Consuls On Ship Going To Lisbon

WASHINGTON, July - Act ing Secretary of State Sumner Welles disclosed that the United States had ignored a formal Ger man protest on barring of a group of German consuls aboard the naval transport West Point, which sailed recently from New York.
 The transport sailed for Lis bon, Portugal, almost 20 hours late with approximately 450 Ger man and Italian consular officials and their families.
 German Protest Ignored
 It was disclosed earlier that the German government had pro tested because for former consul generals at New York and San Francisco, Dr. Hans Borschers and Captain Fritz Weidemann, had been refused permission to remain in the United States un- til July 31, a fortnight beyond the deadline set for removal of all German and Italian consul ar officials. The two consular of ficials wanted to go to Japan.
 Welles denied by implication that the United States had sys- tematically delayed the depart ure of Japanese ships from Unit ed States ports lately.
 Inquiry from Japan
 The Japanese, rapidly with drawing their merchant marine from American waters since the outbreak of the Russo-German war, made inquiry concerning the delay of three departing ships at Boston, Baltimore, and the Panama Canal.
 Welles said the State Depart ment informed the Japanese that such purely incidental matters as repairs and local circumstances had caused the delays.
 When the transport West Point sailed for sea, her deck bristled with mahine guns and anti-air- craft guns.

Iceland May Get S0,0OO
 U. s. Soldiers

WASHINGTON, July - Ice land, the nations newest defense outpost, appeared likely to claim one of the largest U. s. garrisons overseas, if not the largest. Lat est Army figures fix the total of present overseas garrisons at 118,00O.
 The disposition of these forces was not revealed, but Hawaii is presumably one of the most strongly manned posts with 40,- GOO soldiers in the May maneu- vers.
 Official information of the size of the British force now occupy ing Iceland is a military secret, but seamen who recently touched at the island estimated the force at about 80,000 men or approxi- mately six divisions. Informed opinions of the American garri- son on the barren island indicat- ed that the U. S. force there will be at least of equal strength as the British force. h ;.

Derna has a population of about

The Derna harbor is small and

On Way to Bengasi
BY reaching Derna the British
were about half way to Bengasi.
Military sources indicated there

the advanced mechanical elements

In Self Defense
The days witnesses developed in
general the theme that the United
States was acting in self defense in
aiding Britain, and for it's own pro-
lection should increase that aid.
One, Major General John F.
Organ, New York lawyer and
World war officer, advocated that
the United States enter the wal at
once on the side of Britain, though
he added that the final decision
should be left to the War depart
ment.
THE most effective way to fight
aggression is by offensive action at
the source Organ said at one
point.
Looking ahead, it is conceivable
that in our own interest we should
enter the war now in order to pre-
vent a stalemate," he said.
Dorothy Thompson, the columnist,
told the committee that Germany
intended to eliminate the United
States las a world power" partly
by formenting civil war in this coun-
try as soon as it could be isolated
from Britain.
Bullitt, covering almost every as
pect of the European conflict in his
lengthy testimony, told the COM
mittee in response to questions
that:
The British, who had an "unbe,
lievably small number of guns left
after the evacuation of France,
could break the morale of the Ger
man people by bombing if the
United States gave them enough
planes.
The state Of the public mind in
the United States now offered an
"extraordinary likeness" to that of
France before the German invasion
and France started preparing too
late.
"Absolute Knowledge
He had absolute knowledge" that
the French believed they had so
placed their fleet in ports and had
so instructed their men to sink them
if it became necessary, that none of
the ships would fall into German or
Italian hands.

JOHN H. PAGE

CHAPEL HILL, Jan. 25.-R-
John Hinton Page, 10, University
Of North Carolina sophomore from
Alexandria, Va, died at the uni
versity infirmary today despite
desperate attempts to check the
dread form of pneumonia which
seized him Thursday.
Page was given a number OF
blood transfusions during the vain
battle physicians waged to save
his life. One would-be-donor was
rushed to Chapel Hill from Wash
ington, D. c., in a dramatic air
plane flight Thursday night.
This donor, Mrs. Rose McMullen
of Washington, was said to possess
a rar type of bid emcacious in
fighting the type of pneumonia
from which young Page suffered.
Her blood did not match, but ply
sicians retained a quantity of it
to make a serum for inter-muscu-
lar injection.
Young Page was the son of Thad
Page of Alexandria, secretary to
the Archivist of the United States,
R. D. w. Connor, and formerly
secretary to Senator J.. W. Bailey
of North Carolina. Funeral serv-
ices will be held at Aberdeen,
