Advance Nazi Units
Arrive in Bulgaria.;
Airports Prepared
Greek-Turkish Border
Reported Secuted by
Ituiiun Patrols
BY the Associated Press.


ANKARA, Turkey, Aug. 20 CDe-
layedD. Foreign diplomatic sources
reported today that advance units
of two German army divisions had
arrived in Bulgaria and that Italian
patrols have been scouting the
Greek Turkish border.
At the same time fresh groups of
German aviators were reported to
have arrived in the Bulgarian capi-
tai OF Sofia during the last few days.
The portent of these reported de-
veiopments opposite the Turkish
frontier was uncertain, but one
competent source said they could
have only two purposes:
l. To take over from the Bull
garians policing duties in occupied
areas in Southeastern Europe.
2. To undertake aggressive action
against Turkey with the object of
opening the Dardanelles to permit
German troops to enter the Black
Sea with supplies for Nazi troops
now fighting in the Ukraine.
Italian Garrisons Increased.
The same sources said italian
garrisons on Greek islands adjacent
to the Dardanelles had been in
creased.
The foreign diplomatic sources also
said they had been receiving reports
for several weeks of extensive prep
aration of airports in Bulgaria, even
though German troops there during
the Greek campaign were removed
northward before the war with Rus
STA began June %.
The German troops now reported
arriving in Bulgaria were described
as fresh and well equipped and OBJ
viously from reserve area rather
than from the Russian front. In
rluded among the advance units were
said to be a number of Elite S. s.
troops.
German supply lines reaching
across Poland deep into the Ukraine
would be greatly relieved by opening
of the Dardanelles to Nazi supply
ships, observers said.
NOW DdTIcu rTOm Str2itS.
Such ships are now prevented
from passing through the straits
under existing treaties.
The Germans already are exper-
fencing some difficulty in supplying
their troops pushing into the Ukraine
because of extended communications
lines, it was said.
Commenting on the possibility
that new German troop arrivals in
Bulgaria might be utilized to relieve
Bulgarian forces now occupying parts
of Serbia and Northern Greece 50
that these might be sent to the Rus
sian front, diplomatic quarters ex-
pressed doubt the Bulgarians would
consent to fight the Russians.

Vichy Denies Reports
OF Attack on Jjbuti

Special Radio to The Star and ChicaEo
Daily News
VICHY, Aug. 2l.-Vichy official
circles today emphatically denied
reports of a British attack on Jibuti,
strategic French Somaliland port
on the Red Sea. A New York broad
cast had referred to such an Incl
dent on the basis of information
purportedly received from Vichy.
A source close to the government,
however, stated that the situation
in Jibuti was unchanged"
Responsible for the erroneous re-
port, it was said here, was a broad
cast from Jibuti yesterday which
obviously intended to inform the
world Of the hardships undergone
by that encircled French colony, re-
ported numerous skirmishes between
French and British troops.
That broadcast also declared q
British gunboat had attacked a
small French supply ship in Jibuti
Harbor Monday and that two other
British warships had entered the
port while land forces had concen-
trated on the Somaliland frontiers
A full-hedged attack on French
Somaliland is a myth, Vichy spokes-
men say.

MILK IN RESERVE

How both dairy farmers and
evaporated milk producers have re-
sponded to the need for stepping
up of production 10 reflected in the
U. 8. Department of Agriculture re-
ports on supplies of evaporated milk
in warehouses. On November /, tot
al stocks 382,605,000 pounds
were the largest ever reported for
any November /, and the fourth
largest for the first Of any month.
Stocks increased by about 4S
million pounds during October. This
is contrary to the usual seasonal
trend. In October 1910 there was a
decrease of % million pounds. The
reports show 20 percent increase
in production, which goes a long
way toward the goal set up for rs
percent boost. The large supplies on
hand are available for any necessary
use, including lend-lease shipments
to Britain.

WOODLOTs YIELD INCOME

The Department of Agriculture
reports that Farm Security Admin
istration borrowers are learning
how to make a profit from unused
farm woodlots in Alabama, Georgia,
Florida, and South Carolina. A re-
cent survey showed that ON the aver
age less than percent of the small
farmers income comes from forest
products. Farm Security believed
that something could be done to i'm
prove this situation.
A specialist was enlisted from the
Forest Service. Working with the
farm management division of the
FSA regional saff, the forester is
planning profitable ways of dispos-
ing of woodland products. The effort
is to increase farm income by 10
percent through the sale of gum,
pulpwood, posts, ties and saw tim
bers, and is proving possible on
many farms.

An agriculture venture of which
little is known has gradually grown
into being in this country in the past
few years. This is the garbage feed
ing of hogs. This industry flourishes
in the more populous cities and near
the larger cities. Reports show that
there are about 1,500,0 900 garbage
fed hogs being marketed yearly in
this country. About half of this
number are fed annually and exclu-
sively on garbage, while the other
half are finished with more or less
grain. While garbage-fed hogs are
not comparable to granted hogs,
they do, when finished make good
pork. A good feeder will feed his
garbage cooked, mixed with some
grain and before the hogs are ready
to market some three weeks, will
finish off on heavy grain ration.
This type of hog will hang up as
solid as the average hog but when
he does not finish on good grain
ration the pork does not set up and
harden and is much disliked by the
dealer.

