CHURCHILL SAYS NAZI GANGSTERS WILL BE BEATEN Britiah Prepared For Long War To Accomplish Their Alms Against Hitlertem. London, Oct. 2.?Oreat Britain's king summoned another 250,000 men to the colors tonight as his flrst lord of the admiralty/Winston Churchill, boldly declared the European war would end only when the allied forces were convinced that Keicnsfuehrer Adolf Hitler "lias had enough." The admiralty chief, In an empire broadcast, declared: "Russia has warned Hitler oft his eastern dreams." But he added that he could not forecast Russia's next move, terming It a "riddle wrapped in mystery Inside of an enigma." Shortly before the Church:ill speech, in which the admiralty head said Britons believe "we are, en titled < to the respect and good will of the ; world and particularly of the States." King Qeorge VI called to , armed service all British men between the ages of 2Q and 22 years "with certain exceptions." 1 Some 240.000 youths aged 20 were , called up last June. Today's procla- ( mation applies to those In the 21 year age group and those who have become 20 since June 5. ' Churchill told the empire "it was , for Hitler to sky when the war would f begin but it is not for him or his successors to say when it will end. How soon the war ends, he said, ; depends upon how long Herr Hit- t ler and his group of gangsters whose hands are stained with blood and sticky with corruption can keep their ? grip upon the docile, unhappy Oct* man people." , . . Churchill said "three important things" had occurred in the first month of the war: "Poland has been overrun but will rise again; Husala t has warned Hitler off his eastern 1 dreams; and the U-boats may be safely left to the care and constant i attention of the British navy. Prime Minister Chamberlain is ex- J pected to give the house of commons t tomorrow the official government reaction to the Oerman-Soviet partition of Poland and his weekly wai ^ review on Tuesday. p The admiralty head ignored in his broadcast a set of questions asked by a Oerman-speaking voice which interrupted a British Broadcasting corporation program about 8 p. m. <2 p m. EST.) with a request that he reply in his address at 8:15 p. m. (3:15 p. m. EST.) A German reply to Churchill's answers was promised. J Churchill was asked by the speaker on the mysterious radio to answer t these questions: "Where is the British aircraft cai - | ricr hit by a German bomb" in the, North sea? < "What caused the sinking of fne : Athenia? TT , . I. Why did Churchill say a U-boat i( commander who had sent an S. O.S. | to him had been captured when the j ] commander in question had returned j. to Germany?" ,, , ! A BBC spokesman said the wa\e \ length of a station at Cologne. Oer- j) many, was very near that of the BBC L and frequently interferred on some,. The air ministry announced the j royal air force carried out a success-I ful reconnaisance flight last night j, over northern Germany, shooting \. down two German fighters "in flames" and returning safely |j King George and Queen Elizabeth , led the nation in a day of prayer, attending services at St. Paul s cathedral. Tonight the king held a privy council meeting. In his broadcast Churchill warned that 'we have not yet come at all to the severity of the fighting which is to be expected." 1 Going into greater detail in the; third point of his summary of the first month of wai;. Churchill declai - j ed: ? ,, 1 A week has passed since a British ship alone or in convoy has been sunk or even molested on the high seas' and "it would seem that the U-boat attack upon the life of the; British Islrs has not so far prosed. successful." We must. <if course, expect that the l'-b->at attack upon the seaborne commerce of the world will be le- , no\ved presently upon a greater scale." the war-wise Churchill warned His prediction followed an announcement last night that the admiralty had warned all British merchant shipping to be on guard against "an immediate change of police in German submarine warfare." It said such a change might be indicated by a German broadcast that German submarines had been attacked by British merchant ships and that "Germany will have to retaliate bv regarding every vessel of the British merchant navy as a warship " >In Germany some sections of tne Nazi press said that armed British merchantmen would be treated "as warships" by Oerman submarines but official quarters remained silent )n German government's attitude. The 1930 International Submarine convention, signed by Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop for Germany in 1937. made no distinc:ion between armed or unarmed nerchant ships. Signatories under;ook not to sink such vessels without _ Irst putting their passengers, crew ind papers in a safe place. > "We hope, however," Churchill continued, "that by the end o/ October we shall have three nany hunting craft at work ua we md at the beginning of the war; ind by the measures we have taken, vc hope that our means of putting lown this pest will grow continually. We are taking great care about that. "Therefore, to sum up the results 3f the first month, let us say that Poland has been overrun, but will rise again; that Russia has warned Hitler of! his eastern dreams; and that the U-boats may be safely leu to the care anct constant attention of the British navy." Answering "reproaches of those who wish to throw themselves into the