FOUND NOTE PREDICTS
DEFEAT OF HITLER

Fort Moultri, S. CA note in
a bottle washed up on the beach
at Sullivan's island Saturday af-
ternoon foretold the impending
doom of Hitler's legions.
Found by Sergeants Marion F.
Barnhill and Claude J. MCGOWAN,
Of the 252 coast artillery band,
former national guard unit from
Wilmington, the weather-beaten
note read: "The war is on but
Hitler will 60 down in defeat"
Written in ink in neat hand
writing, the note was unsigned
and undated. It was sealed in a
quart whiskey bottle (empty)
and slightly damp, although
there was no water in the bottle.
The metal top of the bottle was
badly rusted, showing that it had
been in the water for some time.
It is believed that the dampness
seeped in through the rust.
Although there was no label
on the bottle, it appeared to be
of an American make. The note
which is in Sergeant Barnhilps
possession will be framed and
hung in his tent.

Warns Dictators. Renews Our
Pledge to England. Defeat
Is Predicted in Talk.

Dayton, o. President Roose-
welt enunciated a policy of total
defense of the Americas against
a total attack from any segment
of the world last Saturday and
pledged the United States navy
and air force to the defense of all
the western hemisphere.
The Presidents address, one
of his most momentous declara-
tions on international conditions
and foreign policy was broadcast
to every nation of the hemis-
phere.
He said that this country, as in
1889, insists on the peaceful use
of the Atlantic and Pacific for
trade and commerce. He said the
American nations were united in
their determination to resist the
threats of dictators and rejected
the doctrine of appeasement.
He renewed assurances that
Britain would receive all aid
short OF war.
Is Confident
He voiced confidence in the
ability of the Americas, bound to-
gether in the spirit Of good neigh
bors, to resist any infiltration of
~slien political and economic
ideas which would destroy our
freedom and democracy.
When we speak of defending
this western hemisphere" Mr..
Roosevelt declared, eve are
speaking not only of the territory
OF North; Central and South
America, and the Immediately
adjacent islands. We include the
right to the peaceful use of the
Atlantic and Pacific oceans. That
has been our traditional policy.
awe Of the Americas still con-
slider that this defense of these
oceans of the western hemisphere
against acts of aggression is the
first factor in the defense and
protection of our own territorial
integrity: We reaffirm that po-
licy lest there be any doubt of
our intention to maintain it."
The address was made from a
dining car as his special train
stood in the Dayton station. It
combined a singing critique of
the methods of what he termed
totalitarian and dictator nations
with a firm declaration of the
United States to prepare for war
as the best insurance of contin-
ned peace.

Part of the DAYS strengthening

Of the British that they had engaged

layed all-out Hitler invasion also
revived hopes in bOardroom5 the

heartening was a jump Of l full

Fall Retail Trade
Expected 10 Prove
Best in Years
Holiday Volume Likely
To Shotter All
Previous Records
Special Dispatch 10 The Star.

special DlSpatcn 10 The Star.
BOSTON, Sept. l6.-Fall retail
trade generally should be the best
since 1928-29. and holiday business
this year promises to break all pre-
viouS records, says the United Busi-
ness Service in its latest weekly re-
port.
Sales are expanding under the
threetold stimulus Of rising purchas-
ing power, favorable seasonal fac
tors. and a growing "wiu-to-buy
arising from increased confidence in
the fall business outlook. With the
trend of consumer income expected
10 continue upward. retail sales over
the remainder Of 1910 should aver
age at least 5 per cent greater
than in the like 1899 period despite
the sharp uptrend a year ago.
Fall sales prospects are brightest
IN manufacturing communities.
especially where heavy industry.
shlpbuilding. aircraft, and arma-
ment plants are located. Trade in
such cities IS now running Is to 20
per cent or more ahead OF this time
last year. While gains will tend to
narrow, sales in industrial areas will
continue to show greater improve
ment than in agricultural districts.
Rural trade prospects. however. are
not bearlsh, ~ farm income this fall
Including Government payments
Is expected to about equal the same
period last year.
Average store inventories are abb
normally low in relation to sales,
oue 10 oVerCautlouS early buving Of
fail lines and the recent squirt in
sales. Buyers are now entering
wholesale markets with substantial
reorderS to build up inventories,
feeling that it will become increas-
ingly difficult to obtain prompt de-
hveries with many producers ALREADY
close TO capacity.
Consumers are showing a tendency
to "trade-up," which means that
average sales this fall will probably
be somewhat larger than a year ago.
ConScTptlOn will not be a serious
restricting factor during 1910.
