Staff Correspondent) Washington President Roosevelt today declared that "the continuing emphasis of nations must be on the I i Coles Corn andr Soybeans Good, Says Myers Special to Tha 111. The corn and soybean crops of Coles county are "very good," but would improve with more "dry weather, W. S. Myers, Coles county farm adviser, said today. "Present indications are that the quality and.

yield of corn and soybeans;" said Mr. Myers, "will be about the same as last year. Farmers differ in opinion, some stating this year's crop will exceed the harvest OM938. "However, all are agreed that dry weather is needed to rountf out the growing season. Excessive- an-tm-usual rains during August left the; crops unharmed and in some instances saved fields that were, beginning to suffer from dry weather.

"Rising markets cheered 'farmers who have sealed corn on hand arid had looked forward to sealing again this, year. It Is indicated that corn again" will, be sealed," but no price has yet been determined. The price will depend on the condition f-of crop and the amount of carryover. Sept. 10 has been set as the date for determining the figure.

1 "A large per cent of the broom-corn In Coles county has been cut' and Is in the shed and much has been sold. However, the harvest of the crop, continues and will not be completed for approximately 10' days. "The quality of brush Is lower than last year In general, while the yield is also down and less acreage planted. Prices, however, are above those of last year.

i. 9-2 Jant Adsi Pax LKOUul LI RED PIKE FOR PEACE BY CHARLES A. SMITH (I. N. S.

Staff Correspondent) London A proposal by Premier Mussolini for an International, con ference of nations Including Poland to settle the European crisis was re vealed by Minister Neville Chamberlain androrelgn Secretary Viscount Halifax in-the-British par liament tonight, Refusing to recognize validity of Germany's annexation of Danzig and condemning the use of force In Poland, Chamberlain said that Britain would agree to such a conference only if German troops are withdrawn from Poland and the conditions prevailing before the invasion re-established. "The British government finds it impossible to. take part in the conference while Ppland 4s 'invaded," Chamberlain stated categorically to the accompaniment of cheers. Revealing that no reply had been received up to 7:35 p. from Relchsfuehrer Adolf Hitler to the Anglo-French demand for cessa tion of hostilities In Poland, Chamberlain said: "It is possible the delay is due to a proposal put forward by Italy that hostilities should cease and that there should be an Immediate conference among Britain, France, Poland, Germany and Italy.

(Editor's Note: The conference suggested by Mussolini would differ In one essential from that of Munich last September, insofar' as Poland wculd be represented, whereas Czechoslovakia was ignored entire ly.) "His majesty's government will be bound to take action unless Ger man forces are withdrawn, from Polish territoryr "His majesty's government is in communication with France as to the limit of tune within which it will be necessary for the British and French governments to know whether the German government is prepared to effect such with-drawal. "While appreciating Italy's ef- forts. his majesty's government cculd not' find It possible to participate in the conference while Po land was being subjected to Invasion and towns were under bombardment and Danzig made the subject of a Unilateral settlement by force."

BY JAMES E. BROWN Staff Correspondent) Forcing the.

pa tal nuncio to Warsaw to take refuge in the cellar of the foreign office, 17 German war planes attacked Warsaw in (a vioien air, ram hub iu- tejnoon after Polish anti-air-. craft guns (drove off several -detachments of raiders earlier in the day.

seven fighting planes participated. An aerial duel between the invading planes and Polish military aircraft took place over the city which terminated when artillery found the range with tracer bullets and explosives. Several small fires blazed In various parts of Warsaw after the raid ended. It was the most severe attack of the day. One German bomber was shot down outside the city, Authorities said they expected the Germans would launch another attack momentarily.

It was noted, however that the Warsaw populace js.aireaay oecuming wmm nu raids "and that the people are. becoming less and less agitated each time the air raid alarm sounds. The raid was conducted after the Polish government charged that many Polish citizens are being murdered to the German-occupied section of Pomerania. Latest reports indicate the Germans have struck at eight different points. Contradicting German boasts that tttey had everywhere advanced miles, neutral observers report their sole certain victory appears to have been capture of the railroad station at Bentschen and it was considered significant.
