BERLIN ANNOUNCES BULGARIAN ACTION [s Described as ‘Protection Against British Measures In Southeast Europe’ ggPLlN. March 2.—(2P)—The oc ation of Bulgaria by Nazi troops ' jch began early yesterday was not "fficially disclosed to the German 0tul)1ic until late tonight when the command issued a brief com “unique, calling the move a “protec “ against British measures in southeast Europe.” Tl,e Nazi press throughout the day eioiced over Bulgaria’s joining of L Axis alliance but until the com munique was read over the radio the lv indication of the troop move 0 „t wa9 the publication of brief despatches under a Sofia dateline say ■ ir that ' in order to oppose British Ians to extend the war in the Bal kans aIld t0 Protect BulSarian inter German troops with the ap 6 oval ot the Bulgarian administra have crossed the Bulgarian bor Thc communique was framed in similar language ■•As protection against British measures in southeast Europe, which have become known, units of the German army have marched into Bulgaria since March 2 with the agreement of the Bulgarian admin istration. The troops were cordially -reeted by the Bulgarian public.” ° The German radio in an English language broadcast quoting the high command communique said the Ger n-an troops were welcomed by the Bulgarians in the ‘‘march through Bulgaria.” This was point fd out to an author ized German source and he was ask ed whether that meant the German army was enroute through Bulgaria toward Greece. "Certainly not,” he reported. DARDANELLES ARE CLOSED TO SHIPS WITHOUT PERMITS (Continued From Page One) which Germany has reached through her occupation of Ruma nia. Soviet Russia, which so far has been an enigma show’ing neither approval or disapproval of Ger many’s southward drive, is on the Black Sea. The Dardanelles is the western gate, linking the Aegean Sea and the Sea of Marmara. On the East, the Bosporus joins the Sea of Mar mara and the Black Sea. Turkish territory surrounds both. Thus, German’s Balkan armies have made peaceful penetration into what Turks have called their s-curitv zone and within striking distance of the strategic straits. cough Turkey, dwarfed by her Soviet neighbor, has not comipitted herself irrevocably to any course of act:on. the officially controlled press has said that German pene tration of Bulgaria would be re garded as a cause for war. S BRITISH VESSELS SUNK BY GERMANS (Continued From Page One) St. George’s channel, between the Irish sea and the Atlantic, quickly sank. Three of the ships claimed in the Saturday total were attacked at dusk in two British convoys off the north east coast of Scotland, the German sources said. One long distance pilot reported having sunk a 3,000-ton freighter in the North Atlantic and late reports from tlie seafront added another de stroyed off the coast of northern England. Only three ships were recorded as sunk, however, in the high command communique. But it listed eight others as damaged, some of them so heavily that their loss is prob able.’’ The three merchantmen which the fliers said were destroyed off Scotland had an estimated total tonnage of 22,000 tons. They were in addition to four ships which the Pilots reported seriously damaged. The bombers ranging the North Atlantic, who claimed one ship de stroyed, said they also had damaged a COOO-ton tanker and a 3,000-ton freighter.

