If your canary starts warbling Oft
key, it may be from change OF
diet. Priorities have taken his hemp
seed away. This seed, sold primarily
as bird tonic or pick-me-up, is
now to be used exclusively for grow
ing hemp fiber. Domestic hemp,
used for rope and Irvine, is now
specially valuable because of the
curtailed Asiatic supply.
,, This spring when you step out
with your skimpily clothed husband,
you won't be wearing any flared
skirts or billowy sleeves yourself.

for tribute to dictators? There is

War News Not Good, Australia
Can Be Lost, Curtin Warns
Three Powerful Axis Thrusts Against
Allies Cited by Prime Minister

against over optimism by the United
Nations.
Must Hold Australia.
Mr.. Curtin said a complete set
back for the Allies in the Near East
would gravely affect Australia be-
cause it would give the enemy COM
mand of Suez and the gateway to
India, leaving the Indian Ocean
open for enemy approach to Aus
tralia
1T is vital to the Allied cause that
Japan shall not take Australia" the
Prime Minister told his people.
That viewpoint is now recognized
in places where it is vital that it
should be recognized
The war against Japan can only
be won If Australia is held.
But for a recent merciful de-
liverance, the enemy might be in
Australia. We had deliverance
like Dunkerque."
Mr.. Curtain referred evidently to
the battle of the Coral Sea.
Shipping Losses Cited.
The Prime Minister'S intention to
speak had been announced in the
Melbourne Herald as the result of
the turn OF the war in the North
ern Hemisphere.
Submarine warfare against the
Allies has reached a high intensity
and shipping losses, 1 tell you
bluntly, are beyond our present an
nual replacement capacity Mr.
Curtin said
six Australian warships have
been lost since the war began.
Recently I defled the enemy to
land in force in Australia.
I said that because I was fortified
with the knowledge of blows struck
by America in the Pacific and be-
cause Gen. Macarthur and the Aus
tralian war cabinet had completed
a war program"

MELBOURNE, Australia, June
17.-Prime Minister John Curtin
told Australians somberly today
that the war news was not good,
that Australia can be lost" and
that the fall of this continent
would lay Hawaii and the whole
North American coast open to
japanese attack.
In a radio address appealing for
war loan subscriptions at the rate
of SO, 600 900 day for the remaining
five days of current drive, Mr.
Curtin based his statements on con-
fidential official kilograms.
He declared the Axis was engaged
in three powerful separate thrusts
against the United Nations and that
each was of vital importance to
Australia.
The dynamic operations now pro-
ceeding, said Mr.. Curtin. are the
powerful German onslaught against
Russia, the thrust in Libya and the
sustained and widespread submarine
attacks on Allied shipping.
Australia is irrevocably linked
with the wars in Libya and Rus
sia." he said.
The news from Libya is not good.
Rommel has made gains at great
cost. but nevertheless gains which
are clearly reverses for Our forces.
ut is clear that the struggle in
this theater has reached the critical
stage"
Still Face Invasion.
Of the fighting in Southern Russia,
Mr. Curtin said the fate of the Rus
slams was in the balance and the
fall of Russia would be a crushing
blow to our cause-such a calamity
would strengthen Japan's position
still further in the Pacific and
against China"
Recent Japanese reverses in the
Pacific, he said, were frustrating
from Japans point of view, but far
from decisive.
I'VE still face invasion and the
horrors that would accompany it as
surely as the Russian people expert
ence it today" he asserted.

