T LONDON, Sept. 18-Noel Coward
has set the nation by the ears with
new song called Don't Let's Be
Beastly to the Germans"
It is cynical, sarcastic and con-
troversial; therefore, it is perfect
Coward. And being perfect Coward,
a lot of people are offended, al
though some consider it brilliant.
Heretofore, there has been at least
some part of his cult devotedly
championing him and his works to
the end, but his new song has
shocked and outraged most of the
torchbearers as we'll as those to
whom the name of the master long
has been anathema.
Sentimentalists Infuriated.
The trouble is that all of them,
the idolaters and the scoffers alike,
think that they are being laughed at.
Sentimentalists and human1-
tarians are as infuriated as the VAN
sittart crowd, which believes that
the German people themselves
share with their leaders respon-
sibility for the war.
Left-wingers and Rightists, serv-
ice men and women and civilians,
writer's and your ordinary radio
listener have given the debonair
playwright composer singer-et al.
such a tongue flashing that he may
be just as well pleased he's in the
Middle East under auspices of the
British Ministry of Information.
Coward wrote the song in week
end respite from his job of super
vising the filming Of his play, This
Happy Breed" He tried out his
piece at a private stage party with
uproarious consequences. Then the
author went on the air with it, and
the fuss began.
BBC Is Jolted.
The sobriety and the studied mod
Grafton of the BIC got jolt when
Mr.. Coward, in his best satirical
manner, counseled in grooming ac-
cents, don't let's be beastly to the

mately won" Listeners gaped when

counsel had made unfair. untimely
and ill-advised" statements regard
ing the public effect of a requested
suspension order, alleged that the
testimony of one of the Government
witnesses was biased on the basis
of the witnesses own testimony and
said that the prosecution was based
on misconception of the OPA en-
forcement policy.
AS evidence that the OPA had
recognized hardships imposed on
dealers last winter he pointed out
that the regulations this year pro-
vide for an overlapping of the de-
livery periods so that dealers will
be able to deliver larger quantities
with fewer trips.
Mr.. Camalier said that in January
and February the company was del
uged by thousands of frantic and
frenzied" residents who came to it
for oil when other dealers were un-
able to deliver at a time when it
was embarrassed by inexperienced
help, lack of help, unfamiliarity with
conditions, the suddenness of ra-
tioning and the enormous overload
placed upon it.

told a general court martial hearing
charges against 1t. Col. Charles G..
White today that a wholesome en-
listment and transfer system existed
during the regime of Col. William T.

Army air base.
Nearly every staff officer at the
field had some friend he wanted in"
Sergt. Collins testified. Most of
them were just about to be drafted. )"
Col. White, executive officer at the
field under Col. Colman, is charged
on Is counts with violating two of
the Articles of War. The charges
include drunkenness and arranging
enlistments and transfers in an "un-
lawful and fraudulent" manner. He
is accused of conspiring with Sergt
Collins and Warrant Officer Fred
Lalone in arranging the transfers
and enlistments.
Earlier this week another court
martial ordered Col. Colman re-
duced to the rank of captain, after

Berlin Bombed Again;
Day Raiders Head
Across Channel
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, Sept. 18.-RAF Mos
quito bombers blasted Berlin for
the third successive night last
night and this morning great
formations of Allied bombers
headed across the southeast
coast toward Dieppe to carry the
new round-the-clock aerial Of
fensive into It's fourth day.
The daylight formations were
preceded by thick formations Of Al
lied fighters streaming ot,t across
the channel.
American Marauders and their
Spitfire escorts, which returned
across the Channel just before noon,
attacked q Nazi airfield at Beau
vaistille in Northern France, it was
announced. ..--.
Last nights attack on the German
capital was referred to by the Berlin
radio as nuisance raid" The
broadcast said the bombers struck
In both Northern and Southern
Germany.
Other Mosquitoes, accompanied by
Whirlwinds, kept up the concen-
trated attack on German transport
| by shooting up locomotives In Brit
tany.
The Air Ministry announced that
no planes were missing from the
night assaults.
The Berlin radio also Issued Q
report, viewed here as extremely
questionable, that American Flying
Fortresses had destroyed the homes
of 10000 persons during Thursdays
daylight raid on Nazi shipping in
the French port of Nantes. It added
that a part of the population Of
Modane, the Southern French Al
pine tunnel terminus bombed by
the Raj Thursday night, had been
evacuated to nearby towns
Nazi shipping wss hard hit in
the raid by Fortresses on Nantes
and La Pallice, France, photo
graphs taken during the latter part
of the raid Thursday disclosed last
night.
A new German destroyer ap-
parently just completed or nearly
completed was sunk and possible
hits were scored on three other
large ships, the photos showed.
The big American bombers con-
centrated on the harbor and sub
marine base installations, but the
German-controlled Paris radio said
the damage extended we'll into the
city of Nantes itself and declared
that the center Of the city was COM
pletely wiped out"
The broadcast said that In three
quarters of an hour 300 bombs
! transferred the city into a heap of
ruins"
The German news agency DNB
in Berlin broadcast last night re-
corded by the Associated Press spoke
OF renewed terror raids" on lie
Creusot, armament center in France,
and at La Rochelle on the west
coast of France where the Nazis
have large airfield. The broad
cast did not specify whether the
raids took place last night or pre-
viously and it was possible that it
referred to the raids by American
FortresSes on La Rochelle Thurs
day. LIE Creusot was heavily bombed
by the Raj on June 10.

