terms.
She remembered the day she had
first met him. He was sitting on the
grass leaning against one Of the
gateposts of the CaSWell driveway,
and she was driving by the place
as she did almost every day on her
way TO the country club. He got
up as her car approached along the
highway and when she was near
enough he signaled her to stop.
She knew who he was, but had never
spoken to him before.
you're Glare Calridge, aren't
you?" he said The way he said it
made it more an accusation than
a question.
"And you're Roger Caswen." she
replied in the same tone. Can I
give you a lift, or are you just stop
ping cars for the fun of it?'
He looked properly embarrassed,
and he grinned sheepiShly Il am
sorry. really, but II had to talk
to you-alone" He was a thin boy
good-lOoking with clear blue eyes
and short, briStly brown hair. He
wore a loOSe-ftting sweat shirt that
was marked with grease and a baggy
old pair of slacks. He didn't have
his glasses on, but you could still
see the marks on his nose where
they'd rested Glare was mildly sur
priSed that he made such a decent
appearance close up. Shed always
thought Of him as a sour, bOokiSh-
looking person. The fact that he
was top man in his class all through
school and had graduated from the
university with high honors was all
that any one seemed to know about
him. He never mixed with the
crowd at the club, nor with any
other crowd so far as she knew.
Hop in she said. Wen talk
as We drive along. I can't block
the highway.
A Surprise for Clare.
He got in aWkWardly. unable to
conceal his mild astonishment at
her willingness to obige There's
little side road up here a way"
he said thoughtfuly. It's going to
be hard to say what I have to say
would you mind parking there
for few minutes?"
Clare pursed her lips. looked at
him narrowly for a moment, then
grinned. She put the car in gear
and started down the road I've
always wanted to meet one of those
mysterious strangers, she said glib
ly, but I never thought he'd look
like you"
But what he told her took the
glibness out of her tongue and thor
oughly deadened her desire to amuse
herself for a while at his sober eX-
penSe. His father and her mother.
That was what he talked about.
Those were the words that ran over
and over again through her mind
for weeks afterWard His father and
her mother. "Forewarned is fore
armed" he said, unconscious of the
melodramatic sense of the words.
Il want you and your father to know
if he already doesnt-because
then something might be done. 1t
may be better for the two of them
to lose their regulations rather than
for both their families to be broken
up. My mother would take him
back regardless of how he was dis
graced, because she loves him that
deeply. The danger is that they
might decide on divorce and mar
riage afterward, and bring every
thing into the open themselves, in
way that would protect them. It
would be better 1 believe, to bring
the scandal down around their heads
when they are not expecting it; then

they might be glad to crawl back
into the affections of their families.
A Sudden Ending.
That had been on a Monday, and
they'd met again, the same way
each day through Friday. BY then
they were, all unconsciously, closer
friends than either of them had
ever had before. They'd both ad-
mitted to each other later that after
the very first meeting there'd been
an anticipation of the meetings that
was far keener than was warranted
by what they discussed. Already
they were in love, but it was weeks
before they realized it.
On Friday Glare decided that
she'd talk to her father. She knew
he was completely unaware of his
Wife'S detection; it was going to be
hard to tell him. She'd tell him
Saturday evening before she went
to the club dance, when he and his
wife would be left alone at the
house. He'd have Saturday night
and Sunday to think about it, decide
what to do
But she never had to tell Stephen
Calridge. He found out about it at
the same time every one in town
did, just a short time before the
newspapers were on the stands with
the whole story. There'd been q
drinking party on Anthony Cas-
wells yacht, an intimate party for
two, a party for Anthony CasWell
and Diane Calridge, the wife of the
prominent lawyer and businessman,
Stephen Calridge. AS lark and de-
spite the shouted warnings of other
boatmen in the harbor they had
lowered the small speedboat from
the rear deck, clambered into it,
and with Diane driving had raced
out through the sheltered harbor

almost Immediately Clare had a
flashing memory of Roger. That was
the way he always took off, putting
limitless confidence in his motor
because he knew every part Of it
as if it were the palm of his hand
And then there was the stall, the
sickish dip off to the left, the full
rush of power as the throttle came
back, and the feeling of the seat
hard under you for the first time
since leaving the ground.
She didn't realize the direction
they were taking until a few mo-
ments later when she saw almost
directly ahead the familiar outline
of Rogers small landing field; the
white bordered runway and the cor
rugated roof of his shop. Clare
looked back at Hanley questioningly
as he dipped the plane, and she saw
him touch three fingers to his fore
head in a solemn salute.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-09-12

