"Vigorous peoples fit for life
just follow the route of the as
pirations instead of in contempla
tion that which crumbles and falls
in ruins,” the President asserted.
"It is necessary consequently to
understand the new epoch and re
move the rubbish of dead ideas
and sterile ideas.
"We are crossing, and all hu
manity is passing, an historical
moment of grave repercussions re
sulting from rapid changes in
values.”
Vargas prefaced these remarks,
however, with a declaration that
“We are united by ties of strict
solidarity with all American coun
tries around the ideas, aspirations
and common interest in our de
fense."
Brazil South America’s largest
country, its southern provinces fill

recorded by most observers as the
dost vulnerable country in this
hemisphere to attack from with

of no reason” wily Wilmington
should not be given a food stamp
program.
The distribution plan, in addi
tion to aiding farmers dispose of
surplus crops, boosts'greatly the
income of grocers and food deal
ers in tile communities in which
it operates. Wilmington "ill be
the fourth city in North Caro
lina to have it placed in opera
tion, following Charlotte, Ra
leigh and Greensboro.
Raleigh merchants, it was said,
had additional sales amounting to $7,
400 the first month of the plan's op
eration. And this figure has increas
ed steadily since that time.
The stamps are issued in twro de
nominations, orange and blue. The
blue stamps can only be used for pur
chasing those goods designated by of
ficials as surplus commodities. They
may be used in any food store. The
orange stamps may be used in pur
chasing any' foodstuffs to be taken
off the premises to be eaten. Tobac
co and other such material cannot
be purchased. There will be no sales
tax on the blue stamps, but the
orange will be taxed.
Arrangements for opening an ad
ministrative office and other details
will be made when Washington head
quarters definitely announce that
Wilmington has been selected. This
usually' takes less than a week, the
FSCC men said.

U. S. LINER IS
HALTED BY SUB

were sunk on May 29 by submar
ines.
Dispatches from Berlin claimed
these vessels as victims of Ger
man submarines.
During the first tense moments,
passengers hastily lined up, clam
bering, in their turn, into the life
boats. Some smiled, but others
were grim.
Many women wore only flimsy
nightgowns. Men passengers toss
ed them blankets and coats.
While most of the passengers
knew of the danger which threat
ened them, others at first thought
it to be merely a boat drill. Then
officers with megaphones called
out: “We are now running away
from a submarine.”
DECLINES TO SPECULATE
WASHINGTON, June n_®_The
State Department, in disclosing to
day the dramatic dawn encounter
of the refugee-laden United States
liner Washington and an unidenti
fied submarine, declined to specu
late on the torpedo boat’s nation
ality.
The circumstances, however, led
to a widespread belief in the capi
tal that it was one of Italy’s big
fleet sent out in advance of her
entry into the war.
Officials said it was the first
American passenger vessel stop
ped by a submarine during the
war.
The fact that the liner was stop
ped at all, coupled with its appar
ent difficulty in satisfying the sub
marine as to its identity, strength
ened the belief here that it was
Italian.
the purpose of the Washington s
voyage and its course were des
cribed in advance to Britain,
France and Germany before Italy
entered the war. Italy was notified
yesterday.
But if her large submarine fleet
was sent out before the entry into
the wTar, as assumed here, it was
considered probable that the notice
had not yet reached many submar
ines.
The State Department made
public this graphic exchange o f
messages by blinker lights between
the liner and the submarine:
Submarine: “Stop ship. Ease-to
ship. Torpedo ship.”
Washington “American ship.”
Submarine: “Leave ship. ”
Washington: “American ship.”
Submarine: 10 minutes.”
Washington: “American ship
American ship.”
Submarine: “Thought you were
another ship. Please go on. Go
on.” 4

