ITALY ADDS 1000 AIR CORPS MEN TO HUGE FORCE

ROME, Sept. 2 (U. P.).—The Air Ministry announced today that it was adding 1000 men to Italy's already huge air force. The announcement was made] while many observers found indi- | cations of a possibility that Italy! might go to war in aid of her axis|

The ministry said examinations! to admit 500 student officers and | 500 non-commissioned officers to | the corps would be held before the end of the year. A typical viewpoint was expressed by Virginio Gayda in the Giornale D'Italia. He often speaks for Mussolini. “Italy has done its utmost to avoid war. Henceforth, it is up to other powers to limit it,” he said. Nevertheless, some hope persisted here that the conflict would remain localized. The Vatican was believed carrying on last-minute efforts for a pacific solution.

Publishes Peace Hope

The Vatican organ, Osservatore Romano, deplored “the event against which efforts among the unanimous consent of peoples were intensified in recent hours. May God grant that Europe will not catch fire.” Crown Prince Humbert arrived from Naples last night to take charge of one of the two sections

Serious damage was reported to the harbor at Gdynia by airplane bombs. It was asserted that Catholic churches had been hit at Grodno and Bidlapolaska. Grodno is in the far northeastern part of the country, only 20 miles from Lithuania. - In addition, bombings were reported unofficially from Poznan, ime

Claim Slovak Sympathy

It was announced that the Slovak charge d'affaires here, Ludwig Szathmary, had sent a sympathetic letter to Foreign Minister Josef Beck, denouncing the leaders of his own country. The letter, which Charge Szathmary was said to have asked Minister Beck to publish, read: “I express the sympathy of the Slovak people to attacked Poland. . .. And I protest before the whole world against the disarmament of the Slovak Army by the German Army. ...I protest against the Slovak traitors who admit that Germany is using Slovakian terrie tory in order to attack Poland.” Present Moscicki, according to the constitution, appoMited Marshal Smigly-Rydz as his successor in the event. that “anything happens to me.” ’ Minister Beck conferred with United States Ambassador A.

The neutrality of Switzerland, Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Finland has been |definitely established, unless one side or the other should violate some nation to gain military advantage. Turkey is allied with Britain and France, and if the war spreads to the Mediterranean, can be counted on for invaluable assistance at its eastern end. German planes repeatedly bombed Polish towns and cities, and Polish sources claimed there were many casual- | ties, including women and children. In the United States, the dominant topic of conversation everywhere was the war, and the favorite theme of conversation was, “Will we be dragged in?” President Roosevelt will address the nation by radio tomorrow night to allay national anxiety over the situation.

Poland’s position in the hostilities. Gdynia Bombed All Day

Advices from the frontier said the heaviest German attack was coming from Silesia in the southwest; a lighter one from the southeast corner of East Prussia, and a third and weaker one was aimed at the Polish Corridor. Gdynia, Polish Baltic port, was bombed all day yesterday. : Poland was officially in a state of war, proclaimed by President Mos= cicki, and its whole fighting force, ranked fifth best in the world, was arrayed for battle. President Mos= cicki, however, had not formally des clared war on Germany, and planned to defer doing so as long as possible in order to continue doing business under the neutrality laws of other nations, including the United States. It was estimated that one out of every 10 of Poland’s 35,000,000 population was in the Army. Thers were more able-bodied men available, enough to provide an army of 7,000,000 in all. In the field, Poland had 90 regiments of infantry, 40 of cavalry and 50 of artillery. The cavalry is the best in Europe. Poland also has 1300 first-line fighting planes, including bombers,
