French troops established garrisons in a strategic 12 mile strip of coastal territory between French Somaliland and Italian Eritrea, retaking an area once ceded to Italy. In Tunisia, French protectorate, troops were held in barracks and air- planes were made ready for immedi- ate flight in case of trouble.

Heavy artillery reinforcements were shipped aboard the liner Chen- onceaux from Marseille to Djibouti, French colonial seaport on the Gulf of Aden and one object of the clamor for concessions aroused by the Italian press and public. Italian forces along the frontier were reported to number 15,000.

Italians are known to have 60,000 troops in Libya against about 35,000 French soldiers in Tunisia. Military experts, however, rate Tunisia's de- fensesas strong enough to repel at- tack by forces numerically much larger. Reinforcements for the fortified line facing Libya have been moving from Tunis since Thursday. Forty- four warships of the French Mediter- ranean fleet have been in the Tuni-I sian port of Bizerte since yesterday. The area France formally occupied north of Djibouti covers only about' 308 square miles but is of great value for control of the Bab El Mandeb Straits, through which warships have to pass to reach the gulf of Aden from the Suez Canal and Red Sea. The strip on the coast is at the narrowest point of the straits. On the opposite coast, 43 miles across, is a tiny point of French territory- Sheik Said Peninsula-which juts out to clinch control of the bottleneck. France contended that Premier Mussolini himself gave the' French government justification for resum- ing possession of the territory, Of- ficials said Italy had fortified' her right to it by the denunciation last Dec. 22 of the 1935 French-Italian Treaty by which it was ceded to Italy.

Frank Murphy, the State's No. 1 exponent of the New Deal, and fell in line under the Aegis of Highway Commissioner Murray D. Van Wagoner today. In their spring convention here they overrode demands of other fac- tional leaders for election of a "com- promise" State chairman and choseI Van Wagoner's candidate, Charles S. Porritt of Detroit, to lead the party's campaign in Michigan in 1940. Among the convention's chief ac- tivities was the nomination for the two posts of Regents of the Univer- sity, open in the coming election, of Dr. Dean W. Meyers of Ann Arbor, and Charles C.

Chicago Beats Cagers, 3429, In Late Rally Tom Harmon Stars Again As Lowly Maroons Win Second Big Ten Game CHICAGO, Feb. 18-QP)-The Chi- cago Maroons, cellar occupants of the Big Ten Conference, upset 'Michigan, 34 to 29, tonight. Although Tom Harmon,' Michiganj sophomore forward, poured in six baskets to share scoring honors with Chicago's Joe Stampf, the visitors were unable to subdue the bottomj rung team, which won its second Conference victory of the season. Chicago held a lead of 18 to 16 at halftime and at no time in the9 game was there a difference of more than five points between the teams. After a minute of play' Stamp! connected from the free throw line, to start the scoring. Tom Harmon sank a one hander to nullify the Maroon's brief lead and after an over- the-head toss by Lounsbury, Harmon1 brought 'the Wolverines up again with a long bucket from the center of the floor. A second later Harmon again scored when he stole the ball from Chet Murphy and dribbled in for a set-up. Bill Murphy tied it up with a field goal only to have Harmon score hi, fourth basket. Beebe sank a free throw but baskets by Stampf and Chet Murphy tied it up at 9 all.

Mericka, at 136, the Nichols broth- ers at 145 and 175, and Jordan at heavyweight, accounted for their fourth triumph in as many starts by turing back what proved to be a feeble Michigan State challenge. In their first meet since a success- ful trip through the east at the end of last semester, the Wolverines were all but invincible as they won seven out of eight matches in truly con- vincing fashion. They took the lead at the very start when 121-pounder Tom Weidig needed but two and a half minutes to pin his Spartan op- nonent. Dick1 ' inne'v with a c radle~ Authorize Great Britain And France To Negotiate Peace With Nationalists Impotency Of Navy Brings New Decision PARIS, Feb. 18 -()- Spanish Government officials said tonight that the Madrid Government had authorized France and Great Britain to negotiate its surrender to the Nationalists on the sole condition that there would be no reprisals against former Government fighters and sympathizers. These officials, closely identified with Spanish Government President Manuel Azana, said French and Brit- ish representatives at Burgos had been instructed to present to Gener- alissimo Franco's Government the offer for peace in the two and one- half-year old civil war. The French Government, acting through a special envoy at Burgos, sought quick settlement of the war and repatriation of about 380,000 civilians and soldiers now refugees in France. Hodgson Arrives In Spain Sir Robert M. Hodgson, British agent in Nationalist Spain, arrived at St. Jean De Luz tonight from Burgos, the Nationalist capital, following a reported conference with Nationalist, officials on the Government's proposi-, tion. Sir Robert talked at length with Nationalist Foreign Minister Count Franciscb Gomez Jorda at Burgos be- fore leaving for the French border town to confer with representatives of his Government. Whether he bore Franco's answer was not known but it was understood he conferred t immediately with the British Foreign office in London by telephone. Officials of the French Foreign office said France and Britain had informed the Nationalists that their diplomatic recognition of Franco's government would not be contingent on granting assurances to the Span- ish Republican Government against reprisals. Azana Ready To Return The negotiations followed an un- successful attempt after thie fall of Barcelona to arrange peac in the Spanish conflict. The difference now seemed to be that France and Britain were back-. ing the Madrid Government's sole condition for surrender on their own account. Spanish Government officials here declared Azana was ready to return to Spain if an accod were possible and his presence w"~ necessary to carry 'it out. The peace offer was made through Azana by Foreign Minister Julio Al- varez Del Vayo, who returned to Madrid today. It was believed Alvarez Del Vayo's long conversation here with French Foreign Minister Georges Bonnet con- vinced Spanish Government officials, who now hold only one-fozrth of Spain, that no help would be forth- coming for further fighting from either France or Britain. Azana Had Refused The granting of the Goveriment's wishes for assurances from Franco of no reprisals appeared to be the answer to the whole question of whether peace was imminent in Spain. Previous Government conditions that Franco dismiss foreign soldiers from the country and set up a regime free of foreign influence appeared to have been satisfied through Na- tionalist assurances to Britain. Alvarez Del Vayo previously 'had attempted to convince Azana that he should return to the fighting zone since he was chief of the Spanish state. Azana consistently had refused, de- claring he would do nothing to con- tinue the bloodshed. Government 'General Miaja's in- spection of the Government fleet at Cartagena Friday was said by Azana's aides to have been a severe disap- pointment to the Republican Govern- Explains Concept Of Space From Four Viewpoints During Morning Talk A plea for intellectual honesty, for logical methods of thought in arriv- ing at a decision as to the existence ®r non-existence of God, was voiced last night by Bertrand Lord Russell, noted British author and philosopher, before an overflow crowd of 2,000 in the Graduate School Auditorium. Presenting the agnostic point of view in the first of a series of three lectures on "The Existence and Na- ture of God," sponsored by the Stu- dent Religious Association, Lord Russell declared that if the individual thinks rationally, if there is a logical basis for his belief, the character of the belief is unimportant. On the basis of logical, rational thought methods, he said, he could arrive only at a negative answer to the question, "Does an omnipotent and beneficient God exist?" In the light of all the suffering, misery and stupidity in the the world today; when one considers the unjust suffering inflicted upon innocent human beings, one can ar- rive logically only at a conclusion that if a God exists, he is a struggling, bungling God, working with incom- plete materials, subject to substantial- ly the same limitations that the mor- tal is. This is the sort of a God, Lord Russell declared, whose existence is sometimes justified on the basis of Munich May Lead To Downfall Of Hitler, Lord Russell Declares,
