LONDON, Sept. 2.-The tollo,oine
is the tert OF statements by Prime
Minister Chamberlain and Foreign
Secretary Lord Haitian tonight 10
Parliament
Sir Neville Henderson british
Ambassador to Berlin) was received
by Herr Won Ribbentrop German
foreign minister at $50 $3.50 pm,
E. S. T) last night when he deliv-
cred the message read to the House
OF Commons yesterday.
Herr Won Ribbentrop replied he
must submit the communication to
the German Chancellor and the
Ambassador declared his readiness
to receive the Chancellor's reply.
Up to the present no reply has
been received
1t may be that the delay is caused
by consideration of the proposals
put forward by the Italian govern
ment-namely that hostilities should
cease and that there should then
Immediately be conference of the
five powers concerned, Britain,
France, Poland, Germany and Italy.
Force Must First Stop.
While appreciating the efforts of
the Italian government, his majes-
tvs government for their part will
find it impossible to take part in a
conference while Poland is being
subjected to invasion, her towns
under bombardment and while
Danzig is being made subject to
unilateral settlements by force.
His majesty's government will, as
stated yesterday, be bound to take
action unless German forces are
withdrawn from Polish territory.
They are in communication with
the French government as to the
limit of time within which it would
be necessary for the British and
French governments to know
whether the German government
was prepared to effect such with
drawal.
Withdrawal Could Open Discussions
1t the German government should
agree to withdrawal of their forces
his majesty's government would be
willing to regard the position as
being the same as it was before the
German forces crossed the frontier
that is, we would be open to discus
sion on the matters between the
German and Polish governments on
the understanding that the settle
ment was one that would safeguard
Poland's vital interests and was Sc
cured by international guarantee.
II the German and Polish govern
ments wished other powers to be
associated with them, his maiesty's
government would be willing to
agree.
There is another matter to which
mention should be made in order
that the present situation should be
made perfectly clear.
Yesterday Herr Forster, who on
August %, in contravention of the
Danzig constitution became head OF
state, decreed the incorporation OF
Danzig in the Reich and Hitler was
asked 10 give effect to this decree by
German law.
At the meeting OF the Reichstae
yesterday morning law was passed
for the reunion of Danzig with the
Reich.
Treaty Established Status.
The international status of Danzie
as a free city was established BY
treaty, of which his majesty's gov.
ernment was signatory, and the
Free City was placed under the pro-
lection OF the League of Nations.
The rights given to Poland ir
Danzig by treaty were defined anc
confirmed by agreements concluded
between Danzig and Poland.
The action taken by the Danzie
authorities and the Reichstag yes.

ments expected to inform Germany

WARSAW, Sept. 2 (P.-At home
In KatoWice I was awakened yester-
day morning by German airplanes
overhead and anti-aircraft guns
opening up.
Since the previous nights news
had been disturbing, I decided to
leave Immediately as Katowice was
certain to become the scene OF heavy
German attacks.
I packed a bag and started driving
my car with my 9-year-old son, Jan.
Taking outside roads in order to
avoid bombing of Katowices streets,
I met hundreds of other refugees
hurrying along in the open country's
comparative safety.
Peasants Crowd Roads.
Especially along road near
Czestochowa, which runs close to
the German border. all highways
and paths were full of peasants at
tempting to escape. Some drove
cows, some carried children and
their household belongings. Some
of them were bowed under the
burden of heavy bundles slung over
their backs.
Then German planes scared over
the roadway and we were suddenly
between anti-aircraft fire from both
sides. Soldiers halted me once to
have me take wounded man, but
when they saw my small son they
waved me on and took the following
car
Drives Into Another Raid.
Germans staged another raid
while I was passing through Ra-
domsko. I saw several houses seri-
ously damaged and was told 80 were
killed and so were wounded there,
but I didn want to linger for
personal survey
Finally arriving in Warsaw, was
telephoning the American Consulate
for advice when German war planes
staged their big Friday) afternoon
raid.
That's enough for one day and I
plan to leave via Riga, Latvia, If,
and when, possible, although it now
looks almost impossible.
My husband, a Polish citizen, is
still carrying on his mining enter
prise on the Slovak- Polish border.
My son wants to go to America i'm
mediately and bring back cowboys
to fight Hitler.

