Hitting the 235 pound mark, Don

Ellensburg, however, displayed
what all the other teams in the

loose a lightning running attack
and a weak defense.

Dodge Trucks Popular

The popularity of the lew 1910
line OF Dodge Job-Rated trucks is
greatly increased by tie wide selec-
ton of sizes and models, enabling
both fleet owners and Independent
operators to select a truck to fit
their job. according to Ed. McDoug-
all. Browning Dodge dealer.
He explained that Dodge has
sounded new note in the truck in
dustry for 1910 with Job-Rated
trucks. which means that each mod
ell in the 1910 Dodge line, the most
complete in the history of the COM
pany, is designed and built to han
die Its maximum capacity-to fit
the hauling job it is intended to do.
This, he said, is a real benefit to
truck owners and has resulted in a
substantial increase in Dodge truck
sales over the same period last year.
Dodge Job-Rated trucks are being
produced in six different capacities,
ranging from one-half to three ton,
including ton Dodge. Diesel truck.
This year marks the introduction uf
the new DodRe-built l!-ton cab
over-engine models. Dodge trucks
are powered by six different engines
each engineered for the truck in
which it is installed. Sixteen gear
ratios are available, and 90 stan
dard chassis and body models are
offered in Il different wheel base
lengths.
To further meet the specific needs
OF truck users, four different clutch.

Ed, three transmissions, eight differ

tions and six combinations of brake

At station a shower of post

found that they carried messages

heat before a crowd unofficially es-
timated at 100000.
With the suspension of the ma

Planes Strength Demonstrated.
Beverly Howard of Charleston, S.

ham put on the most significant
acts of the day when they demon
strated the inherent stability of
"flivver" or light planes. little two
scatter machines with no more than
65-horsepower negines and speeds OF
80 miles an hour.
Howard, who last year landed his
plane safely after a freak accident
had torn some of the fabric from
his wings and buckled part of the
metal internal structure. looped and
executed "wingovers" to show the
strength Of modern lightplane con-
struction.
Granere, committing what seemed
to be all the aeronautical sins in
the book. demonstrated the sta
bility of the little planes which are
being used-and will be used much
more widely in the next few weeks
to train new thousands of citizens
to fly under the Governments air

Leonard Peterson of Benton Harbor,

Clerk Held in London
Withholding Of Details
Protects Government,
Officiuls Assert

Charges against Tyler g. Tent,
Washington-educated clerk in the
American Embassy in London who
has been interned by British au-
thorities, were kept secret yesterday.
Oficials said details Of the case
were withheld to protect the In
terests Of this Government.
American Ambassador Joseph p.
Kennedy co-operated with London
authorities in action that led to
Kent's dismissal from United States,
service and internment under Brit
ish defense regulations, according
to London dispatch that was con-
firmed by the State Department.
Kent, 20, attended St. Albans
School here in l926-29 and George
Washington University in 1928
after earlier college studies at
Princeton University, the Sorbonne
and the University of Madrid. His
mother still resides here.

The plan to spread thin England's

Minister of Health Malcolm Mac
Donald, who pictured cities like
London as the "sprawling target

Espionage RumOred.
Word of the detention OF Tyler

Diplomatic sources outside the
British government commented:
THE Allies have finished making
advances to Italy, The next step
is up to MuSsolini."
Neutral military sources in
London expressed a belief that
Italy,s entrance in the war would
strengthen Germany "only in the
air. and that the massed Allied
fleets in the Mediterranean would
easily control the situation.
Prime Minister Winston Churchill
had an audience with the King.

troops massed on the sands and

Il drove my boat ashore to the
nearest group. I'm licensed to carry
only II passengers. I had three or
four times II in my boat, besides
their equipment. And before I could
say Jack Robinson others came with
their rifles and tin hats and tried
to scramble in.
Cruel to Be Kind"
But we had to tell them to wait
for the return. We had to be cruel
to be kind.
"All the time Jerry was roaring
overhead, dropping his bombs and
machine gun bullets. After putting
the men on warships we dashed back
for more. Each time we returned
men were waiting. some up to their
waists in water We hauled them in,
always loading nearly to the sink
ing point.
ut was really hell over there.
But our boys are all cheerful and
still full of fight and waiting to
have another 60 at Jerry-and so
am l."
He said that on his seventh trip
his motorboat was sunk by the wash
of two British destroyers. But, he
added:
Lucky we were able to wade
ashore AS had lost my boat and
was all in myself, I was put on a
destroyer and landed this morning"
The returning soldiers spoke of
their great admiration for the navy
and its auxiliaries.
Tells of Saving r. A. r. Man.
Said the skipper of one boat. tell
ing of the rescue of a Royal Air
Force man on the way across the
channel:
Il saw him in the water but I
didn't know whether he was a Jerry.
So yelled, Can you speak Engish?'
He shouted back: OF course I can,
you - fool!'
When We went ashore to look for
B. E. F. men the airman came with
us. AS we were passing a bomb
crater I heard whistling sound.
I don't think would have realized
what it was. But the airman pulled
me down into the crater. A second
later a bomb went off right beside
us.
80 Funny, isn't it. that the
man whose life saved should have
saved mine?"
The number of French and Bel
gians brought back with the B. E. F.
could not be determined, but it was
believed they were about 5000. Since
some of the rescue ships were French
it appeared a reasonable presump-
ton that parts of some French de-
tachments had been taken south
ward to ports on the French coast.
The men of the B. E. F., after
being paid, fed to the ears and gwen
leaves wherever possible, soon will
reform to meet the next thrust of
the Germans.
Their commander in chief, Lord
Gort, was called into the presence
OF the King and upon him was
bestowed the highest mark of
chivalry, the Grand Cross of the
Order of the Bath.
