NA. 4094 A Bremen Is Reported Sunk With 15,000 Troops Aboard Berlin Denies Story Told by Sailor Taken From Torpedoed Ship BY the Azsocinted Press. LONDON, April 18—Exchange ‘Telegraph, British news agency, to- day quoted a Norwegian survivor of the torpedoed British steamer Stan- cliffe as saying the German liner Bremen had been sunk off Nor- way with 15,000 troops. The seaman, named Rydningen, was saved after the Stancliffe was torpedoed off the North Scottish coast last Friday. The agency quoted Rydningen as saying that a telegram announcing safe arrival at a Norwegian port had been found in the Bremen cap- tain’s pocket and that it was sent to Germany by Norwegian authorities. Report Denied Last Week. (German authorities in Berlin last week denied earlier reports that the Bremen had been sunk early in the occupation of Den- mark and Norway. Today au- thorized German sources said they had no information on the liner, but that the latest report sounds like “the same old swindle which has been frequently re- vived by the British.”) Rydningen was one of 16 survivors landed today at a Northern port by & vessel which rescued them after they spent three days in an open boat. The bodies of six of their companions were in the boat. The Stancliffe, 4511-ton steamer, was torpedoed 40 miles off the north coast of Scotland last Friday, with the captain and 13 others killed or swept overboard. The remaining 24 launched a lifeboat; 7 died at sea and 1 soon after the landing. Unrestricted War Threatened. Robert Evans, the second engi- neer, said the German submarine which torpedoed the Stancliffe came alongside the lifeboat after she was launched, and, covering her with a machine-gun, took Rydningen aboard. Rydningen said the German cap- tain gave the warning that the Ger- mans would “sink every ship at sight and spare nobody after May.” Then, he said, he was handed a |bottle of rum, 500 cigarettes, the | lifeboat’s position and the course to steer before being returned to the lifeboat. Among the survivors landed today were three colored men suffering | from frostbite and with feet so | swollen they had to be carried ashore. Holland - (Continued From First Page.) ported to have a few pro-Nazi offi- cers in its ranks and complaints have been made recently in the Dutch Socialist press that police in some towns have not acted ener- getically enough against followers of Mussert. Nazi Uniforms Banned. By government decree, the wear- ing of any uniforms except those officially recognized is forbidden. | That means the disappearance from the streets of the Dutch Nazis’ black shirts and riding breeches. Even black collars are not allowed to be shown, and, as a result, the Black Shirts always paraded with coat collars turned up until such parades were also prohibited. Then Mussert's followers suddenly developed a strong liking for “phys- ical culture” clubs and met at night in private rooms and halls to en- gage in apparently harmless ath- letic exercises. Sometimes they would go for long hikes in the coun- try or undertake healthful marching exercises. But it was noticed there was always an ex-army man in charge of these “physical jerks” and exercises, and consequently they have been forbidden by govern- mental decree. * So now the Dutch Nazis are work- ing entirely underground, like moles, trying to spread their doctrines among the unresponsive Dutch masses. It is not doubted by the Dutch authoritfes that, should the day come when Holland has to face a German invasion, it would be found that a certain number of Dutch fanatics would be helping the aggressor rather than their own country. But it is claimed these fanatics are all known and would be put safely under lock and key before they could do any damage. It is alsc claimed the Dutch Army is ab- solutely loyal to the monarchy and the present government and that every one, from the highest officers | to the rank and file, would fight like tigers to save the independence of Holland. Stockholm (Continued From First Page.) difficult by intensive digging-in op- erations. Planes Forced Down. Four more planes, including a tri- motored German transport, made forced landings in Sweden yester- day as Swedish aircraft and anti- aircraft guns went into action to chase other foreign planes away from Swedish territory. The big transport, with a crew of three, came down in North Sweden at Vallsta, 120 miles from the bor- der and 25 miles from the east coast. The pilot said he started from Narvik but lost his way and was forced to land when his fuel supply ran out. The crews of all the planes were interned. The United States advised its citizens to make their own plans for leaving Sweden in case of trouble. A Letter from Consul General Hal- let Johnson said “emergency ar- rangements have been made to take from Stockholm those few who up to the last moment have not per- fected their own evacuation plans.” They would be carried in an auto- mobile caravan. Mr. Johnson said he was not seek- ing to create alarm but the precau- tions were wise in view of Scandi- navian uncertainties. The Norwegian news agency, Norsk Telegrambyra, said today the Nor- wegian government had’ been ad- vised of the appointment of Admiral Sir Edward Ratcliffe Garth Russell Evans as an extraordinary British naval attache in Norway and i v said the appoint- ‘The news agency 8 ment had been received with great satisfaction in Norway. a THE EVENING Rockefeller Fountain Shut Off Because Of Nesting Birds By the Amociated Press.

Other resolutions called for the discontinuance of the present re- tirement and pension program of the D. A.