Chamberlain's Second Speech.
Follolring is the tert OF Mr.. Cham
berlatn'S second speech in the House
OF Commons tonight in ans,Uer to
criticism from Ldborites:
The government is in a somewhat
difficult position. With allies who
have to communicate with one an
other by telephone it is difficult to
synchronize thoughts and actions as
quickly as if they were in the same
room.
should be Mortified if the House
thought for one moment that nv
statement betrayed the slightest
weakening of attitude which French
government and We have already
taken. I myself share the distrust
shown by the House of maneuvers of
this kind.

mad been possible for me to saw to
the House now that the French and
ourselves were agreed to make the
shortest possible limit to the time
when action should be taken bv
both. ~

am the last man to neglect any
opportunity of considering every
serious chance of avoiding the great
catastrophe of war, even at the last
moment.
But I confess in present case, I
should have to be convinced of the
good faith of the other side in any
action which they took before I
could regard this proposition, which
has been made to us, one from
which We could expect a reasonable
chance of a successful issue.
anticipate the only one answer
that I can give to the House tomor-
row. I hope myself that the issue
will be brought to close at earliest
possible moment so we may know
where we are.
I trust that the House, realizing
the position which I have tried to
put, will believe mel speak in
complete good faith and will not
prolong the discussion which per-
haps might make our position more
embarrassing than it is.

Appeasement has cost Abraham
Richard Hewitt, local hardware
merchant, $3.50.
Hewitt deals in metal garbage
cans, but for his own home he used
a wooden box, thus violating To-

magistrate tried to persuade Hewitt
to reconsider his firm stand and
use metal garbage can.
Don't you ever change your
mind?' the magistrate asked of
Hewitt.
No, sir" he replied. MY name
is not Chamberlain. You can't Hit

AS this was the third time that
Hewitt was summoned for the same
offense, he was ordered to pay

day he had violated the law.

Grizzly and Two Women
Meet the Same Hard Luck

ROMAN, MONT.-Mrs. Charles
Joyce and her sister, Mrs. Fred Ow-
ems, together with a grizzly bear,
all played in the same luck.
The two women were driving
alone when a grizzly, evidently los
ing its footing on a nearby hillside,
came bouncing down the hill and
landed plump on the front of the
car. The women had no firearms
and the bear was too groggy to at
tack them.
So both went different ways. the
bear in rather zig-zag manner
and the auto at high speed.

 After some more barn. -storming she returned to London in 1918 in a review called "Mr. Tower of Lon- don." She was the success of the show. In London and on tour she appeared in it for 4OO0 perform ances. Her reputation was made. Another review, By Request" ran for three years.
 IDOLIZED BY
 ENGLISH FANS
 From that time on, whether in review, in the music halls or film, she knew nothing but success She especially queens it in the music halls by reason of her sparkling vitality, her inimitable Lancashire humor and her remarkable voice.
 She never caught on with Ameri- can audiences. They could not un- derstand the dialect. But she can well do without American apprecia- tion. She has probably the biggest income by far of anybody fin the stage and film world of Britain.
 Recently she went to the hospital for a major operation. Newspapers issued daily bulletins on her condi- ton just as they would do for roy- alty. They knew the public was tre- mendously interested in knowing how Oracle was doing. Rich people and poor people sent tribute of fruit and flowers to the hospital It's the kind of personal affection none of the famed Hollywood stars has ever been ahla to achieve.

two heart tricks. He cashed the king and ace of spades, then the king of diamonds, upon which he dis carded heart.
 Another round of trumps put South in the lead to play his heart. | When West played low, dummy played the ten and East won with the ace. East had an easy exit with a club.
 The king of hearts was cashed and a club discarded. Next the seven of hearts was led, but when the queen failed to drop, there was no easy way for South to dispose of his losing club.
 While we may sympathi2e with declarer, think he was wrong in discarding the heart on the dia- mond king. With this play, two heart tricks must be developed to take care of the small heart and one club in South's hand. Mathe- nautical odds are to 1 that East does not hold both missing heart honors. There is only the question of the guess on the first heart lead.
 At trick two, if declarer leads heart, illnesses the tention knocks out East's ace, you can see that he has safe heart finesse and the two losing clubs can be discarded on the king of hearts and king of diamonds.
 Today's bridge quiz: if you open the bidding with one heart and your partner responds with two no trump. what picture of his hand Is conveyed to you?
 Answer: The bid of two no trump is Q limit bid and shows definitely from two and one.haif to three honor tricks. While 1t denies four trumps, 1t shows some fit in hearts.
