Two reasons were given why
the order. believed In some quar-

withheld: 81 Hitler's preoceupa-

the western front. 81 the thought
that an open attack in Sweden

Warn Nation
To Prepare
For Battle!
Military Leaders
Awaiting Orders
From Benito

RoME-1taly was believed 10
be ready Monday to enter the war
on short notice.
Fascist leaders. presumably with
Benito Mussolini's approval, warned
the nation to prepare for war and
II was reported that Mussolini had
turned down fatty the appeal of
President Roosevelt for peace.
Some quarters said he was
playing his moral part In the
conflict by keeping the allies
attention diverted to an ever
increasing danger in southeast
ern Europe.
Mussolini's son in law, Count
Galeazzo Ciano, the foreign minis
ter. in a speech at Milan Sunday
said the nation was ready for war
as soon as Mussolini gave the
word" Other fascist leaders pre-
viously had asserted that Italy
was on the road to war. and there
had been numerous demonstrations
against the starving" blockade of
Great Britain and France.
Speaking in Milan on the occa-
sion of the first anniversary of the
signing OF the Rome-Berlin axis
agreement, Ciano said:
United In spirit and faith.
the Italian people are getting
ready to meet a new task TO
which they may be called.
Maybe You know better than
do what this task Is.
But 1t is inspired by the defense
Of our rights as a sovereign state
on land, sea and in the air and by
the necessity of finally achieving
our aspirations, which are natural
because they are just and indis-
pensable to the life of a nation
which is dictated by the necessity
of maintaining the high and I'M
sullied prestige of Italy. This
great fascist nation intends TO
keep faith with her obligations
and together with these for an
ever-greater destiny
There was no official indication
Of what Mussolini said in reply to
Mr. Roosevelt's reported plea for
peace. Official quarters let it be
known that Mussolini's attitude
regarding the war was unchanged.
This was regarded as being tanta-
mount to a rejection of the Roose-
welt bid.

attempted to unbutton her little
jacket.
This stays on" she said. back
ing away.
He roared with laughter. "All
right-all right-just wanted to be
helpful" He patted her cheek.
Look at her. boys" he yelled.
Am ! a good picker or am l
good picker2' He had purple
lowls and a bald head.
Ann knew right then that her
doubts had been well founded. She
glanced about the apartment. No
one lived there. that was obvious.
1t had merely been taken for the
evenings entertainment. A kitch-
en-. brilliantly lighted. opened off
the main room. From where Ann
stood. she could see down a hall
from which opened bedrooms and
bath.
Jake took her hand. Its plain
that you need a little drink" he
said thickly. Come with your old
pal, Jake" He led her to a con-
sole table which had been turned
into a bar. 1t was loaded with
bottle and glasses.
Ann said, II thought we were
going out to dinner" Anything TO
get away.
That's the surprise" he told
her with sly heaviness. We're
having dinner right here. You like
that beautiful ?"
Florabelle had removed her fur
and hat. With a glass in her hand,
she sat on the arm of a chair,
looking extre mely decorative.
Clara, aided by Steve, was getting
out of her wraps. She was laugh
ing and talking namely. Ann
looked at Steve. He was younger
than the other men, younger and
nicer.
Jake had gone behind the i'm
I
provised bar. "Whatll 1t be,
angel ?"
Ann was at loss. Evidently
this was what was meant by be
ing on a party" She had never
tasted intoxicating liquor, her
father had seen to that mex
perienced as she was, she knew
that it was up to her to bluff.
She couldn't put on an act" as
Florabelle had said.
Mix UP something you think
I'll like" she said indifferently.
Did you hear that, Steve? ?"
Jake beloved. You see before
you a smart little lady. She says,
Mix up something that you think
I'll like ......
BY this time Clara was slipping
a long drink. She was doing her
best to be casual about 1t, imi-
tating Florabelles every move.
While Jake hilariously mixed the
drinks Steve crossed the room to
Ann. He was an exceptionally
good-looking young man, well
groomed and nice hammered. He
was a little less intoxicated than
his two friends.
I've never had the pleasure Of
meeting you,' he said.
Perhaps you've never gone
Summing in the right places" she
returned coolly. Ann was angry,
more angry at herself than at the
three men.
Why had she come? Why had
she let herself in for something
she might not be able to handle i?
What was the fun in a gathering
like this? Where was the excuse
for it?
Pert little devil, aren't you ?"
Steve remarked.
II can told my own in any
crowd"
do I detect gravel in that re-
mark ?"
Il put some in. Maybe you are
clever enough to detect it."
Jake came from behind the bar,
stemmed glass in his hand.
Here you are. my sweet"
Thank you" She took the
glass. What was she to do with
it? Why-oh, why had she come?
