Polish Seamen Report
Dakar in Nazi Hands
BY the Associated Press.

| by the hSSUClutcu icoS.
BOSTON, Oct. 14.-Confirming
statements of supporters Of Gen
Charles de Gaulle, leader Of fret
Frenchmen fighting the Nazis, sew
eral Polish seamen reported today
that the French West African port
OF Dakar had been in German
hands since early in July.
The seamen, members of the crew
of the Polish steamer Rozewie
which fed from Dakar on perilous
night voyage through mine fields to
escape capture by the Nazis after
the fall of France, arrized here yes
terday from Santos, Brazil.
Chief Engineer Stefan Wawrzysko
said that when the Rozewie sped
out of Dakar July S the city was
controlled by officers Of German
mission
He said that when France COL
lapsed the RoZeWie raced for Dakar
from the English Channel, where
she had been transporting NUM-
tons under charter to the French
Behind submarine nets and mine
fields. she was informed at the West
African port with As other vessels.
The steamer avoided recapture,
Wawrzysko said, by intercepting a
radio message which told Germans
in control of the port that the craft
was headed north. Instead of TAX
ing that course, the Rozewie swung
west to Pernambuco. and in recent
weeks has been carrying cargoes be-
tween South American ports.
The vessel brought load of cot
ton to Boston.

as much Is you like about Balkan

as mucn 0S you ike dOOut Balkan
rumors.
1t is apparent that the italians
may feel compelled to invade north
ern Greece, but the occupation Of
Greece might conceivably prove to
be rather brief episode If 1t should
happen. It would be that unless
the Turks should also fight. In any
case, the Turks won't fight without
a previous understanding and prob
able assurance of support from
Soviet Russia. They can't fight
without feeling safe about Russia in
their rear. And that raises the
question whether the Soviet regime
has now either enough strength or
audacity to help the Turks defend
the Dardanelles and face up to the
combined axis war potentialities.
You find it difficult nowadays to
find experienced Balkan observers
who would wager that Moscow will
back the Turks with any degree of
force or enthusiasm in a pinch. 1t
looks more as if the Red Army had
been immobilized on Russian soil,
and the Kremlin has never doomed
up so eloquently as the thing it has
been for many year now, the
citadel of fear.
This is why the Turks may have
to sit and await their fate whatever
the axis powers may undertake in
regard to Greece. In that respect
Yugoslavia, eventually encircled, will
have no choice but to conform and
the Turks conceivably may have to
make the best of pretty hopeless
position.
Without undue speculation. these
are all possible consequences of the
establishment of a German legion in
Rumania together with its barring
of Soviet arms from the Balkans.
Speculation may persist about a
possible German invasion of the
Ukraine. If such a conquest re-
mains unchecked that is something
which remains written and unfor-
gotten in Hitler's book. With winter
around the corner. however, the odds
against and early and direct German
attack upon Russia seem persuasive
ly large.

1Olll LOU age
ments to send representatives tC
Vienna Immediately. BY Friday
Hungary had been given spear
head through Pennsylvania to the
strategic crest of the Carpathians-
and Germany had guaranteed all
the frontiers of Rumania from mo-
lestation by anybody. The Red
troops swiftly withdrew behind the
Prut once more.
Things looked that way at the
time. but now the fact is estab-
lished that Hitler was forced to act
-precipitantly and against his in
clination-in order to checkmate
Soviet designs on Rumania before
it was too late. Having no alterna-
tive, the Fuehrer acted with great
dispatch. The enforced abdication
of King Carol and the establishment
of docile and compatible regime in
Rumania we're Unanswered with
rare skill.
Coincidentally, the door was
opened for the entrance of Nazi
troops and the garrisoning of Ru-
mania both against possible British
bombing attacks upon the Vita
Ploesti oil field and against aggres-
sion by the Red Army.
Brilliantly Executed Coup.
1t is asserted by certain we'll
qualified persons that Berlin origi-
naly planned all through the sum-
mer to set up an autonomous Tran
sylvania and make it a German
protectorate like Slovakia. This
in fact, is what German minority
inhabitants in Pennsylvania were
confidently predicting in August.
One authority sums up the new
situation with the remark. Now II
is not Pennsylvania which is Ger
man protectorate but Rumania it.
self" This is the measure and sig
nificance of the brilliantly executed
Nazi coup which has brought Ger
man military might down to the
shores of the Black Sea without q
war between Hungary and Rumania
and without a peep out Of the
thwarted occupants of the Kremlin
So Russia's traditional back door
to the Balkans is now guarded by
veteran German divisions and the
hands of the axis dictators are vir-
tually free in regard to Southeast
ern Europe. OF course it is of first
importance for any possible inten-
silica ton of the war in the Eastern
Mediterranean, but it does not nee
essarily mean war in the Balkans
during the next few months. 1t may
even help to assure further series
of bloodless victories for the axis in
Southeastern Europe with undis-
turbed, continued deliveries of huge
masses of foodstuffs and minerals
to Germany from most of the Bal
kan lands
In this part of Europe rumors are
still as thick as fleas in Istanbul
One of the latest rumors woulc

Radiant Living
LIGHT SHALL
TRIUMPH
By Rev. @. M. Griffeth
Pastor Methodist Church
Cecilton, Md.

IT is most interesting to note
now far back in history we can
trace the spiritual ideas that mean
so much to us today.
Many of the spiritual concepts IN
the writings Of the Apostles can be
traced back beyond Judaism. The
use of light and darkness as fig
ures of good and of evil can be
traced back to Zoroaster, the
founder of the religion Of the
Medes and Persians.
The problem of evil weighed
heavily upon him. At the door OF
his mountain cave he wrestled with
the problem of evil. The struggle
was so intense that it seemed to
him that evil took on a personal
shape and became a personality.
He came to the conclusion that all
trouble and suffering is the work
of malignant spirit.
Zoroaster struck victorious
note of faith, however, when he
ueCldIed. lAt SAcdL dSihOh "
darkness will be conquered by the
God of light"
With the conviction Zoroaster
determined to go forth preaching
that the time would come when
the god of darkness would be COM
pletely vanished by the God of
Light and Truth.
The message of Zoroaster was
that Light shall conquer. So de-
clared the Christ when in a vision
He saw Satan falling from heaven.
Is the power Of darkness MAX
ing your life unhappy? Do not
become discouraged Seize the
faith of the ages! Make it your
personal faith. There is no dark
ness in your life that can stand in
the light of the Christ!
Rev. Griffith has helped others to live
a more radiant life and he would be glad
to help you. Write him concerning your
difficulty, addressing your letter to Cecil
