One result Of Britains action was
q revival Of emphasis n unofficial
quarters on the future Of French
and British possessions In this hem
isphere-particularly French Islands
in the Caribbean. Congressional
leaders already have urged seizure
of these islands and 1t was certain
that that problem would be discuss
ed at the forthcoming Pan Amer
lean conference in Havana July 70.
Diplomatic observers doubted that
the breaking off Of British French
relations would cause embarrass-
ment to this country. They noted,
however, that in addition to the
Caribbean Islands problem there
might be some difficulty-particu-
larly If the British-French break
reaches the point Of declaration OF
war-over the disposition Of French
funds here and the administration
of the 5OO00,0 900 fund recently vot-
ed by congress for European war re-
lief.
Most of the relief fund was des-
tined for French refugees since the
totaliat TRAN powers have declined
the offer of Red Cross aid. If Brit
ain should blockade shipment OF
goods to France, distribution OF the
relief might become difficult.

Martinique Is 1900 miles north
east of the Panama Canals Atlantic
entrance and has Q population Of
ass, 900, mostly negroes. It was the
scene Of the famous Mt. Pelee vol
canic eruption in 1902 which killed
$4,000 people.
Some ofiicials pointed out that
Il might be possible for q clash to
occur within the territorial waters Of
the island without violating the
safety zone. But they also explained
that it was unlikely that the British
cruisers would enter the submarine
infested shore waters.
Great Britain, France and Ger
many have rejected the safety zone
principle In connection with the
Graf Spec battle which occurred off
the Irruguayan coast last year. The
Graf Spec, a German pocket battle
ship, engaged In battle with allied
warships and limped into Monte
video. When ordered to leave, her
commander ordered the crew to
scuttle the ship.
Meantime, it was reported that
Count Rene De Saint-Quenttn,
French ambassador here, had sent
many cables to his government urg-
ing against surrender Of the French
fleet to Germany. The sources said
that Saint Quentin had emphasized
American interest In the matter.
Shortly before the armistice terms
with Germany were announced, II
was said, he had been assured that
the fleet would not be surrendered
French circles expected, however
that the ambassador would continue
to serve the Petain government and
accept orders from 1t.

WAR MOVES ON

Only the German air force re.
mains to challenge Britain's COM
mand of the seas and demolish the
British supply ships. Hitler has thou
sands of aircraft, held back for con-
centrated attack of unprecedented
violence. His expectation Of success
is based on these new instruments OF
war; and until he shows his hand IN
the air, it is impossible to determine
what turn his strategy will take. But
there is room for belief that an in
vasion with hundreds, Of transports
risking destruction may give way to
a new form of air blitzkreig against
Britain's food fleet.
Attack Justified
Great Britain's attack on the French
feet at Oran is justified by the
common conduct Of warfare. With
the French fleet in danger Of passing
into German hands, Frances posi-
ton was really one Of armed nett
trality." During the Napoleonic vars
Denmark and the other Baltic coun-
tries announced their armed neu-
trality" to help Napoleon against
the British. Nelson attacked part OF
the Danish iieet in 1901. defeating It
in the battle Of Copenhagen. In this
engagement he turned his blind eye
TO his telescope when his superior
officer signalled him to Withdraw
before the battle was over.
More appropriate to the present
action OF Britain against France.
however. was the British procedure
In 1907 when Napoleon and Russia
threatened 10 seize all neutral Euro
pean shipping preliminary TO an In
vasion Of England. Denmark then
had the largest neutral feet. Cam

mark. He b0unbarded C0penhagen
and captured 10 OF Denmark's "
vessels OF war. Thereafter an iflya-

ROCHESTER, Ind, Feb. 2l.--
Rochester citizens and circus at
tendants, turned elephant hunters,
today had rounded up the last of II
elephants which wandered around
the countryside for several hours
after fire destroyed the main build
ing of the Cole Brothers circus win
ter quarters last night.
The elephants numbered through
i city streets and out on to country
roads after their escape from the
burning building, but they offered
no resistance when trainers and
amateur "big game hunters" found
them.
More than 100 other valuable cir
Gus animals burned to death in the
fire and zack Terrell and Jess Ad-
kins, the owners. estimated their
loss at between $150,000 and $780,
600
The roaring of lions, tigers and
leopards and the screaming of mon
keys, trapped in the burning build
ing. drowned out the noise of the
cracking flames during the height
of the fire. One elephant also
burned to death.
Terrell and Adkins said the ami
mails lost would be replaced in time
for the opening of the outdoor cir
Gus season. Those lost included two
zebra, two llamaS, 100 monkeys, two
tigers, two lions. two honesses, two
lion cubs. a hippopotamus, two
leopards, a sacred Indian COW and
two monfalon and two oudads, de-
scribed as being types of Gazelle.
None of the more dangerous ami
mails escaped.
Rochester residents showed no
4 alarm at the escape of the ele-
? plants. Instead, they joined In the
hunt and whenever one OF the ele-
plants was seen police received
numerous calls as to its where
abouts.
AS the elephants were rounded UP
they were led to a special railroad
l. car for shipment to other quarters
at nearby Peru.
One of the elephants was struck
by an automobile, however, and was
injured. A pony, led to safety,
escaped and was killed by an auto
mobile.
Circus workers left their evening
meal to help lead animals to safety.
They lost all of their belongings
when the fire destroyed their Sleep
ing quarters
The hippopotamus was in an i'm
movable cage and could not be
saved. The flames spread too swiftly
for workers to remove the cages Of
many other animals.
The captured elephants we're
tended carefully to ward off pneu-
monia. They are susceptible to
cold, damp air.
The blaze was the latest in a
series of disastrous fires in this
vicinity. Authorities began an in
vestigation to determine whether it
might have been of incendiary
= ~origin.
Mr.. Terrell declared, however, ut
seems definite that it was caused
by a short circuit in the paint
room"
Two resort hotels on Lake Mani
