sequent alliance with Britain and France. It remained to be seen, however, just where Italy was being guided. Paris, which experienced its first air raid alarm this morning, awaited eagerly news of the first French smash against the German fortifications—the Limes—in the Rhineland. It was believed generally that French strategy would be to try to break through at each end for an encircling movement, About 3,000,000 men were under arms in France and more were being called up hourly. The German defenses in the west were reported manned by about 500,000 men.

Holland Fires at Warplanes

There was naval fighting off the coast of Denmark, ac-| % cording to dispatches from Copenhagen. Anti-aircraft guns . in Holland fired at unidentified warplanes violating her neutrality. Rumania declared her neutrality would be enforced by armed might if necessary. More troops were called up. Japan formally notified the belligerent powers and the United States that she would remain neutral. Germany got her first ally today when Slovakia already | used as an Army base by Germany, began hostilities unen-

BRITISH PLAGE GOVERNMENT'S HAND ON LAOBR

Another Bill Requires All Must Register for National Service.

‘

By WEBB MILLER United Press Staff Correspondent LONDON, Sept. 5.—Great Britain went further on a war basis today with the promulgation of a bill in| Parliament giving the Ministry of Labor power to control employment

and with the completion of the passage of a bill requiring all persons in the nation to register for national service, Employers cannot engage or reengage employees without the Labor Ministry's consent. Meanwhile, the Independent Labor Party said today it had received a declaration of independence from independent Socialists in Germany that the masses of the German people “don’t want this war.” The British Ministry of Information announced early today that the Royal Air Force, in its first attack, had successfully bombed the German Navy at Wilhelmshaven and Brunsbuttel at the North Sea entrance to the Kiel Canal, and had damaged two battleships. “Our air force suffered some casualties,” said the communique,

Propaganda Is Used

Along with this direct attack on the armed forces of Germany, Britain hammered »t the German public with propaganda. Six mil- | lion leaflets had been dropped on | German soil yesterday, denouncing Hitlerism. Radio stations day and night aimed at the German public statements giving the British view of the war and the causes leading |

| |

Throughout the British and French empires, declarations of support were sent to London and Paris and preparations to fight were rushed. In Washington, before the President issued the proclamation of American neutrality, the State Department anuonced drastic limitations on travel of U. S. citizens to and |

from Europe. The Navy Department announced it would recondition 116 destroyers now on the West Coast for “patrol work.”