fight." Churchill reiterated Britain's determination to press the war "until decisive victory is gained." "Meanwhile patriotic men and women and those who understand ? tlie high causes in human fortunes which are at stake must not only rise above fear, they must also rise above inconvenience and boredom." warned the World-war-trained admiralty chief. Britain's preparation for the next three years, he said, "does not mean that victory may not be gained in a short time. How sOon it will be gained depends upon how long Herr Hitler and his group of gangsters, whose hands are stained with blood j and sticky with corruption, can keep i their grip upon the docile, unhappy ! German people. | "It was for Hitler to say when the j war would begin, but it is not for , him or his successors to say when it j will end. It began when he wanted it, but it will end only when we are j convinced that he has had enough." He repeated Prime Minister Chamjberlain's statement of Britain's war aims: "To redeem Europe from the perpetual and recurring fear of German aggression, and enable the peoi pie of Europe to preserve their independence and their liberties." Sounding a note of high confl! dence, Churchill said Britain and France "together are 85.000.000' ! against Nazidom's "no more than j 85.000.000, of which ,at least 16,000,000. newly conquered' Czechs, Slovak, lans, and Austrians, are writhing i under their cruel yoke and have to f be held down by main force." "We have the oceans." he contini ued, "we have the freely-given, ar, dent support of the 20.000,000 of British citizens in the self-governing dominions of Canada, Australia, New Zealand and 8outh Africa. We have the heart of moral convictions of India on our side. "We believe we are entitled to the respect and good will of the world and particularly of the United States." Observer Predicts Two Years War <> . Chicago, Oct. 3.?H. V. Kaltenborn, contemporary historian and uuthor, surveying Europe's war, sees "a war iA no kuta.than two years and possibly us much us four years lit prospect us mutters stand today"?with America remaining neutral If propaganda bar rages can be fought successfully. "This country can remain neutral, but what we must now tight Is something more Insidious, and In a sense more distant?propaganda. Take Uoeriug's speech the other day, I heard and translated tbo original which was quite different on several Important points from the official release In England. Propaganda comes from all sides, of course, and It serves Its purpose to tell us stories of hopes und weaknesses. Checking one side against the other, we cau arrive at the general fruth, If we aualyse," Mr. Kaltenboru who recently returned from Europe said In an Interview yesterday. On Germany's getting raw mate-, rial In return far a depreciated currency, he said "Germany must exchange her products, not money, for raw materials. Already she has forced enough things like uspirln and mouth organs 011 Europe to keep It iupplled for years. Desldes, her protuction Is geared only to war machinery now. She must either conquer or ntimldate her source of supplies. \nd Hllter has been very expert at he latter." >TATE PATROL BRINGS IN $81,051.65 Total fines paid to South Carolina's 16 counties and license collection fees ;o the state by the state highway jatrol during the months of July and Vugust reached $81,051.69, It was earned Friday.

C.f Oct. 7?The homuii of Sheriff Jess Woody of Mitchell county and his father, N. B. Woody, errre partly destroyed by explosions early today but none of the occupants was hurt. , * No reasons for the two exposlons, which occurred within a few minutes of each other, were advanced by the sheriff or members of his family. Meanwhile, Ouy Scott and Oscar Adkins, agents of the state bureau of investigation, were sent hei'e , from Haleigh with instructions to remain on the Job until the case is cleared | up. % I Director Fred Handy of the bureau said that Sheriff Woody had received several threatening letters during the last few months and that SBI Agents Scott and Jimmy Powell, ballistics and handwriting expert, were here the first part of this week in an unsuccesful attempt to learn who was writing the letters. He intimated That "political undercurrents" might have proceded the exploslpns. A preliminary Investigation, Shor-v iff Woody said, Indicated that the homes were dynamited and the fuses set to go off simultaneously. Tho interval between tho detonations probably saved all the lives, he suggested.

THIS 18 NO TRUFFLE In, France, one of thosfe so-quaint cuetoiys is truffle-dinting. Pigs are sent to root up the edible tubrous roots, whereupon the truffle-hunter takes them away from the pigs and either eats them himself or sends them, more profitably, to the Amerlean market. This always seemed to us ,lik|? * very poor joke on the pig. But little -did he suspect! There was worse lu .store fon him. Now the French solI dlers are reported taking thoBe pigs up to the fighting lines and letting them root their way through no-man's land. The pig, rooting enthusiastically, J finds what he thinks Is a truffle. But instead It turns out to be a burled German mine. And with one stout thrust of this porcine muzzle, Mr. Pig goes to Kingdom Come. If It were not for the saving fact that the pig has practically no future beyond the butcher shop anyway, we'd say that was a pretty bad joke also.?Sumter Item.
