Jonas, Republican candidate for the United States Senate, has broken all political precedents. First politician within the memory of thig correspondent ever to concede his opponent the edge, the able Lin coln county man, here in the interests °f his campaign, frankly told news men: "It’s only sensible to admit that the chances are strongly against me, but ~I do honestly believe that 1 have a go«'d outside chance to beat Boh Rey nolds this fall.” Mr. Jonas was immediately more favorably received by the reporters who put him down as speaking with much more sanity than is customarily found among candidates in talking of their chances for nomination or elec tion. Dressed for reasons behind his be lief that he may win, Jona3 declared there is a rising tide of sentiment among Democrats of North Carolina —a tide which he hopes will fun his way when the voting comes (Continued on Page Two.).

STEWART Central Press Columnist Washington, Sept. 14.—Senor Cicen te Villamin, noted Filipino lawyer and economist, advances the novel pro position that such set-backs as Presi dent Rooseveit may suffer in this fall’s congressonal campaign probably will prove advantageous to the White House tenant in the long run. Senor Villamin’s argument is well worth listening to. « Not only is the Filipino visitor a very acute and highly intelligent ob server; he is a disinterested, non-par tisan one, too. He has no personal interest to serve and no prejudice, as have our local politicians, practically without exception. He also has spent much time in the United States, and knows conditions here thoroughly Why he’s here I’m not certain. My guess is that he’s a kind of unofficial ambassador, representing Filipinos who oppose their island’s divorce from Yankeeland.

Associated Press photographer from Washington, D.

However, I wasn’t the last. One colonel, a sergeant, and an even dozen privates jumped right on top of me.” No one was hurt. President Is .

The chief executive has been in frequent communication with Hull regarding the fast breaking events in Europe. At Washington, meanwhile, secre tary Hull said American consuls in Europe have no special orders to start American travelers back home, but may do so on their own discretion.

Business And Finance Is Ready For Shock Os War New York, Sept. 14. —(AP) —Amer- ican business and finance is prepared to meet the shock of general Euro pean war, in the opinion of leading Wall Street leaders* and government fiscal authorities canvassed today. Cautious comparison of the United States business and financial world of today with that of 1914 led to the un animous opinion of those consulted that this country is much better pre pared in manifold ways to meet and weather that shock than it was 24 years ago. President William McC. Martin, of the New York Stock Exchange, said before the regular opening time there King George Rushes Back Into London London, Sept. 14.

The announcement held communist activities respon sible for the Czechoslovak Ger man crisis and said Japan was prepared to join Germany and Italy, her allies under an anti communist pact, in “fighting a gainst red operations.” The spokesman said, however, it was “premature to answer” the ques tion whether Japan would declare war if Great Britain and France should become involved in conflict with Ger many over the Czechoslovak situation. “If the situation makes its neces sary,” he added, “Japan is ready to fight in every way, with arms, if nec essary.” He said Japan, as a signatory of the November 25, 1936, agreement, pledging cooperation against com munism, would assist both Germany (Continued on Page Three.) PUBLISHED EVERY AFTERNOON EXCEPT SUNDAY 1. A general European war would probably be an immediate shock to the financial and business world, as it was in 1914. 2. The American financial structure is infantly better equipped to brace itself and stand up under that shock than it was in 1914. 3. American business and agricul ture probably would not receive an immediate setback of the severity of that in 1914, and probably would not pocket profits on the scale of 1916 to 1918, because of certain factors. In the end, popular sentiment is expected to determine the effective ness of these elements —a factor com pletely unpredictable today. Adolf Hitler ' Ponders His Next Moves Berlin, Sept. 14. —(AP)—Chan- cellor Adolf Hitler today called Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop to meet him at Munich t» discuss what Germany might do in the face of what Nazis call ed the “new situation” in Czecho slovakia. Germans generally expected Hitler to make some move, if only a public statement, in yiew of his defiant warn ings to Czechoslovakia in Monday night’s speech at Nurnberg, in which he proclaimed his will to protect the Sudeten Germans. The German government .has main tained complete silence so far on new disorders in the Sudeten area, and the Prague government’s em e rgency measures to suppress them.

(AP) —Fighting between Czechoslovak gendarmes and Sudeten Germans armed with machine guns,- rifles and Land grenades at various towns in the Sudeten region near the German frontier today resulted in at least forty deaths. Dispatches to Prague said the Sudi-- tens began their attack from Sudeten territory and finally occupied the gen darme station.

Nearly 2,000 Sudetens joined in the battle near Falkenau, where heavy tanks were usd to aid the police.

The dispatches said bloody fighting was continuing tonight. Th e gendar mes were ordered at first not to fire because of the fear that ‘shots might strike Germans across the border and crate a more serious incident. The gendarmes, therefore, were forced to retire from the station. Battling fiercely to control the Su deten demonstrators, the gendarmes finally replied to the Sudetens’ fire, the dispatch said. Earlier, London reported a British news agency (Reuters) dispatch from Prague reported that Sudeten Ger man party headquarters said "a regu lar battle” was in progress near Falk enau, northwestern .Czechoslovakia, between Sudetens and Czechoslovak troops and police.

They are con stantly keeping me informed for the benefit of my government.”
