British Fight Off All. Nazi Blows Ports Of Europe All Blockaded
German Bombs Did Fall in Streets Of Southeast Town; Claims Made
 By Both Nations
BY JOE ALEX MORRIS United Press Foreign News Editor)

Great Britain drastically extended blockade con- trol to all European ports today, fought off new Ger man bombing attacks the British Isles and took stern attitude toward Japanese arrests of Brtons spy charges in the Far East. The new blockade meas ures disclosed before the house of commons secretly debated foreign policy provided that ships to or from all European ports, we'll specified ports in North Africa and the Atlantic Islands, must submit to con- traband control
 Purpose of Blockade
 The purpose of the action to prevent shipment of goods especially oi from Spain or other neutral terT tory to Germany Italy and to prevent the axis powers exporting goods through friendly neutral ports IL was generally believed that the blockade action which alecLs ships to or the Americas was directed cnleIiy against Spain which had been reported reshppng oil to the Reich but it also applies to the Balkans and Portugal
 Bombing Attack Continues German aerial attacks continued with the bombing of southeast England town but British officials asserted that Na claims in regard to sinking of British shlppng were greatly exaggerated. The German high command during ending July 21 for instance reported that 194 500 of British shipping had been sunk The ao
 ralty figures for that week. released today reported tna Britain lost only Il shps totaling 3777 tons in addition to 92 of neutral shipping and 2O88 tons of Allied shipping sunk
 Germans Make Big Claims
 Furthermore, German claims were that by July F a total of tons of enemy shipping and other shl ping useful to Britain had been sunk whereas, the ad nraty said that up July q only 231O52 tons of Brtsn allied and neutral shipping has been lost.

Life Members
Must Dig Up

The long arm of the law reached
into Washington this week to
crack down on life members of
the Multnomah Athletic club at
Portland.
In accordance with an L. 6. In
ternal Revenue statute which has
been on the books since 1917. life
members of clubs and similar in
situations must pay 10 per cent
tax on their club dues, assessments,
etc.
IL seems that such members of
the Multnomsh club have over
looked that little detail.
Penalty for willfully evading
payment of such taxes is a SIC. 900
fine or Imprisonment both.
However. the Internal Reeve
nue. department SAYS II viii he
satisfied with the money ow-
Ing II, plus n 100 per cent
fine.
The Internal Revenue depart
ment headquarters at Tacoma dis

from the national capital TO col
lect some dozen accounts from
members of the Multnomah Ath-
lectic club who live heresbouts:
some are in arrears with said tax
es for p years. some fortunately
not so long.
Members Of local clubs are sub
ject 10 the same tax law. of course.
but the Internal Revenue depart
ment declares miscreants whether
careless. stubborn or otherwise -
are gratifyingly scarce.

Inquisitive Sal

Hello, Folks:
Well, the Tennis Tournament of
the Twin Cities is over and to
ALBERT ALLEN is awarded the
victor's crown, for in the hard
fought match he successfully de-
feated his worthy challenger, HER
MAN BAILEY, of the Phyllis
Wheatley House. STAFFORD
LOTT and PEARL SCHOFIELD
were extremely successful in their
double set.
Your gal, Sal, has a confession
to make-it is only that she obeyed
a hddish impulse and attended the
circus, but the strange thing was
that over nine-tenths of the audi
ence were adults. And there was
more than one mouth hanging
open in a silly, sickening grin
when the man in the sideshow
swallowed the mouse and then the
goldfish. 1t really takes all kinds
of thrills to make up an exciting
evening. Highlights of the circus
were many sepia attractions, espe-
cially the act of Rola Rola from
South America. They could easily
have been from New York's Har-
lem. Anyway, it is a grand feel
ing when our people reach the tops
in any performance, even if they
have to claim another country.
HERMAN BAILEY departed for
st. Louis last Tuesday. He will
be missed greatly by all the fell
lows and by Of st. Paul
in particular.
Wonder what happened to the
A. Sc. W. romance of past years.
1t was one of st. Paul's most torrid
love affairs. Ditto the A S.
E. II. romance.

man Bailey 6-3, 4-6, Ga, Ga. Bailey
proved an equal match for the de-
Tending champ but when the flashy
Allen saw the chips were really
down, he seemed ably equal to re-
taliate anything the challenger
had to offer.
Allen started off by winning the
first set 6-S, Bailey retaliated by
winning the second set GA. The
next set went to Allen Ga, thereby
giving Allen a one set advantage.
The fourth and deciding set proved
a ding dong affair with many long

pulled ahead to lead in games So

SLOGANS AND WAR


We were sloganeered into the last
war-at least as a partial cause. "If
England and France are licked our
turn is next" That one pulled
heavily. ''This is a world war of
democracy against autocracy. Our
place is on the side of the democ-
racies-they are fighting our war;"
Boiled down to make the world
safe for democracy that was a
honey.
There is a good deal of doubt as
to whether they were fighting our
war but there is none whatever that
we fought theirs and did it in time
to win it. Then we paid lot for
it. We asked for nothing and got
considerably less than that.
About the only difference between
the sloganeering approach in that
war and this is that this time it is
working three times as fast.
"Fighting our war" was what
Jimmy Cromwell said to Canada
and, while he got an official spank
ing, no small part of the press on
the eastern seaboard said he spoke
the truth, or at least what most
Americans think.
I doubt if he spoke the truth.
West of the Alleghanies at least, ii
has been my observation that most
Americans think no such thing.

Chinese theaters use little seen

audience visualize them by the
gestures of the players. When
an actor is supposed to enter a
room, he steps over an imaginary
threshold; to close the door, he
turns around and brings together
his outstretched arms; and when
he takes his girl for a boat ride,
she walks in front of him, at a
fixed distance, while he follows,
