Diplomat have been reporting to their governments that Britain shows no inclination of wanting peace talks now. They have been expressing the conviction that Germany will fail to conquer Britain by invasion.

They hold also that a formidable invasion of Germany or of Ger- man-occupied regions appears most improbable. They expect big air raids in which grave damage will be inflicted on both countries, but they believe that these raids will be indecisive.

P. convention in Philadelphia). Thomas Wilson, 17, York youth who had admitted two thefts' at Columbus and one at York was ordered re-committed to the state industrial school in Kearney by Judge Louis Lightner following a brief hearing yesterday on a juvenile court complaint filed by County Attorney Jesse L. Dougherty. Wilson admitted entering the Coryell service station at Seventh street and Thirty-third avenue June 20, taking a pistol and watch, and appropriating the Ronald Min or automobile June 21 at River-view Inn, abandoning it near Aurora.

Sheldon explaining the purpose of the current call for funds to alleviate suffering of European civilian war victims). Q. Is the U. S. Government not giving the Red Cross $50,000,000 to use for war relief? A.

No. A bill has been introduced in congress providing for that amount of credit for the purchase of certain excess commodities in this country and the Red Cross has been asked to handle the distribution of such supplies. This would help on the food situation but will not meet the need for the other things the Red Cross is providing. Q. Does the Red Cross have representatives in Europe at this time? A.

The understanding of the local chapter is that Germany has permitted one Americacn Red I Cross representative in Poland to I supervise distribution and that there are six or eight other per- 1 sons in other countries aiding in general relief supervision, but there has been no general sending of personnel. Q. Is the American Red Cross the only such organization helping in world-wide relief of suffering this time? A. We do not have the figures i for aid at the present time but are advised that Red Cross societies of 27 countries helped in the Finnish Relief and in the recent Turkish earthquake, some 20 countries including the Red Cross organizations of Germany and Russia joined in sending aid. We presume that at least an equally large number are helping at the present time.
