BIGBATTLES’ IN WAR WILL COME ~ LATE, IS BELIEF
Conditions Changed Since 1914; Defense Devices Outgrow Attack.
LONDON, Sept. 8 (U. P.).—Military experts believed today that the war against Germany by Great Britain and France might take a long time to produce big batties. News will be scanty and military operations carried out in absolute secrecy, it was said, because tactical conditions now are wholly different from those prevailing in 1914 or in any other wars of history in which troops maneuvered in open country and clashed in the first few hours of hostilities.

between outposts, and as far as ground forces are concerned, the great armies will stay on previously prepared lines, deep in the earth, while a few commanders on each side develop secret strategy.
Defense Qutgrows Attack
The main reason for this is that the devices of defense have outgrown those of attack, except at sea and in the air. Meanwhile, the Allied navies will bend every effort to sweep Germany from the seas. A convoy system is being worked out and intensive warfare has started against German submarines, many of which are being attacked now, although it is not being revealed where the encounters are, because such information might , be useful to other German submarines. German sea strategy is expected! to be based on ocean-going submarines and armed merchant ships, although her position on the sea is much less formidable than it was!

ROME TALKS OF NEW PEACE BID
of Warsaw Awaited By Mussolini Before Pushing Plans.
Fall
ROME, Sept. 8 (U. P.).—Reports increased today that another Italian peace attempt will be made soon. They apparently were based on:
Warsaw may fall within the next few days. 2. Belief in usually well-informed circles that if an effort toward peace were made, it would come immediately following the fall of Warsaw. 3. Persistent reports during the last few days that Premier Benito Mussolini may make an important speech this week-end. Such an effort, according to usually well-informed circles, would be aimed at bringing Britain, France, Germany and Italy to a four-power conference. Exactly how such an offer would be made has not yet been defined, although it was pointed out that Sig. Mussolini would seem the logical man to undertake it since he has been praised by both England and France for previous peace efforts. On the other hand, Italian quarters were inclined to feel that Sig. Mussolini would not care to embark on another venture following the disappointing results of his first. It was admitted that England and France were practically certain to reject any peace terms, while Poland still is fighting, but some German quarters thought the situation might be changed if Poland should be crushed.
CHICAGO'S MILK UP — ONE CENT A QUART
CHICAGO, Sept. 8 (U. P).— ' Major dairies today raised the price of milk in Chicago 1 cent a quart. Smaller firms were expected to increase their prices accordingly. The new price was 12 cents a quart for home deliveries and 10 cents a quart for store purchases. Rising business costs and increased |prices paid to farmers for raw milk {as a result of the new Federal milk
{control in effect since Sept. 1 were |
given as reasons for the raise.

CITY FORMALLY BIDS FOR U.S. AIR CENTER
Times Special WASHINGTON, Sept. 8. —Indianapolis today made its formal bid to the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics to procure the proposed $10,000,000 air research center. The application to bring the station to Indianapolis, prepared by the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce, and accompanied by letters from Governor M. Clifford Townsend and Mayor Reginald Sullivan, was presented to the N. A. C. A. by Rep. Louis Ludlow (D. Ind.). A total of 35 cities are competing for the station. Indianapolis is reported to have only a slim chance of getting the air project. The N. A. C. A. has decided upon Sunnyvale, Cal, it is reported. Mr. Ludlow said the N. A. C. A. would probably announce its deci-| sion on the first air station site by| Sept. 15.
