Nazis Fear French Subver. sive Activities, Nof Invasion Attempt

VICHY, April 10-The German authorities today notified the popu- lation at Brest to be ready for a proclamation that state of siege exists and that no advance notice of the issuance of the proclama- ton will be given.
 The proclamation, it is said, will be issued because of the existence of elements which might, when the moment appeared favorable. to permit themselves to engage in manifestations that could have un- practicable repercussions."
 The tenor of the German an- nouncement indicates that con- cern is felt over possible subversiye activities among the French popu- lation rather than preparation for meeting a possible invasion attempt of the Allied forces.

Voluntary Registration
 Of Women Coming Up;
 President Dis(|oses Plan

WASHINGTON, April 10-Presi- dent Roosevelt has disclosed that in connection with studies of mob : ilization of man power for war in dustries, the Government is con- sidering the voluntary registration of all women from IS to 65, prob ably within the week.
 The President indicated that some decision has now been reached and that they are now going about with the channeling of man power for war jobs.
 One difficulty in registering wom- en, he asserted in press confer ence, is inherent in the number of persons who will come forward to enroll, creating mechanical diffi- culties. He said that re-marklng the preparation cards alone would be a tremendous job.

Old Aircraft Carrier Hermes Is Torpedoed

 CRUISERS SENT DOWN
Latter Report Is Denied by Admiralty Fight for
 India Keeps On
CBY ASSOCIATED PREssl

Great Britain'S first aircraft car- rier, the 23-year-old Hermes, has been sunk by Japan's unabated eff fort to beat down the sea and air shield against the invasion of In- dia, but the enemy's total claims of victory are too extravagant, the British Admiralty in London says.
 The official British Admiralty's communique admits that Japanese planes, either bombers or torpedo craft, sunk the 10000 ton Hermes off the island of Ceylon, pivot Of the British strength at the tip of India on the western side of the broad Bay of Bengal.
 The Japanese however, claimed even greater successes. The Jap anese communique says that be- sides the Hermes, 9,100 ton cruis- CT of the Birmingham class, and a 7,500 ton cruiser of the Emerald class, were sunk yesterday off Trim komali, British naval station on Ceylon.
 The British Admiralty counters with the Japanese claim that they sunk two cruisers off Trinkomali is known to be quite untrue
