Greek authorities denied any
Greek responsibility for the killing
of Daut Hoggia and declared Italian
accounts of the affair were fantastic.
Newspapers here were forbidden to

Diplomats expressed belief the

Will Colo Britain
+ Red Cross to Mobilize
Donors to Supply the
Victims Of Warfare
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The mobilization Of volunteer
donors to furnish blood plasma to
Great Britain's war wounded was
announced yesterday by the Ameri-
can Red Cross.
The donors will be New York City
residents and the project will be
conducted In cooperation with the
Blood TRANSMISSION Betterment Asso-
citation of New York. The Red
Cross will mobilize the donors and
ship the expected thousands of liters
Of solution to the British Red Cross
The New York association advised
the Red Cross that the current price
for blood plasma is 1874 liter.
Red Cross officials said that to
date no requests had been received
from Germany for blood plasma.
Recently the Red Cross perfected
experimental plans for the possible
organization of a Nationwide corps
of donors in this country to make
a supply available to the Army
Medical Corps in case of emergency.
The British Red Cross informed
the organization here that 1t could
use 300 lters of plasma weekly.
Chairman Norman Davis of the
American Red Cross said shipments
would be made by Clipper plane
if emergency conditions demanded.
The solution will be half blood
plaSma and half saline solution.
This allows the material to be kept
indefinitely in sterile bottles, where
as whole blood is subject to de-
terioration. Experts said that I'M

Both Marshal Petain and Gen.

100000 Jobs in
Year, A. FL. Predicts
Reserve Board Reports
500, 900 Reduction
In Ranks Of Idle
- the Associated Press.

- the Associated Press.
A prediction that the defense
program would cause within a year
the employment of 100000 persons
now out of work and % per cent
increase in industrial profits in 1910
came today from the American
Federation of Labor.
The Federal Reserve Board said
the ranks of the unemployed had
been reduced about 100000 in the
last year. About 100000 jobless
persons found work, it reported. but
a new crop of youth arriving at
working age partially offset the re-
employment.
The number Of persons out of
work is still large" the board said.
Index Revised Drastically.
In its monthly bulletin the board
rated July industrial production at
about 121 per cent of the 1858
average. With this calculation, 1t
inaugurated a drastically revised
index OF the factory output. The
boards former index, under which
the July figure would have been lit,
was based on 1923-25 as a compare
tive period.
The 121 index for July compared
with an identical figure for June,
Ill In April, an all-time high of
126 last December and 104 in July,
1889. Allowances for seasonal diff
ferences were made in the figures,
to facilitate comparison of different
months.
The American Federation of La
Dor, in its monthly survey of bust
ness, said that most recent esti-
mates show 2,500,000 likely to be
re-employed by June, 1941, due to
the defense program" which, allow
ing for other factors. would bring
the total number of unemployed
down to 6,600,000 by that date. The
A. F. L. estimated unemployment in
June of this year at 10143,0 900.
Soaring Prifits Reported.
Regarding prospective increase Of
% per cent in industrial profits, the
survey said prospective profits of
400 leading industrial corporations
for 1910 amount to $2,28O, 900 900.
which almost equals the average of
1867, high points of the last war
and approaches the prosperity peak
of 1927-1929 and the recovery peak
of 1887. Profits of these corporations
it said, are running SO per cent
above last year.
Corporations have not increased
wages as much as their earnings per-
mitted," the survey said. "A larger
flow Of income to workers is vital
Newly created wealth must lift the

Italians Report Contact
With Main British Force

ROME, Aug. II (P.-Italian
troops advancing in British Somali-
land have established contact with
the main British forces defending
the capital and chief port of Ber-
bera, the high command announced
today.
The daily communique merely
announced:
In British Somaliland our troops,
continuing their advance, have
made contact with the main enemy
forces"
1t was presumed the three Ital-
ian columns which previously had
occupied the port of leila, the
towns of Hargeisa and Adueina
and the Karin and Godajere
passes finally had engaged in bat
tie with the troops holding the
main British position.
But the high command did not
issue any word that fighting be-
tween the two forces actually was
in progress.
Authoritative sources said the
capture OF the TWO SOmalland
passes meant that the Italian
forces had safely left the desert
wastes behind and were attacking
the British on the sea side OF the
slopes.
Celebrating on a high command
report of the bombing Of a British
airdrome near Erkovit yesterday,
military authorities said the exist
ence of the airport was discovered
by italian pursuit planes which
had followed British bombers re-
turning homeward from a raid.

reserves and balloon barrages.
Heavy damage was reported at
various points, but the greatest &C
complishment, in the German view,
was a massed attack by dive bomb
ers on the heavily fortified naval
zone at Portland.
German observers who flew over
the harbor later said the waterfront
had been left in flames and almost
every ship in the harbor had been
destroyed.
Regarded as almost secondary was
an attack on a British convoy of
10 vessels in the Channel, which
the high command said resulted IN
sinking of three freighters totaling
1900 tons and serious damage to
three other merchantmen and a
destroyer.

accompanying the German bombing
squadrons. 81 were listed as de-
stroyed over Portland, seven at
Dover. II in the attack on the
convoy and the remaining eight at
other points. Eight British barrage
balloons also were reported restroyed.
The German radio, which kept up
running descriptive as the German
squadrons returned, said British
planes at one time were falling
like birds shot out of the sky"
While asserting the German aerial
assaults would be pressed home
from now on with the greatest en-
ergy, authorized commentators de-
clined to speculate whether yester-
days action was the beginning of
the blitzkrieg against England
which has been expected ever since
the conquest of France.
In addition to the air raid yes
terday, the high command said
German submarine sank the $780,
ton armed British merchant ship
UpWey Grange.
The high command acknowledged
that British planes had again car
ried out bombing raids over West
and North Germany Saturday night
but minimized the damage. One
British plane was reported shot
down.

MINE DEATHS up
rs PERCENT m 1910

NEW YORK-While congress kept
the Neely-Keller mine inspection bill
pigeonholed, death struck more heav-
lily at the miners in the first 10 months
of 1910 than in 1889.
The December isue of Labor Notes,
published by the Labor Research as
ISOLATION, shows that the death toll of
1,120 was 26 per cent created than for
the same period last year, when 1886
men were killed in U. S. coal mines.
The three worst disasters of 1910
to date-wiped out total of 226 men.
These were the explosions at BARLEY,
w. Va, (91 dead, Neffs, Ohio (72),
and Cambria county, Pa. (63).
Yet these deaths represent only a
part of the tragedy, Labor Notes
points out. Left behind in the three
explosions were 1853 widows and 1868
orphans, a total of 531 lives blighted
by the stubborn opposition of mine op-
orators to federal safety regulations
The Neely-Keller bill was brought
to the floor when 218 congressman
signed petition to discharge it from
a recalcitrant committee, but coal OPP

that it was all big mistake. They

FINDS BOTTOMS

the couple resolved to stay together
at all cost.
