Two Ships Sunk
By.Nazi Raiders
Off West Indies
al Survivors From
British Vessels
Reach French Isle
BY the Associated Press.

~ Siir AooOSlotCo ASoo
LONDON, July 1.-Two British
merchant ships, the King John and
the Davisian, have been sunk in the
region of the West Indies by a Ger
man raider known to be at large
in the Atlantic" the Admiralty an
nounced tonight.
The Admiralty said the raider lis
believed to be converted merchant
vessel"
All British merchant ships have
been warned.
The German high command an
nounced yesterday that their war
ships operating on the high seas
had sunk 10000 more tons OF "en-
emy" shipping. The announcement
did not say where the raiders were
operating.
The pocket battleship Graf Spec,
operating in the South Atlantic,
sank nine British ships last fall be-
fore British warships chased her
into Montevideo on December IA.
Three days later the Nazi crew
scuttled the craft. Her commander,
Capt. Hans Langsdorff, committed
suicide on December 20.
The appearance Of German raid
ers in the West Indies has long
been predicted by German resi-
dents of South American countries.
A report several months ago said
five U-boats and a tender were
sailing toward the British South
American port of Trinidad. They
were never spotted.

FORT DE FRANCE, Martinique,
July 10 (P.-Reports from the French
island of st. Barthelmy said today
that two lifeboats arrived there
Wednesday with Al men from the
British cargo steamers King John
and Davisian. sunk by enemy action
400 miles east.
The report Of two British ships
being sunk 400 miles east of st..
Barthelmy Island indicated that the
attack may have occurred within
the neutrality zone laid down by the
u American nations.
Brief reports from Fort de France
did not mention what type of vessel
sank the British freighter, but their
sinking revived recent German
claims that sea raiders were at work
in undisclosed areas.
The reported attacks were the
first in South American waters since
last December when the German
pocket battleship Graf Spec terror
lied Shipping until British warships
ran her into Montevideo.
Both the ships reported sunk have
been trading between England and
the West Indies.
Lloyd's lists the Davisian as
6.433-ton freighter from Liverpool,
the King John as a 5,228-ton mer-
chant ship from London.

Shotgun Brigades'
For Home Defense
. Mapped by Army
Men Dropped From Guard
Nay Be Organized Into
New Stute Units
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Creation of State 'el1ome guards"
to provide local defense in event of
total or partial National Guard
mobilization was reported today
under War Department considera-
ton.
Authoritative sources envisioned
the possibility that men disqualified
for active combat duty because of
age, physical defects, family and job
responsibilities might be organized
into shotgun brigades" to replace
the regular militia.
Although the War Department
gave no confirmation to the reports,
1t was known that the Army has
been studying the civilian protec-
tion" problem for some time and has
drawn up comprehensive measures
for emergency use.
May Be State Responsibility.
Several authorities pointed out
that the police powers normally ex-
ercised by the National Guard would
remain the responsibility of the
States and that they might be
charged with creating home defense
units, under War Department SUPER
vision.
Home defense training on a ma
tional scale for men between 1s and
81 and between IS and IS is con-
templated in the pending Burke
Wadsworth compulsory military
training bill, which the War Depart
ment has indorsed in general.
Under that bill, the 21-45 group
would be liable to combat training,
but men with dependents and with
jobs vital to defense might be ex-
empted.
Family Men Weeded Out.
Anticipating mobilization of the
Guard for active service, MANY
States already are wedding out all
men IN the lower enlisted ranks who
nave dependents, and it was THOUGHT
likely that men with vital Jobs also
may be dismissed eventually. !
The War Department, which does
not accept Regular Army recruits
"~oAA NSkSSAAACAtc, lldo cSGlIuAUod That
3 to 10 per cent of Guardsmen of
all ranks have dependents. but the
National Guard Bureau here be-
lieves that most in the lower grades

mated since limited national emer-
gency was proclaimed last Septem-
Der.
President Roosevelt has announced
his intention to mobilize $1,000
Guardsmen for training, II Congress
approves, and the Army wishes to
call out the entire militia later to
aid In compulsory training. Until
mobilization comes, however, eulist-
ment and dismissal Of men remain
under State control, the bureau ex-
planned.
Some Employers Grant Leaves.
So far, the bureau added, there
are no provisions in Federal law
for exemptions to modified Guards
men.
Some major employers and mu-
inequalities have granted leaves of
absence with pay and guarantees Of