In July, 1941, an American bat tleship in North American wa- ters was followed by a submarine which for a long time sought to maneuver itself into a position of attack. The periscope of the submarine was clearly seen. No British or American submarines were within hundreds of miles of this spot at the time, so the na- tionality of the submarine is clear.
 Seafarer Sunk
 Five days ago a United States Navy ship on patrol picked up three survivors of an American owned ship operating under the flag of our sister Republic of Pan- ama-the s. s. Sessa. On Aug. IT she had been first torpedoed with out warning, and then shelled, near Greenland, while carrying civilian supplies to Iceland. It is feared that the other members of her crew have been drowned. Tn view of the established presence of German submarines in this vicinity, there can be no reason- able doubt as to the identity of the attacker.
 Five days ago another United States merchant ship, the Steel Seafarer. was sunk by German aircraft in the Red Sea two hun dred and twenty miles south of Suez. She was bound for an Egyptian port.
 Four of the vessels sunk or at tackled flew the American flag and were clearly identlfiable. Two of these ships were warships of the American Navy. In the fifth case the vessel sunk clearly car- ried the flag of Panama.
 In the face of all this, we Amer jeans are keeping our feet on the ground. Our type of democratic civilization has outgrown the thought of feeling compelled to fight some other nation by reason of any single piratical attack on one of our ships. We are not be- coming hysterical or losing our

over vast expanse of the Atlan- tic ocean-falls the duty of main- taining the American policy of freedom of the seas-now. That means, very simply and clearly, that our patrolling vessels and planes will protect all merchant ships = not only American ships but ships of any flag-engaged in commerce in our defensive waters. They will protect them from sub- marines: they will protect them from surface raiders.
 This situation is not new. The second President of the United States, John Adams, ordered the United States navy to clean out European privateers and Euro pean ships of war which were infesting the Caribbean and South American waters destroying American commerce.
 The third President of the Unit ed States, Thomas Jefferson, or- dered the United States navy to end the attacks being made upon Amercian ships by the corsairs of the nations of North Africa.
 My obligation as President Is historic; it is clear; 1t is ines capable.
 It is no act of war on our part when we decide to protect the seas which are vital to Amer ican defense. The aggression is not ours. Ours is solely defense.
 But let this warning be clear. From now on, if German or Ital- ian vessels of war enter the wa ters, the protection of which is necessary for American defense, they do so at their own peril.
 The orders which I have given as commander-in-chief to the United States army and navy are to carry out that policy-at once.
 Rests With Germany
 The sole responsibility rests upon Germany. There will be no shooting unless Germany contin- ues to seek it.
 That is my obvious duty in this crisis. That is the clear right of this sovereign nation. That is the only step possible, if we would keep tight the wall of defense which we are pledged to maintain around this western hemisphere.
 I have no illusions about the gravity of this step. I have not taken it hurriedly or lightly. It is the result of months and months of constant thought and

We have sought no shooting war with Hitler. We do not seek it now. But neither do we want peace so much, that we are will ing to pay for it by permitting him to attack our naval and mer- chant ships while they are on legitimate business.

anxiety and prayer. Tn the pro- lection of your nation and mine 1t cannot be avoided.
 The American people have faced other grave crises in their history-with American courage and American resolution. They will do no less today.
 They know the actualities of the attacks upon us. They know the necessities of bold defense against these attacks. They know that the times call for clear heads and fearless hearts.
 And with that inner strength that comes to a free people con- scious of their duty and of the righteousness of what they do, they will-with divine help and guidance stand their ground against this latest assault upon their democracy, their sovereignty and their freedom.
