Hitler has for many weeks been

The countrywide blackout will in
clude all homes, cars, business houses
and other establishments and as many
farms in the rural areas as it is
possible to get to cooperate. Each
village in the county should have
its own warning signal, such as a
siren or a bell or a whistle.
Villages having sirens will be
warned by intermittent blasts five
seconds on and three seconds off for
a period of two minutes. When the
period of the blackout is over, the
all-clear signal will be one con-
tinuous blast for two minutes. In
villages not having sirens, bells or
whistles will be used, if same are
available.
Wardens Have Information.
For further information, heads of
families should see or contact some
members of the Community Defense
Corps. Mayors and chairmen of the
town boards, as well as the air raid
wardens, will have the necessary in
formation. The Importance of this
blackout cannot be too strongly
stressed as it is felt by the leaders
of the Defense Corps that air raid
practice is still necessary. This prac-
tice blackout is held as a prelim-
mary to the official blackout which
is set for December Ia.

are strong indications in respon.

day that relations between the

ing rapidly toward a new, and per-
haps decisive, crisis.
The American government. II

Is taking grave view OF Vichy's

the Axis 80 former allied merchant
vessels now in French ports.
Efforts are being made to try
to verify the British economic war
fare ministry's announcement that
Vichy already has started handing
over some of these ships TO the
Axis.
IL the reports are found TO be
true, there Is likely to he a dras-
tic turn for the worse In the pre-
cdriUus relations which have ex.
listed for so long between this
cohntry and the vichy regime In
France.
Ships at Issue
The view prevails in high official
quarters that the handing over to
Germany or Italy now OF the form
er British, Norwegian and and
Greek ships held in French ports
since the fall OF France would
constitute direct and most effec-
tive aid TO the Axis.
II can be said that this govern
ment would regard such action as
exceeding beyond all tolerable
bounds the terms imposed on
France by the 1taio-German srniis'
tice.
III Is recalled that the willing
ness Of the American government
TO continue to maintain diplomatic
relations with Vichy is based on
the condition that the armlstice
terms are not exceeded. and that
