British Princesses Will Remain in Danger Zone

DRINCESS ELIZABETH, l4-
 year-old heiress presumptive to the British throne, and her sis ter, Princess Margaret Rose, 10, will not leave England, despite the threat of German invasion. Sug- gestions that the royal children be sent to safety in Canada or oth- CT dominions have been rejected by King George VI and Queen Elizabeth. The princesses are pie tured on the 1889 Canadian stamp above, commemorating the visit of king and queen to Canada and United States.
 Princess Elizabeth and Princess Margaret Rose have been evacuat- ed to a secret residence in the country. There they continue their studies and their work in the Girl Guides. Elizabeth is sec- ond in command of her Girl Guide unit.
 England's probable future queen is an expert horsewoman, plays golf, enjoys fishing with her father. She collects stamps and national dolls, takes piano lessons and studies cooking under the royal chef.

window wasn't open, and
 He stopped suddenly. From somewhere just outside the door that led into the library, they heard the sounds of shuffling feet. OLeary stole quietly behind the divan in which the two men had been sitting and whispered curt orders for the sergeant to stand in the recess next to the fireplace.
 The door opened, and a sharp beam of light from an electric torch cut cross the room. OLeary held his breath as the beam passed the sofa behind which he was huddled.
 It was impossible, in the dark ness, to tell who the man was. His light was turned toward the books in the built-in cases on the east wall, and he seemed to be studying the titles. Finally, he se- lected two large books and pulled them out of place. He reached his hand in the space where the books had been.
 Suddenly O'Leary realized what the man was doing. Behind thoso books, secreted by a panel, was Sayler's safe. In a few minutes the man pulled aside small, steel door and reached his hand into teh chamber
 OLeary lifted himself to his feet. "All right, buddy" he said Drop it." He spoke quietly, but in the stiffness of the night his voice boomed across the room.
 The figure at the bookcase wheeled around. He swung his beam swiftly over the room and caught OLeary square in the face In the next ? instant, there was darkness as the torch was switched off, and then . flash of flame and a crashing sound as he fired a shot at the detectives head.

by I want to see them"
 "There's something about that mug I don't like" Sergeant Car roll commented after Mardell had gone.
 OLeary nodded. He'll bear little checking"
 Carroll had slouched back in chair along the inner wall. He didn't bother to get up when Dale and Rhoda entered the room.
 OLeary swung around in the swivel chair. T hope you two don't mind being called in to- gether."
 We prefer it that way" Dale said.
 Sit down." oLeary invited. MT Appleby, I want to know where your stepfather's will might be found"
 T don't know" Dale replied. He never confided in me" '"You don't know who'll get his money? There must be quite a lot of it."
 No, I can't say"
 Do you expect any?"
 Dale exchanged a swift glance with Rhoda. I'll get my mothers money That's written into her will. He couldn't have changed that"
 will that be very much?'
 "Yes."
 When your mother died, she left all her money to Sayler?"
 Dale looked at the girl. Tell him, Dale" she urged.
 T may as we'll" the young man decided. Most of my mothers money was left to me, you see = but in a trust fund over which Sayler had almost unlimited power He didn't need to give the money to me, even when I reached q, if he didn't feel like it-and he didn't feel like it."
 Did you ever ask your step- father for the money, MT. Apple by?"
 "Yes - but he refused"
 "Why?"
 Dale flushed. T don't think that"
 I'll tell you why" Rhoda ex- ploded Her delicate features were tense Her pretty fists were tightly clenched. Martin Sayler hated me. He told Dale he wouldn't re- lease the money until I was out of the picture"
 Sergeant Carroll leaned for ward. You didn't like him very Well?"
 Dale answered for her. Frank ly, we didn't"
 'Okay," said OLeary. Just one more thing do you know where Sayler kept his papers?"
 I'm sorry, l don't" Dale said,
 T just wondered. There isn't much in his desk"
 OLeary glanced at his wrist watch. 'Twelve-thirty. It's too late to do very much more to- night. MT. Appleby, I'm going to ask favor of you. I'd like every one to stay here tonight Can you arrange it?"
 Dale looked startled. Of course. but"
 Thank you," said O'Leary.
 Forty-five minutes later, the two officers were still sitting in the study. All the lights had been turn ed out.
 Chief, this case has me stumped," said Carroll.
 "Yeah," OLeary responded, non- committally.
 T don't get it at all. A murder couldn't have been committed = and yet it was. All the suspects were in the other room, and the

