Standard Oil Lists Holdings

By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, June 9.-Germans
own six-tenths of l per cent of the
stock of the Standard Oil Co. of
New Jersey, the company said yes
terday in making public details of
its business interests in Germany
and relations with German business
groups.
OF 27,283,587 shares outstanding,
1853, ,704 were reported under German
ownership, a reduction from the
original holdings of % per cent. 1t
was disclosed that the German
chemical trust, I. G. Farben-Indus-
trie, formerly held so per cent inter-
est in one Standard Oil subsidiary
and 20 per cent in another.
The Standard Oil Co. stated that
when the German trusts interests
were liquidated, soon after the war
began, the German concern was
given exclusive rights to production
and distribution of certain synthetic
products in the world outside the
United States and the French and
British empires.
In addition the Germans were
granted a share of royalties arising
from certain oil-refning processes.

CHICAGO, June Capt E. D. c..
Herne, 81, news commentators for

and a World War commander with
the British Royal Air Force, died
yesterday after a short illness.
Born in London, he had become

until 1927. He was an automotive
engineer until 1885.
Before the outbreak of the World
War, he represented the Rolls Royce

1917, as a captain in the r. A. F., he
was shot down by a German fighter
in France and wounded. He then
was sent to the United States as an
Army flying instructor.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, June 8. London's S
morning newspapers filled their
front pages today with news of the
British advance into Syria and
editorialized that 1t means an end
to British war passivity and be-
ginning of aegressiveness.
Here is action and welcome &C

question is whether we have tar

tration has obtained such a hold
as to become too strong to shake" I"
The Telegraph said, in every
free country the entry of Free
French and British troops into Sy-
ria will be warmly approved. Very
many French people welcome 1t as
the dawn of deliverance from the
slavery of Naziism."

pie. 1t should also clarity the true
attitudes of Marshal Petain, Dar-
Ian and Weygand."
The Times said the forces under
Gen. Sir Henry Maitland Wilson
"can count on warm welcome
from an overwhelming majority of
the Inhabitants of the country into
which they are advancing; in this
sense the operation has rightly
been described as political rather
than military. But with recent pre-
cedents in mind there will be no
temptation to succumb to over
confidence or underestimate the
military aspects of the task"

Womon's Refusal to Bear Arms
Bars Reqoining of Citizenship

An American woman who lost her
citizenship by marrying an alien
must take the oath of allegiance
to the United States and swear to
bear arms in its defense to regain
her citizenship, the Omitted States
Court Of Appeals ruled today.
Rebecca Shelley, a native Ameri-
can who always has lived in the
United States, married a German
alien in August, 1922, and thereby
lost her citizenship. Although she
was willing to take the oath of
allegiance, she expressed herself as
unwilling to bear arms.
The court in an opinion written
by Associate Justice Henry w. Ed
gerton, quoted a Supreme Court
ruling that the oath implied a
promise to bear arms and that a
man or woman who would not make
that promise could not be natural
ized.''
The tribunal pointed out that
Justices Holmes, Brandeis and Stone
joined Chief Justice Hughes In dis
senting in the Macintosh and Bland
cases that laid down the principle
But, the court said today, in view
of the Supreme Court decision a
year ago holding that public school
children could be required to salute

dict that the present Supreme Court

Accordingly, it said it must follow
the Macintosh and Bland cases and

which denied the woman's petition
for naturalization.
She contended her unwillingness
to bear arms was predicated on
pacif1st and religious convictions.

100 Ships in Navy.
Naval units of the Free French

totals approximately 100000 tons.
French sailors have been joining
the de GaulliStS in India, Australia,
Palestine, Bermuda, Singapore and
Trinidad during period of months.
The air arm of the Free French
includes more than 1000 trained
pilots, many of whom participated
in the fighting in Ethiopia and
Libya.
The colonies at New Hebridies
Chad, Gabon, the French Came
rooms, the Middle Congo and points

neither willing nor able to take the
offensive against the British and
Free French, no matter what the
British do in Syria. Competent OBJ
servers also are unable to see how
the Germans can do much toward
supplying these African armies at
present.
In continental France, of course,
the men of Vichy have pistols at
the backs of their heads. They may
be forced to yield to the Axis their
Mediterranean ports, their mer-
chant ships, even the remnants Of
their fleet. In this way the Ger
mans may be able to prolong Vichy
resistance in Syria and facilitate

Feared u. S. Reaction.
Strategically speaking, the British
have done the only thing they could
by invading Syria. 1t is possible to
say now that they would have done
1t long before, but they feared an
unfavorable American reaction, es-
pecially at a time when there was
considerable sentiment In the
United States for sending food to
France. Now. however, the British
believe Vichy's cooperation with
Germany has dispelled much Of that
American sentiment.
1t is certain, too, that the British
homeland, uneasy and querulous
since the Crete disaster, was de-
manding that the Germans be per-
mitted to steal no march in Syria
Even from this distance one can
almost see the thermometer of Brit
ish morale rising today, now that
Gen. Wilson'S troops are on the
march. The British are proud of
Gen. Wilson for the way his Army
of the Nile rolled the Italians back
in Libya last winter, and they did
not lose faith in him when, sub
seQuently, he had to retreat.

The British propects for successful
occupation Of Syria are excellent.
The ultimate reaction of Berlin and
Vichy is what lies in the valley of
uncertainty.
For the first time in this war, the
British have struck with speed and
precision. In the Balkan campaign
the Germans were able to determine
weeks in advance the strength and
disposition of the British expedition
ary force; in France, the British
plan for advancing into Belgium
was almost common knowledge
months in advance.
Preliminary reports of the advance
into Syria show striking British air
superiority; indeed there is as yet
only the slightest evidence of reac-
ton by the German air forces which
have infiltrated the mandate.
There is, moreover, every sign that
| the French Army of the Levant is
doing the ground fighting in the de-
| fense; German technicians may, of
course, be helping at headquarters,
but there appears to be no effective
Nazi ground force in Syria as yet.
Defenders Handicapped.
The French defenders themselves
are handicapped both by lack of
supplies, particularly oil, and by a
lack of fighting fervor. 1t is safe
to say that these 10000 disillusioned
men have little will to engage in a
melancholy struggle with the Free
French, who are advancing with the
British. Also, the British command
shrewdly has sent one column into
the wild Jebel Druze, where dwell
the natives who have given the
French so much trouble in the past
and may be expected to rise against
their governors again.
Nevertheless, the British are not
repeating the mistake of Dakar,
where they went by sea last Septem-
Der with a Free French expedition,
expecting to be welcomed as liberia
tors and unprepared to fight their
way in. This time, Gen. Sir Henry
Maitland Wilson and Gen. Georges

adequate mechanical equipment

the Royal Navy, protected on the
flank by the British island of Cy-
prus, maneuvers in along the Syrian
coast. The attackers have bases
and supplies; they have friendly
Turkey on the north. None of these
advantages were existent at Dakar.
Eventual German reaction of a
military nature is, of course, a GER
tainty. 1t may not come in Syria.
Berlin has laid careful stress on
the Syrian affair as one for France
to handle and thus in Germany a
British occupation of the mandate
will not appear to be a German de-
feat. Hitler is not apt to let the
British rest indefinitely in possession
OF Syria, but, on the other hand, he
may hesitate to risk clear-cut fight
there until he has q land approach
to the Levant: in other words, until
he feels the time Is ripe to march
through Turkey.
