\ » < ------------- : ----------- - ------- — I WAR FLASHES TQKYO REPLIES TO UNITED STATES INQUIRY W A S H IN G T O N :-—Japan informed the 'U. -S. today that troop concentrations In French Jndo-China were in full ac cord with' an agreement between Japan- and Vichy. The reply to President * Roosevelt's request, handed to Hull by Nomura and Kurusu, sflid tfjat reports of troop concentra tions were greatly exaggerated. In the original agreement ..... \between Tokyo and Vidhy, 25,000 Japanese troops were to be stationed in Indo-China, but because terms of the agreement were not made public, it is thought possible that the Japs obtained further concessions. Estimates are that there .are now 130,000 Japanese in Indo-China. Japan indicated through official sources that she wishes to continue peace negotiations with the U. S. in hope of obtaining more friendly relat|on^>in the Pacific. JAPAN LAUNCHES SHIP BUILDING PROGRAM L O N D O N — A London spokesman said that Japan is building at least five battleships, up to 40,000 tons, and that two may already be in service. It is understood that a large part of Japan's navy is in southern waters near French Indo-China, about whose presence nothing was said in the Japanese reply to the U. S. _____ _ - - -r■ ' - - k ' NAZIS CALL CRIMEAN RESERVES M O S C O W — Reserves called up from the Crimea stiffened German resistance near Mariupol where the Nazis have been in full retreat since the evacuation of Rostov. German pressure, however, on the Black Sea base of Sev astopol, may have been lessened by the move. TUNISIA MAY BECOME GERMAN BASE L O N D O N — Little Is known of the outcome of Petain's conference with Goering, because of heavily censored dis patches, but it is believed that the French may have agreed to allow Germany to use Tunisia. Best information is that Retain refused the use of the French fleet against the British, declaring that it would be used only to protect the French empire. It is known the collaboratgrs\4iscussed the possibility of an American invasion in Africa. D. A. R. MEMBERS HEAR TALK < O N PHILIPPINES Beaverhead chapter Daughters l of the American Revolution met Wednesday afternoon in the home of Mrs. T. F. McFadden. Main feature of the program was a talk > by Mrs. Theresa R. Landon ■ of Reichle, former resident of the Philippine Islands, who spent sev- i eral years as a teacher there. She displayed many lovely pieces of linen and brass that she had ac quired on the islands. Mrs. Landon’s topic “America’s' Stake in the Philippines,” covered ! the planning and problems. the I Americans had faced in bringing education, higher standards of liv- ig, and health to the Philippines. She stated that the United States was not out so much- in money for their work there as the’Phil ippines had paid for most of their improvements. She spoke of their strategic defense position in the Pacific and how theÿ had improv ed communications and fortifica tions to make defense of the is lands possible. Most of the fields of education and health have been taken over now by the natives of the islands and only a few United States leaders are found in the schools and hospitals, Mrs. Landon said. Following a s h o r t business meeting conducted by Mrs. D. L. Johnson, regent, a lunch was I served by the hostess. i HAVE SON— i .Word has been received of the i birth of a son to Mrs. Floyd tfr- | schel of Great Falls on Nov. 2i. | Mrs. Urschel is the former' Eileeh ; Jackson of this city. . • ___ \\ . rr-rz- W.

Commands RAF in Libyan Drive British Army's Fastest Climber Rapid rising Maj.-Gen. Archi bald Edward Nye has advanced from the rank of private to his new post as vice chief of Brit ain’s imperial general staff in, only 26 years, an achievement surpassed only once in modern • British military annals. STOCKMEN TO AID IN FOOD FOR FREEDOM DRIVE Stockmen who market Increased numbers of cattle this year, dur ing 1942 will help achieve Mon tana’s food for freedom livestock marketing goal and at the same time help conserve the state’s ranges and contribúte to a health ier long-time market outlook, Chairman J. C. Ferguson of the Beaverhead county USDÁ defense board states. The progress that has been made in the past few years toward restoring M o n t a n a ’ s depleted ranges is now being threatened by rapidly increasing livestock num bers. At1 the beginning of 1941 there were 1,273,000 cattle in Mon tana as compared with a 21-year average of 1,269,000 head. If the 1941 increase is as large as that of 1939 or 1940, the cattle popula tion on Jan. 1, 1942, will be close to a million and a half head. This, plus an estimate of four million sheep in the state on Jan. 1, 1942, would bring Y livestock numbers dangerously close to the 1934 peak. Probably our improved ranges permit slightly heavier stocking than previously under normal con ditions but if a decreased demand or a drouth year or a combina ro n of the two should cc/me while ranges are stocked to capacity, it would mean forced liquidation with consequent hardship on the entire industry. By reaching the 18 per cent increase in beef and vékl marketings asked by the'Montank USDA defense board for 1942 over 1940, Montana cattlemen will check the upward trend in cattle numbers next year and prevent over-expansion in the industry. Beaverhead county cattlemen are asked to increase their marketings over 1940 by 27 jp\fct <*riL • .— -—- • , - „ , Mr.andMin.W. ¿L $rpm p aon o f L rtevieW are spending a few d a j^ m ? f> iiioti w h ere Mr. Thomp son l q j | ip ó e iv i m edical attention.
