I had no idea that there would be so many displeasures encounter- | ed. I have tried all of my life to i do the things which would cause ; people to like me, and avoid as; much as __spossible making enemies, and I realize that my| efforts of a lifetime can be de-| stroyed in a short political cam- paign. I had in mind some| things which I would do if I were } sheriff which would be an im-! provement over past perform- ances in the sheriff's office which | Would be of vast benefit to the people, “but” I realize I am a misfit in a campaign of deception } and secret plotting which is not in the interest of the people. 1| want to be forgiven by my} friends who will be disappointed, | “but” a true friend will not re- quire the sacrificing of a friend.

GERMANS SIEZE DENMARK, NORWAY RATES FROM ‘150 UP i (Continued from Page One) declared earlier that Denmark’s | freedom and independence would be guaranteed “from this time forward”. Danish officials, it is conjectured, wondered about that. | Complete control of Copen- hagen was effected within a few hours after start of the invasion move, and by 8:00 o’clock (Eu rope time) this morning, sea and land forces had arrived in suffi- cient numbers to take over all principle points of the city and vicinity. | Reports from London excitement runs high as the British pecple clamor for addi- tional news on the turn of events in Euope. Large crowds, early today, stormed No. 10 Downing Street, residence of Prime Min- | ister Chamberlain, and had to be} kept under control by British bobbies. Neutral observers declared, as a special release from London came through, that the invasion of the Scandinavian countries had long been planned. The ar- rival of a German transport ship off the coast of Norway last night gave definite proof that such invasion had been started long before the mine-laying inci- dent reported yesterd when British naval ships announce: successful placing of thre arate strings of mines in front of that many Norwegian ports. State offi s here were faced with three moves. (1) The immediate vacuation of about 2300 Americans from threatenea countries of the northland. (2) The transmis- sion of a note of protest at the turn of events. So fast did the events come about—first, the sinking of more and more Nor- wegian ships; then laying of mines by the British to keep iron ore shipments from going to Ger- many, and now, the invasion by Nazi forces. The situation is made all the more startling in that Norway and Germany sign- ed a non-aggression pact last June. (3) President Roosevelt is expected to order all American shipping out of the vicinity “new war activity”. British and French ministers at Oslo have requested that the United Sates legation take over all business -affairs of their re- spective countries. Stockholm advised early today. that general mobilization had been ordered. No information as to whether Sweden was to be included in the Nazi-invasion maneuver was forthcoming. indicate BITTEN BY OWN TEETH CHICAGO. — When Joseph Callahan slid off a police cell bench, his false teeth popped out and bit him above one eye.
