sent only
to Hitler.
Although no explanation was
forthcoming, the reason was obvious.
Mr. Roosevelt issued his first peace
appeal Monday. It, like the second,
pleaded for a continuance of nego
tiations to avert a resort to force. II
went to Germany, Czechoslovakia,,
France and Great Britain,
All but Germany responded' en
thusiastically with a pledge to keep
the negotiations going. Finally, Tues
day, came word from Hitler that with
the submission of his latest terms,
now rejected by the Czechs, the pos
sibility of a solution by agreement
was “exhausted.”
So, in that situation, Mr. Roosevelt
addressed his next appeal to Hitler
only. He acknowledged the receipt ot
the fuehrer’s reply and said he had
been confident that Hitler would
agree with him that an “incalculable
disaster” would result from an out
break of hostilities.
"The question before the world war
today, Mr. Chancellor, is not tho
question of errors of judgment or ot
injustices committeed in the past,” he
said. “It is the question of the world
today and tomorrow. The world asks
of us who at this moment are heads
of nations the supreme capacity to
achieve the destinies of nations with
out forcing upon them, as a price,
the mutilation and death of millions
of citizens.
Resort to force in the great wa:
failed to bring tranquility. Victory
and defeat were alike sterile. That;
lesson the world should have learned”
Reviewing his first peace appeal in
a single paragraph: That the Ger-
man-Czech row should be settled by
negotiation and that the “threatened
alternative of the use of force ... is
as unnecessary as it is unjustifiable”
Mr. Roosevelt continued:
“My conviction on these two points
is deepened because responsible
statesmen have officially stated that
an agreement in principle has al
ready been reached between the gov
ernment of tho German reich and the
government of Czech, although the
precise time, method and detail of
carrying out that agreement remain
at issue.”
“This statement was made by Ne
ville Chamberlain, prime minister of
Great Britain, in an international ra
dio speech.
“Whatever existing differences may
be, and whatever their merit® may
be—and upon them I do not and need
not undertake to pass—my appeal
was solely that negotiations be con-
tiued until a peaceful settlement .is
found, and that thereby a resort to
force be avoided,” Mr. Roosevelt add
ed.
After saying that Hitler held the
power to keep negotiations open and
confer-
momlng ih a’ com
field a mile and a half from her
hopie.
Chief of Police L. D. Sandifer said
the (body was found by a farmer, at
tracted to the spot by the barking of
his dog.
Badly decomposed, the body was
found approximately 30 feet from
where death was thought to have oc
curred, Chief Sandifer theorizing that
unimals dragged the body after the
woman had died. He based his theory
he said on the fact that some ar
ticles of clothing were found some
distance from the body.
He expressed the opinion Mrs.
Price had not died a violent death.
The woman, mother of three sons,
disappeared from her home the morn
ing of Aug. 16 after purchasing gro
ceries from a local store. The disap
pearance was discovered by neigh
bors when they found the unopened
grocesies on her kitchen table two
days later.
A coroner's jury was empanelled
shortly after the body was found to
day, and returned a verdict that the
woman came to her eath by “causes
unknown.”
Shortly Rfter her absence was not
ed last month, residents of this
Emanuel county town joined in an
'extensive search for the missing
woman, searching in the wooded
areas near here. Sheriff George Har
wich of Treutlen county and Sheriff
P. L. Yeomans of Emanuel directed
searching parties.
Although large groups scoured this
section of the county, the search was
fruitless.
Chief Sandifer said while!no or
ganized search had continued since a
few days after the woman was report
ed missing, he and county authori
ties still were investigating ,the dis
appearance when he received word
that' the body had been found.
' He said Willie Pool, a tenant farm
er, discovered it while pulling. com in
the field. The excited' barking,of his
dog caused him to investigate.

TWO BOYS SENTENCED
ON KIDNAPING COUNTS
Ellberton, Ga., Sept. 26 — Two
youths, identified by Deputy Sheriff
Mark Cleveland as Fred Gibson and
James Robertson, of near Greenville,
S. C., faced four-year state prison
sentences Monday on kidnaping
charges.
