$100,000 Gifts Cabled To Belgium and Duich Red Cross Units U.S. Body's Action Follows Start of $10,000,000 War Relief Drive Contributions of $100,000 eaeh were cabled to the Belgian and Netherlands Red Cross yesterday by the American Red Cross for the im- mediate relief of military and civil- ian wounded, it was announced by Chairman Norman H. Davis. ‘The action followed announcement of a $10,000,000 drive for a war re- lief fund which already has met a generous response from various ceptance of quotas assigned them, and many of the Bruce Baird. District chapter, which has a $150,- 000 quota, is headed by Bruce Baird of the National Savings and Trust Co. The $100,000 cabled through Am- bassador John Cudahy in Belgium 'was in answer to the following cable- gram from President P. Nolf of the Belgian Red Cross, responding to a query from Chairman Davis: “Deeply moved by your generous action, we wish to express our pro- found gratitude. Needs of the Bel- glan Red Cross are considerable. “Will be very happy to receive We grateful sentiments.” To Go to Princess. The contribution dispatched to the Netherlands will be delivered by Minister George A. Gordon to Prin- cess Juliana, president of the Nether- lands Red Cross Society. The first contribution in the war nounced the drive over the radio, and was followed up by a $3,000 check from Dwight F. Davis, for- mer Secretary of War, and Mrs. Davis ‘Telegrams poured into national headquarters from individuals as well as chapters pledging support in the drive. Among them was a $10,000 contribution by the New York Times, announced in a mes- sage to Chairman Davis from Arthur Hays Sulzberger, the publisher. Support for the drive was ex- pressed by the International Lions in a message from Melvin Jones, secretary general, at Chicago, and the Community Chest Council, through its president, Robert Culter, Mayor Harold H. Burton of Cleve- land telegraphed: “You may count upon Cleveland's fullest co-operation in supporting the national policies of the Ameri- can Red Cross and its campaign for $10,000,000 war relief funds.” To Be Used in Several Nations. In commenting on the support pledged from all parts of the coun- try, Mr. Davis pointed out that the campaign for the fund had not been initiated until the organization was convinced of the need for a greatly public for contributions. Funds for war relief will be used in all nations involved in the con- flict with the exception of Germany, Russia and Japan, which have in- dicated they required no assistance from the American Red Cross. Contributions from children’s groups will be included in the na- tional childrend’s fund of the Junior Red Cross for the relief of young victims of the war. National headquarters also an- mounced last night that orders for 100 ambulances to be sent to Bel- gium, the Netherlands and other European war zones were placed today by the Red Tross. Ambu- lances were particularly requested in a cable from the Netherlands Red Cross, it was stated. The modern- type ambulances are all air-condi- tioned and heated and carry four ‘The Supplies Already Sent. ‘War relief already dispatched to the British Red Cross included $96,- 378 worth of purchased supplies from the United States, among which was equipment for 12 com- plete emergency operating theaters and 40,054 garments for hospital pa- tients and for the women and chil~ dren evacuees. The garments were made by American women volun- teers in Red Cross chapters throughout the Nation. Shipped to England also were 209,000 surgical dressings made by women volun- teers to special patterns for mili- tary and civilian hospitals. The French Red Cross has been aided with $77,568 worth of pur- chased supplies, including hospital equipment and special comforts of French evacuees, such as blankets and stoves for their temporary homes. To the French Red Cross also has gone 63,000 garments, in- cluding hospital shirts and oper: ing gowns and clothing for women and children. Women volunteers in American Red Cross chapters also have made 170,000 surgical dressings for military and civilian hospitals, and thesé have been shipped. In accepting the appointment as head of the District committee Mr. Baird said, “I am quite positive that we will be successful in rais- ing the minimum of $150,000 set for the District chapter, which has been accepted. “The District chapter appeals to all of Washington to respond to this humanitarian need as generously as they always have. The fund-raising committee will be organized immediately.” Mr. Baird announced the appoint- ment of Earl A. Nash, now chair- man of the chapter’s Public Rela- tions Committee, to have charge of publicity for the campaign. Miss Lewis to Speak ' Miss Kathryn Lewis, daughter of sthe C. I.

