WARNS BRITAIN MUST PREPARE FOR NEW RAIDS

Chamberlain Says Hitler Keeps Silent on Allied Peace Conditions.

18,

LONDON, Oct. 18 (U. P.).—Adolf Hitler has failed to reply to the Allied peace conditions, Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain told the House of Commons today, Great Britain must prepare for more and bigger Nazi aerial attacks. “We have the satisfaction of knowing that we have made at least a :good beginning,” the Prime Minister said in reporting on the “disappointment” of Germany in its preliminary aerial raids on British naval bases.

“But there are many suprises in|

war and they cannot all be pleasant. The attacks so far made on our coasts have been few and on a small scale and it would be unwise to assume that we shall always be as successful as we have been in these first exchanges.”

Unity Among Allies Cited

" Making his regular weekly report on war developments, Mr. Chamberlain pointed out that Germany had made no response to his speech rejecting Herr Hitler's peace terms and warning Germany to ‘ choose between elimination of the Nazi system of aggression or “war to the utmost of our strength.” He said that Nazi airplanes and U-boats had taken a toll ef more than 1400 lives in the British Navy, but that they had paid heavily for their successes. On the Western Front, he said, the British expeditionary force is in position and there is complete nity among the Allies.

Atlee Is Critical

Following Mr. Chamberlain’s report, Laborite Clement Atlee, resuming opposition leadership, made a slashing attack on the British Government’s conduct of the war, Mr. Atlee said he hoped that Commons would receive an early report on the sinking of the battleship Royal Oak by a submarine that entered the British base at Scapa Flow. He asked an explanation as to why German air raids on the Firth of Forth had been appreciated only when the attacking enemy actually was over the Forth. His attack was the first real eériticism in Commons of the Government since the war began. He said that the opposition was not satisfied with the economic side of the war and the economic organization of Britain for war. - British forces destroyed eight German aircraft in air battles along the English and Scottish coasts in the last two days, Mr. Chamberlain said, without loss of “a single machine of our own.” } (In Berlin, the Nazi High Command claimed several British planes had been shot down by Btiacking German craft.)

Denies German Claims

“It is believed that several more German bombers may have failed to reach home,” Mr, Chamberlain reported. He denied that the battle cruiser Repulse, the battleship Hood, the aircraft carrier Ark Royal or any capital ships except the aircraft

carrier Courageous and the battle-|_

ship Royal Oak—both torpedoed and sunk—had suffered the slightest damage in German attacks. The training battleship Iron Duke, he had previously announced, was slightly damaged at Scapa Flow yesterday: Germans had claimed that the Ark Royal, the Hood and the Repulse had been damaged or put out of commission. Regarding the Western Front, Mr. Chamberlain said: “The understanding between the French and British High Command is complete. ; “The fact that our expeditionary force is under command of the French commander-in-chief (Gen. Maurice Gamelin) and that a unity of command has been achieved so early is one proof of this accord. “Another is the agreement whereby French troops are serving under orders of the British commander-in-chief in France.”

achieve a brighter outlook,

continue friendly relations with Moscow while signing a MediterAllies. Franz von Papen, the skillful Nazi Ambassador to Turkey, was hurrying back to Berlin as a result of his failure to break up the Allied plans in the Near East.

Picture Changes Rapidly

International power politics is a swiftly changing picture: in southeastern Europe and there is no reason—despite British and French rejoicing today—to believe that the story is yet complete. The Turkish swing appeared to be toward the Allied powers for the moment, but actually the most important point was that the Turks had refused to go over to the Nazi-Soviet front. Whether Allied warships will be permitted or desire to go through the Dardanelles. to the Black Sea remains undecided. For the time being, the Moscow Government retired again into silence, except to predict continued friendship with Turkey. On the fighting fronts, the Germans appeared to be keeping the Allied troops busy in the Rhineland while testing out the possibilities of a form of totalitarian offensive by air and sea.

