Paris stormed Louis XVI's political
prison, the Bastile, and the revolu-
ton was on.
U. s. Gave Spark
A few years before Jean Jacques
Rousseau had proclaimed that man
Is born free" and in Its the sign
ers Of the American Declaration Of
Independence had declared that
"all men are created equal"
That was the spiritual spark OF
the French Revolution and a few
months after the Bastile fell, a ma
tional assembly In Paris issued
declaration of the rights Of man
and Of the citizen" Those rights
natural and inalienable, were the
rights OF liberty, equality and suf-
frage, the right to own property and
TO control legislation and taxation,
the right to free utterance and as
sembly, the right to trial BY jury.
The first republic, after nearly
three years Of strife and bloodshed,
was founded by a national conven-
ton September 20, 1892. and pro-
claimed two days later. On the fol-
lowing November 10, the French peo-
pie declared their brotherhood with
all peoples who desired freedom
Louis XVI was beheaded January 81,
1893. The reign of terror followed
and even the leaders of the revolution
went to the guillotine.
Napoleon came to power under the
directory and finally assumed all the
prerogatives Of government. On
May 10, 1904 he made France an
empire with himself as emperor.
But Moscow, Elba, Waterloo and
st. Helena finished him, and in
July, 1916, France became mon
archy again with Louis XVIII as
king. He was succeeded in Sep
TENDER, 1924, by Charles x who abb
dicated August 2, 1880, and was
succeeded by Louis Philippe.
On Feb. "a, 1845, Louis Philippe
was forced to abdicate and the Sec
ond republic was proclaimed two
days later.
Louis Napoleon was elected its
president, and, like the first, it was
dedicated to the dignity of man.
This Napoleon was like the first.
He was ambitious. On Dec. 2, 1852,
he had himself crowned emperor,
Napoleon III.
BY 1869, 1t was apparent that
popular discomfort voiced by the
republicans, was high. Emperor
Napoleon remarked: UNLESS there
is a war, my son will never be EN-
peror."
He didn't manage well BY dint of
committing every conceivable blum
der, the French finally found them
selves at war with Prussia in 1870
without single ally.
Sedan fell Sept. 2, 1870, and the
emperor was taken prisoner. The
third republic was proclaimed Sept.
4. The defenders of Paris were
forced to accept Bismarck's armis-
tice terms on Jan. %, 1871. With the
third French republic, Germany
finally made peace.

The little nations of Europe,

How this country has become
the worlds strong box, harboring
billions of dollars in foreign-owned
gold and bank balances, was
thrust into the news when Presi-
dent Roosevelt restricted withdraw
ais from Danish and Norwegian
accounts following the invasion OF
those countries.
Apparently sensing coming events
the Scandinavian nations hastily
had been shipping gold and liquid
assets to the United States. The

the shadow of NaZi expansion,
likewise have put beyond Germany's
immediate reach a substantial part
if not the bulk, of their gold.
More than $500, 900, 900 of the

by casting her lot militarily -th
Germany.
French observers who contend
that Premier Mussolini is on the
verge of making vital decisions re-
peatedly have called attention to
the Allied army in the Near East
under General Maxine WeyganG
and Allied naval superiority.
French interest in the Near East
was emphasized late today when
Reynaud conferred with the min
listers of Greece and Bulgaria, He
also saw the Swiss minister.
The first disclosure in France
that troops have landed iii Nor
way and are taking part in the
operations came in the regular
morning communique of the high
command.
Military authorities asserted the
first landing of the French in the
embattled northern kingdom was
followed by successive landings at
various other points. The number
of troops involved was not given.
More Air Activity
Good weather brought a squirt in
aerial activity over the western
front while the evening communi-
que of the high command declared
rival artillery fire in the center OF
the front from the Moselle to the
Rhine was more intense and
heavier today than it had been on
previous days"
In the aerial fighting, the French
reported two German planes were
doWned by French fighters while
British fliers accounted for fou1
and possibly five. French anti-air-
craft batteries earlier were reported
to have shot down a two-motored
German plane in central France.
German filters were seen recon
noitering over the east and north
Paris e but no alarms were
sounded.

action in limiting withdrawal OF
Danish and Norwegian funds was
aimed to prevent Germany from
selling gold and short term bal
ances held here for those countries.
Germany, with a war machine
partly dependent on Oil and other
vital imports, has been short OF
gold and foreign exchange and the
Allied blockade has sought to pinch
off German exports to strangle her
buying power abroad.
Some bankers said the transfer
Of monetary treasures by the small
err neutrals probably was motivated
more by a desire to seek the Sc
curity of the United States than tc
build up exchange reserves fol-
armament and other purchases in
the United States.
The gold flight to New York hit
it's fastest pace after the Munich
settlement in 1888. Since then
about 5000, 900, 900 has been added
to the metal stores in the United
States, concentrating the greater
part of the worlds recorded none

than $1,000, 900, 900, including con-
siderable amounts of Scandinavian
metal.
Besides the ownership question
raised by the German invasion of
Scandinavia, the piling up of so
much of Europe's liquid wealth in
this country has given bankers
other worries.
Commercial banks have accum-
ulated record-breaking idle funds
without immediate prospect of
finding outlet in business loans or

BROWNS TR0UNCE

Delayed Home Opener De
lights Ats Fans Who See
Real Ball Game

ST. LOUIS, April 2O.-(P-It may
be true what they're saying about
the Browns-that the team is des-
tined to wind up the season in the
American league cellar-but not if
they play like they did today in
smashing the Chicago White sox,
II to 1.
Making their delayed opening ap-
~pearance at home before a paid at
tendance of ATS, the Browns click
ed off 10 hits, nine from the bats of
it's imported" outfield, Rip Rad
cliff, formerly with the White SoX,
and Walter Judnich and Joe Gala
cher, eX-Yankee farmers.
Radcliff, getting revenge on his
old teammates, drove in five of the
Browns runs with a homer and two
singles. Judnich and Gallagher each
got three hits, too, including a
double apiece.
AS further evidence that other
teams have finally given the Browns
some worthwhile help, Eden Auker,
the submarine pitcher obtained
from Boston, made his debut in a
st. Louis uniform and pitched a
tight game, yielding eight hits and
walking none. Joe Kuhels home run
in the fourth inning robbed him of a
shutout.
Johnny Rigney, one of Chicago's
leading hurlers last year with Is vic
tories and eight defeats, started for
the White Sox and allowed nine hits
and six runs in six innings. Jack
Knott finished and his two errors
were factors in the Browns addi-
tional scoring.