Front St. Dial 9100 Lamb Patties Are Tempting Fare . What child or adult could resist these tasty broiled patties, made of ground lamb, wrapped in bacon strips? A salad of tomato sections and cauliflower flowerets accompanies them. Whole wheat muffins are also on the menu. Balanced Menu Takes Care of Health’s Needs EMILY CONKLIN The majority of mothers today give serious consideration to their children’s diets and try to serve meals which include the essential food elements. They are well in formed about the value of milk for its calcium, liver with its iron for good red blood, and meat for high quality protein, the building food, its iron and copper, and its phos phorous which acts with calcium in the formation of bones and teeth. They know how important are vegetables and fruits, raw and cooked, cereals, butter, eggs and other nourishing foods, if children are to grow and keep well. But sometimes there is one prob lem for which there is no solution in the diet charts. That is: “How am I going to persuade my child to eat the foods he needs? We usually think of children as having the keenest of appetites. But mothers know that there are stages along the way when a certain amount of persuasion is needed be fore a little boy or girl will eat the right food in sufficient quantity. Coaxing Appetites When that problem arises, one of the best ways of meeting it is to prepare appetizing food and serve it in tempting fashion. Appe tites can be coaxed when they can not be forced. Usually children like meat, and this tempting flavor can be used to lend taste appeal to foods cooked or served with it. This is one reason why stew has always Miss Conklin Suggests for DINNER Grapefruit Juice Creamed Patties Buttered Peas Tomato and Cauliflower Salad Bran Muffins Cup Custard Milk been a favorite dish on the menu for children. But there are other meat dishes which can be used with as good results in tempting stubborn appe tites and at the same time provid ing wholesome fare. Ground meat is usually relished by youngsters. A Tempting Combination Ground lamb patties, wrapped in bacon slices, broiled until they are well cooked and beautifully brown, served on pineapple slices, make a main dish which is hard to resist. Bran or whole wheat muffins are served with these, as illustrated, and a salad of cooked cauliflower fowerets and uncooked tomatoes, in quarters, and lettuce accompanies the patties. Sprigs of mint add a touch of color to the platter. Creamed potatoes, milk and a custard dessert would com plete a menu which any child would enjoy. Lamb Patties With Pineapple Have ground lamb shaped into patties and wrapped with bacon, fastening the ends of bacon with toothpicks or small skewers. Lamb neck, shank, breast or shoulder are economical cuts to use for grinding. Place the lamb patties on broiler rack so that there is a distance of about three inches be tween the top of the meat 2nd source of the heat. Arrange pine apple slices around the meat. Broil until the patties are browned side down, on pineapple slices. By the time the second side is done, the patties are cooked through and ready to serve. There are other delicious meat dishes which may be used as the main course in a child’s meal and at the same time will be satisfy ing to adults. Beef birds with a well flavored dressing are among these. Beef Birds 2 pounds round steak, cut 1-4 to 1-2 inch thick 2 tablespoons flour 2 tablespoons lard 2 cups bread or cracker crumbs 1 small onion, finely chopped 1-2 cup celerly, chopped 1 egg, slightly beaten Salt and pepper Meat stock to moisten Have round steak cut into in dividuel servings about 2 1-2 by 4 inches in size. Combine bread or cracker crumbs with onion and celery and season with salt and pepper. Moisten with slightly beat en egg and meat stock. Pile a spoonful of bread dressing on each piece of meat, roll and fasten the edges with toothpicks. Dredge with flour, brown in hot lard, add a very small amount of hot water, cover tightly and cook slowly un til done, about one hour. Serve with potatoes baked at the same time, lettuce and tomato salad, and a dessert of stewed fruit and sugar cookies. GERMANY CALLS ON TURKEY TO OFFER WAR MEDIATION (Continued From Page One) membership in the axis three power pact. Turkey is linked with Bulgaria in a two-weeks-old treaty of non aggression and with Britain in a pledge of mutual assistance in the event of an act of “aggression” leading to war in the Mediter ranean The Bulgarian minister to Turkey called on Saracoglu Saturday, in forming him of the Sofia govern ment’s decision. The move was not unexpected | in Ankara where it was regarded generally as an axis attempt to counteract the Eden visit. Although the Yugoslav minister also called on Saracoglu, diplo matic sources exressed belief that Yugoslavia, like Bulgaria a poten tial military highway for a nazi southward drive would maintain the status quo at least for the time being. Saracoglu also received Von Papen in a separate conversation yesterday and observers said Tur key seemed to be keeping an at titude of watchful waiting. CIVIL SERVICE BILL AMENDMENT ASKED (Continued From Page One) v the first opportunities regarding promotional appointments, Morris said following a conference Satur day night with the firemen. Under the proposed amendment, men receiving the promotions would l j placed on six months probation to test their qualifications to hold the new positions. Whether the amendment is offer ed depends on the reaction of Jack Q. LeGrand, the other representative of New Hanover county in the Gen eral Assembly, Morris pointed out. The Wachovia museum, Win ston-Salem, N. C., is said to have the largest collection of local an tiques in America. YUGOSLAV REGENT, GERMAN MINISTER HOLD CONFERENCE (Continued From Page One) question of Yugoslav mobiliza tion in which troops are being sent to the Bulgarian frontier. Von Heeren, they added, men tioned that this “unhappily” is costing Yugoslavia the equivalent of $1,675,000 a day. Then, said these sources, von Heeren “alluded” to the strength of German arms in Hungary, Ru mania and Bulgaria (almost sur rounding Yugoslavia with her Ital ian and German frontiers). The final discussion before the audience terminated was said to have been based on von Heeren’s question of what Yugoslavia’s atti tude would be toward a “formal invitation” to join the Axis. “Although there was no definite answer given by Prince Paul,” said these authoritative sources, “von Heeren was assured that such a development was likely to be favorably ‘considered’ by the Yugoslav government in the near future.” That Germany probably will do | everything possible to speed up Yugoslavia’s “decision” was taken for granted by military observers. They expressed belief that Ger many, should she start to move toward Greece and the Mediter ranean, would go through both Bul garia—where she is now getting installed—and Yugoslavia.

