HE said he was disbursing money

No Part in Schemes
McGloon said yesterday he took
no part in schemes to initiate the
company's assets by the listing Of
nonresident crude drug stores and
said he had no recollection of an
Office manager pointing out to him
Inconsistencies" in inventories.
At the Afternoon session, McGloon
testified In considerable detail about
a $4,000 loan he had got from the
company. He said Coster later wrote
the loan of as bonus and extra
salary" That practice, he said, was
not unusual and he recalled in
stances Of other employees who had
received similar "loans."
The $4,000 loan was used to pay
George E. Dietrich, one of the Musi-
ca brothers who pleaded guilty in
the present trial, for a stock loss
suffered in their joint account
Dietrich, as a government witness
had testified that Coster's explana-
ton Of writing off the loan was that
'McGloon knows too much"
He Got His Loan
I'm 1892 Dietrich said he was 60
ing to see Mr.. Coster and ask him
to advance me some money so that
I could pay back which I owed him,
McGloon related. II was called into
Coster's office later and he asked
me how I had made out in the stock
market. I told him Of my losses
He said he was going to have the
company make me loan. I got the
loan which was entered as loans re.
ceivable.
I'm 1892 Mr.. Coster told me
wouldn't have to worry about it ant
that it would be written off as q
bonus and extra salary. It was or
Decemberd /, 1882, when 1t was
finally done.
II was alone with Mr.. Coster anc
we were going over the balance
sheets of November 80, 1882, wher
he noticed the item concerning my
loan. He said that the item should
have been written off. I said that

JUGOSLAVIA ACTS

Belgrade, Jugoslavia, April IT,
(UP)-Police authorities today Or
dered extensive measures through
out the country against foreigners
regarded as undesirable. The meas
ureS are to be completed within 10
days. In some quarters it was esti-
mated that as many as two-thirdS
Of the foreigners in the country
might be expelled.
In many towns in the Province
Of Vojvodina, which has a large
German minority, it was reported
that the police had ordered house
to house combing for foreigners.
Police orders are for a quick
countrywide revision of permits OF
sojourn Of all foreigners. Those
held to be undesirable are to be
expelled on brief notice.
It was understood that those who
remained would be deprived of Their
passports md would receive instead
certificates, which would forbid them
to travel through the interior.
Newspapers reported that police
had been warning Jugoslavians
against consciously or unconsciously
taking part in foreign propaganda
Included in this propaganda, &C.
cording to they themselves, were eff
forts to create fears among the peo-
pie, and especially to appeal to then

GERMANS RUSH TROOPS


Stockholm, April 17-(UP)-Fron-
tier dispatches today reported that
German air transports were rushing
achievements from Denmark to
the Norwegian port of Trondheim In
an effort to bolster defensive lines
spread out from the coast to the
Swedish frontier.
German airplanes we're reported
by the Norwegian Telegraph Agency
to be straflng Norwegian troops with
machine guns north Of Hamar after
the Nazis had occupied the impor-
tant fortified city of Kingsvinger,
northeast Of Oslo and IL miles from
the Swedish frontier.
Greatest German activity, how
ever, appeared to be centered on
strengthening positions on line
running eastward from Trondheim
to the frontier along the 50-miles
stretch of railroad which the Nazis
seized yesterday by dashing on u
special train from Trondheim to the
Storlien Hills. A continuous stream
Of German planes was en- route
from Denmark toward Trondheim,
the Stockholm radio reported.
One unconf1rmed report was that
railroad employees at Hamar sta
ton had shot down one German
plane that flew low over the area.
The Stockholm radio said the
Norwegian general staff broadcast
a proclamati ton to the Norwegian
people and soldiers, calling upon
them to hold firm and to trust in
aid being rushed by the allies.
Allied aid now is much more
powerful, the proclamation said,
and Norwegian mobilization is pro-
crossing.
ODDS AGAINST ITALY
London, April British
naval victories off Scandinavia and
the landing of allied forces in Nor
way was believed today to have
heightened the odds against Italy
entering the war at present.
Swift allied action was believed
made upon Italy by Germany's
stroke at Denmark and Norway.
Reports continued concerning even
tual italian moves against Yugo-
slavia and plans to close the Adri-
attic Sea by laying mines between
Albania and southern Italy, but
caused no excitement in London.
The more pronounced pro- Ger
man tone of the Italian press and
wireless this week and the arrival
in Rome Of German military mis-
sion was believed intended to divert
British energy from Scandinavia
and prevent rationing of italian i'm
ports by the British contraband
control at Gibraltar. British spokes-
men reaffirmed that the British
Mediterranean fleet is prepared for
all eventuantieS.

