blared forth In loud tones the
learned wisdom of a statesman. It
shouted to the world that the United
States Of America must do every
thing 1t can to help the allies. Yes.
we must supply money! And so.
Senator Austin argued for repeal Of
that so-called johnson Act.
Now, 1t may be remembered that
Senator ''Hi'' johnson of California
fought and fought until he was able
to convince congress that none of
the foreign nations who had not paid
their debts should be allowed to bor-
row any more money in the United
States. The California senator is
one Of seven men now in the senate
who were there during the first
World war. and he Is still going
strong.
No Payment on War Debts
Has Been Made Recently
The law that he forced through
congress, almost single handed, was
a good law when it was passed. It
is better law today, considering
that those nations which we helped
by men and billions Of dollars are
involved again in a war to save
democracy. And, incidentally, they
have paid nothing on their debts in
the last 10 or II years, so that they
still owe around $13, 500, 600, 900.
Lights have been burning late In
the war and navy Offices. Mr..
Roosevelt worked one night until
two o'clock in the morning. That
was while he was preparing his de-
tense speech. Even the gambling
spirit is around. One can get bets
in the capital city that we will be
mixed up in Europe's war, and the
dates that are offered range any
where from few weeks to next
winter.

The piece de resistance of the
affair was a debate between Sen

Radcliffe got the micrOphone for

r Senator Radcliffe launched into
an attack on his opponent, raking
Mr.. Bruce over the Goals and up
one side and down the other. And
at its conclusion he received
nice hand from the audience. Mr..
Bruce complained that the Senator
was fence sitter and had done
nothing that Mr. Bruce knew of TO
make Maryland proud of him.
When Senator Radcliffe stepped
up to deliver his rebuttal, he was
without a manuscript. He started
off brashly enough. asserting

tonight in their effort to join forces
with the Italian Alpine armies.
The town of Bellegarde, near the
Tort, was captured by the Germans,
lost and then regained between
dawn and dusk. Bitter fighting
continued in this section without
respite.
The fort is 5 miles northeast of
the town, commanding the entrance

Jura and the Alps.
Fort Stormed in Morning.
Large German forces stormed the
fort this morning, but were thrown
back. Two tanks which reached
the top Of the hill found the road
way blasted away in front of the
fort, with a 900-foot drop into the
Rhone gorge before them.
The Germans retreated to Belle
earde under a pounding from the
Tort guns. A French counterattack
followed and drove the Germans
momentarily from Bellegarde.
Just before sundown the Germans
again took the town, but found that
French engineers had dynamited all
bridges.

-Four Italian Air Raids
Beaten Off by Guns Of

ALEXANDRIA, Egypt, Jure a.
-Four Italian air raids on this Allied
naval base were beaten OH today by
the anti-aircraft guns Of the British
and French fleets. Four of the at
tacking bombers were shot down.
Coastal batteries joined in a
heavy bombardment of the enemy
squadrons. Bombs fell in the harbor
and over the city's sea front, but no
warship was hit.
The raiders - apparently from
Italy's Dodecanese Islands across
the Mediterranean-came in waves,
which were driven back by the CO.
operative action Of both fleets.
Utalian planes also bombed
Jibuti, French Somaliland, sew
eral times today, but there were
no casualties and no known
damage. Malta was bombed
yesterday
The attack led to predictions
Egypt might quickly declare war on
Italy.
Two persons were killed and 23-
including two Italians-were in
jured in the raid, British naval
communiQue said.
These civilian casualties apparent
ly resulted from the fact that anti
aircraft fire and fighter planes
forced the raiders to veer eastward
along the water front.
Only last night French official
sources predicted that Frances big
Mediterranean fleet and Middle
East armies in Syria would fight on
beside the British, regardless of
the home governments decision as
to armistice. Today's action bore
this out.
