tober 18, when the Germans painted
out all traces of American owner
ship.
The colors Of Denmark were shown
on canvas stretched amidships, he
said, but the Danish flag was never
flown.
This procedure is believed to be
in accordance with international law
as long as guns are not used" Capt.
Gainard said.
ION October 20 the German prize
! crew hoisted the German merchant
I flag. Later on that day we anchored
in Tromso Harbor. I maneuvered
the ship with the assistance of the
Norwegian pilot.
Shortly after the Norwegian

customs ofncials came on board. We
were in Tromso overnight"
At this point he said the crew

entered port to anchor. tried con-
tinually to get in touch with our
Ambassador, but did not succeed
during our six days stay. On the
fifth day at 3:45 I was told that the
ship was again a German prize, anc
we were to leave at once.
"All this time the condition of my
omcers and crew was good"
He praised the high standard" o1

that the present Germany, instead
of being 95 per cent patriotic, as in
1914, includes at least 10000 900 peo-
ple-Poles, Czechs, Slovaks, Aus
trians-who not only are opposed to
the Hitler regime, but long to be
liberated from the German yoke
And this can be accomplished only
through a German defeat.
These people are in no position
to break out in open revolt, but
their presence in the Reich is a
source of disunion and disaffection
which must be counted one Of the
major weaknesses of tie German
position today and strong factor
operating in the direction of Short

In connection with their unit of
study, the children Of Miss Harris

booklets. Various illustrations of
the food, shelter and clothing they
have will be put in them to make
the unit more interesting. All the
pupils enjoyed the talk on "The

stressed most were that they should
use toothbrush in order to have
clean, healthy teeth; to visit den.

Two inseparable friends, Moe and
Joe, were employed in an industrial
plant as general utilitymen to take
over any odd job that might arise.
One day they were assigned the task
of cleaning one of the fat, squat
chimneys of the factory. The work
progressed beautifully for about 10
minutes and then Moe made a par
ticularly clean sweep of things. He
leaned too far and as he fell he
clutched Joe by the leg and yanked
him off balance. Both of the men fell
to the bottom of the stack and were
bruised but not seriously hurt. Joe
was very indignant and disguised at
Moe for pulling him down, too, and
wouldn't speak word to his friend.
To add insult to injury, Joe had got
ten his face very dirty in the fall,
while Moe hadn't gotten his dirty at

bucket of water and washed his face.
Moe did likewise and when he fin

The question is: Why did Moe wash

needed to be defined. The Bill of Rights
also protects the rights of the rich ant

can be no exceptions.
There can be no exceptions in the appli-

when those whose rights are protected are
members of unpopular minorities. The ma

new doctrines are fanatics, hopelessly and

The bravery and determination of the

tracted the sympathy of many peoples and
other nations are endeavoring to provide
aid for them. But up to now it has been the
courage and ingenuity of the Films them
selves in the main which have tended to
thwart Soviet movements against the lit
tie country, although weather has been an
element of advantage to them.

two to four years, to determine whether
sheriffs elected in 1898, at the same cleo
ton at which the constitutional amend

ruled that this amendment should not be-
