Wife Returns After Trial Union
With New Man; So the Negro
Democrats Are Returning to
Old Home

Republicans all over the state
of West Virginia, and in fact,
practically all over the country
are learning that the time is
just about here when decent
and systematic changes must be
made in administrative policies
Then too, it is so singular to find
leading Democrats, partjsans of
the highest in rank wanting TO
see a change in official authority.
Loyal Democrats are just dis
turbed as never before to find
their party losing in popularity
so soon. Colored men and wo-
me, who spasmodically became
insane, wanting bought and
paid for jobs, having left the
party of their lifetime choice,
are today making it known that
hey are wanting to return home.
They say they are not against
the New overnight Democratic
party because they are mad with
the new party but they h ave
found out that the leaders of the
New Deal party cannot deliver
the goods. They freely and frank
ly tel you they never were De-
mocrats at heart but were Just
changing, shifting because of the
temporary money in the propo-
Sltlon. There are a plenty of
real Good Democrats in the
world AMI there are Democrats
who want to see the right side
and the right thing done, the
right men in authority; but
they are handicapped by such a
large number Of selfish creatures
who do not care to look out for
a future, jealous and prejudic-
ed and revengeful. That is all.

is coming back home, this time

E WAS a small boy, living in the
country outside of London.
Like many another small boy,
he read and reread the adventures of
Robin Hood.
And every Sunday, when he went
walking with his parents, he played a
game. He was Robin Hood. His little
sister, Beatrice, played all the other
parts except the Governor and the
Sheriff. Those were wished on Father
and Mother.
As the elders walked along, Robin
Hood (that was the boy and His
Merry Men (that was Beatrice) hid

NAVAL ATTACHE
GOT WARNING
CONTINUED from Page II

Raeder summoned Commander A
E. Schrader, U. S. naval attache at
Berlin, to his office Wednesday and
told him that he believed the Iro-
quois would be sunk through
repetition of circumstances which
marked the loss of the British
steamship Athena" the White
| House said.
The Athena was sunk off the
Isles of Hebrides on the day that
England entered the war, with a loss
| of more than 100 passengers, in
Guiding % of the 311 Americans
abroad. The British charged that
the ship was torpedoed by a Ger
man submarine.
German authorities asserted that
the ship had been sunk by the Bri-
| fish on orders of Winston Churchill,
| first lord of the admiralty, to arouse
American sentiment against Ger
many,
1t was reported in authoritative
| circles that Raeder told Schrader
that he had received his information
about plans to sink the Iroquo!s
from sources in neutral Ireland.
Neither the White House nor mari
time commission announcements de-
tailed Raeders warning.
The Iroquois, small passenger
boat of 5000 tons, usually operates
in the New York-Florida trade. She
was chartered by the United States
Lines to help bring back Americans
| stranded in Europe by the war. She
sailed from ireland this week with
584 passengers, mostly Americans,
and crew of 212.
The government Wirelessed the
warning to Captain E. A. Chelton,
master of the Iroquois, and ordered
him to make careful search for
any possible explosives on board his
ship" This was taken as a precau-
tionary move lest explosives-per-
haps-bombs-had been planted
aboard her in Ireland. Under in
ternational law, legal authorities
said, a neutral ship carrying explo-
sives to war zone can, under Ger
tain circumstances, be considered
fair game for belligerent warships.
The. Iroquois, however, is coming
from a war zone, not going to one.
Early said the White House was
making Raeder's warning public be-
cause it was believed to be some
thing of which the public should
know. President Roosevelt and his
cabinet considered it carefully at the
cabinet meeting yesterday. There
was no desire to alarm anyone,
Early said. He did not think many
people believe this report could or
would be true.
Certainly don't believe any Bril-
fish or French or any other ship
would do what the dispatch says"
he said.
The White House said that the
ship left Cobb, Ireland, Monday.
The maritime commission said il
sailed Tuesday.

II must say that do not think

As the senate began its fourth day
of debate on President Roosevelt's
arms embargo repeal program, the
administration was heartened by an
announcement by Sen. w. Warren
Barbour, r., N. j., that he intended
to vote to revise the present law.
Barbour previously had been listed
as a doubtful" senator.
According to one administration
poll, Barbour's swing to the presi-
dents side would give that force 60
votes, as compared with 20 for the
opposition and 4 doubtful. Sen.
James F. Byrnes, D., S. c., the adj
ministration's behind the scenes
strategist, reiterated his claim of 81
pledged votes, including Barbour's
for embargo repeal. The administra-
ton lost one vote in the death Of

Rome, Oct. 6.-(UP)-Fascist Of
ficials today viewed Adolf Hitlers
speech as moderate but as failing
to offer any great hope for peace
Italy's determination to maintain q
neutral stand, it was understood
remains unchanged.
Fascists believed that it would be
difficult for the Allies to reject the
economic and various other dis
cussions whcih Hitler suggested, but
it was indicated that Premier Mus
solini did not plan to take any i'm
mediate initiative toward peace pro-
posals.
Omission of any specific reference
to the Balkans in the Hitler speech
was regarded here as showing that
the Fuehrer considers the Balkans
a matter for Italy and Russia to
deal with.
Fascists said the most delicate
point in Hitler's speech was regard
ing reconstruction of Polish state.
London, Oct. 6.-(UPJ-Adolf
Hitler's speech to the Reich
stag failed to offer any basis
for peace, high political sources
indicated today after brief study

Hitler's speech was carefully
studied by members of Prime
Minister Neville Chamberlain's
war cabinet and probably will
be debated in Parliament, as
Chamberlain promised.
But well Informed circles ex-
pressed confidence that the gov
eminent and parliament as well
would consider the proposals
completely unacceptable" since
they fail to meet any of the
