 Thus, the pendulum which has swung in France from republic to empire to republic for 15l years swings back again to the modern equivalent of the personal rule of Napoleon.
 The full outline of the new French order has not yet been made clear at Vichy. But lengthy and detailed German reports have made plain that it will be government on the Mussolini and France lines.
 Pierre Laval to Lead
 Guiding spirit is Pierre Laval, vice. premier under Petain, friend of Ger many and Italy and the active lead- CT in the government.
 The democratically- elected parlia- ment will have no voice in the new Laval constitution. That document will be submitted only to the new two-chamber government which will be appointed, not elected, and which will have advisory powers only.
 As the French moved through their formalties at Vichy, war con. tinued on many fronts.
 The German high command claimed heavy losses had been in- fiicted on British shipping and the ofiicial DNB news agency asserted that i2 British planes were shot down in a raid on Stavanger, Nor- way.
 Naxi Bombers Busy
 The German high command said German planes bombed Davenport, Ipswich, Canvey Isalnd, the Thames Estuary, Ti;bury, Harwich and Bill- ingham. One British cruiser, one destroyer and five mercnant ships in the channel were bombed and sev- eral merchant ships including an 11,000-ton tanker were sunk, 1t was said.
 Italy's high command claimed 50 British armored vehicles had been destroyed on the Cyrenaica, North Africa, front, and successful bomb- ing raids on other African objec- tives.
 Rumania introduced new restric- tive measures against Jews and sup- pressed another Bucharest newspa- per, Le Moment, the third to be suppressed in the last few days.

The Japanese were angry at the action of U. s. marines in ar resting 16 Japanese plainclothesmen in Shainghai's international settle ment.
 Anti-American posters went up throughout the Japanese section of that city and a spokesman for the Japanese embassy there, Ken Tsur- uni, formerly stationed at Washing ton and on the west coast of the United States, said an apology would be demanded from the marines and if it were not forthcoming, the whole course of Japanese-American relations might be affected.
 U. s. Fleet at Hawaii
 The United States fleet was still at Hawaii but its commander, Ad- miral J. R. Richardson, appeared unexpectedly in Washington yester- day to confer with President Roose- welt. The nature of the conference was secret but it was believed in Washington that MT. Roosevelt was planning new naval strategy in the Pacific.
 Richardson had flown from Ha- waii in a navy plane. He spent 90 minutes with MT. Roosevelt, soon af- ter the president had talked with It. Col. Richard K. Southeland, army chief of stafi in the Philippine Islands.
 United States tO Front /
 With the iull continuing on the war front of western Europe. except for bombing duels of British and German flyers. the United States also came in for increased atten- ton on that continent. German newspapers seized upon President Roosevelt's suggestion for Monroe Doctrines in Europe and Asia, as well as America. as an argument for Britain to give up the war. They said Britain was only fighting to keep her empire intact and that evidently Mir. Roosevelt "already has sacrificed the British empire in America and Asia"
