in the makeshift witness box,

now that Turkey has signed the
non-agression pact, and is be-

terms, is the question with which

Russia's consent as clubs, Adolf
Hitler Tuesday was reported to
have demanded that Greece con-

under threat of turning the Greek
peninsula into battle-ground.
The British, having suffered a
severe diplomatic blow in the
new Turkish Bulgarian declara-
ton of non-aggression, issued a
blunt warning of war to Bulgaria
across whose territory Hitler,s
Balkan army would strike to en-
force the ultimatum on Greece.

The all-Ashe county tournament
got in full swing last night, with
the stronger teams coming
through as expected.
In spite of the cold weather
more than $50 spectators filled
the Jefferson gymnasium to see
the Virginia-C Carolina girls de-.
feat Fleetwood 1912 for the first
game of the evening. This was
followed by a close contest be-
tween Riverview and Fleetwood
with the Wildcats emerging vic
torious 1926 over Fleetwood.

through as expected and defeat
ed Elkland, 1911 while the JEFF

The second bracket of play will
continue tonight when the games
will start at six o'clock since there
are four scheduled. In the girls
group, Healing Springs will meet

a slight edge here, but with the
keen rivalry between the two
towns the outcome is a toss up.
