he is ready to nod, smile, agree, dazzle, juggle, sidestep and cir cumvert. ."
 The Mothers of American Sons do not want their sons regimented. The president declared that con- voys means shooting and shooting means war. Yet though under a solemn pledge to the fathers and mothers of America not to send land, naval or air forces into a foreign war, the president has de- liberately given orders to our naval vessels to shoot on sight.
 If the American people are dragged into this foreign war con- trary to the will of 10000, 900 American citizens, the war should be called by one name-The Roose- welt War.
 It will be case where one man surrounded with a clique yelling for war has violated his solemn promises and dragged the Ameri- can people into a war that is con- trary to all their instincts and legitimate self interest. And after you have read what Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox states, you cannot blame the American people for being on their toes, and es. peciaily the mothers.
 So, once more, in Gods name, wake up before 1t is too late. The way of the peace maker is through thorns and pitfalls but it leads ul- timately to Heaven-to our Leader the Prince of Peace. Thank God. MRS. KATHERINE JOHNSON,
 President, Mothers of American
 Sons.

REJECTED MEN IN
 ARMY DEFENDED
Most of Them Turned Down Here Would Be
 Accepted in Germany

Chicago, Nov. 1S.-(UP)-Most of men rejected by the U. S. army as physically deficient would be ac- cepted by the German army, Dr. Morris Fishbein, editor of Hygeia and of the American Medical Asso- ciation Journal, said today.
 Challenging assertions that Amer lean youth has grown "soft," Fish, bein wrote in Hygeia that men be- ing inducted into the army "are of an exceedingly high grade of physi- cal fitness.
 Moreover the men of military age are in better physical condition now than were the men of similar age in I9l7," he said. "A much more rigid examination and the higher stan- dards have yielded a rejection rate approximately the same as that which prevailed in 19l7."
 Fishbein said increased height of the men indicated that malnutrition Ifs not serious factor" He report ed army rejections for tuberculosis were only one third of the 1917 fig- ure despite improvement in methods of detecting the disease.

SLEPT FIFTEEN
 YEARS, NOW DEAD

Springfield, Mass, Nov. l3. (Up) |-H. William Lord, 67, who for IS years remained in Rip Van Win kle-like sleep from which he walk ened only twice at long-separated periods, died yesterday at his home.
 Victim of no known accident and seemingly in perfect health until he died, Lords eyes closed and his tongue was stilled Oct. 26, 1926. Noted brain specialists examined Lord after he was stricken but none could diagnose the malady which apparently was some strange form of sleeping sickness.
 At his wide's command in French, Lord would eat, drink and smoke. The senses of touch, taste and, to a lesser extent, hearing had re- mained.
 In 10S6 he woke, and remained awake three months before again lapSing into the trance. His last wakefnl spell was ln 1888 when he was more og lass normal tor tb days.

 Flanders said warfare was anevi- table for America but he urged that formal entry be delayed until com- mitments gre obtained from Britain regarding the postwar control of strategic materials.
 He said President Roosevelt had failed to show effective leadership in the present crisis.
 Gov. Robert A. Hurley of Connec- tlcut predicted that public works programming which saved the American way of life from internal destruction in 1883" would prove even more helpful after the present war is over. He added:
 When this war is won we can lose everything we are struggling to defend, If in the transition to peace we slip back to a low national in- come with it's inevitable unemploy- ment, suffering, chaos and loss of freedom"

IDr. Joseph Tiso Claims
 Slovokio Independent A

LINE of the bOundary-disturbing
 effects of the Munich pact was the breaking away of Slovakia, formerly a province of Czechoslo- lvalxia. in March, 1889. Slovakia Iconcluded a treaty with Germany whereby the new country was to have independence and "protec- Itions by Germany for a period of .25 years.
 Dr. Joseph Tiso, president of the new republic, was formerly pre- knier of the Slovak province under khe rule of the central Czech gov- lernTuent at Prague. The central Government claimed he plotted accession and busted him.
 That act brought Tiso support from the German chancellor. IL hwas only a matter of months be- lore pressure was brought to bear bn Prague by the German state department which succeeded in setting up Slovalsia as Q puppet hiate with Tiso as titular head.

MORE PRESSURE
 UPON FINLAND
United States Continues to Urge Films to Make
 Peace With Russia
nr JoMN .. RE1CMEANN

United Press Stan COVFespondentl
 washington, Nov. lS-(uPl-The United states was expected today to renew its diplomatic pressure on Finland to negotiate Q peace with the Soviet Union. Diplomats and officials viewed the task as almost hopeless,
 Secretary of State Cordell Hull spoke emphatlcally on the subject yesterday even before he had re- ceived the Finnish rejection of Q United states proposal that Finland seek peace with the Soviet Union.
 The case, Hull said, is one of is- sueS-llot words, The issue, he add cd, is whether Finland will allow her military forces to serve Germany by cutting U. s, supply lines Co the Soviet or be content with recover ing her lost territory.
 That statement was expected to be Hull's last on the subject for the moment, but 1t was believed that Q series of exploratory talks would be undertaken. both here and in Hell sinki, with the United States as in- termediary, to determine whether there is any possible basis for ces- sation of Russo-Finnish hostilities, Diplomats saw only Q remote hope that a peace could be arranged. At present, they said, Finland Is lTn- mediately subject to Germany, which can exert military and eco- homie as well as diplomatic pressure.
 Another factor operating against success for peace negotiations Is Finlands traditional distrust of the Soviet Union. The Finnish feeling toward Russia occupied Q major part of tho newly delivered note.
 What Hnll Said
 i. That the peace suggestion which he for the first time called an offer-had been authorized by the Soviet Union and had been given Undersecretary of State Sumner Wells by Soviet Ambassador Con- sctantin oumansky. Hitherto the implication had been that the United States itself made the pro- posal ct Britains suggestion.
 2. That if Welles' communica- ton was transmitted to Helsinki by Finnish Minister Hjalmar Procope the Finnish government would have realized that 1t was a peace proposal. (The Finnish legation said the com- munication submitted by Welles was reported to Helsinki the same day).
 8. That German propaganda on the situation was reaching the United States much faster than ur- gent flashes sent to the United States from Helsinki-leaving the inference that Germany was infiu- encing Finnish utteranceS.
 {, That he hoped the full text of the note would not reveal the Fin nish people so irrevocably committed to 6 collaboration which would mean the loss of their liberties and institu- tionS.
 The Fininsh note itself indicated for the first time that the United States had proposed that Finland withdraw its troops to borders ex- isting before the outbreak of 1889 hostilities. Hitherto 1t had been be- lieved that no formal boundaries had been set as limits for the Fin nish advance and that the United States would not object to retention of 8 line farther within Soviet ter- ritory.

with Archibald at Baltimore last

hotly-disputed decision to the same
man in a 15-round bout at Griffith
Stadium It was this split-decision
verdict that was swung by Referee
Benny Leonard's vote which led to
the existing double claim to the
title.
Efforts to rematch the pair in
Washington failed because of an
exhorbitant guarantee demanded for
Archibald by AL WE'LL, his manager.
WE'LL wanted $4,000 The match
in which Archibald lost the title to
Jeffra crossed approximately s12,-

posed to have received $1,000 as his

When Archibald refused to meet
Jeffra here in a return match the
N. B. A., headed by Col. Harvey l..
(Heinie) Miller, ordered his title
vacated and announced it would
recognize the winner of a bout be-
tween Petey Scalzo and Jeffra.
Jeffra declined the bout and Scalzo
was matched with frankie Covelli
at Griffith Stadium. He won by a
technical knockout.
