French Concession Troops
Leave Chinese Area

SHANGHAI, June 25 (P.-French
concession military defense forces
announced today withdrawal of
their troops from a small segment
of Chinese territory, adjacent to the
southwestern corner of the conces-
sion, which they had occupied since
the summer of 1887.
The zone is adjacent to Japanese
occupied areas around Shanghai
and the japanese military moved
into it as the French withdrew.
The French had taken over the
zone when the Chinese-Japanese
conflict struck Shanghai because of
the location there of a large French
Catholic Mission and the conces-
sion's water supply.
Then they said the situation de-
manded a security zone" for the
concession; today they stated the
need for the zone had ended.
Observers here expressed belief
that the French action, along with
the agreement to permit japanese
observers in Indo-China to watch
over arms shipments to China, was
a result of the French collapse in
Europe.
Americans here feared United
States trade with China over the
Indo-China Railway, which here
tofore has been heavy, would be
hard hit.

Artillerymen stepped from their

Some soldiers called across patches

ceived no replies, it was reported.
War correspondents quoted French
prisoners as saying they had orders

Feed the Birds!
Heavy Snowfall Cuts
OFF Food Supply
Citizens Should
Aid.

Because Of the recent heavy
snowfall the Connecticut Humane
Society appeals to clubs, schools
and individuals to feed the birds
while the ground Is blanketed and
natural food is inaccessible.
Each citizen VINO has a back
yard could easily arrange to pro-
vide food for our ''feathered
friends" We suggest clearing
away q small area Of snow or
erecting a shelf with q roof over
1t as a feeding station so that
the food may be easily accessible.
All schools, including those in
country districts, should make q
regular practice Of feeding the
birds.
Bread crumbs, table scraps, In
termediate size chicken scratch
grain and sun flower seeds are all
good foods. A piece Of suet hung
in a nearby tree is always wei
come.
Usually overlooked in feeding
birds is the fact that no bird can
digest its food without gravel, and
when the ground is covered with
snow this IS impossible to get.
Therefore, very fine gravel should
be mixed with the food. If this
is purchased 1t is well to buy two
sizes, the intermediate and the
baby chick size.
Let's all feed the birds-DONT
WAIT, DO IT TODAY.

He said that the admiralty had
known that the Altmark was off the
Norwegian coast and had dispatched
destroyers to head 1t off.
Stopped by Cruisers
Oslo reported that the Altmark
and its Norwegian escort were first
stopped by two British destroyers
and that q few minutes later three
more destroyers and o cruiser Joined
them.
According to the Norwegian gov
eminent the rescue occurred inside
the three mile limit of Norwegian
territorial waters and therefore Nor
way had protested to London.
There was still some contradic-
ton regarding the circumstances Of
the rescue. The northern naval COM
mander who announced 1t said that
q destroyer drew alongside the
Altmark and transferred the pris-
oners without difficulty.
He added that the rescued men
were expected at q Scottish port
later today.

1T was q very fine job" admiralty
officials at this port said.
Despite the statement that the
rescue was effected without diff
Guilty, there were the reports Of
firing to be explained and the
usually well informed press associa-
ton asserted that the Altmark
gave up only after resisting.
It had been reported here that
the Altmark, a mystery ship, had
three 6-inch guns.
The Altmark, according to de-
tailed reports by British merchant
captains whose ships the Graf Spec
had sunk, was serving as Naval
auxiliary ship, a supply ship and
tender to the pocket battleship.
Treated Brutality
British ship masters landed by
the Graf Spec at Montevideo said on
their return here that British mer-
chant seamen aboard the Altmark
were treated brutally, held In close
quarters, forced to sleep on lice
infested mattresses and made to
clean lavatories and perform other
mental services while Lascar Cast
Indian) prisoners looked on.
Prisoners were allowed one quart
Of water Q day, and subjected to
three days solitary confinement in
cells little better than an ordinary
locker for any infraction Of rules.
Food was bad, it was alleged, and
eating utensiles were often merely
cans which had contained conden-
sed milk.
