also gave prominent space to the
story told by survivors of the tor-

Oslo that a British trawler had
sunk the submarine which attacked
their ship.

day night that each one must look
individually to big powers to keep
them out of Europe's war.
Sources close to the Yuogslavian
Rumanian, Turkish and Greek dele-
gations to the entente conference
here confirmed that their foreign
ministers, meeting Saturday, found
national interest* too strongly di-
vergent to permit extension of their
anti-Buigarian pact to save them
collectively from the warring big
powers.
Foreign Ministers Grigore Gafen-
eu of Rumania. Sukru Saracoglu of
Turkey, Alksander Cincar-Markovic
of Yuogslavia and Premier General
John Metaxas of Greece were un-
derstood to recognize frankly the
impossibility of making any im-

conference.
Even the Yugoslav - Rumanian
plan for "economic neutrality” was
understood to have petered out to
mere “suggestions" which each na-

Fog. drizzling rain and snow spread a belt of moisture south-
ward nearly to the Texas coast Saturday night following general
rains earlier which had left more than an inch of moisture m
many localities.
In Dallas at 10 p.m. the fog and drizzle had reduced visibility
to a little more than a mile and the fog cloud had reduced the
ceiling to 300 feet
Dallas' .60 inch rainfall brought the city’s two day total to
1.01 inch, a fifth of an inch more than the total for January.
Over the entire state wheat, ranges and fields u-ere bene-
fitted. The experiment sub station near Lubbock said the rams
had put soil there in almost a seed bed condition.
Throughout East Texas and much of West Texas rains Fri-
day and Saturday totaled more than an inch.

our life they have done.”

taking office. Stanley said that a
halt now would bring “no lasting
peace but only a troubled truce,”
with “no assurance for the present
and no security for the future.”

"Within a few rr <nths. at the most
within a few years," he said, "we
should find we had not won peace