Mrs, William Hurd Hill is chairman, f i ia ELIOT. The great question in all minds regarding the new German thrust into the Low Countries remains as yet unsolved. ; Is the German objective merely the occupation ..., of the Nether-: lands and the : whole or part of Belgium, or is ning of a lied armies, an attempt to out- flank the Magi- not Line? The Germans claim to-be at- tacking the “main defense line” along the Maj. Eliot, Yasel and Maas Rivers, from the Ysselmeer down to the junction of the Belgian, Dutch and Luxem- bourg frontiers. This is parti- ally confirmed by Belgian admis- sions that fighting is going on alpng the Albert Canal, the Maas (Meuse) and on the Ardennes front. Indeed, if the Albert Canal is the scene of fighting, this would con- firm Germain claims of having crossed the Maas im the Dutch province of Limburg, though not necessarily, their further claim to have captured the Albert Canal bridges farther west. The Germans also state that one of the forts de- fending Liege is in their hands, but the importance of this, even if-true, is minimized by the announcement that a captain and a lieutenant have been decorated for the achievement. This would seem to indicate that it was & matter of a company or two, and, in consequence, that the fort was no more than the objective of a snfall force, a pill box or small redoubt. Moreover, the defenses of Liege are far wider spread than in the last war, so that a frontier pill box might be described as belong- ing thereto. Belgians Better Armed. ‘We should, therefore. not hastily assume that one of the great forts of the main ceinture of Liege has fallen. This is set forth here in such detail as an example of the care with which all available information has to be sifted in search of the few kernels of truth which may thereby be brought to light. However, as far as their main land forces are concerned, the Germans do appear to be striking most heav- ily in this Maastricht-Liege sector, where the Belgian delaying position along the Albert Canal joins the heavily fortified line of the Meuse. Success here would outflank both the main Belgian defense lines—the canal and the Meuse—and open the interior of the country to German penetration, just as the fall of Liege opened the way for the German hosts in 1914. In contrast with 1914, it may be said that the Belgian defenses are much more formidable, and the Bel- gian Army much better trained, armed and organized than it was then. On the other hand, the Ger- mans have the advantage of their air force to aid them in their offen- sive efforts. Probably the issue will depend very largely on the swift and effective arrival of allied aid, both on land and in the air. The Ger- mans will do all they can to delay this by the use of their planes, and by air-landed detachments, but they will meet far more effective air op- position than they did in Norway, for example. As to the Netherlands, the north- ern part of that country appears largely open to German attack, but is in itself not a strategical objective worth much effort. Farther south, in the province of Utrecht, where the main Dutch water-line defenses center, there are reports of inunda- tions being carried out, but as yet no confirmation from eyewitness statements. It may be assumed that efforts of German parachutists and “fifth column” men would be di- rected toward attacking, and the Dutch counter-efforts toward de- fending, the key points (notably Amersfort) controlling the inunda- tion plan. It is perhaps significant that there are no reports as yet from Amersfort or Utrecht. This remains to be seen. Dutch Hold to Airports. Other German efforts with air- plane-carried and parachuting in- fantry into the Netherlands have been directed toward the seizure of the Dutch airports, both to hamper Dutch aviation in countering the German air force and to prevent the swift arrival and effective opera- tion of allied air aid. The lesson whith Norway taught the Germans of the complete dependence of a modern air force on effectively lo- cated bases is here being vigorously applied. Another unanswered ques- tion is the amount of damage which the Germans contrived to do to the ground installations of the Dutch air bases, both by the action of their parachutists and by bombing. On the whole the reaction of the Dutch defense forces appears to have been so swift and vigorous that there is ground for believing that there are air bases available for the use of allied planes in con- siderable numbers. The repeated bombings in and around Amsterdam are probably aimed at injuring the great air base at Schiephol, which does not appear to have been seized by parachutists—probably because it was too securely defended. Other parachutists are reported as dropping in great numbers at various points between the Central Rivers and the Belgian frontier, and the Germans in Rotterdam, though reported driven from the air base, are fighting in the streets and build- ings of the city and are receiving reinforcements by air. This is, of course, desperate business and in- dicates German determination to isolate the Netherlands from all hope of outside aid, just as with Norway, until the German armies can advance and overcome Dutch resistance. The German armies are much closer and in greater available strength than in Norway, nor are they dependent on a precarious sea- and-air line of communications. On the other hand they are opposed by & Duth Army far more formidable than that of Norway, by mo means disorganized or disarmed by seiz- ure of its main arsenals and mili- tary centers and capable of being much more quickly supported by the allies.

