Natural Caves In France
Are Bomb-Proof Shelters

Few countries are so fortunate as
France In the matter OF ready-made
afraid shelters.
Particularly in the north and east
are these dugouts to be found. They
are a relic of the war-like Middle
ages when almost every village
was provided with such a refuge.
Often a natural cave, which had
been carefully enlarged. would re-
ceive the villagers and their cattle.
The most famous of these hidden
refugees is the underground city"
of NaourS. near AmienS. II con-
talns a great number of chambers
so arranged that their entrances do
not face each other-private apart
ments, as it were. There is also a
large hall. and one chamber shows
traces Of having been used as a
chapel
Not far from this is another ref
uge. this time a tunnel 50 yards
long with rooms on each side.
Today a census of these caves is
being taken. This IS part of the
local ar:.-aircraft precautions. Be-

NAzI GERMANY
GIFTS DENIED
None Going There Says
Mrs. Laid in Answer to
RumOrs on Contrary

Mrs. Edith Laid, executive Sec
rotary of the local branch of the
Red Cross, said today that all re-
ports that have been circulating
about the city that portions of the
bandages and the food that the or
ganization is rushing to war-strick-
en- Europe were going to Naz Ger
many are absolutely unfounded on
fact.
When the Red Cross first took up
the matter of war relief, being a
neutral organization, they offered
aid equally to all belligerent coun-
tries but Germany refused any Of
fers of aid from the international
organization, saying there was no
need Of it. Consequently, the relief
money and food and surgical dress
ing being sent over are going to
England, and to unoccupied France.
Mrs. Ladd expressed pleasure that
so much was being done by the
people of Water bury, to assist the
Red Cross in its work in these try
ing days.

TERRELL ORDERED
HELD FOR TRIAL
Probable Cause Found in
Case of Accused Col
Ored Youth

Gordon Terrell, %, colored, of
1913 Bishop street, charged with
statutory rape, was bound over un-
der bonds of $1,000 after Judge John
L. Gaffney found probable cause in
city court today.
Terrell, whose brother Garland,
alias Buster Terrell, 20, was arrested
last week in Eastford and held for
the murder of a North Carolina
white man last October, pleaded not
guilty.
The state presented Capt. Joseph
P. Stevens, Detective Lieut.. william
F. Pollard, the complaining witness,
who was the girls father, and the
14-year-old colored girl herself.
Defense Attorney Irving FASTER
max objected to the bind-over on
the ground that the defense had
not been heard, but Judge Gaffney
said the states evidence was sufi-
cient.

A[UMNPS PLANS
Suggestion to Change
Name of LeavenwOrth
High School Defied

Opposition to remaining Leaven-
worth high school after Harrison
s. Allen, retired principal who died
Sunday, was reported increasing to-
day as the alumni prepared to meet
Tuesday to begin drive for the
change of name.
It was expected today that the is
sue will be brought before the board
of education at the next meeting,
and some members Of the board are
known to be opposed to any such
change.
Although the alumni was said to
be unanimously in favor of the
change and to have the support Of
the faculty, the proposal was con-
sidered premature in many circles
and unwarranted in others.
The pros desire the change in view
of the fact that Mr.. Allen was the
first principal Of the school and the
force behind its development. The
cons hold that the late Elisha Leav-
enworth was in realty the individual
who made the trade school possible
by leaving trust fund. They held
also that Mr.. Leavenworth was a
leading citizen whose philanthropy
still continues to work for good in
the city.

it would oppose any change in the
status of it possessions in the west
ern hemisphere.)
While the "trusteeship" project
had called for taking over the COL
onies outright, without consulting
their owners or inhabitants, the Ar
gentines commended that any action
would be taken through diplomatic
channels, both in the western hem
isphere and Europe, and only after
the American republics had agreed
| that action was necessary to safe
guard the peace or the defense OF
the new world.
Many delegates believed, that the
Argentine declaration" did not rep
resent unalterable opposition to the
mandate idea and hoped for a sat-
isfactory compromise.
All Latin American countries were
pleased and impressed with the
economic proposals of the United
States, especially because President
Roosevelt had asked congress to in
crease the funds of the export-im-
port bank and remove the limita-
tons on its loans to countries in
this hemisphere.
Argentina gave firm support to
the United States economic project.
This was taken to indicate that the
United States had abandoned Pres
ident Roosevelt's idea of cartel of
nations in which the economic in
terests of all the Americas would be
pooled, which Argentina opposes.

(Umte0 frcSS Stan correspondent
Havana, July 26 = U.P) - The
Havana conferences first accom-
plishment of worldwide signifi-
canoe was concluded today when
the delegates circularized Brazil
ian project endorsing the Rio De
Janeiro commissions codes on an
international neutrality law.
Meanwhile U. S. Secretary of
State Cordell Hull took personal
command of a drive for convinc-
ing Pan-American demonstration to
Europe that the western hemisphere
is united and prepared to defend its
political and economic sovereignty.
The Rio De Janeiro commissions
codes were approved yesterday at
| closed plenary session when dele
gates applauded work of the COM
mission set up by the last Pan
American conference at Panama
City.
1t was pointed out that, done
under the stress of wartime condi-
tons, the commissions work was
regarded by the greatest jurists here
as striking demonstration Of the
vitality of Pan-American effort and
proof that the American republics
now have assumed world leadership
in behalf of the orderly evolution of
international law.
The Rio De Janeiro commission
was set up by the Panama confer
ence to deal with neutrality prob
lens, especially those arising from
the Panama declaration of west
ern hemisphere security zone.
The approval resolution said that
as result of its work the commits
sion has defined the judicial nature
of the continental seas, their char
acteristicS, hostile acts prohibited in
them and punishment in cases in
violations.
1t said that now it is essential
| that the American republics coor-
dinate their procedure regarding the
European conflict through uniform
ity of principles regulating the neu-
trality zone.
The conference secretariat today
was busy organizing As resolutions
presented to committees of the con-
ference Of American foreign minis
ters yesterday.
Hull's greatest task was to obtain
harmony among the 81 republics
represented at the conference of
American foreign ministers on a
compromise declaration regarding
the orphaned western hemisphere
possessions of conquered European
nations.
Veteran American statesmen were
agreed that Hull would succeed.
Many diplomats privately assured
the United Press that prospects
were favorable for an agreement on
major problems confronting the
Americas, not only concerning the
European colonies, but on new and
greater economic cooperation, set

With 56 separate proposals before
it, the conference today began cor
relating them into six or so resolu-
lions representing the new worlds
position in the face of rapid changes
in Europe and the Far East.
Speedy agreement was anticipated

olution on economies and other

our national defense a close check
on exports of scrap iron and steel
should be maintained.
Previously an executive order
was issued subjecting exports Of
machinery, tools, munitions, and

this action was provided by the
Smith amendment.
at the outset of the current ses-
