AMERICAN LEGION "Blessed Event" for Elsie
Norwegian Crown Princess
and Children to Be Hyde
Park Guests.
New York. Aug.. 28.
After perilous voyage during
part of which death teemed to
lurk In every wave, the army
transport American Legion ar
rived in New York harbor to
day with more than 800 Ameri
can refugcci.
The voyage, which began at
Petsamo, Finland, Aug. 16, car
ried the vessel through mine
areai north of Scotland at a
time when Germany was pro
claiming unrestricted warfare
In British waters.
The Norwegian crown princ
ess Martha and her children,
fleeing from Scandinavia were
taken off the American Legion
down the bay by a coast guard
cutter. They landed at the Bat
tery, where arrangements had
been made to take them immed
iately to the Waldorf Astoria
hotel.
The reception at the Battery
probably was the least spectac
ular ever accorded visiting roy
alty. A small crowd huddled in
the rain outside the covered
pier and watched the crown
princess and her retinue whiz
past in a motor caravan.
The princess held her .1-year-old
ion. Prince Harald in her
lap In the first car. She wore a
blue ensemble, with a silver fox
carf and a wide brimmed, dark
bat. She also carried a large
bouquet of roses.
During the trip up the bay
ahe remarked that the weather
was the same as it was when
he came here last year to open
tht Norwegian pavilion at the
New York World'a fair. It was
dark, rainy day.
Mrs. Florence Jaffray Harrl
tnan, U. S. minister to Norway,
nd a number of other diplo
mat remained aboard until the
vessel docked in Brooklyn.
The royal party planned to
drive to Hyde Park tomorrow
and be the guests of Mrs. Frank
lin D. Roosevelt until the crown
princess can find suitable quar
ters. The American Legion was
picked up 800 miles at sra by
two United States destroyers
forming an honorary escort.
Virtually all the 897 passeng
era were Americans fleeing
countries under German and
Russian domination.

THE GRANGE
LL.jr .......
It's a daughter for Elsie!
To a tensely expectant world,
that news was given out in Hol
lywood as Elsie Borden, Ameri
ca's bovine sweetheart, gave
birth to a bouncing baby that is
the very' image of its famout
mother.
Telegrams of congratulations
are pouring in from everywhere
at the announcement of the
blessed event that left even
Winchcll gasping.
The new arrival has been
christened "Beulah". That seem
ed to meet with the approval of
both mother and daughter and
they have settled down to a
period of rest. After that in
about ten days Elsie will re
turn to her work under the
kllegs at the R.K.O. studio
where she Is being featured in
the motion picture "Little Men"
from the story by Louisa May
Alcott.
But Beulah's arrival was cou
pled with another surprise an-
- it "

be a solid, nation wide structure
wherein all th component parts
are organized both vertically and
horizontally," but said further
that this wai "by no means a
movement for a political party."
KONOYE CALLS ON
JAPAN TO ADOPT
NATIONAL POLICY ARKANSAS BLAST
KILLS MINE CREW
Tokyo, Aug. 28. UP) Pre
mier Prince Fumimaro Konoye
told Japan today she must adopt
a new "national structure to
"unite the total energies of the
state and the people" so as to
"take an active part In the estab
lishment of a new world order."
He spoke to a group of 26
political leaders forming a com
mittee charged with organizing
the "new structure" in the wake
of the dissolution of all Japan's
old political parties.
The premier has been expect
ed since taking office July 22 to
establish a totalitarian regime.
But his abstract phrases today
left doubt as to the exact form
of the "new structure" and some
observers thought he took pains
to avoid the appearance of fol
lowing European totalitarian pat
terns (such as the fascist or nazi
parties).
Bates, Ark., Aug. 2t.fP)
Ten men. the entire crew of the
Bates Coal corporation mine,
were killed by an explosion
deep down In the slope-type
shaft here a few minutes after
they went to work late yester
day. State Mine Inspector J. W.
Fitzjarrell of Fort Smith pressed
an investigation in an effort to
determine the cause of the blast
which occurred approximately
1,700 feet under ground.
The badly burned bodies were
removed from the mine before
midnight and taken to Heavener,
Okla., and Hartford, Ark., mort
uaries. The mine is a few miles
cast of the Oklahoma border.
OF REVOLT PLOT
Vichy. France, Aug. 28. lP)
The French government dis
closed today what it called a
British Inspired rebellion In
France'! African empire.
The government declared that
"all necessary dispositions have
been taken to localize the situa
tion." (General Charles de Gaulle,
recognized by Britain as the
leader of "free Frenchmen." an
nounced yesterday that the gov
ernor of Chad, French territory
in the heart of Africa, had noti
fied him of a decision to fight
on at the side of the British,
rather than yield to the Vichy
government.)
A communique said that this
was not the first time that Brit
ain had attempted to Influence
French colonies in Africa, re
ferring to a British offer of pro
tection for all parts of the
French empire which sided with
her after France's armistice with
Germany and Italy.
The communique also referred
to British Prime Minister Chur
chill's offer shortly before the
armistice to make Britain and
France one country, with com
mon citizenship.
This, the communique said,
was incompatible with French
interests.
Salem, Ore., Aug. 28 '.TV
Western women have changed
their views on conscription and
defense since last spring, Mar
ian Martin of Bangor, Me., said
yesterday.
The assistant chairman in
charge of the national Republi
can party's women's division
told an interviewer that when
she was here last spring the
ivomen favored "strict isola
tion." The women of the west now
favor a strong defense and the
tendering of all possible aid to
Great Britain short of men.
'The nation no longer is sec
tional on defense matters," she
added.
' 'She said Republican women
believe that "when experts like
the army men and leaders like
Mr. Willkie favor the principles
of conscription, there It no other
course open."
Miss Martin was here to at
tend the ceremony notifying
Chart s L. MeNary of the Re
publican vice-presidential nomination.

the Ex-
El-
nouncement that will please El
sle fans the country over.
In response to insistent
mands, Elsie was guest at
Golden Gate International
position last week-end.
Elsie is no ordinary cow.
sie is in a class which other
cows of history such as Mrs.
O'Lrary's lamp-upsctting bossle.
or the high-jumping bovine of
story book renown, could never
hope to attain. For that reason
producers of Elsie's picture are
reluctant to let her out of their
sight. Realizing, however, that
she is public property. like any
other movie star, they consent
ed to give Elsie a week-off to
meet the folks on Treasure
island.
She'll arrive In San Francisco
on the Southern Pacifies
"Lark", be greeted and feted by
civic dignitaries, and escorted to
Treasure island for an elaborate
two-day program where every
fair visitor will be invited to
meet Elsie and Baby Beulah.