power could not hope to sever COM
pletely German communications be-
tween Norway and German Den
mark, but that the air force. would
be called upon to shoot down Ger
man transport planes carrying
troops, munitions and supplies
across the Skagerrak. German bases
at Bergen and Trondheim are be-
lieved to be getting most Of their
supplies by air now.
The Allies start under a handicap
in the air struggle. The distance to
Norway from British bases precludes
the hurting of swift huhhicane and
Spitfire pursuit planes into the
fight, because of their short cruis-
ing range. The Germans can utilize
nearby Danish bases for their pur-
suit planes. ---
BRITAIN ADMITS SINKING
London, April 17.-(UP)-The ad-
miralty said today that the sub
marine Thistle was overdue and
presumed lost.
Thistle is a 1000 ton submarine,
completed in May, 1889, with a
normal complement Of So officers
and men.
She was Of the same class as
the submarine Thetis, which sank of
the English west coast last year
with the loss of about 100 Of those
aboard. Since, the Thetls has been
raised, reconditioned and, it was
understood, is back in service.
The admiralty communique an
nouncing Thistle's presumed loss
said that she had ben operating in
the North Sea.
Submarines of the Thistle-om-
cially Triton-class are classified as
of patrol type, for general serv-
ice. The authoritative naval publ
cation James Fighting Ships COM
mentS that their outstanding fea-
ture Is moderate dimensions.
It was one OF the Thistle class
Truant, which according to the ad-
miralty sank the German 5000 tons
cruiser Karlsruhe on the day Ger
many invaded Norway.
(The German version of the
Karlsruhe's loss is that Norwegian
coastal batteries sank it,
Thistle passed its acceptance
trials last July, little more than
month after Thetis foundered. She
cost about $1,4OO,000. She had q
surface speed of Is knots and sub
merged speed of. nine. She carried
one 4-inch gun, two smaller guns
and 10 21-inch torpedo tubes.
She was the fifth submarine
whose loss had been admitted by
the admiralty since the European
war started. Seahorse, Starf1sh and
Undine had been lost in the vicinity
of Germany's Heigoland naval base
in the North Sea and Oxley as the
result Of an accidental explosion.
The Press association asserted
that Britain started the war with
81 submarines and the Germans
with about II. British estimates are
that about so Of Germany's had
been sunk.

ALLIED FORCES
FACING NAILS
Continued from Page u

The British admiralty admitted
that the submarine Thistle, q 81 AGO.
600 vessel of 1000 tons and carrying
a normal complement Of So officers
and men, had been lost in the North
sea. But against the repeated Nazi
threats Of intensified U-boat and
aerial attacks on the British Isles
from new bases in Norway and Dem
mark, the admiralty announced the
sowing Of a new mine field off west
ern coast of Scotland in the Clyde
area.
The intensified warfare in the
north served to increase the tension
in the little neutral countries, espe-
cially Belgium which recently has
taken additional precautions against
spread of the conflict and which to-
day recalled to the colors several
thousand men who had been released
because of advanced age.
But-pending some thrust that
spreads the war to a new field
greatest interest conferred on the
struggle for power in Norway, where
the allies and the Germans were
racing each other to get their trops
in the field first.
Situation Obscured
The actual military situation was
obscured by official secrecy imposed
by London and Berlin, but from the
frontier came scattered reports of
how the Germans were thrusting
their way toward the Swedish from
tier in the southeast (after capture
of Kongsvinger) and rushing REIN
forcements by airplane to a 50-mile
front established along the railroad
between the Norwegian west coast
port Of Trondheim and the Swedish
frontier at the narrowest part OF
mid-Norway.
And from the far northern from
tier opposite Narvik came dramatic
story of the war as told by Peter
G. Rhodes, United Press staff cor
respondent with the Norwegian army
headquarters in the Arctic and the
only newspaperman to reach the
outside world with the complete
story Of the battle Of Narvik.
Rhodes History Story
Rhodes story showed that Ger
man force of not more than $500
men and seven big destroyers with
more than 1000 mem had achieved
their objective Of destroying COM
munications-fo the time being at
least-between the Norwegian port
of Narvik and the Swedish iron ore
fields, but they seemed almost Ger
tain to pay a terrific price for their
daring.
The allied forces landing near
Narvik were reported to have fought
their way into the town after 40
ships had been sunk in naval fight
ing and to have captured at least
the railroad station in stiff fighting
The Germans were believed to have
dug in on Rombak Heights, across
the ford from Narvik, while part OF
their force followed the railroad to
the Swedish frontier in an effort tc
make certain that it could not later
be used by the British to get iron
ore from Sweden.
Norwegians and allied forces Tight
ing the Germans all Of the way were
reported to have killed many and
to have the remainder trapped.

Hearts become radiant when

God knows the solution of your

play in elementary assembly on
Thursday, December II.
Act Il: a conference in the

Act 2: Annapolis Convention.
The convention was celebrated
by ending with a dance The Min

Act 3: Constitutional Conven-
ton in Philadelphia, May, 1887.
The two patriotic songs which
were sung by the entire assembly
group were, America" and "Our

Mrs. Smiths sixth grade also
gave an assembly program or
Tuesday of last week, which con
sisted of a Christmas play, two
poems and several Christmas

making images out of clay, while
others are making metal bracelets.
The most interesting to me were
the belts and pocketbooks which
were made from burlap, decorated