New Zealand, Prime Minister Peter
Fraser and United States Minister
Patrick j. Hurley issued warnings

four are missing, including two
members of the navy gun crew.
The torpedoings of the Virginia
coast occurred about 80 minutes
apart. The man killed was Rubin
Redwine of Philadelphia, second
assistant engineer aboard one of the
ships.
Soldiers, sailors and coast guards
men cleared the resort beach for a
stretch of 100 yards in front of a
Coast Guard station and held back
the crowds as a surfboat brought
ashore three empty lifeboats and
the body of Redwine, which was
found floating about half mile
from his ship. His shipmates be-
lieved he was hurled overheard by
the explosion of the torpedo.
Body Covered With Oil.
A hush fell over the throng of
bathers and pleasure seekers as
Redwine's body, covered with oil
was removed from the surfboat and
carried to the Coast Guard station.
Redwines shipmates had aban-
doned the ship in three lifeboats
shortly after a single torpedo tore
into their vessels starboard side
forward of the amidship house.
After rowing part of the 6 miles
to shore they we're picked up by a
patrol boat and landed several miles
down the beach.
From the time of the first at
tack, which occurred shortly after
SPIN. Monday, until late that night,
thousands of persons lined the
beach and watched the planes
blimp and surface craft pursue
their grim game of hide and seek
with the enemy raider,
First Engineer A. w. Brown OF
Philadelphia told newsmen in an
interview granted by the Navy that
the ship was armed but that the
gun crew had no opportunity for
a shot at the submarine as it re-
manned submerged throughout the
attack.
Capt. Martin Johansen of Drexel
Park, Pa, and two crewmen re-
boarded their ship to search for
Redwine after a check of the men
in the lifeboats disclosed he was
missing.
Crew Stays on Other Ship.
AS they were en- route 10 shore,
Capt. Brown related, I'VE saw an
other merchant ship torpedoed. The
torpedo hit her at her rudder. It
didn't do much damage but it put
her out of commission. Her crew
remained aboard"
Newsmen were not permitted to
interview crewmen of the second
ship, but her master, Capt. Eric
Robert Blomquist of Severn, Md,
told naval officers he and his crew
did not abandon ship because there
was no damage forward or amid
ships. Major damage consisted of
a broken rudder, smashed fuel lines
and battered pumps. Flooding was
limited to the after peak, where
leakage resulted from shock.
One of the crewmen suffered a
back injury when knocked off his
feet by the force of the torpedo
explosion.
Capt. Blomquist was master OF
a merchant ship which was tor
pedoed of the coast of Africa late
in 1910.
In Castries, st. Lucia, it was an
nounced that the full crew of small
vessel sunk by gunflre from an
enemy submarine has been landed
at the st. Lucia village of Laborie
No details of the sinking were dis
closed.
The American Swedish news ex'
change said today that the Swedish
motorship Kaaparen of 1886 gross
tons, owned by the Transatlantic
Steamship Co, was sunk after 6
collision but its crew was landed
safely at a Canadian port. Nc

AMERICAN RED CROSS

THE Junior Red Cross is the
Il American Red Cross in the
schools of the nation. It is also
the worlds largest youth organi-
cation, with more than $4,000, 900
members in the United States.
The principal duty of the Junior
Red Cross in war time is the max
ing of comfort and recreati0nal
articles for our service men ev-
erywhere. During the past year,
Junior Red Cross members made
more than 100000 such articles,
such as games, recreation room
furniture and writing kits.
The Junior Red Cross has also
taken a very active part in the
making of many essential articles
for Civilian Defense organizations
throughout the nation. These items
included splints, stretchers, and
first aid cabinets.
"Earn, buy, make, giUe," are the four
steps all Junior Red Cross members take
in raising and using the money they get
in their national enrolment driue. They
must earn the money to buy the mate
rials to make the articles to giue to the
hospital, army camp or Civilian Defense
organization.
Junior Red Cross members have
also been very active in salvage
campaigns of all kinds throughout
the nation, contributing more than
half of the salvage gathered by
children of school age throughout
the country.
In addition to furnishing oppor-
tunity to learn by making these
articles for service men and 9th
ers, the Junior Red Cross affords
children of school age basic train
ing in civilian preparedness so that
they may take their places later
on in the volunteer activities of the
Red Cross or the Office of Civilian
Defense.
Approximately half the pupil
population of all elementary and
secondary schools in the nation
were enrolled as members in the
Junior Red Cross campaign just
completed.
