Warning, Advice
 Premier Jan Gigurtu issued the following communique Of warning and advice" last night, reportedly after receiving advices from Ger many and Italy:
 q have received many telegran1s from those who understand the sit- uation and also telegrams of pro- test from those who want to fight. I appreciate the manifestations of grief, but there are few politicians who want to speculate on the sltu- ation. The role of an intelligent person in Pennsylvania, especially one who plans to remain in the ceded territory, is to calm the peo- ple and encourage them to work. The axis powers have given us a guarantee that we can stay quiet within our new frontiers.
 We cannot risk the disappearance of our state for the sake of a Beau Geste. Through work and wis dom we can prove that a mistake was made in our disfavor. This l,generation must not disappear but must work for the country under the protection of the Axis guaran- tee."
