Report of U-boat Convey Attack Is Considered
 Significant Reply

BERLIN, Sept. 12.-The German High Command today countered President Roosevelt's mo trespass" speech of last night with an an nouncement that U-boats recently ,unk at least 9 ships out of Brit lin-bound convoy.
 An authorized Nazi spokesman ater declared:
 "All Roosevelt's contentious are a lie."
 The U-boat attack, perhaps the yreatest single submarine action against sea commerce in history, was taken in many quarters as an elo- quent answer in itself to the Presi- dent.
 A spokesman later asserted. how ever, that the Presidents reference to freedom of the sea reached new peak of hypocrisy" and declared he must bear the responsibility for "all consequences.
 Subs Chase Ships
 There was no application of the High Commands terse account of the submarine attack which has been going on for several days in an unspecified zone in the North Atlantic, but the High Command and Berlin commentators said the convoy was scattered and individual vessels pursued by the underseas raiders.
 Late dispatches disclosed that the convoy was intercepted on it's way from North America to England. The spokesman who gave Germanys first official reaction to President Roosevelt's speech contended that the Presidential order to the Unit ed States Navy to fire on general craft was issued months ago.
 What happens now?' the spokes- man asked. Not MT. Roosevelt, but we, will determine that"

 Shoot Order
tBy Associated Press)

Germany announced, hard on the heels of President Roosavelt's order to shoot at sight in defense of Am erican warships on the approach of erattlesnake" Axis raiders, that Ger man U-boats torpedoes even now are slashing out in the waters of the North Atlantic in one of. the greatest attacks of the war So far 22 ships have been stifk of more than 40 vessels heavily guarded by conveys.
 Hitler's High Command said in a special bulletin this morning that the submarine assault Is proceeding presumably on a convoy bearing American war supplies to Great Bri- tain.
 Early this morning there was no comment from London regarding the purported submarine attack on conveyed ships.
 Action-Not Words
 It is significant that Germany'S timed announcement of the convoy attack came almost in answer to President Roosevelt's warning, ac- cording to correspondents in the Reich, and the Reich is trying to answer the Presidents warning by action instead of words.
 Hardly foreign correspondent in Berlin reached their offices empty handed after the noon conference of German officials with the news men when the Berlin radio in fan fare of trumpets informed the world that convoy sinkings had started in earnest.
 22 Ships Sent Down
 The German communique this morning indicated that the assault on conveyed vessels began at least a day ago and declared that U-boats have sent 22 ships, totaling 134,000 tons to the bottom in the North Atlantic.
 German commentators intimated broadly that Roosevelt's shooting orders will not swerve Germany from the avowed campaign to destroy any ships bearing aid to Great Britain.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.-Presi- dent Franklin D. Roosevelt bluntly warned Germany and Italy last night that their warships from now on would enter American defensive waters tat their own peril
 The President declared in a world wide radio address from the White House that from now on. if Ger man or Italian vessels of war enter the waters, the protection of which is necessary for American defense. they do so at their own peril and orders which I have given as Com mander-in-C Chief of the United States Army and Navy are to carry out that policy at once and sole responsibility rests upon Germany. There will be no shooting unless Germany continues to seek it."
 The Chief Executive of the United States enumerated list of American warships and commercial vessels at- tackled or sunk in recent months and declared that an American battle ship was followed by a submarine in the North American waters last July and the submarine sought to man. euver itself into a position of attack. The periscope was clearly seen. No British or American submarines were within hundreds of miles of this spot at the time so the nation ality of the submarine is clear"

NOW IT'S COTTON ANYWAY

It seems that last year we women bought 43 million dozen pairs of hose. We would have used up 300,- 900 bales of cotton if all those hose, had been cotton.
 Now it looks ike we'll be wear ing the cotton.
 It really doesn't sound so bad to hear Young talk, and to see the samples he has. He shudders at the thought of chiffon hose with @ sports outfit. He thinks women should develop hosiery wardrobes.
 So he has woven fine stripes to wear with tailored suits, delicate meshes for evening dresses, bolder meshes for sports clothes, herring bone weaves to go with herring bone woolens.

WASHINGTON - Former King Carol and his companion, Madame Lupescu, currently domiciled in Mexico City, will not visit Wash ington. They would love to more than anything else. But it's out.
 Authority for this interesting item of social news is Mrs. Evie Robert, beauteous blonde wife of the former secretary of the Democratic Nation al Committee. Evie has good grounds for her information. She got it straight from Carol himself.
 This is the way it happened: Evie and her husband, Chip, were dinner guests of Carol and his famed friend. Eyie, seated next to the former Rumanian monarch, asked him why he didn't come to Washington.
 'The one place want to go more than anywhere on this hemi- sphere" he replied with a sigh, lis the capital of your great country. I have heard so much about it, but, alas, I cannot do it. It is impossible"
 But why? We are hospitable people"
 Tt is this way. Through certain sources an inquiry was made of Mrs. Roosevelt concerning Madame Lupescu. It was asked whether Madame would be received at the White House. The answer from Mrs. Roosevelt was no. Under those circumstances cannot go to Wash ington. Much as I want to see your great capital city, would not no ,rifloi1t Madarna Iinacc,I
