored him equal
ly with his legitimate sons. Though
free, a man in Ulysses position
depended more upon the will and
power of the father than any fixed
rights. Hence, Tecmessa appealed
to Ajax in behalf of her son, the
issue of such concubinage, in the
event of his dying during the sons
tender years, lest she should eat
the bread of slavery with her son."

MAY RETURN SHIP

WASHINGTON, Oct 25 - Au- thoritative sources leaned today to the view that the United States steamer, City of Flint, will be re- turned voluntarily to her American owners. Some authorities believe that the German government itself will take the position that the ship will be given back to the United States now that it's contraband cargo has been seized.
 The spokesman pointed to the speech of German Foreign Minister von Ribbentrop Thursday in which he took concilatory attitude to- ward the United States.
 It was further pointed out that, under International Law, the Ger mans would hardly have taken the City of Flint to a neutral port if they expected to intern her for the duration of the war in Europe. She is held near Murmansk, a Soviet Arctic port.
 Official quarters in Washington indicated from the first that no ac- tion will be adopted until full facts of the seizure are obtained.

WASHINGTON, oct 25. - We have just come back from the front at the War Department and can give an eyewitness report that As- sistant Secretary Louis Johnson is still there and so is Secretary Harry H. Woodring. in spite of strictly un- official. smelling that has continued for two years or more.
 It has been no secret for months that these two major figures in the War Department have been at log gerheads.
 Fundamentally the trouble is this.
 Woodring is no dynamo. He prob ably will not go down in history as one Of the GREAT secretaries of war Yet he was once Governor Of Kansas and has certain established qualities as an executive.

German, American 0ffit- iaIs Attempting to Get
 All Information

BERLIN. Oct. 25.-German au- thorities are working with the United States Embassy officials here to clear up the complicated circum- stances surrounding the seizure Of the American freighter City of Flint by a German sea raider.
 Charge deAffaires Alexander Kirk has been told by Baron Ernst yon Weizsaecker, Secretary of State, that the German Foreign Office of the Nazi government is discussing the case with Russia.
 The City of Flint has been taken to the Russian Arctic port of Mur- mansk
 Expert Goes to Russia
 It is understood Germany has sent marine expert to Russia to nego- tiate for release of the prize crew and establish what shall be done with the City of Flint.
 One charge for seizure is that the freighter carried contraband of war and this is acknowledged as a deli cate question of International Prize Law and is now all the more in- volved because of the fact that Rus sia is neutral.
 Germanys Report
 According to German reports, the City of Flint was taken to Tromsoe, Norway, as "unseaworthy' because the American crew put certain maps essential to navigation out of the way before the Germans took charge of the vessel.
 Lacking maps essential to naviga- tion it was explained that the ship could not navigate through the com plicated North and Baltic Sea waters and therefore was taken far north.
 It is said at Thomsoe that the prize crew attempted unsuccessfully to obtain the missing maps and then the City of Flint was taken to Murmansk.
