"You can see him, but he won't
know you," the nurse explained.
''And you can't stay for more than
a few seconds. Mr.. Stefanski needs
absolute quiet now. But you must
not worry"
The hands of the office clock
seemed to fly now that she knew
thesdoctors were to take some def
mite action on Joe's case. Before
that, time had dragged; now each
minute was precious and time flew.
She couldn't work. She couldn't
think. She finally told Miss Grant
her head ached and she wanted to
leave early.
At the hospital she stood quietly
in Joe's room, looking down at his
white face, the shock of blond hair
showing beneath the bandage; at
his hands, so big, so capable, an
now so helplessly limp on tn e
sheet.
She wanted to touch them.
Wanted to lean forward and kiss
his lips, but the nurse was beside
her, murmuring that a doctor was
coming in to change the dressing
and she must 60.
Sue Mary went across the street
to a little park and sat on a bench
until her trembling legs c o uld
carry her back to the apartment.
She picked up a paper someone
had discarded and stared at tee
headlines.
1t seemed that she had been re-
moved from the world itself these
last few days. None e: the crises
in Europe or here had existed for
her. And yet, she told herself, you,
yourself, are involved in a vital
problem.
"G-men investigate alleged SUBJ
versive group" she read. In an
eastern city an inquiry was being
made by Department of Justice
officials in an effort to stamp out
possible fifth columnists.
one looked up ana 1OunQ a SUD-
den strength yelling up within
her. Federal agents-until this
moment the words had been one
connected with the movies and
thrill stories. To be sure, it was
in the news, but it had never been
a reality to her.
The girls in the office kidded
about the strange men coming and
going, since the national defense
program had brought so much
activity to the law office. But
Omen still were cople in a little
boys world. Until this moment.
Now her thoughts began to
crystalize. Government men with
the power to act and the ability to
recognize truth. They would keep
a confidence. They would listen
and judge and not rush off hysteri-
cally on a witch hunt. She stood
up and walked back to the hospital
to find a phone book.

CHAPTER XIV
Sue Mary hung up the receiver
and leaned forward over her type
on the carriage. Word from the
hospital was not encouraging, but
at least Joe was alive.
"Mr. Stefanski regained con-
seriousness for a few moments" a
nurse told her sympathetically.
He asked for you, and then went
off again. The doctors think they
may operate: relieve the pressure.
If they do, it will probably be to-
night. You can call later, or if
anything comes up suddenly, we'll

LONDON, June II. President
Roosevelt's assurances of material
aid from the United States insured
an Allied victory in the war against
Germany, Clement R. Attlee told
the House of Commons in a war re-
port today.
From across the Atlantic has
come the answer of a great democ-
racy,' Mr.. Attlee said.
1T was as though day had fol-
lowed night when, only few hours
after the dictator of Italy had made
his dastardly announcement before
the serried ranks of the Blackshirts
the President of the United States
delivered to the youth of his coun-
try message worthy of a great
and free republic. sending the whole
Of Americas sympathies to those
nations who are giving their life
blood in combat against the forces
of hate"
Mr. Attlee said Mr.. Roosevelt had
"vitally inspired the free peoples of
Europe. His assurance that the
material resources of his great Ma
ton would be placed at the disposal
of the Allies makes it inevitable
that however hard the road the
cause of civilization will in the end
prevail"
The house resounded with cheers.

to destroy democracy, Mr.. Attlee
said. but democracy will answer

It's Anxious 10 Avoid War

TOXIC, June 1l.-Vice Foreign
Minister Masayuki Tani today ad-
vised the diplomatic representatives
of Italy, Germany, France. England
and the United States that Japan is
anxious to eliminate any incidents
between belligerents which might
extend the European war to the Far
East
Sources close to the government
asserted that Japan expects a radi-
cal change in the attitude of the
United States toward the European
war as a result of Italy's entry.
They said the Japanese position Of
mo involvement" was unchanged,
but that Japan is watching WASH
ington developments closely.
These sources predicted the Italian
action would increase the danger Of
a spread Of hostilities into the Pacific
and said they believed Japan would
encounter greater difficulty in pur-
chasing American materials as the
United States increases assistance
to the Allies.
The view generally held in Toxic
is that Sundays settlement of the
dispute with Russia over the Man
chukuo-O Outer Mongolia boundary
probably resulted from Moscow's
desire to arbitrate principal Far
Eastern questions in order to have
a free hand for possible action in
Europe.

EncircIinq Movement

BERLIN, June II tP,.-The Ger
man Army has reached the vicinity
of the Marine, informed sources said
today
The historic river is where the
French turned back the swiftly ad-
vancing German Army in Septem-
ber, 1914, as ii approached Paris.
The same informed source said
the Lower Seine had been crossed
by the Nazi forces at various places.
The Seine Valley is one of the
natural paths to Paris.
Although the daily official war
communlques have been very chary
about giving concrete information,
indications that the German ad-
vance on the French capital was
developing into great encircling
movement were becoming clear.
The reliable Dienst aus Deutsch-
land describing the Nazi advance as
Semicircular movement, said the
German right wing which moved
down the coast consists of strong
tans and motorized columns. which
already control the lower Seine.
Great Arc North of Paris.
From this position in the west,
the paper said, Germany's army is
spread in great arc north of Paris.
Troops have crossed the Disc River
northeast of the capital. the paper
said and are operating in the Marine
region.
Farther east in the Champagne
area, Dienst aus Deutschland said,
German operations were progress
ing on schedule and continually
bending back the north wing of the
Maginot Line"
In this way. it continued, the
danger of French troops of the
Maginot Line pressing the Germans
from the rear was eliminated.
Armies Declared Destroyed.
Two entire French armies already
have been destroyed in the new Nazi
offensive. informed sources declared
as the Germans raced southwark
to slice France in half and join
Italian forces.
Nazi sources estimated that the
armies contained between four and
five million men.
CThis estimate, however, seemed
extremely high, since the whole
modified strength of the French
nation was believed to be not
much more than 5,0000 900 men
and France was understood to
have. only about 1,5O0, 900 men in
the great battle of France.)
A new sack" is being thrown
around Dieppe by German thrust
southwark along the English Chan
mel, informed sources said, and
Allied troops trapped in it will be
treated as were the encircled armies
in Flanders.
A night fight between British de-
stroyers and German speedboats at
tacking on Britain's east coast was
reported by DNB. The German
boats returned safely. DNB said