GEORGE FIELDING | the use of air-carried forces; this| INew Member, 11, Whose apparently in the hope of produc- ing disorganization and confusion in the remainder of the country. The extent to which allled help has already arrived is as yet uncer- tain. Allled air forces have un- doubtedly intervened, but whether any allied squadrons are as yet based in the Netherlands or Belgium is unknown. British troops are re- ported as landing in the Nether- lands, but where and in what strength is unknown. One report says that 200,000 British troops are advancing into Belgium; another announces the reception with ac- claim of both French and British forces by the Belgian populace; French forces are reported in the Netherlands at Middleburg (in Zee- land) and in Breda (both uncon- firmed). If these last reports are true it would seem that the allies have as- sumed the German objective to be & penetration south of the central rivers, through the Dutch provinces of Limburg (already overrun) and North Brabant (where the parachu- tists are swarming) to reach the is- lands of Zeeland, which would be formidable as submarine and air bases against the British Isles and against allied shipping. For such an attempt, the possession of Rotter- dam, for which the Germans are making such a desperate fight, would afford excellent flank protection. It cannot, therefore, as yet be as- sumed that this “limited objective” operation is not the real German aim but it cannot be assumed, either that even if this is so at present, it may not turn out to be only the first phase of a plan of wider scope. Certainly, in any attempt to sweep through Belgium into France, the prompt arrival of British reinforce- ments and supplies would be vital to the allies; and certainly these could be far more readily interferred with from Zeeland than from the Ger- man coast. The fog of war, lately obscuring Norway, now hangs over the Low Countries, and the visions seen through it are vague and confusing. 1t must be left to a later day to de- termine what objectives the Ger- mans have in mind, and what real progress, if any, they are making toward their achievement.

The British reported no loss of personnel despite persistence of German aerial retaliation. One German Heinkel and one Dornier bomber were shot down when a large German force raided & Royal Air Force station. British Hurricane fighters went up to meet them and got two more German planes in a screaming dog- fight witnessed by gaping thousands of civilians and soldiers. The British said the airfield was not damaged despite a German diving attack to the very treetops, so close that ground troops plugged away at the raiders with pistols. Yet another British squadron ranged over the Netherlands and reported destruction or heavy dam- age of nine German troop transport planes near The Hague. Description of Battle. Describing the battle, the leader of six British fighter planes said his men dived from 5,000 feet, pulling out at 150 feet firing 18,000 rounds of machine-gun bullets into the German machines. “Before we reached the troop car- riers,” this leader said, “we came upon three Messerschmitt (German) fighters, and below them on a beach north of the Hague we saw nine Junkers 52's. After our bombers set two of the big Junkers afire, the fighters. formed in line astern. One after another the British planes then dived vertically, flattening -out over the beach. “Of the seven remaining craft, we destroyed four more, and the other three were riddled with our bullets. “One of our fighters made a forced landing on the sand. We did not leave him until we were satisfied that the pilot and other members of the crew were uninjured.” British incendiary bombs also sub- Jjected the Rotterdam Airport to what was described as the heaviest bombardment of the war in a six- hour raid in the face of terrific ground fire. (The Rotterdam Air- port subsequently was retaken, the Dutch claimed). Fires were started in different parts of the airdrome, and the Brit- ish pilots said they left 20 four- engined German craft aflame. Patman Says His Bill Hits Only Monopolies By the Associated Press. Representative Patman, Demo- crat, of Texas said last night that his chain store tax bill on which a House ways and means subcom- mittee has been conducting hear- ings would affect only “the monop- gumc part of the chain store sys- em.” Irlx an address prepared for a radio broadcast, he declared that “95 per cent of the 7,000 chain store companies will pay no tax at all— the first 50 stores in a chain are exempt.” “No store will be closed within seven years,” he continued, “and then only 20 of the 7,000 chain store companies will be forced to dispose of some of their stores. “Why a tax bill? It is the quick- est way of getting the job done. A regulatory law would be too slow, if it worked at all.” ONE year.