* Claim New Successes

An announcement by the German High Command said that Nazi troops had pushed the French back farther from the Reich's terrtiory| in the Moselle-Rhine sector, taking a. number of prisoners in sharp fighting. The French asserted that all Nazi attacks had failed after the Allied, outposts retired to prepared lines and estimated German dead at 6000

HOLY SEE REFRAINS FROM PEACE MOVE

CASTEL GANDOLFO, Oct. 18 (U. P.).—Pope Pius declared today that the Holy See would refrain from intervention in the European war at present, but ‘“we cannot shut our eyes to the sinister shadow cast over Europe by the enemies of God.” The Pope received the new Lithuanian Minister, Vladimer Girdvainis, to whom he expressed his attitude toward the international situation. The Pope's first encyclical, anticipated Oct. 29, is expected to decry the threat of paganism and atheism in Central Europe as the result. of the Soviet expansionist developments and to urge all nations to work against the spread of atheism.

or 7000 out of some 90,000 troops engaged in fighting during the last few days. They said that German forces were clogging the roads behind the Westwall, indicating that further major attacks were likely. In the aerial fighting, the British claimed that at least a dozen German planes had been destroyed in this- week's attacks on British naval bases in Scotland and along the English coast. The Germans announced that 10 Allied planes were shot down Monday and Tuesday. -

U. S. SHIP REPORTS RESCUE ON ATLANTIC

WASHINGTON, Oct. 18 (U. P)). —The American freighter Independence Hall has picked up 300 survivors of “The City of Mandalay Yorkshire,” the Maritime Commission announced today. That was all the Independence Hall's master radioed but apparently he referred to two British ships— the City of Mandalay, a freighter, and the passenger liner Yorkshire. At London, offices of the Ellerman Lines anounced a German submarine had sunk the City of Mandalay. The Independence Hall sailed Sunday from Bordeaux, a port on |the Gironde River on the west coast of France. She was returning to that port with the survivors and was expected to arrive tomorrow or Friday. In addition to the survivors and her normal crew of 35, the Independence Hall had an unknown number of American passengers fleeing Europe. She is a freighter of 5050 tons out of Philadelphia and under charter to the Maritime Commission. She is similar in design to the Commission’s freighter, City of Flint, which picked up 230 survivors of the torpedoed liner Athenia. It was assumed that the Independence Hall referred to two ships because Lloyd's Register of Ships does not list a “City of Mandalay Yorkshire,” but does list both a City of Mandalay and a Yorkshire.

GETS DEATH SENTENCE PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 18 (U. P.). —Herman Petrillo, who left his posiition as a spaghetti and olive oil salesman to become a lieutenant for Philadelphia's arsenic murder for insurance ring, today was sentenced to the electric chair for the poison slaying of one of the syndicate’s 100 or more victims.

Whenever the Navy or proper authorities considered all danger had ended, trade could be resumed. 2. The United States Government would not support a shipper’s claim against a foreign government in the event of the destruction of a cargo. 3. The master of a vessel would be required to give U. S. port authorities a sworn statement listing his cargo in detail, giving the name of the consignee and naming any ports at which he expected to stop en route to his destination. . 4. The exemptions admittedly would be drawn to meet the circumstances of the present European war, and would have to be reexamined if another war began in another part of the world, or the present war ended. Holt Opposes Repeal Senators attending this morning's conference were Chairman Key Pittman, Alben W. Barkley, Claude Pepper, Pat Harrison, Frederick VanNuys, James E. Murray, Lewis B. Schwellenbach, Connally, Theodore F. Green, Joseph F. Guffey, Walter F. George, Elbert Thomas and Robert F. Wagner. Senator Rush D. Holt (D.W.Va.), opening the day’s Senate debate, said that repeal of the arms embargo was not necessary to ‘“‘cash-and-carry” trade between the United States and belligerents in other commodities. “The neutrality act was written in peace, not in war,” Senator Holt said. “It was written for the defense of the United States, not the defense of Great Britain, France or Germany.” The West Virginian said there was only two reasons for repeal of the arms embargo. First, he said, there was a desire to help Great Britain and France, and second, to “make a little profit” out of the conflict.

