Balkans In Near Panic.
The little nations Of Southeastern
Europe were thrown into near panic
by news of the German occupation
OF Norway and Denmark, which was
interpreted in Balkan quarters to
mean the war will soon be extended
throughout the continent.
Official quarters in Turkey, which
Is allied with Britain and France,
frankly speculated whether the
allies, with the northern battle
fronts apparently cut of to them,
might be forced to make a counter
move against the Reich in South
eastern Europe.
All quarters in Hungary, Yugo-
slavia, Rumania, Bulgaria, Greece
and Turkey were unanimous in de-
claring the allies must carry the
war on all fronts to Germany and
must force italy to come out def
nitely for or against them.

~ the Associated Press.
PARIS, April 9.-Reports that the
allied and German war fleets were
in combat off the Norwegian coast
were received here today, while
urgent conferences continued in
London and Paris.
The reports followed closely an
announcement in the allied capitals
that measures had been taken to
rush full" aid to Norway.
Fragmentary reports drifting into
Paris on the progress of the German
invasion of Norway and Denmark
indicated the Norwegians still were
resisting. Details were not immedi-
ately available, however.
The reports of naval activity
gave the impression that series of
engagements were being fought.
The fighting was said to be going
on in heavy storm along the
western coast of Norway.
interpretations Delayed.
In view of the gravity of the sit
uation the Senate agreed to post
pone interpretations of the gov
ernment scheduled for today.
Premier Paul Reynaud held a Sc
fies Of conferences with his key
ministers.
After a am. meeting with De-
tense Ministers Daladier, Laurent
Eynac and Campinchi and army and
navy chiefs, who constitute the war
committee charged with making
purely military decisions, Mr.. Rey-
maud met with the full cabinet.
The cabinet session had been
called yesterday before the German
invasion, but the extraordinary
nature Of the meeting became evi-
dent when it was learned that the
military leaders Gamelin, Darlan
-and Vuillemin were attending.
Reynaud Sees Bachke.
Immediately after meeting with
his cabinet, in the presence of Presi-
dent Lebrun, M. Reynaud conferred
!. with Norwegian Minister H. H.
Bachke. The Bank of France tenn
porarily prohibited any Withdrawals
from Danish or Norwegian accounts
in it's keeping.
Later it became known that M.
Reynaud handed the Norwegian
Minister note pledging allied aid
against Germany-a communication
similar to an almost simultaneous
British Foreign ONCE announce
ment.
The British and French, said
sources close to the Fench Foreign
Of1ce plan an immediate confer
ence to consider the situation
created by the German action.
DEGREES Approved.
The session with President Lebrun
lasted little more than an hour. A
communique issued afterward made
no mention of the Scandinavian de-
velopments but announced that sew
eral DEGREES Tightening price control
and measures against "defeatists
and propaganda agents" were ap-
proved.
One decree specifies that any per-
son participating in ANY act tend
ing toward demoralization of the
army or the nation or tending to
undermine the national defense" is
guilty Of treason and liable to the
death penalty.
Another was for organizing the
control Of French exports to neutral
countries" No details were given.
The latest reports from the west
ern front mentioned only minor ac-
tivity. A German patrol attack on
an outpost west of the Vosges Noun
tains was repulsed, according to the
high command. East of the Moselle
considerable artillery fire was re-
ported.

Friday, Expect to Give
Stronq Opposition

Ypsilanti High Schoors football
team, after dropping its first three
games Of the season by lop-sided
scores. is scheduled TO oppose
Birmingham's eleven Friday after
noon, and there is a chance that
the local boys may give the visit
tors a little competition worthy
OF the name. In a scrimmage ses-
sion wednesday. the Braves look
ed impressive as they rolled up
three touchdowns In short order
against the reserve varsity.
Two long runs, one OF 10 wards
and the other OF about 40, were
made by left end L. d. Harmon
with the latter effort being the
result OF a pass from Joe Britton.
This combination OF Britton to
Harmon has been quite effective so
far this season but for some rea-
son the play has been used but
sparingly. However II looks like
the Braves best bet for some
sizeable gains against Birming-
ham Friday.

of scruffy hands and sore tongue is
a very good criterion. Digestive
and nervous symptoms of all kinds
may be basically pellagra.
For instance, a 55-year-old wom-
an had widely assorted muscular
pains and was highly nervous and
excitable. She thought her husband
was unfaithfu and threatened to
kill him. All of these unhappy
symptoms disappeared under the
administration of NICOTINE acid.
Likewise, a 35-year-old man had
symptoms which seemed to CORE

stomach. A 40-year-old woman felt
perfectly we'll except that she did
not like the color of her tongue; 1t