The delegates also decided to elect honorary presidents general by a two-thirds ballot instead of a rising vote. as has been customary. The F. B. 1. was praised for its “effective work” by Mrs. Imogen B. Emery in her report as chairman of the Committee on National De- fense Through Patriotic Education. Mrs. Emery preceded Mr. Hoover on the program. “The war clouds of Europe which at this moment seem to threaten brought to us here in the United States a realization of the mean- ing of citizenship, the meaning of life under our republican form of gov- ernment, as nothing has touched us in two decades.” Probe Organizations, She Urges. Declaring that Americans must defend themselves “against peace propaganda as gainst war propa- ganda,” Mrs. Emery warned the “every organization you are tempt- ed to join.” She also warned of the threats of “this so-called new order of to- talitarian governments such as Hit- ler and Stalin are mercilessly rul- ing.” were featured in a “Living History Lesson,” presented by Miss Eleanor Greenwood, chairman of the Com- mittee on Junior American Citi- zens.

The Stdte regents paraded down the aisles of Constitution Hall last night behind the flags of the .48 States and the District of Columbia. The colorful procession was followed by the annual reports of the regents, 1n which they described the chapter activities during the year. The re- ports generally told of anniversary projects throughout the country and increases in chapter memberships. The United States Army Band, under the baton of Capt. Thomas F. Darcy, jr., furnished music for the as- semblage. The opinion that the leaders of the United States are getting a greater case of the “jitters” over foreign propaganda circulating in the country than the average citizen was expressed before the delegates assembled in Constitution Hall yes- terday afternoon. Fulton Oursler, ecitor and novelist, said that America as a whole has achieved a “tolerance for the poison of propaganda that amounts almost to immunity.” “I have never been afraid of the people,” he said, “but I sometimes have been timid of their leaders.” Allies Called Shrewd Propagandists. Declaring that this country is the | target for the propaganda of nine- tenths of the world, Mr. Oursler said | that the allies, particularly, adopting the shrewdest kind of propaganda ever employed.” “All nations seem to have dropped barefaced lying as a policy,” he stated. “Instead, thcy are sticking to the faéts, but only to the facts they want to use.” Mr. Oursler drew a parallel to ad- ministrative conditions now and in 1917. He cited an address of Presi- dent Roosevelt in which the Chief Executive “denounced as fake and | phoney the apprehensions of those | who fear that American soldiers may | yet be sent again to France.” The speaker then told of a con- | versation between President Wilson and a mutual friend in which the | World War President was quoted as reassuring his guest that “as a gesture we might send a few thousand troops to parade and hearten the allied peoples, but you can depend on it, the United States will send no expeditionary forces to France.” “How, then,” Mr. Oursler asked, “can President Roosevelt or any one else know?

Determined to “Clean House.” “All the radical propaganda in the country,” he said, “all the sneers, jeers and smears could not divert | them from their determination to clean house.” Mr. Oursler said that though this Nation is “sympathetic toward vari- ous countries in their wars,” propa- ganda has not yet succeeded in making any substantial group of American citizens “believe that we should get into this war.” News of Full reports of the D.

France has 83 members in its two chapters, of which a score are Frenchwomen, descendants of Lafayette and Ro- chambeau. Patriotic observances have been put aside for the time be- ing, Mrs. Rowe said, and “everybody is just working for France.” The women donated Prench textbooks to 250 Czech aviators fighting for France to help them adapt them- selves to their new country, One of the French chapters sent a gift of funds to Mme. Lebrun, wife of the French President, to use as she thought best. Members of both French chapters are helping with the work of evacuating children from the war zones. ER A miniature style show entertained the delegates at the afternoon ses- sion yesterday when a trio of pages in cotton dresses acted as mannikins for the Girl Home Makers' Commit- tee. The frocks were the winners in a cotton dress contest, sponsored by the committee as a national State project. The winning dress, made by a Connecticut girl, was an at- tractive red and gray striped num- ber. Second and third prizes went to North Carolina and Illinois girls, respectively. They tried to get pages from the same State to act as models, but unfortunately they also had to locate the right size. The Ohio page who modeled the North Carolina prize winner drawled, “Well, anyhow I have a Southern accent.” * k% % Fulton Oursler, the speaker at the afternoon session yesterday, came a half hour too late to see the impres- sive ceremony which was performed especially in his honor The entrance march of the color bearers, usually reserved only for the night meetings and the first assembly went off as scheduled, but only the 4,000 dele- gates were there to witness it. | * X % % The Daughters of the American Revolution are pursuing a real good- | neighbor policy this year.

Pinally, Mrs. Henry M. Robert. jr., president general, succeeded in presenting an amendment without interruption. “I must have made that clear,” she smiled. “Miss Richards has no question.” But she spoke too soon. “Madame president general,” began Miss Richards, “a point of informa- tion.” L Said one delegate to another at a session yesterday: “I wouldn’t have Mrs. Robert’s job for $10,000.” The other responded, “I wouldn’t have it for $25000.” Then she added, modestly, “I couldn’t do it anyhow.” L When the time came to receive pledges to finance the D. A. R. ar- chives room yesterday, Mrs. Russell Willlam Magna, honorary president general, was introduced as “our most accomplished auctioneer,” Mrs. Mag- na lived up to her reputation by coaxing 177 delegates to the foot of the stage with pledges totaling ap- proximately $7,600. Among some of the items Mrs. Magna successfully “sold” were “tubs of lovely mortar,” “units of best brick,” “attractive wall space” and “containers of pure paint.” The French regent, Mrs. Harlan Rowe, paid $15 for one of the “containers of pure paint.” The constitution of the Argentine Republic bears the date of May 25, 1853.
