Father Takes Witness Stand By Canadian frt NANAIMO, B.C.. Oct. 24. William Rice was given protection under the Canada Evidence Act Monday night when he testified at the trial of Simeon McLean, 20, Indian, charged with murdering Rice's daughter Isabella, 5. Rice and his wife both testified that there had been considerable drinking at Reservation homes on the day before their daughter disappeared May 7.

Hull said It appeared there was a question of force involved, since the "City of Flint" was taken in hand by a belligerent, a new crew Installed and a belligerent flag raised on the vessel. He pointed out that a belligerent ordinarily takes prize into its own port, but in this instance that procedure was not followed. The news seemed to have a profound influence on many Senators engaged in debating the administration's Neutrality Bill which would place drastic restrictions on American ships entering war zones and repeal the arms embargo.

But, for the most part, the Senators would say nothing. Experts on international law saw the incident as raising for immediate definition the actual relation of Russia with Germany. They suggest that if Russia permits German military authorities to take prizes of war into her ports, she would find her position as a neutral endangered.

It is possible now to give what is believed to be an authen estimate of Germany's Ribbentrop Von Ribbentrop said that only a few months after Hitler's assumption of power in 1933 a secret meeting had been arranged between the Fuehrer and French Premier Daladier to attempt to settle French German differences.

(Daladier was Premier from January to October, 1933.) The Foreign Minister claimed that at Britain's instigation the, meeting was called off at the last minute by the French, and Daladier was ousted from the premiership because, he held, the British feared "the French front fighter and man of the people, Daladier, might find a real basis for agreement with front fighter and man of the people Hitler." niTLER "ALMS" The Nazi Foreign Minister said Hitler's policy frofm 1933 on was one of coming to terms with Britain on the following basis: 1. A naval agreement. 2. An eternal mutual guarantee of the inviolability of the borders of Belgium, The Netherlands and France. 3.

Whelan, one of the ship's gun crew, said a shell from the vessel holed the U-boat and damaged its diving apparatus so that it could not submerge. When the attack came, Whelan said, "we rushed to our guns and returned the U-boat fire. The fight continued for over an hour. "Two hours later we found that our ship was holed on the water-line while our starboard lifeboat was full of shrapnel holes, so we headed for port.