Cleveland said they pleaded guilty
before Judge Allison Saturday to
charge of kidnaping Ralph Brooks,
17, of Elberton, the night of July 16.
The youths were accused, the depu
ty said, of forcing Brooks to drive
them to Abbeville County, S. C.,
where they left him in a wooded
area with his hands and feet bound.
Called to the pastorship of the
First Baptist church in Waxhachie,
Tex., Dr. J. P. Boone left Macon
Tuesday for a conference with mem- suggesting an international
bees and leaders of the Texas church ence, if necessary, tbe president went
on to say:
“In my considered judgment, and
in the light of the experience of this
country, continued negotiations re
main the only way by which the im
mediate problem can be disposed of
upon any lasting basis.
“'Should you agree to a solution in
this peaceful manner I am convinced
that hundreds of millions throughout
the world would recognize your ac
tion as an outstanding service to hu
manity.
“Allow me to state my unqualified
conviction that history, and the souls
of every man .woman and child whose
lives will be lost on the threatened
war will hold us and ad of us ac
countable should we o.mt a;,y appeal
for its prevention.”
Declaring that the United Stales
recognized no obligation in cornec-
1 1 or. with the negotiations, Mr.
Roosevelt said in .conclusion:
i “Yet in our own rignt we recog
nize our responsibilities as a part of
a world of neighbors.
“The conscience and the impelling
desire of the people of my country
demand that the voice of their gov
ernment be raised again and ’ yet
again to avert anti avoid war.”
Earlier in the day Hitler had re
plied to Mr. Roosevelt’s first appeal
in language which disturbed many
of those who still hoped war might
be averted.
1 counted bodies, row upon sicken
ing row of them, stretched out in the
old town high school after the city’s
morgues were filled. When I left at
4 o’clock this morning there were 74
dead and almost 100 missing.
At Misquamicut Beach, .where ordi
nary people from all New England
came to spend their summers, all that
was left of a colony of almost 600
homes, stores and markets were the
gaunt skeletons of five cottages.
Only five left from 600.
At fashionable Watch Hill, palatial
yachts were strewn helter-skelter
along Main Street.There, too, at least
26 cottages on Fort road, most ex
clusive street of that exclusive colony
were tossed into Narragansett Bay.
National guardsmen tramped the
darkened streets of Westerly’s busi
ness district, called out when fear of
looting spread. The city was a tur
moil as police, Red Cross and volun
teers sought to restore order from
the chaos, handicapped by flood wa
ters four feet deep and paralization
of essential services. For two days
they were unable to send out pleas
for help.
I saw summer playgrounds of rich
and working men like turned into a
shambles, and heard the, cries of
friends and neighbors struggling on
the rooftops of homes swept out to
sea. Some I later counted among the
lows of dead. Others I never expect
to see alive again.
There were heroes among those
gone.
Alvin Mawson, one of my closest
friends, dashed into the turbulent wa
ters to reach his wife, trapped in
their home on the ocean front. Al
vin’s body was found yesterday. His
ivife is still missing.
My prayer was among others that
went up from a band on shore for
Ralph Bliven as he held precariously
to a flimsy raft with one other. I
heard his cry of anguish as his moth
er and sister were dased from the
tame flimsy raft as he was helpless
to save them. He and the baby were
saved.
Among those endangered when the
waves engulfed Watch Hill was Geof
frey L. Moore. Westerly manufactur
er. In bed wtih a heart attack when
the wave struck, Moore, his wife and
four children and four servants clung
to the roof of the house for four
hours before rescuers picked them up
m the bay.
Such scenes were only a few of
those hours of terror.
Darknes fell as the storm was dy
ing With other volunteers I searched
by flashlight thru the ruins. Frantic
men and women joined in the rush
lo view each newly found body,
searching for missing loved ones and
fearful of what they might find.
Sleepless men and women were
just beginning to get abreast of the
rescue work in Westerly itself when
1 left. On the beaches breasting the
sea it will be days before there can
be any rest.
