Max well, ill at his home here, was de scribed tonight at “unchanged and still criticfll Earlier to^y. Maxwell’s physician, Dr. W. B. Dewar, had said he was “definitely a shade better, but I would say still in a critical condition.” Maxwell suffered a stroke of par alysis during the last week of the campaign before the Democratic pri mary May 25ih, in which he was an unsuccessful gubernatorial candidate.' The nature of his illnc^ was not revved until after the primary. “THE LOST COLONir OPENS JUNE 29TH Manteo, June 5.—Paul Green’s “The Lost Colony,” historic outdoor drama whirii originally was written and produced as a part of a six- werfes celeblAtion ot the 350tti anni- versgtgr of the hirth of Ylrgkiia Dare, will open its fourth season at For; Raleigh amphitheatre June 29th. National '^Guard Vlay Mobilize Washington, June 3.—The presi dent’s special message demand for authority to call put to national guard may result in semi-permanent mobilization of more than 200,000 American troops through the sum mer and fall months — possibly through to election. It will be the greatest demonstration of its kind since World war days—^the largest n peace time. The first army of the national guard; which consists of the New England and Middle Atlantic units, is scheduled to hold maneuvers in the Plattsburg area on August 4— perhaps earlier under to Presidential plan. They ordinarily last two weeks, 3ut private information among guard officers here is that toy may be kept in camp indefinitely for special training in coast defense work. With regular army units attached, the total force will exceed 125,000 men. At the same time it is imderstood that the 75,000 regulars now “shambat- tling” in West LPuisiana and East Texas will remain tore. Should other national guardsmen be ordered out in • accord with FDR’s. scheme, the number of soldiers in the field might reach 400,000. This fairly general mobilization is bound to have political repercussions, coming in a Presidential election ye&r. Like many other moves on the na tional battlefield, it wUl tend to in tensify and inflame the feeling that Der Fuehrer’s mechanized battalions lie just over the hill..

ChurchiU tonight praised the “brav ery shown by the merchant navy” n turning to Dunkerque withdrawal from disaster into triumph.” “I- wish to express my admiration of to outstanding skill and brav^ shown by to three services and th merchant navy in the evacuation of to British Expeditionary forced from northern France,” he said. 'So difficult an operation was only made possible by brilliant leadership and an indomitable spirit among aU ranks of to force. The measures of its success—greater than we had dared to hope for—^was due to to unfailing support of to Royal Air force, and, in the final stages, the tirelessj^ort of naval units of every kind. “While -we acclaim this feat, in which our French allies too have played so noble a part, we think with heartfelt sympathy of to loss and sufferings of those brave men whose self-sacrifice has turned dis aster into triumph.” London, June 3.—^King George VI I a message to Prime Minister Local Red Cross Urgently Asks For War Relief Funds The Hoke county chapter of Rie American Red Cross has as its goal for immediate war relief to sum of $800, Dr. R.

In view of this shameful lack of voluntary contributions to a cause so worthy to Hoke county chapter has ap pointed committees over the county and will stage a drive soliciting con tributions in order to raise the coun-j* ty’s quota of $800.

Reports from the war-torn coun- • tries of Europe continue to paint an appalling picture of want and need am(»ig the^suffering, hungry rrfugeea who have lost homes, loved ones, and all possessions in to catastrojdie. As the intensity of the war daily adds thousands to the rolls of those homeless and needy, relief organiza- ' tions in thi9 country are accelerating their arork to keep abreast of to need for aid. Announcement of establishment of, a super-relief agency in France to . handle its work for refugees and war- wounded was made by the American " Red Cross. The Red Cross has an.. nounced that its war relief fund goal has been raised from $10,000,000 to $20,000,000 and urges every persem in this country able to gi^ tO donate to help the unfortunate peoj^ of Europe with to thou^t that in some not-too-far-away day in this country may need to aante sort of aid.
