sertion that the American Newspaper

roneous.
Invitations to the rally, distributed
to unions over the signature of Reid

International Union of Mine, Mill

A. N. G. had named no official dele

denied that the guild had taken any
action on the peace meeting.
Miss Marian Briggs, executive sec

Auto Clubs List Safety Rules
For Traffic Over Holiday

The keystone Automobile Club
pointed out that speed is the pri-
mary cause of the many serious
traffic accidents which annually &C.
cur in the heavy Labor Day week
end travel. However. the club also
emphasized that it is perhaps equal.
ly dangerous for motorists to poke
along the highways at low speed be-
cause that in itself creates conges-
ton and causes drivers to take
chances in passing slow-moving We
hicles.
Orderly driving within the maxi
mum limits will keep the highways
clear of congestion. Main arteries
of travel will not be adequate for
the number of vehicles trying to
use them Monday night. 1t will
be the part Of wisdom for motorists
to use alternate routes over sec
ondary roads. Another point to re-
member is that the earlier the start
the more opportunity for arriving
safely and without undue strain.
Under all conditions motorists
should not lose sight of the fact
that they are part of a great traffic
movement and that individual de-
sires must be subordinated to the
common good. Hornblowing and
other displays of temper will not
help the situation.

Air Strength Has Averted
Invasion, Lothian Saws

Lord Lothian, British Ambassador
here, believes his country has won
the Battle of Britain" through
autumn and thus made ultimate
victory in her war with Germany
more certain.
He told reporters late yesterday
that only two weeks of weather ia
vorable for an attempted invasion
of the British Isles remain, predict
ing that the war will go into the
winter with England steadily gain
ing strength and striking harder
blows at Germany.
Defensive strength displayed by
Britain during the intense aerial
warfare of the last few weeks has
discouraged German hopes of
making a surprise troop landing on
English soil, the Ambassador said.
He added that reports from his gov
eminent showed that damage from
German air raids had not been
great.
