DIE FROM FRIGHT

Mr.. Clarence Hall, one of the lead
ing poultry growers in that section
had the misfortune to have four hun

huddled in corner several deep, and,
when Mr.. Hall entered the following
morning, he found the cat asleep in
one corner and 400 choice broilers in
another corner smothered to death.

day that the German pocket-battle-
ship Deutschland is rowing the At

Nazi challenge to finish fight.
"If that, indeed, is their decision,
there can be but one reply and we
are prepared to give It," that tall.
grave-faced Prime Minister told the
House of Commons in disdainful
comment on the speech Of Foreign
Minister Joachim Won Ribbentrop
at Danzig.

at the Nazi charge that Britain plot
ted the war, disclosed:
THAT the 10,000-ton pocket bat
tleship Deutschland sank the Brit

was picked up by the American
freighter City of Flint only to fall
into German hands again when the
American ship was taken as prize.

bombing planes were shot down out
of "a to 80 which attempted to at
tack British concoy in the North
Sea on October 81. He enumerated
a total Of 10 or II German bombers
downed in attacks on British conveys
and Scottish naval bases.
3-That the Allied counter-attack
on Nazi submarines was successful
enough to encourage belief that "this
menage to our trade" would be over
come At least one and possibly
two U-boats were destroyed In the
last week. Previously the Allies had
reported at least 20 submarines de-
stroyed.
4-That at seems now to have be-
come rule for merchant ships to be
sunk without warning"
5-That the enemy loss in mer-
chant ship tonnage in the last week
was $4,000 tons as compared to loss
of five British ships with total tom
mage of 22,715.
6-That q number Of German
ships had been seized by British
blockade squadrons, including the
Phoebus, 1858 tons: the Gloria,
$685. tons; the Biancia, 1.375 tons;
the Ploeidon, 1894 tons; the Biscaya.
$3.50 tons. Gloyds lists the Phoe-

THAT Great Britain, France and
Turkey are now discussing economic
ana financial aid to Turkey, par
ticularly regarding war supplies. as
a result of the purely defensive"

LONDON RATE ON,
BANKS LOWERED

London, Oct. 26-(UP)-The bank
rate was lowered I per cent today
to 2 per cent.
The "city" took the reduction to
mean that the war was going to be
fought with cheap money.
The rate was now back where 1t
had stood from June 80, 1882, to
August "a. 1899, when as a pre-war
gesture 1t was suddenly boosted to
4 per cent. The market criticized
this rise as a gratuitous raising Of
the cost of government. borrowing,
an dthe rate was lowered to 3 per
cent Sept. 20.
1t was believed that the reduction
to 2 per cent foreshad owed the early
