The news that Weygand had taken over was greeted with ac- claim both here and in Paris. It was generally understood that General Focti’s World. War I chief of staff was thoroughly con ant with the present emergency, and probably the best! man to cope with the Nazi drives; now so closely resembling the German thrusts _ successfully hurled back in 1918. Weygand, following the same tact. 2m- ployed then, will use the of “attack, attack, attack present tense moment. Allied dispatches that main fortre: Namur have not fallen to the Nazis, although the latter con- tinue to broadcast just the op- posite news. Allies, at any rate, haven't retreated from Belgium soil, as was thought probable late last k, and are still engaged in drawing up supporting defense lines to keep the azis from reaching the seacoast of that country. British war office announced today that R.A.F. expeditions had been successful in destroying large oil refinery bases at Hom- burg, Germany, and that other darnig day-light attacks on mili- tary objéctives behind the lines had met with considerable suc- cess. The air raids on western Germany and on areas in Bel- in the still state at Liege and gium held by the Nazis are for f the purpose of harassing or cut- ting off the German communica- tion lines of supplies and re- serves. Nazis claimed that the Britist were killing a number of their own countrymen in the attacks on several German cities. Britons said to be killed are prisoners of war in Germany. In Belgium the Nazis are ex- periencing considerable trouble with their supply lines for troops on the various fronts. Reliance has had to be placed on truck deliveries as drives to capture main line railroads in the terri- tory occupied have not met with success. Field Marshall Goehring, air- chief of the Nazis’ army, an- nounced through the DNB agen- cy today that Adolf Hitler must be given credit for the whole plan of: lowlands invasion. Goeh- ring stated that the German feu- hrer had “pawed” over maps for days upon days before giving the order that released the flood of invaders into Holland, Belgium and Luxembourg.

From authoritative comes word that the United States cannot in any way carry out the reply to the President's peace request. In some quarters, it is said that Mussolini realized this and that it implies Italy will in the near future enter the war. It all simmers down to the fact that Mussolini will remain at peace if the demands are met or go to war to gain his objectives —but they must be fulfilled re- gardless. ‘Phe Italian army has been told to be ready for the Duce’s orders “from hour to hour’. Count Ciano, in addressing cheering mobs yesterday in celebration ‘of the Rome-Berlin axis, said Italy will not remain out of this war. He declared the Fascists are in readiness for any order Musso- lini may give. has sources DYNAMITE IN FIREWOOD WEBSTER CITY, Ilowa—When a large chunk of wood would not go through the furnace door, Dr. L.
