Diplomatic sources said the cam

effort to convince the Bulgarian
government that resistance to ex-
pected German demands for the
right to cross the country to get at
Greece would be more advantageous
to Bulgaria in the long run than
acquiescance, admittedly was started
with little hope of success.
why do We not do something to
make resistance easier for the Bull
garians, who would have to stand,
in the event of resistance, against
far superior forces" the Istanbul
newspaper, Cumhuriyet, demanded.
Turkey, Yugoslavia, Greece and
Bulgaria could mass an army Of
100000 at the first shot" the paper
continued. 1T is not too late for
the Balkans to unite.
Should this force be placed at
strategic points in the Balkans it
would not be easy for an aggressor
to pass through. The Balkans are
neither France nor Poland. The
situation is so clear that it needs
no discussion-we must unite our
defenses in order to save ourselves. i"

More than 100 graduates Of the
University of Wisconsin here last
night joined other Wisconsin groups
throughout the country in celebrat-
ing the founders day of their alma
mater.
Sitting at banquet at the Dodge

by Selective Service Director Clar-
ence NJ Dykstra, M. j. Cleary,
president of the Northwestern Life
Insurance Co., and Philip D. Reed,
chairman of the board of the Gen.
eral Electric Co.
The local alumni recommended
that the university confer an hon.

former Ambassador to Russia and
Belgium.

Secretary Knox's dispute with Mr..
Willkie might merely be an express
sion of the strictly Navy viewpoint
which would give way before prac-
tical solution based on broader de-
fenSe considerations.
They said further that the As con-
verted auXiliarieS might provide the
answer to both Mr.. Wilkes request
and Mr.. Knox's objection to parting
with any more destroyerS.
The auxiliaries required only from
30 to 60 days to convert, they said,
and could be changed back in the
same length of time. Since num-
ber were converted without chang
ing their essential armament, it was
pointed out that they would be vir-
tually ready for use today as convoy
ships-the role in which Britain
probably would employ them.

imperial troops driving into Eritrea
from the north were reported today
to have repulsed strong Italian
counterattacks after occupying posi-
tions controlling an important high
way junction at Elgena, 80 miles
from the Sudanese frontier.
Advices from the front indicated

advancing from the west has en-
countered stiff Italian resistance.
A highway also leads from Elgena

the ultimate objective of the British
offensive in Eritrea.
Strike to Restore Order.
Reports from Libya said British
forces there were striving to restore
order in the countryside, where
natives have killed a number of
italian colonists and pillaged their
homes
British military authorities warned
the native population that property
of Italian colonials must be respect
ed and that looters would be shot.
Approximately 1000 of captured
Bengasi's Italian population of
10000 civilians were said to be still
in residence there in addition to
about 10000 natives.
Little military activity was re-
ported on the Libyan front, though
axis Warplanes were said to have at
tackled Bengasi virtually every night
since its occupation by the British
last Friday. Damage done by the
raiders was described as slight.

Destroyers
Continued From First Page)

NIT to his press conference this
morning that it would seem to be
a logical assumption" AS to the
basic question of whether the de-
stroyers might be delivered, Mr.
Early suggested that White House
reporters might question Secretary
Knox again.
This Government turned over so
old destroyers to Britain several
months ago in exchange for leases
on eight Atlantic Caribbean naval
base sites Considered the most val
liable type of naval vessel for con-
voy duty. destroyers are believed
still to be major requirement of
the British.
Mr.. Early also told his conference
today that he had never heard of the
reported request of President Roose-
welt to Prime Minister Churchill that
British fleet commanders be given
sealed orders to take refuge in
American ports in case of threat
ened British capitulation. He sug-
gested that Secretary Knox might
be questioned on this story also.
Meanwhile the Willkie-Knox dis
pute led some informed persons to
mention the pool of As recently con-
verted auxiliary naval vessels as a
potential source Of further aid to
Britain.
Prior to their conversion, these
auxiliaries were destroyers of the
same World War type as the 50 al
ready traded to Britain, but now, it
was pointed out, the ships tech
nically are no longer destroyers and
hence are not counted as part of
the fleets destroyer strength of 160.
Mr.. KnoX's statement that no
more destroyers could be spared
without depicting our fleet" did
not, strictly speaking, apply to aux
iliaries, these sources noted.
President Roosevelt, instructing
the Maritime Commission to provide
for expeditions and effective
water-borne deliveries of defense
products. requested recommended
tions on taking over additional
tonnage under foreign registry" and
on meeting requests by other
countries for assistance" in acquir-
ing more ships.
Foreign Vessels Tied Up.
Tonnage of foreign registry now
in American ports includes 35
Danish, 27 italian, IA French and 2
German vessels, which have tied up
to escape war on the high seas.
The American Merchant Marine,
counting tankers, ships in interna-
tional trade and domestic trade
vessels, numbers more than 1000.
The President emphasized that
"the successful conduct of the ma
tional defense program requires
that our facilities for ocean tram
sportation be fully co-ordinated'
to assume maximum utilization of
such shipping facilities"
