Dutch Disturbances
Gained by Germans
By the Associated Press.


AMSTERDAM, June 29-German
and Netherlands authorities restored
order in Amsterdam, the Hague.
Utrecht and HARLEM late tonight
after minor differences between
Dutch National Socialists and Meth
erlanders who wore white carnations
to mark the Goth birthday of Primes
Bernhard, anti-Nazi German con-
sort of Princess Juliana.
Some of the National Socialists
appeared on the streets wearing
black uniforms. Netherlands and
German police calmed the populs-
ton with the aid of the blackout,
which forced the people home.
The custom of displaying the
Dutch flag was dispensed with. Of
ficials recently requested citizens
temporarily to forgo displays since
"our people mourn for what is lost
and manifestations of rejoicing seem
unbecoming."
But there were heavy runs on the
flower shops for the Princes IA

Japanese Army Men
Call European War
Golden Opportunity
Strong Attitude Orders
Sent to All Corps;
Arito Warns Of Sphere
B. the Associated Press.

B, the Associated Press.
TOXIC, June 80 Sunday War
in Europe has presented Japan with
golden opportunity" and she must
take a strong attitude" a group of
leading japanese Army men decided
at conference last night, the news
paper Nichi Nichi said today.
The paper said the conference
followed a broadcast to the empire
yesterday by Foreign Minister Ha-
chiro Arita. who enunciated for
eign policy based on creation of
japanese dominated "Asiatic
sphere"
Instructions relative to the strong
attitude" were sent to all army corps
and were interpreted as orders to
be on the alert for opportunity to
consolidate Japan's position.
Disappointed in Arita Speech.
Observers believe, however, that
the military men were disappointed
in Aritas speech because it advo-
Gated cooperation in the formation
of spheres of influence and also
avoided encouragement for the axis
powers, rather than coming out fiat
ly for a redistribution of the world S
resources as a prelude to peace.
japanese language newspapers re-
ported the military services were
attempting to squelch rumors that
they favored avoidance of friction
with the United States and Great
Britain. According to these papers
the military view is that friction
with these "old influences" Britain
and the United States may become
inevitable through future changes
in the international situation.
Actually, the Arita speech was ar
advance from the previous position
in which Japan had insisted upor
maintenance of the status QUO II

Arita Sees World Spheres.
The Foreign Minister, broadcastins
to the empire, visualiZed the crea.
ton of stabilized spheres through.
out the world between closely re.
lated peoples" as a prelude to per.
manent peace.
No mention was made of "statu:
quo" or previous inferential warn
ings to Western nations to stay away
from colonies in East Asia and tht
| South Seas.
The cause of strife mankind
hitherto has experienced" he said
"lies generally in the failure t.

was declared to have been set

Urges Chamberlain Quit.
A suggestion that Neville Cham
berlain and others responsible fol
past appeasement of Adolf Hitler
should quit the war cabinet to still
rumors of British move for armis-
tice was made yesterday by Lore
Strabolgi, labor leader in the House
of Lords.
In an open letter to British
editors, he declared the mere pres
ence of Mr., Chamberlain, lord presi-
dent of the council and Lord
Halifax, Foreign Minister, in the
government was having an effect
most serious in the two most i'm
portant neutral countries in the
world-the United States of America
and Russia"
The mention of Lord HalifaX's
name along with that of former
Prime Minister Chamberlain ap-
peared significant. 1t was the first
time the Foreign Secretary had beer
so criticized by such a source.
Meanwhile, the first authoritative
estimate of Allied casualties in the
battles for Belgium and France
made by French Gen. Charles de

Pieces of Artillery Will
Be Port Of Equipment
By the Associated Press.

| BY the Associated PresS.
Creation of an Army mechanical
force of great striking power" like
Germany's hard-hitting panzer di-
visions was announced yesterday by
| the War Department.
Acting Secretary Louis johnson
disclosed the order had been given
| to organize an armored corps of
| two divisions on an experimental
basis, to be equipped with some l,400
tanks, 600 artillery pieces and more
than $4,000 automatic and semi
automatic rifles.
Apparent developments in the
character and use of mechanized
power in Europe" Mr. johnson said,
contributed to the decision to create
the force, first of the kind in this
hemisphere.
Tactical Doctrines Revised.
Light and medium tanks and other
armored vehicles hitherto assigned
to the cavalry and infantry will
be concentrated in the new corps
of more. than $4,000 officers and
enlisted men, thus revising Ameri-
can tactical doctrines followed since
the World War.
Other units OF heavy tanks such
as the Army does not yet possess,
are to be organized later, it was
announced.
Brig. Gen. Adna r. Chaffee, pres
ent commander of the Army's sim
| gle existing mechanized force, the
| 7th Cavalry Brigade, was made
commander of the Arinored Corps.
His headquarters will remain at
Fort Knox, KY, and the mechanized
cavalry will be incorporated into
the new corps
| Designated as commander of the
LIST Armored Division was Brig. Gen.
Bruce Magruder, former commander
of infantry tanks. The division s
headquarters will be at Fort Knox.
Brig. Gen. Charles l.. Scott. re-
Gently commander of mechanical
cavalry regiment, was made COM
mander of the Second Armored Di-
vision, with headquarters at Fort
Benning, Ga.
Brett Is Chief of Staff.
1t. Col. Serene E. Brett will be
designated chief of staff of the corps.
He commanded tanks in the World
War Meuse- e-Argonne offensive.
The new mechanical warfare in
strument was made possible by the
$1.762, $4,000 supplemental defense
appropriation which President
Roosevelt signed Thursday, carrying
funds to swell the Army's equip
ment of tanks to more than 5000
Of these, only about 500 are now in
service.
The War Department said the
corps would combine all infantry
tank components except the First
Battalion of the 9th Infantry Regi-
ment at Fort Meade, Md, the
mechanical cavalry components now
at Fort Knox, and the First Combat
Car Squadron now stationed at
Fort Riley. Kans.
Divided into Five Parts.
Each division will be divided into
five parts - command, reconnais-
sance, combat, support and service
echelons. The reconnaissance
echelon will include an air corps
squadron and the combat echelor
will be the main striking force.
The War Department also dis
closed that its special service schools
hitherto reserved for officers, would
be used for intensive training OF
} key soldiers. The infantry schoo
at Fort Benning will teach tank ano
motor mechanics, among other
courses, and the cavalry school al
Fort Riley will give training in COM
bat car mechanics and allied courses
