He is known as the General

to his suppressing the San Paolo
revolt in 1882, and disclosing pen
chant for cooperation with the
government thereafter. Washington
made great fuss over him, when
he was here last July, having pre-
vailed over Germany in an encoun-
ter of international tuft-hunting-
Germany was readying big party
for him, but he stopped off here,
instead.
Fifty years old, round-faced
and amiable, he is professional
soldier, but bears none Of the
impress of the military career
ist. He moved up slowly through
grades in the army, and did not
become a captain until 1924. He
became chief Of staff in 1882,
commanding an army of $1,000.
In 1886, his son, Lieut.. Pedro

killed in an airplane accident. He
has one daughter.

Gen. Gort on Job ne was one OF

men in the early days of the World
war, staff officer, in many en-
gagements, honored with the Mill
tary cross, the Victoria cross and
the Distinguished Service order. He
is rather slight in stature.
He was trained at Sandhurst,
and in the World war gained a
reputation as a shrewd strate-
gist, capable Of scoring with

He is distinctly Of the pre-1914
school of army tradition, and
that has been a matter of con-
siderable satisfaction in Eng

Septuagenarians, whispering in

US. MAY CONTROL
 MANY PRODUCTS

Berlin, Oct. 1(UP The weekly bulletin of the German Institute for business research forecast today that in event of a long war, which compelled Great Britain to realize her foreign investments, the United States would gain control of key products and industries of the Brit ish Empire.
 Britain would be forced to yield control over a number of the most vital sections of the empires econ- omic life to America if she tried to mobilize her foreign investments to any considerable degree as in the last war;" said the bulletin.
 'This would mean that the United States would gradually acquire com- plete control over copper and gold mines in Africa, tin mines in Malay, nickel and coal mining in Canada and many other key industries of the British Emuire, and thus slow ly but irresisitibly deprive Britain of her economic world power.

 Reports were circulated that Ger man-Italian consultations, handled by Hitler and Mussolini personally, would be started tomorrow. But 1t was believed that Hitler intended to study reports of his ambassadors at Rome, Moscow and Ankara, Tur- key, before he initiated formal ne- gotiations with Mussolini.
 Whatever else may happen, Nazis said, 1t was certain that both Ger. many and Italy would press Turkey for a clarification of her attitude.
 Hitler conferred for several hours yesterday with Baron Franz Won Papen, his ambassador to Turkey, who hurried home as soon as it was made known that the three-power pact would be signed.
 It was expected that Papen would start back to Turkey within 8 few days, with a number of specific questions drafted by Hitler for the Turkish government regarding its attitude toward Germany.
 Hans Georg Won Mackenser1. am bassador to Rome, was expected to come here to report to Hitler, and 1t was believed that Count Friedrich Won Der Schulenburg might come from Moscow.

TOMMY MANVILLE
 TO MARRY AGAIN
Bride.to-Be Being Whisked Across Country By
 Special Plane

Hollywood, October 21. - (UP)- Tommy Manville's fifth bride-to-be was winging across the country to his ever-loving side today all alone in a 15-passenger airplane he char tered for her at cost of $2,600.
 She Is Elinor Troy, a beautiful and shapely showgirl known as The girl in the goldfish bowl" because in her night club act she appears in a big glass cage without benefit of hardly even goldfish.
 American Air Lines said 1t re- ceived a rush order from the million aire asbestos heir yesterday to fly his sweetheart to him in the big Douglas sleeper plane, regardless of cost, but with the proviso:
 "See that you deliver her in New York by 9:30 o'clock with every hair in place."
 Miss Troy said Manville would be waiting at the airport this morning, and they would be married immedi- ately at the Little Church Around the Corner.
 we've been engaged for three months" she said, land I've been expecting Tommy to call any min- ute. He called yesterday and said to rush right to New York and marry him. I said I didn't have a thing to wear, and he said that's all right, he was chartering a plane to wrap around me. I'm still sort of dazed."
 For Manville, hiring plane for a love journey is nothing new. He once chartered @ special train to bring his secretary to him. But his fiancee is plenty new, by Manville standards.
 She is a striking brunette, and the playboy is internationally famous for his choice of blondes. He has mar ried four of them, and been divorced from them very expensively. More over, Miss Troy is even more famous as a puncher than Manville, who has engaged in some notable battles with his wives. She once marched into . New York night club and socked Jack Doyle, the Irish Thrush of the prize ring. She said he had passed up date with her.
 Miss Troy, trying to break into the movies, has been in Hollywood three months with her mother, Mrs. Else Edmonston of Washington. D. 0. She recently divorced Charles Carrara, New York night club owner.

