Joseph H. Sykes, owner of the
lumber yard, estimated his loss at
$780, 900. No estimate of the dam
age to the other buildings was i'm
mediately available, nor was the
cause of the five-alarm fire deter

Then leaping a street fronting the
lumber yard, the blaze damaged the
plants of the King Bedding Co., the
two-story brick mill-work plant of
the c. G. Coolbaugh & Son Co., and
the machine shop of H. Belfield &
Co. Four nearby homes were dam

Firemen aided by 110 pieces Of
equipment brought the flames under
control. The huge glare, visible for

Nazi Ban Reported
On Kosher Meat for
Jews in Holland
Stringent DEGREES Issued
As Punishment for
Alleged Plotting
BY LLOYD LEHRBAS,
Associated Press Stan Writer

Dutch Jews are forbidden to eat
kosher meat as decreed by their re-
ligion, under one of the many anti
Jewish orders promulgated by Nazi
authorities in the conquered Meth
erlands, according to authoritative
reports just received in diplomatic ..
quarters here.
To doubly insure compliance with
the dietary prohibition. the reports
added, the German occupation au-
thorities issued ordinance No. 80
ito prevent tormenting of animals
when slaughtered" That ordinance
was interpreted to prohibit the Jew
ish ritual of slaughtering which is
required to obtain kosher meat.
German authorities have charged
Jews with instigating numerous
anti-Nazi activities, and some of the
DEGREES were alleged to have been
issued to suppress Jewish secret or
ganizations" and punish Jews for
plots against German rule.
Despite the fact that the 10000
Jews in the observation-disclosures
$1,000 German Jewish refugees
have lived there since their an
cestors fed from Spain and Portugal
more than 400 years ago, they were
never accorded full Dutch citizen
ship.
Business "Aryanized.
The comprehensive restrictions on
all Jewish activities decreed by Ar
thur Seyss- -Inquart, reichsminister
for the Netherlands since German
occupation, have now reduced Jews
to the status of persons who are
merely tolerated in the country.
The Nazi authorities have "aryan-
lied" Jewish business in the Meth
erlands by decreeing that Jewish
stores or firms may be sold or
leased only with the consent of the
Reichsminister, but may be sold by
the German administrator placed in
control of all Jewish-owned enter
prises.
Other anti-Jewish measures noted
In the reports provide that:
Jews may not employ Germans or
persons of Aryan blood in their
households.
No Jew may attempt TO enter
university.
No Jew may work in the public
service in any capacity.
No Jew may enter theaters, in.
cluding movie theaters.
Jews are barred from approxi-
mately 90 per cent of the cafes and
restaurants.
Jews are barred from nearly all
public baths.
Jews are prohibited from entering
or living in certain cities and towns.
Radio Ownership Banned.
Jews are not permitted to move
from certain specified communities.
(Non-Jews were withdrawn from
the Waterloo Square district in
Amsterdam February 10. leaving the
area, inhabited by about $4,000
Jews, practically moat-surrounded
Ghetto)
No Jew may own q radio.
Jewish members of stock ex-
changes cannot enter the exchanges.
Jewish musicians are not allowed
to play in orchestras which are SUBJ
sidiZed by the state.
Jewish lawyers. dentists, pharma-
cists, notaries public and translators
must not accept non-Jewish clients
or patients.
All Jews were forced to register
any agricultural lands or fishing
rights they owned, or in which they
had rights, by June 80. and sell all
such property TO non-Jews by
September l.
Many Of the Jews arrested for
alleged anti-Nazi activities or for
violation of any of the numerous
anti-Jewish laws, the report stated,
have been transported to Germany
to work in labor battalions.

A New Northern Outpost

Occupation of Iceland by American armed forces has been generally hailed throughout the nation. There hasn't been to much criticism even from those who are violently opposed to our entering the European war, although the move has been characterized as an indirect act Of warfare. However, most Americans feel that they want the Atlantic Ocean well patrolled and they don't know anyone who can do this better than Uncle Sam himself. As for the Icelanders, themselves, we don't believe they will object to U. s. occupation any more than they did to British.
 The average American idea of Iceland is just about what the name sounds like a land of snow and ice. Actually 1t IS quite different from what it sounds. The temperature there seldom goes below zero and at the most only few degrees. Tn the summer, of course, it doesn't rise to the temperatures we are accustomed 10 ln New England, for example, the highest temperature probably being about 90 degrees. IcelanderS are democratic race of people, quite hardy and Self-sustaining and very progressive. Schooling is con- pulsory among them so you will find your native Icelander very well educated.
 It is an ancient country and is ex- tremely proud of the old age of its form of government which has been generally democratic, although Iceland up until May of this year acknowledged the King of Denmark as the King of Iceland. Its Parliament has been in existence for 1000 years which is something for any civilized land to boast about Americans could find out a lot about these Icelanders whose rocky shores and volcano-pitted uplandS our armed forces will now use as a northern Atlantic base with which to protect ship lanes from the attacks of the axis powers. It would certainly surprise many of us whose knowledge of the land is meagre and most fairy-tale stuff.

C'Est Le Guerre

Next year motorists will be able to point to their new registration plates and sadly blame 1t all on the war. Connecti- cuts use of aluminium for license plates is apparently at an end-temporarlly, we hope. The war is making it's demands on basic metals and alloys; they must be used for defense manufacturing. We're glad to do what little we can, even if 1t does mean that this states very excellent system of dispensing license plates among the hundreds of thousands of car owners may be disrupted for year or two.
 As a matter of fact State Motor Vehicles Commissioner John T. Mccarthy doesn't expect that any hardship will be worked upon the motorists. Steel is now being used instead of aluminium for the plates. What will be used next spring remains to be Seen Officials are wondering Ii they will have to fall back on plastlcs. The Motor Vehicle Department might con- slider seriously continuing every motorists present license plate indefinitely or until 1t has outlived it's usefulness, simply giving him each spring new inserts for the old plates
 The original idea was to use one set of plates five years by changing the year date each March It may be a good many plates can be used even longer than that If so and if the aluminium shortage con- tinues, it might be the best solution to urge motorists to do their utmost to keep their plates in good condition and to see that they are presentable and readable at all times Something should certainly be done to help the Motor Vehicles De- partment weather the existing emergency.

in hands unlikely to oppose our own aims and interests We saw to 1t that it remained that way. Now again control of the sea, present ard future, is being contested on broad scale, with new element entering control of the air above the sea. No longer is there any sea control without control of the air above 1t. The United States now has every reason to believe that 1t has the greatest navy in the world. With the new bases in the Atlantic and Pacific, when they are completed and equipped with air strength, we should be in an ef- fective defensive position against any single nation.
 Unfortunately the world has gone be- yond that, for new technique has sprung up, of international coalitions linked by common governmental ideals as well as interests. A coalition of Germany, Italy, France, Japan, and host of smaller con- quered nations is more than possibility. Against such coalition, no country, not even the United States, can build sea power that will guarantee security. That is why such a coalition must not be allowed to develop And that is why the "after-the-war" problem must include some sort of solution providing that the seas, common property of all the peoples of the world, must be free
