CHAPTER SIXTEEN
Eric Is Tempted To Give Up

Eric Is Tempted To Give Up
 Fries white boat sped over. the great, gray sea for many hours. He and his winged horse stood silently on the deck and looked about them for some light. But they saw nothing. They saw not a single lighthouse. They saw not cottage on the shore, and they passed no ship.
 Finally, Eric saw a. great cone like mountain standing right up out of the sea. There wasn't | blade of grass on it., nor a tree. It was solid iron. The white boat stopped at it's base.
 This mountain was too steep for the winged horse to climb But Eric could see small entrance half way up the side. So he started up. He slipped many times. He tore the skin on his fingers. But he finally set one foot. and then the other, into the entrance of the Iron Mountain.
 He could see nothing but long, black hall ahead He couldn't hear single sound but the roar of the ocean below him. He stepped care- fully along, feeling his way.
 Enters Iron Room
 lao 1 re.fx N.tSl Once he found some very old coins lying on the floor of the corridor. He walked down, down into the heart of the mountain and there he found a little iron room. There was hole dug into the bottom of the floor, and next it dozed an old troll with long yellow teeth.
 Eric shook the troll and the troll looked up and grinned through his long yellow teeth.
 Too late" chuckled the troll There have been many before you But the giant moved his heart many years ago.
 Eric could see the hole was filled with cobwebs, so he started back up through the mountain, so discouraged that he thought Of going back to Santa. As the walked he heard dry rustling ahead of him. In the dim light he could see bat flying toward him. Just as the bat circled over his head Eric saw there were punches of holly leaves in the bats claws.
 "Why!" said Eric, The must have come from Santa Claus" Fries heart thumped with pleasure and new courage. He held out his hand and the bat settled down on it. Eric took the holly branches from .the bats siaws. Tied to each bunch were the finest big coconut cookies Around one was wrapped note from Santa. It said. Son, no man fails with honor until he has tried three times
 Back To the Giant Eric munched the cookies, put the note carefully in his pocket and felt new courage in his heart He said to himself, "Of course And the third time I will and must win. But now hurry. I must be back to Santa before Christ mas Eve"
 He mounted his winged horse and sped back to the giant with no heart. The giant chuckled but he also looked surprised to see Eric back.

President Roosevelt Gives Newsmen 0bjeetives
 10 Be Sought

HYDE PARK, N. r., July 5.-Five objectives which must be realized before permanent world peace is assured are listed by President Roosevelt.
 First among them, the President puts freedom above fear, which he said, means disarmament
 The discussion came up today at a conference with the newsmen and just at the time when Europe is fighting a bloody war and the Unit ed States is embarking on vast defense progr/l under the Presi- dents personal direction.
 This is how he listed the objec- tives which he said must be real ized to assure world peace:
 Freedom from fear, freedom of information, freedom of religion, freedom of expression and freedom from want.

obtain this by running for third term and diverting public atten- tion to the business of shattering precedent. (3) His greatest in- terest is in promulgating the for eign policies that his Administra- tion has set up and the only def- mite assurance of that would be the selection of a man in sym pathy with those policies and yet one in whom the politicians and the voters could have confidence. (4D Since the only such man on the horizon is Hull and. from practical political standpoint. Hull would have to have the strongest Democratic party running mate if he is to win, the only possible per- son is Farley. (5) Farley not only would have great strength at the polls but would have the confi- dence and support of all the old line politicians in the party.
 These men also argue: That there very likely is something to the rumor that President Roose- velt offered cabinet posts to Re- publicans with the assurance that he would not run for third term. That the President is too good a politician not to be aware

Vessels Bottled Up With UIfimdtum Facing Them
 Three Alternatives
tBY ASSOCIATED PREsS)

In prelude to yesterdays de- struction of the French fleet by ships of the British sea force, ships of the Royal Navy kept powerful French units bottled up today in Alexandria harbor, ready for the first gesture of defiance as the German mastered French Govern ment broke off diplomatic relations with its old ally, Great Britain.
 British circles in Alexandria de- clared: We don't know what will happen or when the French will make a decision. We only know that no French ship will ever leave Alexandria to surrender to the enemy"
 It was early clearly indicated that any French attempt to slip out Of the harbor would result in a repe- tition of Wednesday and Thursdays Anglo French naval action in the Western Mediterranean, and the greatest sea battle of the war.
 Wednesday night, leading up to the great clash, the French Naval base of Gran in the Mediterranean disclosed in French Admiralty communique that the French bat tleship Bretagne had been blown up and that the battleships Dunkerquc. Provence, and flotilla leader Moga- dor, had been set afire by long range British shelling
 6-H0ur Ultimatum
 The French asserted six-hour ultimatum had been delivered to them by the British to either sur- render or scuttle their ships. but that time wasn't even given for the French fleet to weigh anchors before fire was begun.
 Apparently many French ships had no steam up when the ulti- matum was received
 On receipt of the ultimatum, Vice Admiral Gensoul replied: There can be no question of the French fleet joining the British fleet or being scuttled. We must meet force with force"
 The French communique further said that while the British acted decisively to prevent the French fleet from aiding Hitler's project ed invasion of the British Isles. German and Italian warplanes sniped at two British naval bases.
 Italian planes on Wednesday twice showered bombs on Alexan- dria, England's great base in the Mediterranean, stacking both French and British warships at anchor in the harbor, killing fif- teen and wounding seven.

LONDON, July 5.-Waves of German planes yesterday raided the British Isles in daylight for the fourth successive day
 They dropped incendiary and ex- plosive bombs and fired their ma chine guns in power dives.
 One German plane flying over a northeast coast town went into a power, drive and fired explosive bullets before dropping bombs
 Other planes bombed villages and hamblets in the southeastern part of England in what appeared to be a plan to creat terror.
