The object of this suit is to pro-
cure a decree for a divorce a vim
culo matrimonii by the plaintiff,
Myrtle X. Coulbourne, from the de-
PENDANT, George T. Coulbourne.
The bill recites that the parties
were married on June 16, 1884; that
though the conduct of the plaintiff
has always been kind, affectionate
and above reproach, the defendant
has, without any just cause or reason,
abandoned and deserted the plaintiff,
and has declared his intention to
live with her no longer, and that such
abandonment has continued uninter-
ruptetdly for more than three years,
and is deliberate and final and the
separation of the parties beyond any
reasonable expectation of reconcilia-
ton; that the plaintiff has been a
resident of Worcester County, Mary
land, for more than two years past,
while the defendant is a nonresident
of this County and State, residing in
Sussex County, Delaware; and that
there are no children as issue of said
marriage.
It is, thereupon, ordered by the
Circuit Court for Worcester County,
Maryland, in Equity, this 14th day
of January, 1941, that the plaintiff,
Myrtle K. Coulbuorne, by causing a
copy of this order be inserted in some
weekly newspaper published in Wor-
cester County, Maryland, once in
each of four successive weeks before
the 18th day of February, 1941, give
notice to the said absent defendant,
George II. Coulbourne. of the object
him to be and appear in this court, in
person or by solicitor, on or before
the 4th day of March, 1941, to show
cause, if any he has, why a decree
ought not to be passed as prayed.

Dear Editor:
Word has come to me that few
readers of the article, "The Appeaser
Speaks" which appeared in your pa
per last week, have made the strange
inference that in this piece, I, the
author, seemed to be espousing the
appeaser's point of view. This news
naturally came to me as a tremen-
dous surprise in view of my intense
hatred of Hitler and all that he

And so the appeaser
Struts his way across the scene
Of the worlds great tragedy,

 Foreign quarters said there was no knowledge of any Free French or British forces anywhere near Indo- China and there appeared no evil dence for assertions that the Brit ish, Free French and Chinese were menacing the colony.
 No details of Japanese were available. An official French news agency dispatch from Hanoi, reporting a conference between Gen. Rashiro Sumita, head of a Japanese military mession to Indo- China, and Admiral Jean Decoux, governor general of the colony, said merely that the Japanese had called to ex- press thanks for French medals awarded to the members of his mis- sion.
 Jap Fleet, Army Moves
 Chungking, July 23 = (UP)-Ad- miral Yang Hsuang- -Cheng, chief of the intelligence bureau of the Chi- nese war operations board, said to- day that large Japanese fleet and 30 troop transports had moved Southward following French refusal of Japanese demands for air and naval bases in southern Indo- China.
 Yang said that the fleet consisted of seven largo man o'war, three air. plane carriers and 55 destroyers. It was said to have steamed southward past Kyusr1tl, largest of the southern Japanese islands, yesterday.
 He said that 30 transports escort ed by three warships moved south ward off Hongkong on July 18 after Vichy had resisted Japanese de- mands for air and naval bases at Saigon and at Camranh, vast French naval base near Saigon.
 Yang said he understood the French in 1ndo- China were prepared to resist.
 He said that If the Japanese suc- ceeded in establishing bases in southern Indo- China they would in- wade Thailard (Sian) and British Burma.
 Yang said the Japanese southward movement did not preclude the pos- sibility of a Japanese drive north ward since an invasion of southern Indo- China would requiret few troops and could be accomplished largely by naval operations.
 Japanese activity in the north, he said, would not retquire the with drawal of large numbers of Japa- nese troops from China. During re- cent weeks, Yang said, the Japanese have taken only one division out of China. It was transferred to Japan for reorganization, he said.
