"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 ed with Germans and Italians, is recorded by most observers as the dost vulnerable country in this hemisphere to attack from with es or disorder within. 3 Attending Meet George R.

FOOD STAMP PLAN EXPECTED TO BE ESTABLISHED HERE (Continued from Page One) 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.

Nearly 2,000 registrations I are expected. Work began today for ■ students at the university’s marine ! laboratory at Beaufort. U. S. LINER IS HALTED BY SUB (Continued from Page One) 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 BRITAIN PLANES BOMB COLONIES (Continued from Page One) 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. JAPANESE TROOPS MOVE INTO ICHANG (Continued from Page One) ported greatly aided by hundreds of bombing planes which took the place of artillery in smashing the Chinese lines in imitation of Ger i man tactics in France. Dispatches said 3,500 Chinese were killed in fighting for Ichang Sunday and Monday and 800 sun ^rendered. t 4 Give Concert Here Thursday Night ^ n The concert class of the Odd Fellows home in Goldsboro will play t its annual visit to Wilmington Thursday night at 7:30 o’clock in the v Odd Fellows Hall.

Harding, 72, re tired superior court judge, died to day. He has been inactive the last two years because of ill health. DISCIPLINE URGED BY DR. FREEMAN (Continued from Page One) 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.” Dr. R. B. House dean of ad ministration, presided over the graduating exercises and present ed Bennett H. Hunter, president of the senior class, who spoke for the raduates. President Frank P. Graham gave the graduates his farewell message, and Governor Clyde R. Hoey presented the diplomas. Honorary degrees were confer red on Dr. William' J. Battle of the Classics department of the University of Texas; Dr. John A. Ferrell of the Rockerfeller Foun dation, New York City; and Bishop J. Kenneth Pfohl. The graduating exercies were held in Kenan stadium at sun set. 3 ADVERTISEMENT f ^ 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 ic, it is wise to consult a physician. V- A \IR RAID ALARM ' STAGED IN ROME , i (Continued from Page One) neet a clash along the French i border., Count Ciano left to take com mand of a bomber squadron. The absence of military informa tion created the impression the first action might be naval, or an air thrust against ^Tench-owned Cor- • sica or Malta, British naval base. Authoritative sources said fascist troops, naval and air forces “un doubtedly" were engaging the Al- 1 lies. They denied reports of an in vasion of France before the mid night zero-hour last night but said they were lacking information whether French territory had been entered since then. (First reports that Italy had established her own, contraband control came from Athens, where a Greek shipping company said two of its ships were taken to Sicily for examination. (Commercial cables announced in New York its undersea circuits with Italy had been interrupted, but could give no reason.) Badoglio Appionted Premier Mussolini appointed Mar shal Pietro Badoglio, "Italy's Hin denburg,” chief of the general staff. At 70. the stiff-backed warrior of the old school is entering his sixth campaign. Marshal Rodolfo Graziani, 57 year-old army veteran who won his rank of marshal and viceroy of Ethiopia after the conquest of Ad dis Ababa, remains chief of the army. Direction of the navy went to Admiral Domenico Cavagnari 64, 1 lolder of the grand cross of the1 lerman ragle awarded by Adolf litler for coordinating Italian-Ger nan naval war plans. A 48-year-old veteran of 25 years lying service, General Francisco h'icolo was made chief of aviation, t World war flier, he will report lirectly to Mussolini, who holds the ivaiation ministry portfolio. The cabinet, presided over by II Duce, geared Italy's economy to a wartime pitch by approving war ax measures and other decrees •emulating civilian discipline — in cluding death for all offenses form erly punishable by life imprison nent. Taxes, in some cases representing increases of 100 per cent, were! levied rents, prices and salaries were fixed to suppress speculation, assure stability and guarantee the army's purchasing power. GERMANY POUNDS AGAINST FRENCH ALONG THE MARNE (Continued from Page One) circle, and authoritative Nazi spokes men claimed today that no French line, as such, remains in existence. Looking beyond the immediate ob jective of Paris, the German aim was stated today as complete destruction of the French army, in conjunction with the Italian forces from the south and east. In the northwest, informed quar ters declared the lower Seine river has been crossed “at various places." It was pointed out that the Seine valley is a natural gateway to Paris, Tom which the government has witn* drawn Although the daily official wai communiques have been secretive concerning details of the German advance, the development of the en circlement becomes clear. As an illustration, military quar ters compared the situation in France with the decisive mopping up around Warsaw in the Polish cam paign. The authoritative Dienst A u ■ Deutschland presented this picturs of what it described as a semi-cir cular front around the French capital: “The right German wing, which consists of strong German tanks and motorized columns, already controls the lower Seine. From this position west of Paris a great troop front spreads to the north of the I lench capital where the Oise already has been ^crossed in the northeast and east with German troops already op erating in the Marne area.” Every gross act of sin is much the same thing to the conscience that a great blow- is to the head; it stuns and bereaves it of all use of its - mses for a time.—South.
