BRITAIN, FRANCE AND BELGIUM FORM MILITARY ALLIANCE
BLOC IS REPLY
TO GERMANY
AND JAPAN
French Aid Pledged
In Case of Attack
On England
By MICHAEL WILSON
PARIS, Nov. 30 (I.N.S.).—lmme
diate French military aid for
Britain if England is attacked will
be pledged by Foreign Minister
Yvon Delbos this week, probably
Friday, before the chamber of
deputies, International News Serv
ice was informed today.-
Tantamount to declaration of a
Franco-Belgian-British entente in
answer to formation of the new
German-Japanese Italian bloc, Del
bos is expected to make his pledge
as strong as British Foreign Sec
retary Anthony Eden’s recent prom
ise that Britain would rush to the
aid of Belgium in an emergency.
Pledge of Mutual Aid
The western, pact that will thus
be proclaimed is considered here
a firm revival of the former
British-French entente —with Bel
gium included as a result of Eden’s
statement —and another striking
proof that Europe’s so-called “col
lective security” is as dead as
Premier Mussolini termed it, and
is fast being replaced by another
system of alliances.
Under the new alignment, the
Franco-British entente and the
Franco-Soviet pact will be arrayed
in opposition to the German-
Italian and German-Japanese ac
cords. A reciprocal guarantee of
mutual aid in the event either
nation is attacked will form the
basis of the Franco-British entente,
it was learned.
Extra point was lent Delbo’s
forthcoming pronouncement when
it was recalled the French and
British general staffs conferred
last spring on plans for mutual
aid in the event of war.
At the same time, War Minister
Edouard Daladier, in a fighting
speech at Neubourg in Normandie,
served notice on Germany and
Japan that France is ready for
action.
While Frenchmen were still
digesting the words of Premier
Leon Blum that France, next to
Russia, has the most powerful
military force on the continent,
Daladier declared:
“France will bend before no
force. We are profoundly pa
cific, but we won’t beg for peace.
Angered by repeated insinua
tions that the French army is
well equipped but that its morale
is poor, Daladier declaimed:
“Despite all menaces, French
men, be assured!
"Don’t lend your ears to panic
talk. The morale of our army
was never better. Regardless of
what is said, our arms were
never more powerful.”
Mrs. Simpson Sets
Jewelry Fashion
LONDON, Nov. 20 (1.N.5.)/
Mrs. Wallis Warfield Simpson was
credited today with still another
fashion innovation —the wearing
of a thick gold neckband to set
off black ensembles.
The neckband she has been seen
wearing fastens at the front with
an embossed catch, set with emer
alds, rubies, and other colored
gems. The only other jewelry
she wears with this costume is a
matching bracelet.
Mrs. Simpson made many pub
lic appearances last week, with
no attempts at seclusion except
the protection from photographers
afforded by a detective who sits
beside her chauffeur.
Among her public appearances
were luncheons at the Ritz and
Claridge, a personal shopping tour
on Piccadilly, and dinner at a
quiet restaurant in Jermyn Street
with a party of four, the host
Claim 200 Miles
Per Gallon on
Carburetor
TORONTO, Ont., Nov. 30
(1.N.5.). —Secret tests were re
ported progressing today on a new
"mystery carburetor’’ which, its
backers claim, can drive an auto
mobile 200 miles on a gallon of
ordinary gasoline.
The inventor is said to be
Charles Pogue, of Winnipeg, who
hes been working on the device
for 17 years.
Current tests are being carried
out amid great secrecy in the
home of John E. Hammell, noted
mining man. where Pogue’s labora
tory is located. Hammell said:
“They’re knocking this thing
now. I never saw an engineer
yet who didn’t pooh-pooh any
thing new.”
Hammell added:
“Pogue told me the carburetor
could be stepped up to 400 miles
to the gallon.”
W. D- Herridge, former Cana
dian minister at Washington, is;
reported handling the patents for I
Pogue.

Many Alarms Here
In the District, 68 alarms were
turned in during the 24 hours be

and added that if the alarms pro

record for November, about 700
calls, will have been exceeded.
The 68 alarms during the 24-

IN VIRGINIA
Science today was one link
closer to a better understanding
of animal evolution with the an
nouncement by Dr. Charles E.
Resser, Smithsonian Institution
paleontologist, that he had dis
covered a large deposit of lime
stone rocks in the Appalachian
Mountains in Southwestern Vir
ginia bearing fossils of cup
shaped “archaeocyathinae,” called
“cup-bearers.”
These ancient animals, which
are closely allied to the algae
plants, are said to have lived
more than 500,000,000 years ago
at the beginning of the Cam>
brian geologic era. They devel
oped many forms and some of
the species collected by Dr. Res
ser look like lead pencils, some
like tiny demitasse, and others
not unlike wine glasses and cof
fee mugs.
The archaeocyathinae lived off
the low-lying Cambrian shores
and, like the corals, extracted
lime from the sea waters and
built up calciferous outer skele
tons. Aside from the algae, they
were the first reef builders.
The importance attached to
this new discovery is that many
scientists believe they may con
stitute the intermediate linking
between the sponges, supposedly
the crudest organization of single
cells into an animal body, and the
coelenterates, represented by the
corals, in which the organization
reached the point of primitive di
gestive system and the beginning
of a nervous system.
Was destroyed, after neighbors
managed to salvage a few of her
household belongings.
Fire Damage Slight
At Villa Roma
Fire did slight damage to the
Villa Roma, on the Rockville Pike,
this morning. A defective flue was
blamed. The blaze started when
workmen, repairing the building,
lit a fire in a fireplace to keep
themselves warm.
Engines from the Bethesda Fire
Department extinguished the fire.

The President stood on the com
