f. O. Falkner, representing the
| local council, and c. S. Finch, State
officer, attended the special called
! meeting in Lexington Thursday OF
| the State Council of the Junior Or
J der, at which time it was decided to
take over the orphanage Of the fra
ternity at Lexington.
Andrew Ripple, national past
councillor, presented the orphanage TO
N. Sankey Gather, of Harmony, the
$500,O0O orphanage plant, and the
! Juniors of the State are asked to
contribute an extra 81 per year for
its maintenance. When the national
council of the Junior Order meets in
Winston-Salem in 1871, the LeNing-
ton home will be decided to the North
Carolina JUNO" Order, provided the
fraternity in this State has in the
meantime demonstrated its ability to
maintain the institution financially.
a resolution drawn up by good
WilP' committee, consisting Of Mon
roe Adams, of Winston-Salem; P. E..
Pailer, Of Farmville, and E. M. Full
Ter, of Tarboro, to take over the home
was voted on and passed unanimous
ly. Five State officials and MEM
Der appointed by each of the l8 dis
tricts will act each year as the trus-
tees Of the orphan home.
The national body hao proposed to
relnquiSh the orphanage January 81
and to transfer the children to the
older and larger Junior Order home
at Tiffon, o.
The State council voted to levy an
additional orphans tax OF 81 year
on each member to provide addition
al funds for caring for larger num-
Der of children here.
The State board of officers were
elected trustees. It was also decided
that the l8 districts Of the order
should meet within the next go days
and each elect an additional trustee.
The trustees named yesterday are
N. Sankey Gather. of Harmony, state
councillor; J. L. White, of Oxford,
vice councillor; Roland A. Grady, OF
Wilson, past councillor; E. V. Harris,
of Tarboro, state secretary, and Cur
ney P. Hood, of Goldsboro, state
treasurer
Under the plan decided on yester-
day, children from other states in the
home at Lexington will be sent TO
Tiffon, and North Carolina children
at Tiffin will be sent to Lexington.
This, it was said, will necessitate
placing about 100 children in private
homes.
A resolution adopted by the coun-
Gil provided for the leasing Of the
100000 property at Lexington from
the national council until that body
meets in Winston Salem in June,
l94l, at which time it proposes to
deed the property outright to the
North Carolina juniors.

BY J. W. T. MASON

The reason French war
ships were not sent 10 British
ports before Marshal Petain' $
capitulation is contained. by
inference. among documents
purporting to have been cap
tured in France and now is
sued in a new German White
Book. The papers show that
General Weygand believed the
allies could win the war only
by a complete and decisive
military victory, which he
sought in the Near East. The
inference follows from this
judgment of the French gen.
eralissimo that once the
French army collapsed, the
allied naval power was con-
sidered useless for winning
the war.
The fundamental reason for
not handing over the French
fleet to the British thus
seems TO have been the same
as the reason the French
government did not move to
North Africa and continue
the war from a colonial base
instead of surrendering. The
two negative actions were
taken because the French
leaders considered further re-
sistance to Germany would
be hopeless.
Weygand and Petain appar-
entity had become dazed by
the overwhelming defeat of
their armies. Judging the
position solely from their
military standpoint they were
awed into a belief in the in
vincibility of the German war
machine which had so easily
conquered their own troops.
They seem to have become
convinced that with the
French army out of the way
there was no hope for the
British empire.
Thus, the disposition Of the
French fleet became a sub
ordinate matter. not worth a
serious quarrel with GERMANY

soned that they had lived up
10 their agreement with Great
Britain when they obtained
German consent not TO use
the French warships against
the British.
The French armistice ne

not wish to enrage the Ger

warships to be used against
Germany after Frances sur

been reese TIN ent among
French generals who believed
British military help had been
insufficient.
But these reasons must
surely have been based on
the French theory that the
allies could have won only by
a smashing military success;
and since Germany had won
on land, Hitler must certainly
win likewise on sea, regard
less of what France might
do. Obsessed by this idea
