Greece
Metaxas Declares War on Fascists;
Athens Bombarded
ROME, Monday, Oct. 28 — (U.P.) — Italian troops were prepared to cross the Alban-ian-Greek frontier at 6 a.m. and may already have crossed, I it was learned early today.
The Italian blow fell with lightning rapidity and despite Greek efforts to patch up frontier incidents on the Albanian border alleged by the Italians.
The Italian minister handed the ultimatum to Premier Metaxas at 3 a.m.. requiring an answer within three hours. At 5 a.m. the Greek cabinet, in extraordinary session, rejected the Italian demands and ordered mobilization.
GREECE POWERLESS
Greece has virtually no army and without powerful aid would be overrun by Italy within a few days since Italy reportedly has more than 200,-000 troops poised in Albania.
Great Britain, however, has a powerful fleet in the eastern Mediterranean and is pledged to protect Greek independence and territorial intergrity.
The big port of Salonika—often called the “key to the Balkans”— undoubtedly will be the first objective of Italian forces, striving to seize and fortify it before it can be occupied by the British navy. Thus it appeared that Greece whether the Italians or British reach Salonika first—promptly will become a battleground upon which Italy and Britain will clash.

Japan to Get Mexican Mercury
MEXICO CITY. Oct. 27—<lr.R>— President Lazaro Cardenas has lifted the restrictions on the export of $200,000 worth of mercury to Japan, it was learned today.
The mercury, a precious war metal, was awaiting shipment from Nanzanillo, a port of the Pacific, when Cardenas issued a ruling on October 22 holding up delivery.
sue is “The Havana Conference” by Graham Stuart of Stanford university. Mr. Stuart explains that the quick acceptance of the program of political and economic cooperation planned at the conference from July 21 to July 30. 1940. was evidence of the acute realization on the part of American republics of the need to stand together against the totalitarian menace. POLYZOIDES CONTRIBUTES
Individually, the Latin-American states could hardly resist the pressure of German bartering, the writer believes. Collectively, however, with financial support from the United States, with commerce barriers eliminated, and with scientific study of economic possibilities, these countries should accomplish remarkable results in inter-American trade.
Adamantios Th. Polyzoides contributed “The War and America’s Destiny.” Mr. Polyzoides stressed ' the duty of America, as the leading world power, to face the task of | restoring the democratic values that national socialism has misappropriated and distorted.

Concerning Classification of Draftees

U.S. Relations Strengthened
With Canada
War Serves as Tie Between Countries, Stevenson Says
No longer do Canadians think of the United States as about to “swallow Canada.”
Tnis has been one of the brightest developments of the current war, according to Dr. Lionel Ste- , venson, assistant professor of English language and literature.
“The Canadians are enthusiastically in favor of the recent trade of over-aged destroyers for air , bases,” stated Dr. Stevenson who j has recently returned from Canada where he taught summer classes at the University of British Columbia and then presented a series of lectures in the eastern portion of the Dominion.
FEELING CHANGED
“There is no feeling that America got the better of the bargain, nor is there the thought that the United States ls preparing to ‘take over’ Canada, p. feeling that was prevalent in past years.
“Instead, they feel that it is a forward step which will lead to genuine, permanent, close understanding between the two. There is little feeling that Canada will suffer from this war, but a genuine belief that it will not come to the western hemisphere, and when the war is over Canada will take a more prominent place in the world picture.”
CANADA PREPARES
Canada’s role in the war so far, he said, is largely that of preparing men for aerial warfare and serving as a giant “jail” for the thousands of prisoners of war and interned civilians from England.
“However, one can readily see that Canada is a country at war,” asserted Dr. Stevenson. “At Vancouver, because of its location on the Pacific, there is a great deal of air training going on, both land and sea.
VANCOUVER FORTIFIED .
“Canada ls well fortified for any possible invasion. The two main trunk lines are thoroughly guarded, as I was constantly made aware as I traveled eastward. Each bridge, trestle, and culvert has its detachment of armed guards.
“Vancouver is well fortified for defense against sea attack, something that the University of British Columbia was unable to forget for an instant, for it is situated on a strategic point of land adjacent to the city where the government has located gun emplacements.
Classifications will be based on questionnaires that will be sent to each of the approximately 17.000.000 draft registrants in the order in which their serial number is drawn in the lottery. Each man will be placed in one of four general classifications: 1—available: fit for military service (anyone physically fit and otherwise unencumbered); 2— man necessary in his civilian activity; 3—man with dependents: 4— man deferred for legal reasons.
CONDITIONS LISTED
Under rules for class 2, the section emphasized in Dykstra’s latest announcement, a registrant shall be considered a “necessary man” in industry, business, employment, agricultural pursuit, governmental service, or any other senice or en-! deavor, including training or preparation therefor, only when all of these conditions exist:
“(A) He is. or but for a seasonal or temporary interruption would be, engaged in such activity; (B) he cannot be replaced satisfactorily because of shortage of persons with his qualifications or skill in such activity; -(C) his removal would cause a material loss of effectiveness in such activity.”
DYKSTRA ESTIMATES
Dykstra estimated that no questionnaires would be sent out to registrants until November 7. He suggested that all requests for occupational deferments of registrants employed in key jobs be postponed until after registrants have received questionnaires from local boards. Each employer will have five days after the questionnaire is mailed in which to file a deferment request.
A deferment request will not be considered until a registrant’s questionnaire has been completed and returned to the local board which will have jurisdiction in determining deferment, Dyks£ra pointed out. State advisors on occupational deferments have been appointed for each state and the District of Columbia and will maintain constant contact with local representatives from labor, industry, and agriculture in each state and the District of Columbia and will maintain constant contact with local representatives from labor, industry, and agriculture in each appeal board area.
STATE ADVISORS ASSIST
Dykstra said state advisors “will gladly assist employers in working out their problems with respect to deferment of essential employes.” He suggested that each employer list all registrants in his employ who do not have dependents, and determine which cannot be replaced if called for training.
Emphasizing that the question of occupational deferments rests with local boards. Dykstra said that while national headquarters is “vitally interested in keeping key men in essential jobs.” it cannot interfere under any circumstances with “a local board's inalienable right to decide whether its individual registrants should be deferred because of civilian occupations.”
A selective service spokesman said, in connection with Dykstra’s assurances to employers, that there is no need for an employment policy that will discriminate aaginst draft-age men.

Axis, Russian Heads Discuss Transport Rules
BUCHAREST. Oct. 27—(IIP)—German, Russian, Italian, and Rumanian representatives will meet here tomorrow to draw up new regulations covering transport on the Danube river in keeping with the new Balkan status.
Reports circulated that Germany would make me rearing use of the vital artery as a means ef communication as result of Rumania’s recent alignment under the Axis sphere of influence.
The newspaper Universal said that German interest in the Danube had become more vital than ever, particularly because of a new system of canals linking Germany with the Near East and the Black sea with the North sea.
Russia was understood to have made known on several occasions her claims to a part in control of the Danube, on the ground that Soviet shipping on that waterway had increased in recent years.
