German Navy Sinks Ships Taking Supplies to
 Besieged Port
(By Associated Press)

Giant walls of flame streaking over the siege-girt port of Tallinn, capital of Estonia, indicated today that the Russians are destroying the city, presumably getting ready for a mass attempt to escape to the sea. German troops are reported to have cut off the city on all sides by land.
 Dispatches from Helskini, 50 miles across the Gulf of Finland, said a glow on the southern horizon above Tallinn began in the night and con- tinued this morning Observers on the Finnish shore also heard the thunder of artillery fire, indicating that Germans siege guns are pound- ing the city.
 operations before Tallinn are proceeding successfully" the Ger mans announced, adding that Nazi warplanes sunk four Soviet trans ports and damaged four other ships in the Finnish Gulf only few days ago.
 The Nazis said they thwarted an attempt to send supplies to the be- leaguered city by the sinking of seven Russian ships, two transports and a destroyer flotilla h d n g through the Gulf of Finland toward Tallinn.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.-As the world unconquered by Hitler shrinks, the diplomatic world ill Washington expands.
 Burrowing into the memories of old timers, I find that there never was a time-not even during World War I-when there were so many foreigners" in Washington. Some embassy staffs have increased a thousand-fold. There are purchas- ing commissions, good neighbor' commissions, special military and naval delegations and attaches, sec retaries and clerks.
 One should start with the Brit ish embassy, purchasing commits sion, etc. but I'm not going to. I'm going to start with the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.

Wartime Army Man of Wesf, Commander of
 Lost Division, Is Dead

NEW YORK, Aug. 27 Major General Robert Alexander, TT war time Commander, died last night in the Veterans Hospital.
 Mai. Gen. Alexander was one of the few living United States Army generals who rose from the ranks in the old regular army.
 At the time of his retirement in 1927-after 40 years with the colors, from infantry private to wartime command of the 77th (New York) Division and it's famed Lost Bat talion'-it was noted there were but two others who had done like wise: James G. Harbord and Preston Brown.
 But Gen. Alexander chose the hard way to a commission be- cause it was the only way for him. He wanted to be an army officer but his mother wanted him to be a lawyer. He did both.
 Prem a child, I always wanted to be in the army" he recalled. My father died when was 10, and I never could get an appointment to West Point.
 My mother wanted me to study law. So after was admitted to the bar, I went into the army in the only way open to meas recruit" 1"
 That was at Omaha, Neb., April F., 1886, as a private in Company G, the 4th Infantry. On the Fourth of July, two years later, he was promoted to sergeant.
 Fought Sioux Indians
 Much active service followed-in the Sioux campaigns of 1890 and 1884, the troubles in Colorado in 1894; the Spanish American War; the Philippine Instruction; Per shing's punitive expedition against Villa, and then the World War. l He was born at Baltimore, Md, October IT, 1863, the son of Judge William Alexander. He studied law ] in an office and was admitted to the bar at Centerville, Md, in 1884 Then, his duty done to his widowed mother, he enlisted.
 He took examinations. at Van couver Barracks, Wash, and at Fortress Monroe, Va, one of the high five enlisted men qualifying for promotion to commissioned rank. He became second lieutenant in the 7th Infantry in 1889 and served seven years before winning bar on his shoulder straps as a first ! lieutenant

TACOMA, Wash, Aug. 27.-Invi- tations are being sent out to some 5000 persons in the Pacific North west inviting them to attend the Northwest Convention of the Public Ownership Leagues of Washington and Oregon, to be held here Sep tember 5.
 Big feature of the convention will be an address by Secretary of the Interior Harold L. Ickes, to be broad cast throughout the nation. MT and Mrs. Ickes are now vacationing in the Olympic National Park.
 When he arrived here last week, Secretary Ickes conferred briefly with Dr. Paul J. Raver, Admins trator of the Bonneville Power Auth ority, regarding public power devel- opments in the northwestern States.
 T am in favor of purchasing all privately owned power projects so the area will be served entirely by publicly owned plants" Ickes said in a statement to tiewsmen. "Why put off something that we intend to do ultimately
 Asked by reporters whether gaso- line rationing on the Pacific Coast is in the offing, Ickes made no di- rect comment.
 The Secretary said he believed Eastern motorists would feel better about conserving on the motor fuel if they knew the westerners were sharing in the same sacrifice. He said he could not predict when gaso- line use in tife West might be cut

Representations Declared Made 10 America, Rus-

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.-Secre- tary of State Cordell Hull made 1t plain today that the United States stands for freedom of the seas' policy in connection with shipments of war supplies to Russia through the Pacific.
 Asked at conference with news men today wh ether the United States will insist on the freedom of the seas" in carrying out shipments to Russia, despite Japanese objec- tions, Secretary Hull replied that until this policy is revoked. it could be assumed that it is in effect.
 Denial Up to Tokyo

 Secretary Hull implied the United States is ready to enforce the right of freedom of the seas"
 Secretary Hull did state, however, that Japanesce Ambassador Admiral Nomura has asked him for an ap- pointment sometime today but there is no immediate information as to Nomura's purpose for the confer ence.

WASHINGTON-This is the story of Frenchman who, during the decade before the war broke, did his best to head off impending dis aSter
 It is also the story of how the U. s. State Department balanced this Frenchman's advice against the advice of an American diplomat in gambling for the great stake of the Weygand army in North Africa. This French African army for one year has been the pawn of desperate diplomatic jockeying. The British wanted it to join them against the Italians in Lbya. The Germans and Italians wanted it to join them against the British in Egypt. And the United States wanted it to guard the approaches to Dakar, possible Nazi jumping off place to South America.
 The two men whose advice count ed most with the United States were Robert Murphy, Counselor of the American Embassy at Vichy, and Alexis Leger, for many years the No. two man permanent Under Secretary in the French Foreign Office.
 Leger came to the United States after the fall of France with exact- ly $500 in his pocket, condemned to death by Vichy. While he was living in garret in New York' The Saturday Evening Post of- fered him $15,O0O, with an intima- ton it would raise the ante to $2O,O0O, for a series of five articles on the inside of France.
 Leger by this time had used up his $500, but he declined. T had been trusted with many confiden-
