Once upon a time there arose two great tribes Of
worsmppers, each separate islands within sight
but not wi thin reach Of each other.
Each of the tribes ceeded. after many years
and much bloodshed, in impressing upon the entire
population of their separ ate islands the dogma
ritual Of their rship. So in good time, the peo-
pies Of the is Land all became orthodox believers
in the dogma that God would permit only blue cloth
pies Of the other island al became orthodox believ
in the dogma that God would permit only yellow
clothing to be worn in His presence.
And the people Of each separate island became
uni ted in the knowledge that they ew the only true
way Of pleasing God, they each became more anxious
to the lost souls Of the people the other
island. AS the people the Blue Island praised
God that they knew enough to wear Blue, and the
people on the Yellow Island praised God that they
knew enough to yellow, thS each looked across
ed to cross over and convert the other. The Blue,
Yellow clothes, the case might be, which they
could easily the way, defiled their eyes.
The missionary spirit rose strong vi thin them.
So in time their inventors did ceed in build
ing boats that would wi stand the fury of that
raid. Many bloody battle fought, Sometimes on
island, sonnet times the other. Property was
destroyed wholesale. So were Lives, since not even
would inlce either 81 de TO adopt the otfer's
dogma its own, and both sides gave only death as
the altern alive.
Then, when both sides had lost most Of their
fighters and the wealth wi tn which to build ships
and weapons, they wi ithdrew to their islands and
built high walls that cut off from view sight of
those blue, or yellow, "God-fa. salen creatures"
tion permitted, praise to God that they not as
other men were, but knew Gods true will.
But, of course, this all happened long before the
coming Of Him who showed US that it made diff fer
in Gods sight what color Tore, just so
he Won it we'll.

Moscow, September 1. - (UP) -
In the second half of 1889 the Soviet
navy will be strengthened by the
addition Of high speed warships,
according to I. T. Tevosyan, peo-
Piles commissar Of the shipbuild-
ing industry.
Writing in Pravda, Tevosyan
said:
1.-THE battleships and cruisers now
under construction in our ship
yards will be the most powerful
warships, not only in the Soviet
Union, but in the world, as regards
the volume Of fire, speed and en-
durance in battle"
In connection with the reference
to speed, 1t was pointed nut that
the British minelayers, Hardy and
Duncan, and the French Verdun
and Bizon classes have speeds rang
ing from SO to 40 knots.
Scope Gradually Widened

with the construction of individ-

and medium sizes, and passed on

types and classes, including power

The Jewish War Veterans of the
United States, now holding their an
nual convention at Miami, Fla, yes
terday passed resolution citing the
"meritorious service" OF George A..
Holmes, of Southbury, who led the
flght against the establishment OF a
German american Bund camp in
Southhury. Mr.. Holmes is now asso-
ciated with firm publishing anti
Nazi and anti-bund literature.
A past commander Of the South
bury camp, Sons of Union Veterans,
Mr.. Holmes was one Of the first to
register opposition to the proposed
Bund camp. He organized large
group which fought successfully
against the Bunds plan. During the
controversy 1t was brought out that
Mr.. Holmes had once been an active
member Of the Ku Klux Khan.
A Waterbury delegation headed
by Past Commander Rudolph Hen

JAPAN'S BUYING
U. S. OIL EBBS
Purchases Dropped Off
900 Barrels Daily
During July

San Francisco, Sept. 1.-(UP)-
Japan's purchases of petroleum, one
of the vital essentials for the war
in China, have fallen off in an ex-
IRENE degree, according to estimates
OF the Oil Producers Agency.
For July the purchases dropped
9,700 barrels a day as against June.
Last year, during the same
months, exports to that country
were $4,000 barrels daily, indicating
loss in business this year to the
producers of 15,400 barrels daily, or
1875 per cent.
Three reasons are cited by the
agency as possible causes for this
decreasing purchase. One Is that
Japan no longer may be able to
obtain sufficient foreign exchange
10 make the purchases: the second
Is that possibly the administratio
is frowning upon such exports as
an implement of war, and the
third is that possibly Japan is
finding other markets.
Japanese purchases of California
oil, the agency states. for the first
seven months of this year have been
20.6 per cent or 10000 barrels daily
less than in the same period of 1888.
Including July, 1899, this years
movement Of oil to Japan has
been 1890 barrels daily as
against 98,l0o barrels of all oil
products last year.

