13 Nazis said Germany was through with Chamberlain and Daiadier but were still awaiting neutral a response to Reichstag speech or any such ac tion by neutral nations, among whom they said they regarded the United States as the only one powerful enough to do some- thing effective. However, it must come from them not as a result of any diplomatic action or request of Germany. They reported this interpretation of position was made after two developments; one, Dr. Otto Dietrich, the German press chief and one of eldest advisors, told a small group of foreign correspondents that he thought only the United States yet Intervene to prevent most gruesome bloodpath in history" and two. the official press release on Chamberlain's speech said that Britain ed the hand of peace stretched out to him by the Fuehrer and that war aims meant i war against the German people and war against the German Reich unto HITLER IS PREPARED BERLIN.

Foreign correspondents were told today, emerging from a con ference with Hitler that Dr. Otto Dietrich, the press chief, declared that the United States could put an end to the! war if she unequivocably told Great Britain that she wcu'd not: support her unless she made efforts to settle the problems at issue first made at the council table.

rintendents of the many -pas men's and exhibits proudly displayed their booths and the great crowd later assembled to witness the showing of 8 mm. amateur movie Dancing was indulged in during the evi ning and the refreshment booths did a land office business. Directors of the Fair Board were everywhere attending to last minute adjustments.

In case you were not fortunate enough to attend the Fair last night, you should by all means be there tonight.

Troy resigned August 29 to become effective October 15. Gruen ing was appointed but his nomination was not expected to go to the Senate until after the neutral ity bill is disposed of.

AMBASSADOR KENNEDY CHEERED IN LONDON Britishers packed streets and sidewalks surrounding the London Foreign Office to cheer Joseph Kennedy (left) Ambassador to London as he left after a conference with Prime Minister Cha mberlain and Foreign Secretary Halifax. (This picture cabled from London to New York) I CAS MASK IN BRIDAL WHIT their gas masks in special containers painted white to match the gown, Denise Wright, an English girl, and Serge Cadler, a man, leave Church of Notre Dame de France after their wedding ceremony.

But the bride didn't forget her bouauet of lilies, too. The bridegroom left next day for war duty in France. Fair Notes First nighters on hand last night for the opening of the Six th Anual Fair saw one of the best collections of exhibits ever put on display here The antique booth is showing a collection of primitive Eskimo implements which are truly museum pieces, most of which were brought back by Ira Rank from his trading trip to Barrow. Most interesting to us was a whalebone mask taken from the skull of a skeleton found in an ice village which was recently unearthed, and a ceremonial gadget of some kind (we pretend to be authorities on this sort of thing) made of wood and found in a i place where even drift wood is rarer than rubies. And fail to see the copper kettle and the picture of Fort St.

Michael; which dates from the time of She Russian occupation and are an display in the same booth. We note that Mrs. Mazen was standing guard militantly over ter household economics booth, though all the displays vere wrapped in cellophane and seemed well protected from mau rauders. Since the judging of the entries took place this morning nay be she could be persuaded to 'un in competition with the re concession tonight.

We bought the puppets made by the "Sthird grade were particularly cute, and we liked the tiny fur doll clothes displayed in the Nat ive School Division. The wolf who occupied the large skin which dominated the fur display would have been an interesting creature to meet on a dark night We may be poor at guessing weights and measures, but this one was six feet long in his stocking feet. The flower booth is a credit to the horticulturists of the frozen north Showiest specimen is the five-foot begonia and among the prettiest are two small window boxes of asters. The failure of the Meteor to arrive on schedule was hard on the vegetable booth as this display is made up large ly of exhibits from St. Michael and Unalakleet.

The handicraft department is a temptation to the domestic soul There is an unbelievable outwork table cloth shown in the exact center of the back wall and a group of quilts hung as a back drop which would make any mouth water. Lssaac Nome sons were gathered in rapt worship before the fish booth. Rods reels creels spinners all the equipment for properly pursuing the trout and greyling are array there.