MISS PERKINS TAKES WAGE-HOUR CONTROL

WASHINGTON; Oct. 18 (U. PJ). —A major shakeup in’ the wagehour administration’s top personnel resulted in disclosures today that Labor Secretary Frances Perkins has assumed at least temporary control of that New Deal agency's activities which affect more than 12,000,000 workers in interstate commerce. Wage-hour officials awaited the arrival of Lieut. Col. Philip Fleming from a St. Paul Army engineering assigment to take over the duties of the resigned administrator, Elmer F. Andrews for an indication as to the permanency of Miss Perkins’ control over their work. In the interim, Miss Perkins has assumed active command of the division. It was she who first notified Mr. Andrews officially that President Roosevelt desired to shift him to another Federal post, and put Col. Fleming in the wage-hour jo

BERLIN, Oct. 18 (U. P.).—Adolf Hitler received the commander and crew of the U-boat that torpedoed the British battleship Boval Oak today. Factory workers were “allowed to leave their jobs to cheer the submarine’s officers and crew as ‘they rode in 10 automobiles along the

cellery, Herr, Hitler's official residence, to meet the Fuehrer.

The U-boat’s commander, Lieut. Comm, Prien, describing the attack in a radio broadcast last night, said the Royal Oak appeared to have been “blown to smithereens” and that a “huge waterspout” had burst from the battle cruiser Repulse after he had fired a torpedo.

Lieut. Comm. Prien described how

of Swedes lined the. flag-draped streets cheering the heads of four traditionally friendly and neutral governments. Sweden’s 81-year-old King Gustav and Crown Prince Gustav Adolf went to the airport to greet the President and Foreign Minister of Finland, whose position had become most precarious of all because of Russia’s westward movements and reported demands for Finnish islands. Common Interests Stressed

Also at the. airport was Frederick Storm, member of the Stockholm City Council, with encouragement for the Finns. He told President Kyoesti Kallio: “If anything wrong should happen to one Scandinavian country it would be of the utmost importance to all of them. Any wound made on any nation in our group would always be an open wound for all.” King Christian X of Denmark and King Haakon VII of Norway came together by special train. Gustav greeted Haakon first, kissing him on the cheek, then Haakon’s brother, Christian, kissing him on both cheeks and throwing an arm around his shoulder. Kings’ Faces Solemn Crown Prince Gustav Adolf and his British born princess, Louise, were present, with other members of the Swedish Royal. House. The three elderly kings chatted for several minutes, occasionally holding one another's arms. All looked fit but their faces were solemn. The Municipal Governor of Stockholm made-a brief welcoming speech and called upon the crowd to give the traditional four cheers. After 10 minutes at the station, the procession to the Royal Castle started. Flags of all four Nordic countries were flying. They are all of the same design—a cross on a solid background, but the colors are different. There was a canopy of flags over the bridge leading to the Royal Castle. The weather was clear and brisk: Each king and the president was accompanied by his Foreign Minister. It was believed that in a broad

Soviet Troops Occupy

Esthonia Military Bases

HELSINGFORS, Finland, Oct. 18 (U. P.).—Telegraph and radio communication with Esthonia was suddenly cut off today and a severe military censorship was reported imposed in that Baltic state in connection with occupation of milliary bases by Soviet troops. The censorship resulted in a number of alarmist rumors here regarding developments in Esthonia, which granted military and naval bases to Russia under their recently concluded treaty. About 21,000 Red Army troops.were being sent into Esthonia. Travelers from Tallinn said that conditions there were highly uncertain and that the Government had taken “precautions” against any incidents. Foreigners were not permitted to stay in Tallinn, or on Osel or Dagoe Islands (which are new Soviet. bases) without special permits. Meanwhile, Carelia, the southeast

BERLIN CLAIMS NEW ADVANCES

Reports French Yield More Ground and Prisoners on “Western Front.

