Last weekend, young Barney,
only Seven-years-old, caught a
Seven-foot, eight-inch sailfish,
and the party reports many other
like catches as they patrol fish
ing grounds hereabouts each day.
Mr.. Donnelley made the ma
tons headlines awhile back
when he sold his giant Lockheed
plane to the British government
for war use. The plane was
flown from Chicago to Quebec
for delivery in record time.
Reminiscent of World War
days in this city was the expert
ence recited by MIR. Donnelley
when, early in 1918, he was con-
nected with the navy air service.
He flew a blimp from a northern
city to this city, got caught in a
storm north of here and was
blown to sea. Eventually he and
his crew landed at the airfield
here.

official representative to the con-

to beware of racketeers and for

guise of patriotic organizations.
$50 far, he said, Operations

learned at the conference that

Discipline is necessary TO sue

Thus summed up 1t W. Z p.

and its importance.
In the belief that many people
have the wrong impression Of
military discipline, Ii Roberts
authorized this description of the
term:
Military discipline is the men
tai attitude and state of training
which make obedience and prop
er conduct automatic under all
conditions. 1t is founded upon
respect for and loyalty to prop
erly constituted authority. Mill

LONDON. Aug. H.-GermanY
conducted sporadic raids over
England this morning and early
this afternoon. following what
was declared to be the most ex-
tensive air engagements of the
whole war last night.
Sending a total of 500 planes
into the combat last night, Hitler
apparently had issued orders to
spread out over the whole coastal
area of eastern England. Re-
ports given out here stated that
over hundred towns sent in dis
patches telling of raids and huge
lists of casualties were compiled,
though totals were not released.
Small detachments of Nazi
raiders flew high over this city
again last night and this morn
ing, but, as far as could be learn
ed, no bombs were dropped. The
Nazis appear bent on breaking
English morale with their night
ly appearances over this capital
city, keeping residents awake
and ready to scurry to afraid
shelters.
Industrial areas were again
hit last night, largest losses be-
ing admitted in armament fac
tories at Coventry.
Raj. forces, however, con-
tinued their retaliatory drives
against both Germany and Italy.
In the former case, large squad
rons flew over 500 miles into
Nazi country and bombed a num-
Der of cities, including suburbs of
Berlin.
In Italy, the Raj. reported
that a number of factories at
Turin had been set afire and
that bombs had been unleashed
on important railroad centers.
Dispatches from Rome TODAY
brought the news that declara-
tions of war against Egypt may
be expected shortly. Mussolini
is reported to have sent strong
warnings to that near-east ma
ton, decrying the aid being given

ficials much of the talk is
hooey.
There's no doubt that if the
United States tin supply were
cut off, there would be fine
mess:
But for that to happen, Eng
land would have to lose the war,
and Japan would have to seize
British Malaga and the Dutch
East Indies, and blockade our
trade with those settlements or
refuse to sell us any tin. Further
more. it would have to be proved
that Bolivia couldn't step up its
tin supply to $4,000 tons. 1t was
almost that high in 1929 but had
dropped 10 a little more than half
that by last year. There is the
possibility We could cut our con-
sumption to get along on what
we could get from Bolivia plus
the small amount of tin that
could be reclaimed.