said the State would stand by the

George Reese, enforcement attor-

part of OPA regulations governing

clared. THE OPA has avoided the

Coword's Cynical Peace Song

which included such epithets as
swine" and rats" and use of the
word Hun" which the BIC seldom
will permit in its news broadcasts.
Last Stanza Quoted.
The song concluded with this
verse, which is quoted by permission
Of the publishers, Chappell & Co.:
Don't let's be beastly to the Ger
mans,
For you can't deprive a gangster Of
his gun.
Though they've been little naugh-
ty to the Czechs and POLES
and Dutch,
I don't suppose those countries real
~ mind it very much.
Let's be free with them and share
the BBC with them,
We mustn't prevent them basking
in the sun.
Let's soften their defeat again and
build their bloody feet again,
But don't let's be beastly to the
Hun.
The distraught BIC quickly issued
a disclaimer Of responsibility for the
songs expressed sentiments.
Controversy Mounts.
People argued about the song In
saloons, hotel lobbies and in their
homes. They got their disputes into
print, writing letters to newspapers.
One such correspondent, a member
OF the WAAFs, declared eve are
bitterly disgusted and ashamed at
Noel Coward's song. Do you think
the British people will tolerate
this -"
Tom Harrison, radio critic of the
Observer, London Sunday newspa-
per, called the song clever and
witty, but nasty, too, a reductio ad
absurdum of the theme that all
Germans adore war and that those
OF us who distrust a peace OF
vengeance are crazy folk wanting to
Let them feel they're swell again
And bomb us all to hell again."
Anyhow, it is a good guess that
the quarreling will not have subsidized
by the time Mr.. Coward returns
from Africa where he has been en-
tertaining troops in camps, hospitals
and bases.

KANSAS CITY, Sept. 1S.-Morris
Schapiro, millionaire Baltimore
scrapman, was held today to have
a valid claim on the property of the
defunct Kansas City Journal-Post
and entitled to a deed to the prop

The ruling was made in an opin-
ion by Federal Judge Merrill E. Otis
setting aside orders issued by Ref
cree Henry A. Bundschu that Mr..
Schapiro's claim should be subor-
dinated and the foreclosure title be
deemed invalid.
Judge Otis ruled that when Mr..
Schapiro bid in the property at a
foreclosure sale, buying the default
ed bonds of the newspaper, he did
not become a stockholder and hence
owed no f1duciary obligations to the
newspaper company or its creditors.

submitted to the poultrymen their

summaries for the entire number of

With this information, the poul-

REPUBLICANS CHIEFS TO
MEET JANUARY 10 AND II
Continued from FIrst FsEs,

For similar reasons, both parties
have been urged by Defense Trans
portation Director Joseph B. East
man to hold their conventions in
Chicago. Because the Midwest
proved the G. o. P.'s most impor-
tant stronghold in the 1912 cleo
tions and will be a main battle
ground in 1914, the Republicans
more than likely will choose Chi
cagO or some other mid-western
metropolis. The Democrats also are
leaning toward Chicago.
June Or July Meeting FOreseen
Republicans probably will set
their convention for June or July,
as is customary. and thus refuse to
go along with the proposal of DEM
ocratic Chairman Frank c. Walker
to hold late conventions with a
view to shortening the presidential
campaign because of the war.
The Democrats may hold their
nominating meeting as late as Sep
tember. leaving only two months or
less for a campaign, unless, of
course. a candidate other than
President Roosevelt is in sight be-
forehand. In that event, Democratic
leaders feel, IT would take more
time to sell" their nominee to
the people.