The British reported hundreds of Italians are surrendering daily, with the prisoner total in the Soma liland campaign nearing 10,000. Some Italians were believed to have fled through Sumaliland’s “back door” and apparently are retiring to Addis Ababa, capital of Ethiopia. The RAF said one of its bombers machine-gunned and burned out two Italian planes at Alomata, on the Dessie-Asmara road and then bombed and machine - gunned motor transport vehicles on the air drome and in the vicinity of that Ethiopian town. (The destruction of two planes at Alomata and the attack on motor transport were reported in a brief communique last night from Aden, British protectorate of Aden.) FREIGHTER ARRIVES NEW YORK, March 2.—(fl—'The 5,702-ton freighter Starstone, which the German radio said was sunk by a Nazi bomber west of Ireland last October, arrived today from Glasgow. 5 NORRIS SUPPORTS LEND BILL CHANGE Senator Opposes Use of American Troops Outside Western Hemisphere WASHINGTON, March 2.— UPl — Unexpected support came today from Senator Norris (Ind-Neb), an administration supporter for an amendment to the British aid bill which would put congress on re cord against the use of American troops outside the western hemis phere. Norris told reporters that he thought the bill’s present language could not be interpreted as auth orizing the sending of troops to help Britain or any other country. Nevertheless, he said he was in clined to support an amendment proposed by Senator Ellender (D La) which would state that the measure would not give the Presi dent any power beyond what he now has to employ the army or navy beyond the boundaries of this hemisphere or American posses sions lying outside of it. I tlunk that an amendment ot that kind would allay the fears of a great many people that this is a "war’ bill,” Norris said. “We don’t intend to send our boys across the ocean and I don’t think it would hurt us to say so in this bill. “I don’t want to throw any monkey wrench into the mach inery to operate under the bill, though, and if there is any rea son why it should not be included, I will be open to reason during the debate.” Administration leaders made it plain, however, as the senate pre pared to enter the third week of debate on the measure that they were in no mood to accept the Ellender proposal. Neither,. they said, were ' they willing to take a compromise pro posal being drafted by Senator O’Mahoney (D-Wyo), which would make it necessary for the president to obtain the approval of congress before he could send troops out of this hemisphere. Opponents of the Ellender amend ment, contending its adoption would have a bad psychological ef fect, asserted that it would amount to advance notice to Germany and Japan that the United States would not send an expeditionary force against them under any circum stances. In view of the opposition, El lender told reporters that he was not insisting that his amendment be adopted as presently drawn. He added that if some relatively minor charges were made in two other sections of the bill he would be willing to abandon his proposal. These, he declared, included a provision that would eliminate the possibility that United States citi zens could be sent to Great Brit ain or any other country to “test, inspect, prove, repair, outfit, re condition or otherwise place in good working order” any defense article that was turned over to another government, PROPOSE WATERWAYS MAINTENANCE FUNDS (Continued From Page One) terway connecting Swan Quarter Bay with Deep Bay, $5,000.
