The British declared the only rea son heavier licks have not been de livered lies in the indisposition of I the Italians to risk a battle. The isolation of Italy’s African colonies continues virtually airtight, the British declared, although the collapse of France modified the sit uation somewhat so that Italy prob ably now ia able to get some sup plies from Spain and French West Africa. The British are protecting their own supply and trade routes by sending a majority of their vessels on the long route around Cape of Good Hope and the Red Sea. Baron de Benoist emphasized there isi no possible way for Germany and Italy to gain control of the Suez Canal “while the British remain masters of the Mediterranean situ ation.” Asked about suggestions by the Egyptian press that Egypt take over administration of the canal, he said “no such suggestion has ever been formally advanced." Control of the canal automatically will revert to Egypt in 1968, at the expiration of the 99-year lease given the founding company.

Willkie de :lared tonight that “a safe, strong md prosperous America” could be iccomplished only by “hard work, !aith in ourselves and sound lead :rship in government.” Although devoted primarily to iarm problems, the text prepared sy the republican presidential rominee also urged a strong na ;ional defense and contended that :he New Deal has been leading the ration on the road to bankruptcy. Solution of the farm problem, he said, does not he “in sudden de risions and trick schemes design ed to catch votes,” but must be evolved step by step from past ex perience. “The insane attack that the New Deal has carried on against busi ness and industry for the last eight years has hurt the farmers,” Will kie said. He added that re-employ ment in industry would create vast new farm markets, and continued: “The quarrel I have with the present administration is that the New Deal does not believe those “foreign and domestic markets can be restored, whereas I do.” Willkie told a trainside crowd in Minnesota that “we have got to get out of this defeatist talk and make America strong and produc tive with jobs at constantly rising wage levels.” He renewed his pro posal for a White House conference of leaders of labor, agriculture and industry. * Republicans For F. R. To Open Headquarters NEW YORK, Oct. 19.—(JP)—A group of republicans supporting President Roosevelt announced to day upon opening headquarters in New York city that they believed the President “a stronger man than Mr. Willkif” on the “para mount issue” of national defense.

If we believed domestic policy to be the sole issue in this election, we would vote for Wen dell L. Willkie. “But we believe that the issue to day is the preservation of Ameri can democracy against the on slaught of a world revolution bent on the enslavement of all man kind. . .” The statement said the President had proved he was “capable of leading the nation in these trying days.” 1 SHIPPING NEWS ARRIVED Gulfking from Texas ports with cargo of gasoline and petroleum products for the Cape Fear Ter minal company.

COLD SNAPS HIT IN MANY AREAS (Continued From P?^e One) upper peninsula had more than an inch and a half of snow while other Michigan cities reported snow turn ing to rain under temperatures in the low 30's. Snow flurries skipped through the northern Atlantic seaboard states, falling in parts of Connecticut, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Maryland. Ohio’s first snow of the season came to the lake region but quickly dis appeared. It was generally fair and season ably cool in the north central states. Iowa and Nebraska gaily report ed: “Indian summer.” At Fort Dix., N. J., two men and two women died and an army chauffeur was critically injured as a passenger car and an army beach wagon crashed head-on in swirling snow. In Philadelphia, Assistant U. S.

The gross population, 21 years of age and over, is 84,178,000, the bureau said. From this figure, it deducted 3,200,000 aliens and 490, 000 District of Columbia residents to arrive at its total of potential voters. Aliens are not permitted to vote and there is no ballot in the District of Columbia, although many of its residents vote in “the states. The bureau said that the numer ical increase in persons 21 and over in the last 10 years was 11, 234,376, compared with a total pop ulation rise of 8,634,835. Declining birth rates and the prolongation of life through medi cal advances, the bureau said, are responsible for the greater increase in the number of persons above voting age. 1 The first cross-country champion ship race in the United States was run under the auspices of the New York Athletic Club in 1883. 4 SUBURBAN BUS SCHEDULE FOR WEEK DAYS EFFECTIVE OCTORER 21, 1940 Lv.

Most people never think of their Kidneys although these vital organs contain about 9 million tiny tubes and .work night and day cleaning and filtering excess acids, poisons and wastes from your blood. Because they never get a real rest it’s easy to see that as you grow older the Kidneys may get tired and slow down. These, excess acids and wastes may accumulate and poison your system because of functional rather than organic or systemic Kidney and Bladder troubles. So If you have to get up nights, or suffer from burning, scanty or frequent pas sages, backaches and groin pains, due to non-organlc and non-systemic Kidney or Bladder weakness, you’ll make no mistake in trying the prescription called Cystex. Over ten million packages of Cystex have been sold in 73 countries and have given such ioyous, happy relief to so many thousands of people that it is how sold under a positive guarantee of money back on return of empty I package unless completely satisfactory to vou. Cystex now costs only 35c at druggists and the guarantee protects you. WAR INTERPRETIVE (Continued From Page One) ion spoils and wresting of Bes arabia back from Rumania are impty gains without assured West ern and Near Eastern trade out ets. Had Russia anticipated German eizure of the Baltic - North Sea ;ateway by invasion of Denmark md Norway as a Nazi war move, he Russo-Nazi non-aggression pact vhich touched off the war prob ibly would never have been sealed. :t eased “two-front” war perils for litler. He is now risking in Ru nania exactly that, but with a con juered continental Europe, little able to exert counter pressure, be rind him. And Hitler and Mussolini are threatening Russia with a Black l Sea duplication of her Baltic plight. She may find herself bottled on both European sea flanks if the Axis push eastward goes through. Russia also has Hitler’s word for it that the still expanding greater reich looks longingly on Russia as well as Egyptian economic flesh pots — the breadbasket in the Ukraine, for example, or oil from the Caspian field. Nazi economic exploitation of Russia to augment income from German industry and technical skill is on the cards, and the Red army knows it. And the Red army in the west is as steeped in the doctrine that Germany is Russia’s r.vch foe as is the army in Siberia in the thesis that it was created to deal wi"tf\ Japan. Army hotheads on either side in Rumania could precipitate inci M. 11 J dents which all the political agility of Hitler and Stalin coul,d not still. When Russian forces entered Po land in September, 1939, neutral onlookers inquired of the first Red army tank group commander they encountered who the Russians had come to fight. , ‘‘The Germans,” was his reply. , He was wrong then. He might not be wrong now about the situ ation in Rumania. Certainly, he , spoke for Red army thought, if not | for Moscow policy, a year ago. 1 FATAL CRASH JACKSONVILLE, Fla., ‘Oct. 19. —iff)—Howard Chesser, 23, of Mon- 1 roe, N.