dumps and bomb dumps and de
stroyed many planes, the British
said. They admitted encountering
anti-aircraft and fighter opposi
tion and losing three planes in
the operation.
“Casualties Slight”
A British war office announcement
said “casualties were slight and lit
tle damage was done” by the eight
Italian raids, between dawn and
noon, on Malta, British naval base
off the tip of Italian Sicily. Two
Italian bombers were declared shot
down by ground defenders.
The South African air force re
ported from Nairobi, Kenya colony,
that it had successfully bombed mili
tary objectives in Italian Moyale, on
the border of Britain’s Kenya colony,
and Italian-occupied Ethiopia.
Meanwhile the British navy pounc
ed on the Italian merchant marine
from Gibraltar to Africa, and Scot
land Yard undertook a roundup of
every one of the 25,000 Italians in
Britain.
aixcenaing acuun in which hu iwh
ians were seized last night amidst
rioting, police tonight ordered every
Italian in Britain to report immedi
ately to police stations.
It was reported here that the Suez
canal has been effectively closed to
Italian shipping by the Allied naval
forces.
With the British fleet clamping
down on Italy’s sea life lines for
supplies and raw materials, more
than 50,000 tons of Italian merchant
shipping was reported in British
hands or scuttled.
Uncounted other Italian ships
sought shleter in neutral ports. Brit
ish guns block the route home
through Gibraltar or Suez.
Clement I. Attlee, lord privy seal
told commons grimly:
“Italy, like Germany, will feel the
blockade."
Hailing President Roosevelt’s as
surance of material aid from the
United States as insuring victory
for the Allies, Atlee told the house
Italy’s entrance in the war "does not
cause us dismay.”
“From across the Atlantic has
come the answer of a great democ
racy” which “virtually inspired the
free peoples of Europe.”
Commons cheered as Atlee said
Roosevelt’s "assurance that the ma
terial resources of his great nation
would be placed -at the disposal of
the Allies makes it inevitable that,
however hard the road, the cause oi
civilization will in the end prevail.

DISCIPLINE URGED
BY DR. FREEMAN

son in what discipline could
achieve.
“Behind the swift drive into Bel
gium and France was more than
gasoline and lubricants and the
most detailed planning of tireless
men,” he said. “The drive would
not have been sustained had there
not been created in an impoverish
ed, half-hungry and disarmed Ger
many a tremendous force which,
for lack of a more specific word,
we must call spiritual.
“Three or four times the world
has seen a similar spirit display
ed. Islam had it—and carried the
banner of the prophet to the gates
of Vienna. For a time, the cru
saders had that spirit. Perhaps it
fired the army of Gustavus Adol
phus. It was in the hearts of those
soldiers of the French revolution
whose creed was epitomized in the
words of one soldier: ’We felt as
if we were forever marching into
the dawn.
That spirit is for Germahy,
“Fundamentally, a sublimation of
the bitter sense of frustration that
followed the defeat of 1918, and a
substitution, no less, for the lost
faith of millions of young Ger
man said. “Germany has made the
mans in Christianity”, Dr. Free
state its god, revenge its evangel
ism, mechanism its weapon and
discipline its supreme duty.
“This, I believe, is one of the
most important trusths of this age.
We may deplore it but we cannot
escape either the reality or the
consequences. It is well enough
for us to talk of combatting the
new religion of the state with 30,
000 airplanes, but be sure of this:
To win the long, long war of ideals
and to secure freedom among men,
we Americans must find the moral
equivalent of the force that has
given Germany her superb discipl
ine.”

ministration, presided over the

Isn’t This Why
You Are Constipated?
What do you eat for breakfast?
Coffee, toast, maybe some eggs?
What do you eat for lunch and
dinner? White bread, meat, pota
toes? It’s little wonder you’re con
stipated. You probably don’t eat
enough "bulk.” And "bulk”
doesn’t mean the amount you
eat. It’s a kind of food that forms
a soft “bulky” mass in the intes
tines and helps a movement. If
this is your trouble, may we sug
gest a crunchy toasted cereal
Kellogg’s All-Bran—for breakfast.
All-Bran is a natural food, not a
medicine-but it’s particularly
rich in “bulk.” Being so, it can
help you not only to get regular
but to keep regular. Eat All-Bran
regularly, and drink plenty of
water. Made by Kellogg’s in Battle
Creek. If your condition is chron
