Mihara, $500 feet high, on the

into it's crater. with its bubbling,
smoking lava masses, drew thou
sands of sightseers. For a few

KIon-Bund Alignment
impossible. Wizard Soys

ATLANTA. Aug. 10 lP,.-Align-
ment of the Ku Klux Klan with the
German-American Bund couldn't
be achieved any more than one
with Communists and Negroes, &"
James A. Colescott, the Klan's I'm
perial Wizard said today.
Commenting on Klan rally at a
Bund camp at Andover, N. j., yes
terday. Mr.. Colescott said the Klan
had denounced the Bund and op-
posed it for years and had urged
Congress to dissolve it. - Why,
it would be suicide for any one to
attempt to ally the Klan and the
Bund.' At least 95 per cent of the
Klan membership would resign if
such an attempt were made"
He said he considered selection of
the Bund camp for the Klan rally
"a grievous mistake" but that he
had approved it after the lease was
made because it contained a provis-
ion giving the Klan complete con-
troll over the program.

(Tert of note on page All
By tie Associated Press.

BY tie Associated Press.
Germany has been advised in a
formal note that the United States
expects her refugee-laden Army
transport American Legion to COM
plete its voyage home from Pet
samo, Finland, without "molesta-
ton" by Naz armed forces.
As the transport with 900 Ameri-
cans aboard neared waters which
iNazis said were fraught with "eX-
traordinary dangers" the State De-
partment last night disclosed that a
formal note had been sent to Ber-
lin. stating the United States 'ex-
poets that the vessel will not suffer
molestation by any action under
taken by the German armed forces"
The American note followed
closely the announcement of the
German government Saturday,
which disclaimed all responsibility
for the ships safety if it entered
mine-infested waters near Britain,
which are now specified as part of
GermanyS new total blockade
area"
Reich Advised in Advance.
The note reminded the German
government that it had been ad-
vised in advance of the course the
ship would follow, and that the
German government had stated
that the transport did not require
a safe conduct, since it was a
United States Army transport and
not a privately owned merchant
man.
The American Legions course, as
originally set, was to take her be-
tween the British island of North
Roma and Cape Wrath, off the
northern coast of Scotland.
The transport was believed near
ing this zone, but authorized sources
declined to reveal her present posi-
ton.
The State Department note.
published after the German govern
ments disclaimer of responsibility
for the vessel, said that the ques-
ton of the ships course was given
serious and protracted consider
alton by the United States Gov
eminent, and that it had been de-
termined that no other practical
course existed"
Danger of Mines"
The German Embassy here an
nounced yesterday that the Nazi
government had issued today
press communique which lays fur
ther stress upon the danger of
mines threatening the vessel on its
contemplated course"
The United States note expressed
the view that the German govern
ment received sufficient advance
notice = to take every precau-
ton against attack on the vessel
bv the German combat forces"
The German declaration that the
American Legion was risking "ex-
traordinary dangers recalled the
warning the Nazi government issued
last October when the liner Iroquois
was en- route to New York with 788
persons aboard.
On that occasion the United
States was informed by Grand
Admiral Raeder that he had been
Informed the Iroquois was to be

States. Thereafter the liners prog