Most of the newly built vessels

Tevosyan.
THE needs of defense OF our sea
borders against the menace Of
armed attacks made it imperative
to build, in the shortest period pos
sible, and efficient navy and in the
first place, a submarine fleet" ne
said.
"Our country has COPIED with his
task. The Soviet shipyards have
built powerful submarine units Of
various types. In few years we
learned to build modern submarines
and we have constructed a number
sufficient to protect our borders in
any naval war theater."

tinct from previous years, they
were launched also in winter time.
The new shipe are Of highly efficient
designs.
"In the beginning Of the third
Five-Year Plan period our country
occupied the sixth place in the
output Of the world shipbuilding
industry; in 1942-1943 we must
capture one OF the foremost places
in the world as regards the num-
Der and tonnage Of ships built per
year.

Warsaw, September 1. --e(UP) =
Il was s:45 a. m. and crowds were
hurrying to work through a fine
rain, when long blast from the air
raid sirens signaled the first warn
Ing.
I looked from the window Of my
hotel down onto Pilsudski Square
on which the foreign office and
general staff officers are located.
First TO catch my eye was a family
of peasants deserving their farm
cart to run into a building.
The sirens drowned out all other
noises. People were running along
The Waterbury Democrat. [volume] (Waterbury, Conn.) 1917-1946, 1939-09-01

the sidewalks, ducking into the near
est large buildings. Several bicycl-
lists hurried along near the curbing.
Some pedestrians adjusted gas
masks as they ran.
Soon the streets were almost de-
serted. A few official cars sped
across the square.
Screech Of Sirens
The screech of the sirens abated.
Rain continued to fall from low
hanging clouds. Visibility was slight.
Shops that had been opened early
were being shattered again. An
ambulance raced across the square.
Further up the streets stood
abandoned horse carts, buses and
trans. Policemen on the four corn
ers of the square hustled struggling
pedestrians into buildings.
A large pharmacy which had been
opened early, then closed, was re-
opened again to make medical sup
plies available.
Then, the drone of airplanes could
be heard family. They were above
the clouds.
The peasants who had deserted
the cart a few minutes earlier ran
out OF a building and turned the
horse backward in the shafts OF the
cart, so he would not run away. They
attached a feed bag over his nose
then ran back into the building.
paceanUars Omit RuS
A large red bus stopped on the
other side of the square. 1t was
filled with Office workers. The con-
ductor ordered them to leave the
bus and go into the basement OF
the general staff building.
A few people took refuge beside
the grave of the unknown soldier,
under colonnade.
Some were standing in doorways
to see what happened.
Three street~ears rumbled into
the square and stopped. A coach
man sprang from an old horse
drawn taxicab and fed for shelter
An old Jew with long beard cross
ed the square and disappeared into
a side street. He wore cap and car
ried a sack that might have con-
tanned potatoes.
Suddenly the city became quiet
Only two or three pedestrians were
in view. Then a truck load Of SOL
diers, apparently an anti-aircraft
squad, reached the square and took
up its station.

low flags and their crews wear yell
low armbands as distinguished from
fire fighting squads which wear yell

Drone Of Planes Louder
The drone Of air;'lanes was louder
Clouds began to break, but no air.
planes were in view. Then there
were heavy explosions.
The drone of airplanes faded. Fo,
a few minutes there was absolut.
quiet, but the AL clear" signal wa;
not given.
The planes apparently reached
their detectives at the edge Of thu
city.
Then the drone grew louder. i
was still impossible to see them, Of
ascertain whether they were tht
raiders returning or Polish Lighter
squadrons rising 10 fight them.
Our hotel windows we're oper
and we rushed out onto the gallery
to see II we could see the planes
The hotel manager told us to keer
the windows closed. He said the
penalty for opening them was two
years Imprisonment.
The drone OF the planes faded
again and people began venturirG
from doorways. Some scurried In the
direction OF their homes, others cas-.
ually resumed their ways to work
and shop.
