Tlr. 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. Oliver, Carl Farrens, How
ard Esplund and Lt. Earl Green
of the army air corps.

U-boat warfare "flared into re

Minister Churchill so reported

creased activity by German sub
marines as "but another index
that the European war is far
from over."
They said allied losses of mer
chant shipping increased, but
despite the losses "the United
Nations arc regularly continu
ing to supply their expanding
armies over the world, enabling
them to resist the attackers or
drive back the foe."
"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.
"The announcement of the
recent landing of enemy agents
from a U-boat on the Maine
coast is yet another indication
that the menace of Germany's
undersea fleet is real and con

Survivors Tell of Toriure
Run Forced by Jap Capiors
By JOHN S. 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-
