Idols Carried in Parade
To End China Drought

Idols were carried in big process
sions to appease the gods and end
the recent drought In Kiangsu Prov
ince, 1t is reported at Marking.
Wheat shrivelled and some Of 1t
dried up instead Of ripening. The
professions marched along country
roads and city streets to temples
with idols, banners, incense and
music. Financial agents stopped at
doors along the way, demanding
money to pay for incense.
Christians refused to give money
for this purpose and were cursed
by the agents. After one long pro-
cession rain began falling and this
with later showers provided SUI
ficient moisture for the crops. The
water supply, however, remained
low.

Uniformed Germans
Guard Rail Junction
Inside Hungary
But Budapest Denies
Reich Troops Have
Crossed Border

By the Associated Press.
SZOLLOK, Hungary, Sept. 4.-Uni-
formed German troops took up quar-.
tiers today In the Szollok railway
station, so miles southeast of
Budapest, at junction of the main
railway line between Germany and
Rumania.
On Budapest, the Foreign
Office spokesman fatty denied
there were any German troops
on Hungarian soil. He said he
would investigate to, determine
whether Hungarian troops could
have been mistaken for Ger

The Germans were reported to be
the advance guard of full-size
expeditionary force which will be
sent into Rumania in fulfillment Of
the German-Italian promise Of mil
itary protection for Runanias new,
shrunken borders against any
power"
Bucharest dispatches have said
German armored divisions would
hold the new Rumanian- Russian
frontier.
The Germans here, 20 soldiers
just arrived from the Reich, made
themselves comfortable in this sta
ton in the heart Of Hungary.
Wearing field gray uniforms with
the black initials Of IS (Schutz-
staffel, Hitler Blackshirt Elite
Guard and the winged wheel in
sigma Of the transport service, the
German newcomers fraternized with
a throng Of Hungarian officers and
privates in a railway yard.
No one apparently questioned the
presence of German Army detach-
ments so far from the frontier Of
the Reich.
Two automobile loads Of German
officers previously passed through
Szollok in the. direction of North
Pennsylvania.

At the same time Gayda said the

This was much the same line of
argument followed by other Fascist
commentators.
There was no official reaction, but
authoritative sources said any ar

terials to Britain could not fail to
attract the interest and considera-

Auguste Nogues, resident-gene Of
French Morocco, frightened control
Of that North African protectorate

face Of dissatisfaction In other parts
Of the French empire which the
Petain government charged was
British inspired.
At the same time the Colonial
Ministry named M. Chazelas, here
tofore inspector general OF admin
istrative affairs for French West
Africa, to replace Gen. Eboue as
governor Of rebellious Chad terri
tory In French Equatorial Africa.
The Petain government already
had changed governors in the Cam

New Caledonia, in the Southern Pa

and in French Indo-China-

Ofncials refused to confirm foreign
reports Of revolt In the French West
Indies, Madagascar and the Pacific
island Of Tahiti, or otherwise tndi-
cate how serious the situation may
be. A fat denial was issued Of re-
ports of disturbances in Martinique,
in the West Indies.
(Travelers reaching Puerto
Rico from San Juan recently said
residents OF the island are de-
manding q plebiscite on whether
they will support the Petain gov
eminent or the free France"
group headed by Gen. Charles de
Gaulle in London.)
The reorganization in Morocco
involved reduction Of territorial re-
gions from IA to 7. The oficial
reason given for the change was
that it would permit maximum ex-
ploitation Of resources for export to
the motherland.

Britain 5 Vow 10 Keep
Fleet From Foe HELPS
U. 5. in Pacific Crisis
American Armada Will Be
Free to HondIe Jopon's
New Expansion Moves

~ Wv t9SSs
Britain's pledge never to. sur
render or scuttle Its feet reinforced
today the United States Govern
ment's intentions to keep It's own
fighting armada in the Pacific rs q
possible restraint on any Japanese
expansionist tendencies.
This was described reliably as one
Of the motivating factors in the ex-
change between Secretary Of State
Hull and Lord Lothian. British Am
bassador, on the possible fate OF the
British fleet II 1t were driven from
home waters.
Coupled with this was the Govern
ment's desire for assurance that the
so average destroyers traded to Great
Britain for naval Ind air base sites
in the Atlantic never would be used
against this country.
U. 8. HsCd Strengthened.
The British promise that the fleet
would he sent overseas to defend
other parts Of the empire was said
In administration quarters to have
lessened the danger that the United
States Fleet would have to be rushed
from the Pacific to the Atlantic in
event Of a British defeat.
Thus, these sources asserted, the
United States hand was strength
ened in the Pacific for dealing with
q possible crisis In the Far East,
where Japan has embarked upon q
Greater East Asia" policy.
The main body Of the United
States Fleet has been based in Ha-
waiian waters since early last spring
when Japanese acts led to increasing
fear in offcial quarters for the Sc
curity Of Netherlands, French and
British possessions in Asia.
Canada Might Get Fleet.
American withdrawal from the
Pacific and the weakening Of British
sea power there. some strategists say,
would leave few obstacles to Japa-
nese domination over the whole of
East Asia, including the rich colo
MES of the Netherlands East Indies
and French Indo-China.
The British assurance about the
fleet raised numerous questions In
speculation here on what might be-
come of it in event Of q German vic
tory over the British Isles.
The most general belief appeared
to be that it would be sent to Can
ada, with whom the United States is
now discussing joint defense moves
to guard the North American contf-
nent.