Owen’s grandmother, Mrs. Eliza- beth Owen, is first vice president of the society, and several months ago the youngster remarked to her: “How’s about my joining that club? I like those people.” The Board of Directors met to consider the membership “applica- tion” and Owen was admitted as an associate member immediately. He is listed as the society’s youngest. The oldest member of the group, which has a total enrollment of more than 150, is Mrs, C. A, Laning, who will be 80 in June. Unlike Owen, she has been a member of the society since about two months after it was founded 19 years ago. New Headquarters Opened. Mrs. Laning and young Beatty were among approximately - 200 members and friends,who attended a reception yesterday afternoon at the society’s new headquarters at 2431 Fourteenth street N.W. The new home for the society, opened about & month ago, is the fourth in its history and the first to provide adequate space for the varied recreational and educational program carried on by the social service organization. The spacious reception room yesterday was filled with guests. In one corner of the room are placed a blackboard and a raised platform used by the instructor of lip-reading classes. Lip-reading in- struction is one of the principal serve ices of the organization and is con- sidered one of the most beneficial. The classes are held twice weekly with “excellent attendance,” accord- ing to the society president, Mrs, Laura Stovel. Those Receiving. Receiving the guests with Mrs. Stovel and Mrs. Owen were Miss Lena L. Burgdorf, second vice pres- ident; Miss Mildred Harris, record- ing secretary; O. N. Smith, treasu- rer; Miss Minnie M. Hill, Miss Viola Goodrich, G. R. Dickson, Paul Pernecky and Edwin Thompson and the following past presidents: Mrs. Katherine Kipp Madden, Miss Ada Morgan Hill and Miss Annah M. Fletcher. Mr. and Mrs. Dickson, the former also a past president of the group, were in charge of arrangements, as- sisted by Mrs. Marguerite Neill, Miss Freda Burson and Theodore J. Stoeppelwerth, president of the young people’s groyp. Among the honor guests, includ- ing several of the society’s founders, were Miss Betty C. Wright, Miss Josephine B.

Roosevelt-Leopold Texts President Tells Belgian King~ U.S. Is Angered by Invasion Texts of the messages exchanged between President Roosevelt and King Leopold of Belgium, as made public last night by the State De- partment, follow: His Excellency, the President of the United States of America: Brutally attacked by Germany, which had entered into the most sol- emn engagements with her, Bel- glum will defend herself with all of her strength against the invader. In these tragic hours which my country is undergoing, I am ad- dressing myself to your excellency, who so often has demonstrated to- ward Belgium an affectionate in- terest, in the certainty that you will support with all of your moral au- thority the efforts which we are now firmly decided to make in order to preserve our independence. LEOPOLD. His Majesty, Leopold III, King of the Belgians, Brussels (Belgium): I have received your majesty's telegram. As I stated in an address which I delivered last night to rep- resentatives of the 21 American re- publics, the cruel invasion by force of arms of the independent nations of Belgium, Netherlands and Lux- embourg has shocked and angered the peaple of the United States and, I feel sure, their neighbors in the Western Hemisphere. The people of the United States hope, as do I, that policies which seek to dominate peaceful and independent peoples through force and military aggres- sion may be arrested, and that the government and people of Belgium may preserve their integrity and their freedom.

Extension of the Neutrality Act to the newly invaded countries found a growing sentiment in Con- gress for its revision to permi: the granting of. credits to the allies. Advocating such action and repeal of the Johnson Act, Chairman May of the House Military Affairs Com- mittee, told reporters: “If I've got a bulldog in my front yard to scare away burglars, Iml going to feed him.” Senator Adams, Democrat, of Colorado suggested relaxation of the Neutrality Act before German in- vasion of the Low Countries, but general reaction then was that his ‘proposal was premature. Chairman Pittman of the Senate Foreign Rela- tions Committee said at the time that the allies were estimated to have sufficient financial reserves to g0 two yeats without credit, and some ‘other Senators expressed fear that extension of credits might lead this country into the war. Several legislators predicted priv- ately yesterday, however, that Con- gress now would support the Presi- dent if he were to recommend repeal of the Johnson Act and neutrality law revision, the Associated [Press | reported. Many members of both houses praised Mr. Roosevelt's Friday night | address in which he predicted that the American Republics would act together, if necessary, to defend their civilization against the chal- lenge of totalitarian aims for world domination. Stephen Early, White House press secretary, said that nine out of every 10 of several thousand tele- grams received in regard to the speech applauded it. The remain- ing 10 per cent, he said, were from pe;':eons who favored “peace at any price.” “ Shop at the friendly store= you're always greeted with nile=with no obligation to IMPORTANT NEWS FOR THE HARD OF SPECIAL FREE AUDIOMETER TESTS AND PREVIEW OF THE NEW VACUUM TUBE ACOUSTICON MAY 15TH TO 21ST Do not miss this oportunity to obtain a complete and thorough hearin test WITHOUT OBLIGATION and try the new VACUUM TUBE ACOUSTICON.

The nsmes by which numerous Dutch towns are known are Arglice ized and therefore, there is no aue thority for their pronounciation, Amsterdam and Rotterdam, how- ever, are Dutch names, pronounced phonetically. The Hague, seat of government, is commonly known as Den Hasg, pronounced “Den Hog.” The Enge lish tongue'is seldom equal to pro- nounciation of the Hague's formal name, 'S-Gravenhage, but an ap- proximation is “Schrawvenhogga.” Here are a few others (accent on first syllable).
