LAVAL. HITLER TALK

BERLIN, Oct. 22.- Up Adolf
Hitler received Vice Premier
Pierre Laval of France somewhere
in French territory today, it was
announced officially tonight, eli
making indications of a develop
ing attempt to mass the surviving
French warships with those of
Germany and Italy for a show
down with the British fleet.
No details of the Hitler-Laval con-
ference were disclosed, save that it
was attended also by German For
eign Minister Joachim Won Ribben-
trop, already reported assigned to
the job of seeking to get France to
enter the war against her old ally.
(The meeting presumably was held.
in German-occupied France. Laval
has made several trips to Paris as
the emissary of the Vichy govern
ment to the German military authori-
ties there.
(The German wireless, in a report
broadcast under date Of Istanbul,
also asserted that French authorities
in Syria had declared the French
army there to be "completely in a
position to protect SYRIA" possible
axis-British battlefront in the Near
East).
observers in the neutral Swiss
listening post Of Bern said that Hit
ler's audience with Laval was &C.
cepted in Vichy as meaning a final
settlement with Germany may be i'm
minent, but not at the price of an
active French participation in the
war against Britain).
Before the disclosure of Hitler's
mysterious talk with Laval had been
made officially, there had been
rumors of negotiations with the
French government Of Marshal Pc
tain to bring France into the war
on the side of the axis.
They had been supported by the
absence from Berlin Of Won Ribben-
trop himself and by yesterdays
radio appeal of British Prime Minis.
ter Churchill that the French people
do nothing to hinder Britain's prose-
cution of the war even though they
could do nothing to help.
(ChurchilTs speech was unspar-
ingly denounced today by the Ger
mar propaganda Lord Haw Haw'
in a broadcast picked up in the
United States by CHS.
(Haw Haw called it "a miserable
little effort; said Churchill's was
"a mean little character; declared
it was fresh proof of abject weak
ness on the part Of Brittany
Swiss reports said, moreover, that
despite the opposition of French
Chief of State Petain-the axis pow
ers Ire trying to persuade France
to declare war on the British and
r offering "easy" peace terms as
bait.
After the recent Hitler-Mussolini
Bremen Pass conference, authorized
sources here and in Rome gave out
assurances that a decision had been
made to hit England "in her most
vital spot" This indicated the axis
would try an invasion of Britain, at
long last, or seek British capitulation
in the Mediterranean either by driv.
ing off OF destroying the British
fleet in that vital empire pathway.
Since observers long have specu-
lated on axis reasons for waiting 80
long for a landing operation, pros.
poets for a turn into a better winter
operations sector appear greater.
(The British say the Germans did
start an invasion embarkation on
Sept. 16, but that the troops were
bombed out of their ships before they
could start).

The railroads will run rs special

large part of the children taken from
British bombed Berlin will be sent

In an early report on today's

Major Werner Moelders, Nazi ace,
with bagging three British pursuit
planes in a battle between six Ger
man and five British fighters. This
raised his total to 81. (Of these, IA

Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS.

ny AHOnNAON W. DUhuLSSs
"It's duty duty. duty! Tell me now,
pray you, please,
Just why 1t is so seldom that 1t can
be done with ease,
But almost always seems instead
the hardest thing to do?
I always find it just that way, and
so, I guess, do you"
So said Peter Rabbit as he sat
in the old briar patch and thought
of the duty he had to perform
Peter knew that it was going to be
the hardest thing that he had ever
done in his life. He didn't want to
do it. He wouldn't have promised
to do it if there had been any way
out of it. If it. had been just for
himself alone, Peter wouldn't have
thought of doing it. But it wasn't
just for himself, it was for ali the
little meadow and forest people.
So Peter sat in the old briar patch
and said over and over to himself:
II must! I must! / must"
What was it all about? Why. you
see, there had been a meeting of all
the little meadow and forest people
excepting old Granny Fox and Rcd
dy Fox to plan some way to stop
Farmer Browns Boy from hunting
with his dreadful gun on the Green
Meadows and in the Green Forest,
every day, and because 1t was all the
fault of Reddy Fox, who had stolen
the pet chicken of Farmer Browns
Boy. 1t was decided that the only
thing to do was to give up Reddy
Fox. Then Farmer Browns Boy
would stop hunting and the ether
little people would no longer be in
danger from that dreadful gun
And because there was no one
else whom Bowser the Hound would
chase so readily as Peter Rabbit,
it was decided that Peter must
show himself to Bowser and then
lead him up to the old house where
Reddy Fox was hiding. OF course,
when Bowser once found where
Reddy Fox was he would forget all
about Peter Rabbit and would make
such fuss that Farmer Browns
Boy would hurry up to see what the
matter was, and that would prob
ably be the end of Reddy Fox and
of the hunting on the Green Mead
ows and in the Green Forest.
Peter Rabbit was thinking of all this
as he sat in the old briar patch
waiting. He had no love for Reddy
Fox, but somehow he couldn't bear
to think of being the one to give
Reddy up. He looked across the
Green Meadows and saw Farmer
Browns Boy with Bowser the
Hound running ahead of him. Peter
sighed. I've got to do it." he said.
and slipped out of the old briar
patch to show himself to Bowser
the Hound.
Bowser saw Peter saucily sitting
up in front of him. "Bow-wow.'
roared Bowser and started after
Peter Rabbit.
Peter Rabbit bravely started out
to do his duty. He headed straight
for the places where or Mista Buzz
zard had told him that Reddy Fox
was hiding The nearer he got the
worse he felt. There's plenty
of time" thought Peter. So he
darted of to one side and led Bow
ser into the Green Forest. But the
longer he ran the harder it grew
to make up his mind to give up
Reddy Fox.

In 1924 Col. Avila Camacho re-
ceived what is still the army's out
standing citation for bravery.
Commanding q small force, he
held the city of Morela. capital OF
Michoacan state. for three days
against large besieging army under
the banner Of former President
Adolfo de Ia Huerta, who was at
tempting to overthrow President
Alvaro Obregon. For this feat Avils
Camacho, then 27 years old, wa,
cited throughout the nation three
consecutive days in army orders fol-
"unequaled bravery"
He continued his career as q
soldier, during which he rose tt
the highest rank of divisionary gen.
eral, until 1887, when Cardenas, al
President, appointed him Minister
Of War. One of his first acts was
to change the departments title tc
Ministry Of National Defense.
He faced one job of defending
the government in this capacity. He
personally directed the suppression

Much Fighting.
Gen. Avila Camacho's arrival at
the presidency, like that Of most
Mexican presidents, climaxes a jour-
ney marked by much fighting and
by steady loyalty to the govern
ments that so frequently called on
him to crush rebellions.
He was born April "a, 1897, on a
ranch outside the tiny village of
Tezuitlan, Puebla state. His father
was substantial farmer and his
mother an educated woman who
devoted most Of her energies to
fighting for education for girls,
something almost neglected in
Mexico then. She probably gave
him his interest In educational
matters.
He was only II when he had his
first taste of serious political action
in 1914. He joined one of the armies
of the revolution that took the field
when Gen. Victoriano Huerta as
sassinated President Francisco Ma
dero and seized the presidency. He
fought on the side of the forces
supporting the successful but bloody
revolution of Venustiano Carranza,
who overthrew Huerta and gave
Mexico her present constitution.
RV 1920 AviIa Camacho had risen
to lieutenant colonel. AT this
point he was transferred to the
command of Col. Lazaro Cardenas,
then engaged in putting down the
bloody uprisings of Gen. Peleaz in
the oil region around Veracruz and
Tampico.