 Peace Instrument
BY HENRY SHAPIRO United Press Staff Correspondent)

NOuAsCW 8EeSS os@Ak NVAAeSPVnuShv
 Moscow, October 21. - (UP) - Great Britain and France have failed in an at- tempt to drive a wedge between Russia and Germany through their mutual aid pact with Turkey, but have succeeded in drawing Turkey into the orbit of war, the official government news paper Izvestia charged today.
 In this first expression of official opinion on the mutual air pact and the failure of negotiations between Russia and Turkey, 1zvestia said that Russia had nothing to regret. But it showed plainly the Bolshevik resentment of the pact and 1t was frank in its recognition of the treaty's importance.
 Makes Several Points
 Its points were:
 1. Britain and France hoped, tAAOuSA bAAC k7St hAA4 Q 4s0oSe- 4 IA n ish treaty to drive e wedge between Russia and Germany. 2. The treaty creates a new bal- ance of power in the Mediterranean.
 5. It is not an instrument of peace.
 1. Russia has maintained its neu- trality and free hand.
 5. The same, however, can not be said of Turkey, which ''tas assumed such responsibility as can not but tell upon her policy in the very near future"
 Publishes Full Text
 Thus, while Germany sought to minimize the effect of the treaty, Russia emphasized 1t and incident ally published its full text for the Russian public.
 Discussing jointly the abortive Russo Turkish negotiations and the three-power pact, Izvestia said:

 New York, October 21. = (UP) - The storm-battered United States liner, President Harding, ::docked today with 73 of the passengers and crew injured, 25 of them stretcher ambulance cases. A gigantic wave, churned up by a hurricane, struck the ship about 9:3O o'clock last Tuesday night in mid-Atlantic. af- tes 1t already had ridden out 110- mile an hour winds.
 The ship almost foundered with her 597 passengers and her crew of 300.
 All the casualties were suffered when the wave hit, rolling passen- gers across decks, down companion ways, against the walls of roofs.
 Careened 39.7 Degrees
 % Louis Kartinski, mathematics professor at the University of Mich- igan, one of the passengers, said that by official recording, the ship had careened 39.7 degrees.
 Six of the crew on the poop deck were engulfed by the wave and one of them, Paul Johnson, cabin boy, was swept overheard and lost. His was the only fatality but many pas sengers were seriously hurt.
 Dr. Hugh s. Bonner, Boston, one of the seven doctors among the passengers, said there was utmost confusion and that 1t was impossible for some time to mobilize the doctors for any efficient care of the injured.

Heroic Tale Of Rescue At Sea Just Revealed
American Freighter Sees Two British Boats Sunk By Sub; Brings All Survivors to Port at Bordeaux;
 German Commander Thanked U. s. Captain
BY IRENE TAYLOR

Limited Press Stan Correspondent)
 Bordeaux, France, Oct. 21 - U. P.) A woman watched the body Of her husband consigned to the sea from the deck of the American Freighter Independence Hall - an- other had lost her four children.
 These were two of the individual tragedies the little American ship brought up the Gironde river from the sea last night. She carried 284 survivors of two torpedo British ships and their stories revealed Q tragic adventure, poignant and dramatic.
 The first check-up indicated that 6l persons were missing from the passenger liner, Yorkshire. 10,l83 tons, an Indiaman. and six or seven from the freighter City of Man. dalay, TOPS tons. All were believed dead.
 Last Monday some 400 miles of Bordeaux, the Independence Hall, picked up an sos from the York shire. She rushed to the position given and found the City of Manda. lay standing by the stricken vessel.
 Captain c. J. MacKeuzie. master of the Independence Hall. was about to exchange the usual pleasantries by radio and continue his course when he saw the second ship buckle in the water. She seemed about to break in two. She had been torpedoed by a then unseen sub marine and nine minutes later she plunged.
 She was the freighter, City of Mandalay, TOPS tons.
 Captain Mackenzie lost no time. His boats were over the side in a twinkling, aiding the boats of the City of Mandalay and the Yorkshire in transporting the survivors to the Independence Hall. While this was going on the submarine broke sur- face. and ran up close to the Amer ican freighter, on whose sides were painted great American flags.
 An ofIicer, apparently the com mander, was on the coming tower bridge. He called up to Captaar Mackenzie on the Independence Halls bridge.

Legal Action Against Nominee Threatened
May Result in Court Suit By Bergin Supporters; Party Rules Hastily Amended to Cover Situation

Threat of legal action to keep his name from going on the voting machines in the city election Nov. IA, today faced Homer R. Bernier, who was nominated" for city clerk by the Republican town committee at special meeting last night. The town committee named MT. Bernier after the city convention had re- mained deadlocked for two lengthy sessions, failing to choose between him and John J. Bergin, indepen- dent candidate for the nomination.
 The vote to nominate MT. Ber- nier was taken last night only after the party rules had been amended so that such action could be taken. Backers of MT. Bergin questioned the legality of the group headed by Town Chairman J. Warren Upson, and asserted that they would go to the courts to keep MT. Bernier's name from being listed on the ma chimes. It was learned that coun- sel has been, retained, and that plans are being made for an injunction proceeding against the Republican organization.
 The town committee decided on MT. Bernier last night despite the fact that 1t is not yet officially ad- journed. MT. Upson and his 16 del- egataes walked out of the conven- ton during a recess Wednesday night, after 17 ballots had all ended in tie vote, 16-16.
 Supporters of MT. Bergin were largely the same as those backing Mayor Patrick M. Perriello for the nomination for mayor. MT. Perriel- 10 was defeated in the city conven- ton, 17-15, the designation going to his secretary. Charles c. Foster.