CIVILIAN DEFENsB

Parents were advised not to talk
too much about war in the presence
of their children but rather to at
tempt to make their children feel
self-sufilcient In statement issued
by the Office Of Civilian Defense to-
day. The statement said:
your children know there is q
war. They will keep cool If you do.
You will keep up their moral best
IL you keep family life going along
as usual. Try not to talk too much
about the war, or listen to too much
war news, especially at meal times.
"The best thing for children is to
have real and useful things to do
that will make them feel that they,
too, are serving. They can help the
Red Cross by knitting afghan
squares, caps and sweaters. They
can sew their own name tags into
their clothing.
"They can get busy collecting pap
er, scrap iron, tin foil and other
needed waste materials. They can
turn out unnecessary lights to save
the electricity. You would be wise
to give each child some small spec
ial duty at home.
This will give the child a real
Ieeiing of responsibility. Let the
child make beds, wash dishes, sweep,
dust, prepare vegetables for cook
ing, cook lunch, or carry ON some
other meal and practical job and do
it regularly. Then help the child to
feel that this is an important contri-
button to defense.
"The most important thing Of all
is to make your children self-suffi-
cient. They should as early as pos
sible be able to feed themselves,
know their names and addresses and
how to get home. Above all, keep the
children busy at real things that
they feel are important. This, more
than anything else, will keep them
free from fear and panic.

HEADQUARTERS THIRD
CORPS AREA
Baltimore, Maryland
DRFNNsE ACTIVTTTEs

In answer to the many inquiries
which have come in to the Head
quarters Third Corps Area about
protection of the cities and defense
activities, Major General Henry C.
Pratt said that his Headquarters
is continually engaged ON this prob
lem in conjunction with the state
and local governments.
Replying to questions about move
ment of troops, General Pratt stated
that there were troop movements re-
Gently within the Corps Area, but
that most of these were merely
transient troops passing through to
their home stations after maneuvers
in the South, which movements had
been planned many months ago, and
had nothing to do with the present
situation.
However, realizing the Importance
of the defense activities and desir-
ing to alleviate the worries of the
populace concerning aerial attack,
the War Department Is taking steps
to make anti-aircraft units available
within the Third Corps Area.
This action Is purely precaution-
airy and should not misinterpreted
or cause any additional apprehen-
sion on the part of the public.

NEWS IN THE World
OF RELIGION
By W. W. Reid

Luzon, the largest of the 1000
islands comprising the Philippine
Archipelago now under attack by
Japan, is predominantly Roman
Catholic i'm religion--dating from the
Spanish conquest 400 years ago.
Protestant missionaries arrived
there first at the close of the Span
ish-American War, and the Indepen-
dent Filipino Church (the Aglipayan
Church) has grown rapidly since
1902 when 1t broke away from the
established Catholic hierarchy. The
Disciples of Christ, Methodists,
United Brethren, Protestant Episco-
pal, Presbyterian and Seventh Day
Adventist churches are the evange-
lical groups with missionaries on
Luzon Island. Evangelical churches
enroll total of 100000 members;
the Independent Filipino Church
about 2,O0O,000; the Roman Cath
Ollie about ~ millions; while there
are large groups of Moslems, Budd-
hists, and Shintoists.
"Sixty-three per cent of the pop
ulation of the United States is out
side the membership of the Christ
ian churches, says Rev. DR.. George
A. Wieland, head of the Episcopal
Church's department of domestic
missions. DR.. Wieland says further
that thirty million American child
rem have no religious background or
instruction. SIS there possibly some
relationship between these figures,
he says, land the fact that our ma
tional crime bill is fifteen billions
per year, 1920 for every man,
woman and child?"
"China's rural life is being 'p1ow
ed up by the war;" says DR.. Frank
w. Price, rural authority of Marking
Theological Seminary. "The Chinese
farmer is the hero at the front and
in the rear. What kind of a rural
China will emerge after this titanic
struggle is one of the many difficult
but fascinating questions which
thoughtful men and women in China
are constantly discussing. Because of
the large number of leaders in the
rural reconstruction movement who
are Christian and because of the in
creasing attention which Christian
institutions and groups are giving to
rural needs and opportunities, the
Christian movement may make its
largest contribution to the new
China in this field.

MAKE 1T "PLAY SAFE" TIME

Early this week schools let out for
the Christmas holidays. This means
that several hundred thousand child
rem will be playing, riding, skating
and walking on or near the streets
and highways of Maryland. This
creates an additional hazard for the
motorists of Maryland, warns Leon
ard e. Kolmer, General Manager of
the Automobile Club of Maryland,
and it is important that they should
recognize the additional precautions
which they must take to avoid acct
dents involving children.
Christmas holidays should be
gay time, a carefree period which
school boys and girls have welcomed
since time immemorial. They should
not, though, be entirely free of care.
They should retain care for their
own safety and the safety of others,
for vacation periods are, in some
ways, dangerous periods. 1t is play
time, but children should cooperate
in making it "play safe" time, by
not playing in the roads, by cross
ing at intersections and obeying
traffic lights.
Am analysis show that the pedes-
trian was responsible for two-thirds
of the accidents in which he was in
vOlved in October in Maryland, while
speed was the cause of approximate
ely As ptr cent of all other types of
highway accidents.
Every motorist should, therefore,
drive as if he expected every pedes-
trian to do the unsafe thing--and be
ready to stop! Drivers should be
especially careful of children when
passing through congested districts,
or whenever group of youngsters
are playing on the sidewalk. Make
1t point to stop whenever you see
a ball roll ON the road, for surely q
child will follow.
Haste at any time makes waste
but with the approach of winter
when the days are shorter, visibility
is poorer and driving is more dan
gerous; it is direct road to trouble.