BERLIN, Oc¢t. 18 (U.P.).—The German High Command asserted today that France had lost additional territory and prisoners in German attacks on the Western Front yesterday. An official communique. said: “French troops yesterday gave up further points along “the frontier between the Moselle and the Pfaelzer Forest, which were occupied by our advancing troops. “Numerous prisoners were taken.” Describing German air raids on the British coast and British and French reconnaissance flights over Germany, the High Command asserted that the Allies had lost 10 airplanes Monday and Tuesday. “The German air force yesterday continued operations against naval harbors on the British eastern coast,” said the communique. “According to reports so far, one old battleship (Iron Duke) in addition to other warships was hit by bombs of heavy and medium size in the boy of Scapa Flow. “During the air battle one British pursuit plane was shot down by German planes. One German plane crashed as the result of British antiaircraft gun fire. “On Oct. 16 and 17 our opponents lost 10 airplanes, five of them, including one British airplane, over German territory, as the result of German anti-aircraft * fire. One British and one French plane were

area had been changed “suddenly

and radically by the refusal of Turkey to accede to. Russian demands.

‘The change was in favor of Great Britain, France and Rumania and against Germany. It was calculated to cause anxiety to Italy, with its Dodecanese Islands dominated by Turkish coastal forts unless it pursued a policy of strict neutrality. Turkey refused to accept demands which conflicted with its engagements to Britain and France. Premier Refik Saydam announced the failure of the negotiations with Russia. He said Russia had presented Turkey proposals absolutely different from those originally scheduled for discussion. ape, Russia’s new demands, he said, were incompatible with' Turkey's pledges to Britain and France, which Russia had approved in ad-

vance. Further, he said, the Russian pro-|

posals might prove detrimental to Turkey’s own security. ' Guarantees offered by Russia, he said, would not compensate Turkey for ‘obligations it would have been

‘expected to assume under a new

treaty. Russia’s exigencies — its urgent demands — were incompatible, he said, with Turkey’s policy regarding the Dardanelles Strait, the vital Turkish waterway connecting the Mediterranean and Black Sea. : In concluding his statement, the Premier said that though TurkishRussian negotiations had not

‘| yielded conclusive results, Turkish-

Russian relations were still based on their usual friendship.

Four Russian Demands

Rejected, London Hears

LONDON, Oct. 18 (U. P.).—The British Foreign Office said in an official statement tonight that Soviet-Turkish negotiations in Moscow were terminated because Russian proposals were regarded as inacceptable by the Turkish Government. Certain Balkan legations in London. were advised officially today that Russia presented the following demands: 1. That a Russian-Turkish pact acknowledge that the Balkans constituted a region of Russian influence. a 2. That Turkey close the Dardanelles Strait at once to warships of non-Black Sea powers. 3. That the Russo-Turkish pact make it clear that the proposed Russian-Turkish mutual assistance paet was not directed against Bulgaria.

Hint Russia May Reconsider *

4. That the pact. shauld not obligate Russia to consult Turkey in event of any German action in the Balkans. Turkish diplomatic sources said that new Russian demands were presented to Sukru Saracoglu, Turkish Foreign Minister, after virtual agreement had been reached on the text of a Soviet-Turkish alliance treaty. Turkish pessimism over the failure of the negotiations was somewhat

relieved by a belief that Russia

might reconsider .its demands and ‘modify them to an extent where resumption of negotiations would be possible. Less hopeful diplomats forecast that Russia might act to obtain a diplomatic foothold in the Balkans as the result of the failure of negotiations. Also, the possibility that Turkey might act as a sort of diplomatic bridge between the Allies and Russia had faded into the background for the moment.
