KING EMANUELE, ITALY,
ESCAPES BOMBINGS

Rome.-A narrow escape from
British bombs by King Vittorio
Emanuele III of Italy was dis
closed when the little monarch
returned from a nine-day tour OF
air-pounded Sicilian towns.
The king arrived at Villa San
Giovanni, across the Straits OF
Sicily from Messina on the toe OF
the Italian boot, Thursday after
noon just after five British planes
bombed and machine-gunned the
town, injuring nine persons, Fas-
cists said.
They said anti-aircraft fire and
a formation of Italian fighter
planes shot down two Of them and
chased away the other three. just
before the ruler arrived. One OF
the three, pursued, was finally
brought down far out over the
Mediterranean.
The king had been visiting the
places in Sicily which have suf-
fered most from almost constant
Raj raiding. His trip began al
Messina, Sicily, November 26, and
took him to number Of undeslg-
mated cities, villages, air and ma
val bases and military and civil
ian hospitals.

Washington. - With an eye to
lowering war clouds in the Pa

ported Sunday that army engin-
GERS were conquering formidable
obstacles in Alaska to speed new
airfields and other defense out
posts to completion.
Despite temperatures as loW'as
so degrees below zero, made
quate transportation, shortage of
labor and other difficulties work
is being rushed on more than IL
flying fields and larger bases.
In the foggy Aleutian Islands
which extend across the North Pa
cific into Asian waters 10 air
fields are being built on army
selected sights by the civil aero
nautics administration as a part
of the defenses of the navy's new
major base at Dutch Harbor.

Japan has, therefore, undertake

opinions and well understand the
implications to the very life and
safety of our nation.
AS commander-in-chief of the
Army and Navy, I have directed
that all measures be taken for our
defense.
Always will we remember the
character of the onslaught against
us.
No matter how long it may take
us to overcome this premeditated
invasion, the American people in
their righteous might will win
through to absolute victory.

With confidence in our armed

will gain the inevitable triumph
so help us God.

BRITAIN DECLARES WAR
ON POWERS AIDING AXIS

London. - The British quietly
and formally went to war against
Rumania Sunday morning because
they were fighting on Germany's
side against Soviet Russia.
The zero hour, one minute after
midnight Greenwich time, or 1:O1
a. m. London time, passed almost
unnoticed in blacked-out London
Newspapers gave it scant atten-
ton and the Dispatch even criti-
cized the British foreign office for
waiting so long to comply with
the Russian request.

Washington.-The text of Presi-
dent Roosevelt's war message to
congress on Monday at noon is as
follows:
To the congress Of the United
States:
Yesterday, December 7. lola
date which will live in infamy-
the United States of America was
suddenly and deliberately at
tackled by naval and air forces of
the empire of Japan.
The United States was at peace
with that nation and, at the So
licitation of japan. was still in
conversation with its government
and it's emperor looking toward
the maintenance of peace in the
Pacific.
Indeed, one hour after Japan
csc air squadrons had commenced
bombing in Oahu, the japanese
ambassador to the United States
and his colleague delivered to the
secretary of state formal reply
to a recent American message
While this reply stated that il
seemed useless to continue the ex-
listing diplomatic negotiations, il
contained no threat or hint of war
or armed attack.
It will be recorded that the dis
lance of Hawaii from Japan
makes it obvious that the attack
was deliberately planned many
days or even weeks ago. During
the intervening time, the Japan
csc government has deliberately
sought to deceive the United
States by false statements and ex-
pressions of hope for continued
peace.
The attack yesterday on the Ha-
waiian islands has caused severe
damage to American naval and
military forces. Very many Amer
lean lives have been lost. In addi,
ton, American ships have beer
reported torpedoed on the high
seas between San Francisco anc
Honolulu.
Yesterday the Japanese govern.
ment also launched an attack
against Malaga.

ARE BIG HELP TO BRITISH

Cairo. American-built Toma-
hawk fighter planes were respon-
sible for the R. A. F.'s biggest vic
tory over the German air force in
the Libyan desert when two
squadrons shot down II Nazi
dive-bombers, r. A. F. officials
said.
The flaming wrecks fell near
British troops in the battle area
which the Germans had been at
tempting to bomb. One Messer-
schmitt fighter and two Italian
planes were destroyed in the bat
tie while at least 20 other enemy
aircraft were damaged, officials
said.
One Australian flight lieuten-
ant, nicknamed eth Killer,
downed five Germans.

MISS. SHERIFF PAYS