CHAPTER VI

It seemed hours after the shot before anyone moved. Dale Appleby, his face paled, was the first to leap to his feet.
 My God! Another one," he started toward the study, and Mardell and Barbour rose to fol- low him. O'Leary barred the way
 Never mind, gentlemen he said. Its all right"
 Barbour, the red tint missing from his feshy cheeks, seemed genuinely frightened. But that shot"
 T ordered that shot fred" OLeary said calmly. Tt was fired from the den out of the window and into the air-harmlessly. No one was hurt this time"
 But why?" Dale demanded.
 Just to satisfy my curiosity" /" said the lieutenant. "Sayler was shot to death We know that. But no one heard the shot. Yet everyone heard this one. So Say Ter couldn't have been shot with an ordinary gun. Whoever did the job used a silencer. With Si- lencer, a gun could be shot off in the den and you wouldn't be able to hear anything. It's too far away from this room, and Sayler had the door closed"
 Slowly the men ambled back to their chairs. They were still a little angry.
 OLeary turncd to Mardell. May I see you in the study for a few minutes?"
 Mardell bowed slightly and fol- lowed the officer out of the room. In the den, Carroll was sitting at the desk, going through some of the drawers. When O'Leary and Mardell entered, he rose. Hear it, Chief?"
 OLeary's lips twisted upwards. "Waat do you think?"
 The lieutenant motioned Mardell to g chair. What were you doing here tonight, Mardell?" he asked bluntly.
 Suave and self-composed, Wins low Mardell leaned back in his chair and propped his head grace fully against the cushioned sup port. "Just a social visit, Lieu tenant. Sayler asked me for din- ner along with the others"
 From his pocket, OLeary ex- tracted a sheaf of papers, clipped together. You wouldn't know anything about these?"
 Mardell titled his head slightly and glanced at the papers. Then he smiled. 50 you found them"
 Yeah" said OLeary, lin the top drawer of Sayler's desk. There wasn't much in that drawer - just a few pieces of unfinished busi- ness things Sayler wanted to take care of tonight
 Marden lifted his eyebrows and began fumbling for a cigaret.
 D'Leary went on. "A lot of dough is represented here $35,- 900. Not exactly chicken feed. These I. o. Us are Yours, aren't they? You signed them"
 Mardell looked bored. Sure they Te mlIle. DO WlldI!
 How come?"
 "A little business-between Say Ter and me-"
 Gambling debts, aren't they?"
 Mardel said evenly, Maybe
 Were you going to pay them?"
 The mans eyes flashed. Ger tainly Do you think-?"
 'Tonight?"
 For the first time, Mardell seemed i'll at ease. Well, no,. didn't have that much cash on me-" He leaned forward angrily But Sayler knew that. He knew I was going to settle up. He didn need the money right away"
 OLeary folded his arms and breathed deeply. All right, Mar dell. That's all for the time being. Tell Miss Waters and MT. Apple

