United States and Canada have
signed notes providing the ground
work for extension of air services
between the two countries and be-
tween the United States and Al
aska.
The arrangement permits of SER
vice between the United States and
Alaska with stopovers in Canada
and also provides for nonstop serv-
ice between the United States and
Alaska, over Canada, which the lat
ter will be subject to separate UNI
derstanding later.
The conference, resulting from
the agreements, was held at Ottawa
and was for discussion of air
routes linking the United States,
Canada and Alaska and the
strengthening of American defenses
in the direction of the Pacific.
The Ottawa sessions were held
in private.
There is also the possibility of an
eventual service between Great
Britain and the United States over
Siberia, Alaska and Canada.
Daniel C. Roper, United States
minister to Canada, headed the Am
erican delegation composed of State
Department and civil aeronautics
authority officials. Transport Min
lister C. d. Howe was the Canadian
leader.
1t Is understood that three routes
were proposed, one following the
coast from Seattle, one partly over
water and partly over land, and one
from Great Falls, Mont, over Can
ada and to Alaska.

BRATISLAVA, Slovakia, Aug. 10.
German troops suddenly took mill
tary possession of Slovakia last
night.
Tens of thousands of German
troops concentrated in a relatively
small area about Zilina, between
there and the city of Cadea, dis
lance of is miles. Civilian motor
traffic has been repeatedly inter-
rupted by movements of troops de-
ployed along the Polish frontier.
German soldiers are also reported
moving in large numbers through
the high Tatras mountainous strong
hold, northeast of Slovakia, which is
regarded as the back door to Po-
land.
1t is reported from reliable sources
that a military agreement was rati-

Hear Gen. Cox on
National Guard
Associations Attention
Also Called to
Red Cross Roll Call

Brig. Gen. Albert w. Cox, COM
manding officer of the District of
Columbia National Guard, yesterday
told the Dupont Circle Citizens As
sociation a mans greatest privilege
is to wear the uniform of his coun-
try.
Speaking at the associations first
meeting of the new civic year at the
Mayflower Hotel, Gen. Cox said the
guardsman "is not only taught to
defend his native land in time of
emergency, but he is taught the
duties of citizenship and the desire
to be a truly worthwhile citizen.
Each recruit is taught the duties
of peace as well as the duties Of
war"
The speaker added that the Dis
trict Guard membership will be in
creased shortly from 1,700 men
to the unprecedented peacetime
strength of 1900.

put the annual Roll Call over the top
with an enrolment of 125, 900 mem
bers. He emphasized that the work
Of the Red Cross was international
as we'll as national and local. He
told the association so per cent Of
all funds raised in the District went
to the relief of local needs, the
other so per cent going toward needs
of the people of the United States
and of the world.
Earl A. Nash of the Public Rela-
tions Committee of the Community
Chest also spoke at the Dupont
Circle meeting. Mr.. Nash said the
$4,000 900 goal of the Chest this year
should be realized since the people
of the Nation, having no war to
support, would contribute freely to
charity.

Admiral William L. Rodgers, U.
S. NJ, retired, offered a resolution
of coincidence to the widow of
Rear Admiral Mark L. Bristol, U.
S. N, retired, who died a few months
ago. The resolution was adopted
