Frenchmen Must Keep Silence in Public
Or Risk Imprisonment From Two Sources

Porter, an American lawyer in Paris,
interceded in her behalf and per-
suaded the skeptical French de-
tectives to believe there was nothing
seditious in the documents.
These examples are not excep-
tions; they are common instances of
spying and denunciation by both
French and Germans that are be-
coming more frequent throughout
both the occupied and unoccupied
territories. The French suffer most
from the system because there are
more of them: but foreigners run
equal risks.
In September, a French official
told me the Sante Prison, where all
so-called political prisoners are
taken for interrogation, was crowded
beyond capacity. Built to house ap-
proximately 900 prisoners, the roster
on that particular day, he said,
totaled 1884.
Evening star., 1941-11-18

Prisoners were jammed three and
four into cells built to accommodate
at most two. In the women's sec
ton, cots and mattresses were piled
along the corridors. There was no
heat and no hot water, the daily
ration consisted of two bowls Of
soup and two pieces of bread, for
which the prisoners were required
to give their regular food ration
tickets.
A new complication appeared in
Paris in September. The French
began to follow the example of the
Germans, in their own country, and
protest against Americans speaking
English on the streets and in public
places. There was no official order
but policemen. subway guards, bar

Friday, June 12. 1892.

The Chandler mine is now shipping
about 200 cars per day. Jos. Sellwood
says he is going to break the record
of the Chandler this season by ship
ping 100000 tons of iron ore.
The right of way for the Duluth
Port Arthur & Western is now cleared
to within three miles of the narrows
of Gunf1int lake. 1t is understood Mr.
Poison of Minneapolis has the con-
tract for clearing and grading six
miles of the road on this side of the
boundary.
Surfacing and grading at the Zenith
mine is rapidly going forward. The
work will probably be completed the
latter part of July when the mine will
ship the first consignment of ore.
The city council at its meeting on
Tuesday approved the appointment of
Chief Dan Garrison as street COM
missioner and fixed his compensation
at SIS per month. Ordinance No. Is
relating to peddlers and transient
traders was given its second reading

Reaction to President Roosevelts
fireside chat of May 9th is amazingly
varied in the Interpretation placed
upon what he said.
Members of Congress praised the
speech as clear and fortnight dec
laration of United States policy and
denounced it as more "Rooseveltian
evasion" Advocates of a stronger
policy against Nazi aggression general
ly felt the President had made a
vigorous statement of policy, while
opponents of the present policy of aid
to Britain were divided, some hailing
the talk as step away from active
intervention in the war and others
criticizing as a long step toward war.
Senators Wheeler and Nye took the
latter attitude, cracking the talk as
"too warlike," while Senator Gillette
of Iowa, who has been leading OPP
ponent of the present foreign policy,
praised the speech glowingly. Like
wise, General Robert E. Wood, chair
man of the America First Committee,
termed the speech "the least warlike
of any of his utteranceS since election -
Personally, I cannot understand how
anyone could have thought the speech
evasive. 1t seemed to me the clearest
and most fortnight statement of the
objectives of our foreign policy the
President or anyone in his Admins
tration has yet made.
The President declared clearly this
nations determination to:
/. Take whatever steps are neces-
sary to assure delivery of aid to Eng
land.
2. Resist, with force, if necessary
any attempt at Nazi occupation of
bases threatening the Americas, in
Guiding Dakar, the Azores, Cape
Verde Islands, Iceland and Greenland
8. Preserve freedom of the seas and
resist, with force if necessary, any
Nazi attempt to dominate the oceans
of the world.
While the President questioned
whether conveys are the answer to the
present aid, surface and underestimate
attacks on shipping, he did state his
position on the convoy issue very
clearly when he said: Gall additional
steps necessary to deliver the goods
Ito Brittany will be taken"
I was very interested in the way the
President handled the question Of
when he would consider the Americas
to be attacked. His view is that the
attack begins with the first step toward
acquisition of any bases from which
an attack might be launched on either
North or South America, a position
which believe is fully justified by the
events of the war thus far.
Perhaps this question is the whole
nub of the controversy over our pres

this city, died Tuesday morning at a
Virginia hospital following a heart
condition which necessitated his leav-

late SOS. He came to Ely soon after,
walking from Tower here. He was
one of the first settlers of this city.
During his residence in Ely he has
been active in the civic life of the
city and has held several positions of
trust. Many of the old timers will
remember John Hanson as a good
neighbor, and good citizen, which repu-
tation he maintained to the end.
Survivors include four sons, Andrew
Albert and WAR in Virginia, Fred in
Ely; two daughters, Mrs. Harry Ken
dali, Virginia, and Mrs. Grant Waits,
Duluth, and step-daughter, Mrs.

extra praise.
This being the initial band festival

that those in charge of the meet at
