PAGE SIX ALTON EVENING TELEGRAPH U. Action Looms, Capital Feels Continued From Page 1. ociety. released by the White House last nleht disclosed that HMS Prince of Wales and Hie USS Augusta had figured in the conferences. Famed Warships Both are warships of reputation.

The Prince of Wales, one of the newest battleships in the Royal navy, was commissioned since the war and played big role In thc death hunt of thc Nazi dread- nauRht, Bismarck. The Augusta, a cruiser, was the flagship of the S. Asiatic souarlron during the Sino-Japanese fighting there in the curly thirties. The White House pictures also disclosed the large number of high American and British officials who had gathered at sea for the unprecedented series of conferences. For the United States there were Sumner Welles, undersecretary of state; General George C.

Marshall, army chief of staff; Admiral Harold R. Stark, chief of naval operations; Admiral Ernest J. King, commander of the U. S. Atlantic fleet; Harry L.

Hopkins, lease-lend administrator; W. Averell Harriman, has been handling lease-lend matters in London; Rear Admiral Ross T. Mclntire; Brigadier General Edwin M. Watson, the President's military aide, and Captain John R. Bcardall, the President's naval aide.

British Array Impressive The array of Britishers was equally Sir John Grcer Dill, chief of the Imperial staff; Admiral Sir Dudley Pound, first sea lord; Beaverbrook; Sir Wilfred Freeman, vice chief of the British air staff, and Sir Alexander Cadogan, British foreign undersecretary. A few vivid glimpses of the conferences at sea appeared in the London Dally Mall in a dispatch from its correspondent, Walter Farr, "somewhere on the American Atlantic coast." The President and prime minister sat on the sunlit deck of a warship, Farr wrote, "with seagulls wheeling around. "Occasionally the drone of a big American flying boat patrolling the skies was heard. The navy was taking no chances." Besides the planes droning overhead, the account reported, a constantly moving circle of destroyers, patrol boats and other small naval vessels formed a precautionary cordon around the conference ship. A high American official who participated In the conferences was quoted by the dispatch to this effect: Happy "At the conferences it was hard to tell which looked President or Mr.

Churchill. "They knew each other well by talking, for montfts oft the trans- Atlnntfc telephone, so. they were like two old friends meeting." After an exchange of greetings, the dispatch related, the two plunged into eager conversation. "Officials left them and for more than an hour they talked alone with their ship rocking gently on the Atlantic swell. "Afterwards Mr.

Churchill looked almost boyish as he went into the conference cabin. His aides followed with a great, quantity of documents including many maps. "Mr. Churchill was well wrapped up although the weather was. not very cold.

The President wore a llfiht striped summer suit. Most, of the time the two men ware together the President had on a broad-brimmed, flopping fisherman's hat. Wore Peaked Cap "Mr, Churchill, of course, was wearing that peaked cap of his which everyone knows. "During the talks Mr. Churchill constantly puffed at hU of which he had brought along a plentiful supply.

The President smoked cigarettes In his long ele gant holder." With Alton Boys In the Service Transferred to Aberdeen, Md. Sidney M. Drake, son of Mr. and Mrs. S.

PERSONAL Roosevelt-Churchill accord which envisioned the aggressor nations "after the destruc- Ion of the Nazi tyranny." All Germany and Indeed all of Europe, these sources said, are terested in an answer by President Roosevelt to the following ques- Questions for RooMvelt there to freedom of the seas for all nations large or small?" you ready to give up your military bases and raze your fortresses? you give up your program of a two-ocean fleet? you and Churchill renounce your monopoly on the raW materials of the earth? you restore their colonies to the peoples "of Europe who have the rightful title to them? you propose to revalidate the Monroe doctrine and do you recognize a Monroe doctrine for others? are you prepared to do against the Bolshevik danger threatening Europe? you prepared to put an end to the blockade war and''tO strangling economic measures?" Expect Further Moves Meanwhile, diplomatic circles in the capitals of the world voiced the opinion that the "Atlantic charter" would soon produce more startling developments than the joint declaration of peace aims. British sources likened the meeting to the conferences between Adolf Hitler and Premier Mussolini which have kept the world guessing, and expressed confidence that far-reaching decisions had been made which would be disclosed only at the right moment.

Tokyo reflected a similar belief and some quarters there asserted that a plan of joint military action against Japan to thwart her am billons for establishing an Asiatic "co-prosperity sphere" undoubtedly had been discussed. In Rome, Fascist circles also adopted a contemptuous attitude, saying they did not see how the declaration would disturb the efforts of the Axis powers. Beds Broadcast Text Though no reaction was available immediately from Moscow, the Soviet radio broadcast a complete text of the Roosevelt-Churchill dec laration and Russian circles in Lon, don indicated they were well pleased. Netherlands government circles In London also displayed satisfaction. Mexico's reaction, swiftly voiced by her foreign minister, was one of complete approval.

Words of, approbation also came from govern ment officials in Canada and New Zealand. In Argentina, Buenos Aires newspapers applauded the' declaration enthusiastically. Said El Mundo, It "should receive the warmest adherence from all men of good will. All governments and peoples ol America trust "many benefits wilt come from the tjvo great men who spoke in behalf of two great nations."
