James Millar of Portland ivas guest speaker at the Lions tlub meeting Tuesday, ana gave ne of the best addresses of the leason, choosing the topic 'Dominating Desires In Eu rope." According to Millar, they have been, are, and will be prosperity, territorial expansion ma security. He also claimed that if the Atlantic charter is carried out, It will add to the complications of the peace, but that it is ac tually very necessary. Dr. Millar urged understand. Ing of these forces as they have ipplied in Europe for the past 100 years, and showed that the thinking in one's country is lolving many of the problems of the future. He particularly warned against allowing "mushy-minded, emotional sen timentalists" to control or Influ ence the thinking in the coun try concerning peace terms. He stated that the three fourths of Germany's income for eight years was spent pre paring for war, but had they spent the same amount for eco nomic developments, the stabili ty might have been attained for Germany without resorting to war. Fear of each other has creat ed the psychological effect of forcing some countries to war, according to Dr. Millar, and he stated that while the treaty of Versailles was far from perfect, it was a definite step toward removing the psychological causes for European wars. In conclusion. Dr. Millar stressed three steps necessary, to be taken by America to pre pare for the future military preparedness, the acceptance of economic responsibility and high moral standards. Chairman of the day was Wesley McNee, and Dr. Millar Was introduced by the Reverend Victor Phillips. Visitors at the meeting included Bruce Bink ley, Keith Bates, Ray Wimer, R. P.

"The allies continued to sink the enemy undersea craft in widely-separated parts of the world," the monthly joint state ment ot the Anglo-American leaders said.

GROVER COLOMBO, Ceylon, July 14 (Delayed) (JP) A handful of sur vivors reported today that United States merchant seamen and soldiers wcro bayoneted, shot and clubbed to death in a mid-ocean orgy by tho crew. of a Japanese submarine which torpedoed a liberty ship, Of tho ship's complement of 100, 23 survived. Torpedoed in the Indian ocean 600 miles from Colombo on June 11, the liberty ship began sinking quickly. The crew aban doned it in good order, taking to lifeboats and rafts. Hulf an hour later the Japanese sub marine surfaced, rounded up all tho survivors and ordered them aboard. Agree on Dotails Capt. John J. Gussuk, of Brooklyn, N. Y a military po lice officer, attested to the truth ot the survivors' stories. All were in complete agreement on details; Their composite story, with some gruesome details omitted: As the survivors complied with the order to board tho sub marine's dock, the Japanese set their lifecrnft adrift and strip ped them of their llfejackels. Then they confiscated pens, wristwatches and all other valu ables. One seaman, slow to obey an order, was shot in cold blood. Hands Tied Tho hands of tho entire group were tied behind backs with rope and wire. All were forced to sit on the foredeck facing forward, heads bowed. Any who turned or lifted their heads were beaten by Japanese sea men with clubs. One by one, the turkey-tied captives were selected at ran dom and conducted to the dock aft of tho conning tower. Charles Pyle, of Lodl, Calif., first engineer who survlvod tho ordeal of the afterdeck, describ ed tho procedure. He said a double row of Japanese formed. Armed with clubs, rono ends and bayonets, the Japanese forced their victims to run a gauntlet. At least one was bay oneted through the belly. Skulls Crushed At the far end of tho gaunt let, a Japanese seaman untied with an Inch thick steel billy club waited for any groggy Yankee completing tho torture run. He swung the billy and bashed in the skulls of his vic tims and kicked their bodies overboard. Pyle miraculously survived when ho received n long cut on the scalp from a bayonet slash and dived overside. The Jap anese apparently thought he was finished and made no effort to fish him out. Survivors said tho torture rites continued until mora than half of those conducted after wcro murdered. They were un- Get More Comfort For Standing Feet With A Dally I co-Mint Treat ?
