mounted. Foreign Minister En-
i 1que Ruiz Guinazu Was sum-
moned by the chamber of depu-
tes for questioning on the Rio
'ercero Incident, Newspapers
emanded prompt diplomatic
ctlon against the Axis.
The situation was compli-
cated by the resignation of
pro-democratic President Ro-
berto M. Oritz, who had been
in semi-retirement for two
years. He will he succeed-
ed by Vice President Ramon
S. Castillo, who has served
us acting president since
Ortiz’s retirement.
Ortiz resigned because of par-
ial blindness and other ail-
nents. He said he had retained
he presidential title for two
'ears because he was “sure I
hus could hold off the danger
'f ideas and tendencies contra-
•y to the traditions of Argenti-
la.”
To Castillo, who has opposed
in open break with the axis,
Ortiz sent this message: “The
ifferences I might have had
vith you over sizing up and solv-
;ng domestic and diplomatic
problems have never affected
ny high personal consideration
if you.” '
Castillo will serve as presicl-
'nt unti Feb. 20, 1944, when the
next president will be inaug'irar-
ed.
Ortiz’ resignation was deiver-
d by his son, Jorge ,to the sen-
tte, which called a joint session
>f congress to consider it Sat-
urday.
Undersecretary of Foreign Af-
faires in Berlin had been in-
hat the Argentine charge d’af-
faires is Berlin had been in-
truded to protest the sinking
f the Rio Tercero to the Ger-
nany foreign office. He said
he note demanded “satisfaction
'or the Argentine flag, repara-
ion. damages and indemnity.”
Argentina demanded gnav-
•intees that its ships would
not be molested by German
submarines again, he dis-
closed, and its note asked a
formal German acknowled-
gement that Its ships would
be permitted to sail without
danger of attack in any sea,
“conforming with our neu-
tral status.”
Argentina and Chile are the
only American nations which
have not severed relations with
he axis countries in accordance
with the - resolution -approved
ly the conference of foreign
ninisters at Rio De Janeiro last
fanuary.”

ruh, the only remaining strong-
hold before Alexandria, the na-
val base 200 miles to the east.
If Marshal Erwin Rommel is
able to take Alexandria, the
Sue Canal is probably doomed
and the gateway opened to
the Near East and the Caucasus.
However, the British will
be in a stronger defensive
position at Matruh than
they were were within the
Libyan desert. It is a rail
head and can be kept easily
supplied, whereas Rommel's
communication lines will be
precariously stretched and
difficult to maintain.
Rommel’s strength is not fui
ly known, but there are indica-
tions that it is greater than had
been supposed. Through effec
five air power, he has been able
to run powerful reinforcements
across the Mediterranean to
Africa despite the British fleet.
There is now a delicate balance
of control of the eastern Medit-
erannean, as was shown by the
recent British difficulty in gelt
ing a convoy through to Mal-
ta.
• It is now known that both tin-
convoys involved were bound
for Malta, and not one of them
for Tobruk, as had been report-
ed, which shows the importance
the British attack to holding
Malta at any cost. If it falls,
the peril to Egypt will be in
creased.
The British are aware that
one-third of all German air
“strength is concentrated in the
Eastern Mediterranean and Nor-
th Africa. This is supplemented
by the entire Italian air force.
British claims of air superiority
in Libya were not borne out by
developments, particularly in
Rommels effective use of dive
bombers. ,
It is Hitler who has opened
a second front, rather than the
Allies.

missioned officers and 50 men,
’o whom education,' military
training, character and physical
itness are very important, Cap-
tain Darnell emphasized.
Several of the men who
helped organize the unit have
been called to military ser-
vice, others have taken de-
fense jobs in other places.
Consequently therp are sev-
eral vacancies in the unit
and recruits are wonted.
The group works under direc-
tion of county and city officials
tnd in the matter of guard and
patrol duty will work in coop-
eration with the police depart
ment.
The group will meet at 8 p. m.
tonight at the armory for their
regular weekly drill practice.
The armory is located up-
stairs at 207 Elm street in a
building being donated by W. H.
Jobe. A flagpole has been plac-
ed in front of the building and
the flag is raised there daily.