Federated Pressl

Newspaper publishers here rescued
Father Coughlin from very embar
lrassing jam when Omen arrested II
leaders of the fascist Christian Front
for plotting to overthrown the govern
ment. Thanks to Director j. Edgar
Hoover of the Federal Bureau of In
vestigation, the publishers found 1t
easy to whitewash Coughlin's connec-
ton with the Christian Front.
Hoover set the pace by saying that
he understood Coughlin had no con-
nection with the organization. The
biggest Oman should have known bet
ter. The American Council against
Nazi Propaganda, which has no staff
of Omen to gather evidence, proved
that Hoover was wrong by quoting
from Coughlin's paper, Social Justice.
On July "a, 1899, Social Justice re-
ported that Coughlin had telephoned
an address to two mass meetings Of
Christian Frontiers in Philadelphia
and praised the heroism and zeal of
the Christian Front in those areas
where its work has already borne
| fruit" The same article reported that
Mr. John Cassidy of New York, head
of the organization, addressed one
meeting. Cassidy was the leader of
the plotters seized by federal agents.
On July 81, 1889, Social Justice pre-
dicted 100000 membership for Cas-
sidy's Christian Front before the fall
of 1910. The organization was hailed
by Coughlin's magazine as "a protec-
tor of Christianity and Americanism."
The American Council against Nazi
Propaganda also reports that in his
telephoned address to the Philadelphia
meetings on July IA Coughlin de-
clared: God bless Mr.. Cassidy and
the Christian Front" But when Cas-
sidy landed in jail, the radio priest
quickly explained that he had round
ly disavowed" the organization.
This explanation apparently salts
fled the New York publishers, de-
spite the circulation of photostats of
the Social Justice articles by the
American Council. Most of the pa
pers carefully buried any reference to
Coughlin.
The Herald Tribune did use Cough
Inns name in the second paragraph of
its story, but only to quote the Hoover
whitewash. The World Telegram
(Schripps-Howard) named Coughlin In
the seventh paragraph, also for white
wash. The Post withheld Coughlin's
name until the 26th paragraph, the
Sun until the 41st paragraph, the
Times until the 46th paragraph and
the Journal-American (HearsD until
the 55th,

Dresser Advises

Americans First

uganda sucker" Theodore Dresser has
tartly declined Herbert Hooyers re-
quest to write a 300-word article on
the Finnish situation for distribution
to 1000 newspapers cooperating with
the Finnish Relief Fund Inc.
IF our papers do not lie, and of
course they never lie, it is the Rus
slams who seem to need help against
the Finns," the novelist wrote to the
funds publicity division. He sug-
gested the slogan, American relief for
Americans first" and pointed out that
a relief campaign on this side of the
Atlantic would laid some 100000
or 100000 miserable Americans as
opposed to possible 100000 Firms,
if so many"
AS bad as anything that | can re-
call is the fact that in 1882 when the
American veterans of the World war
invaded Washington to demand finan-
cial relief for themselves, their wives
and children chat was the worst year
of the depression), it was Mr.. Hoover
who turned out the army with tanks
and machine guns to dislodge theml"
Dresser observed.
And since, l have not heard him
nor any of his political or economic
associates pleading for financial equity
for the millions of jobless and starry
ing Americans in our north, south,
east, or west. On the contrary the
cry now is for % economic if not
military relief for the poor Firms, (2)
economic and financial relief for our
and industrialists."

sponsible members in an otherwise
respectable organization. Not one of
the six standard size papers used the
name Christian Front in large head
line type on page one.
Although practically every paper
carried Coughlin's statement that he
had refused to accept $1,000, check
from the Christian Front following
October rs of last year." apparently
none published the American Coun-
ellis comment. The council pointed
out that Social Justice contains no
record of a $1,000 check being re-
turned to anyone, but that the issue
of November 13 contained an article
headed, "Fr. Coughlin Returns Check"
The check, however, was for only
s12S and it had been sent by the
Christian Mobilizers, not by the Chris
tian Front.

First Food Order
By Allied Command
Placed In i. S.

WASHINGTON.-(FP)-The Allied
command has placed its first order
for foodstuffs in the United States,
the only food order placed in this
country since the war began. 1t is
for $1,000 worth of dried beans for
army consumption.
The small size of this order together
with the fact that it is the only food
order which has been placed to date
verifies the article published in the
December issue of Facts for Farmers.
This article analyzing war boom"
prophesies pointed out that despite
large war orders to industry the Allied
command had already adopted pol
icy of buying foodstuffs primarily
from their own colonies and secondar-
lily from countries having silver ex-
change.
Not only does this policy mean no
increase in food purchases in the u.
S. but it means a shift of food pur-
chases normally made here to other
countries. Thus the role of the u. s.
is that of providing an arsenal rather
than a wheat bin.
