WARNS BRITAIN OF BOMB RAIDS

10 TIMES DAILY|

Unidentified Power Gives|

Hint of New Offensive By Germany.

~~ By JOE ALEX MORRIS United Press Foreign News Editor

Pope Pius warned the world away from “the dread tempest of war” today but almost at the hour of his first encyclical there came new threats of intensified conflict in Western Europe. Both Great Britain and France reported that Adolf Hitler appeared

to be ready for immediate offensives| ;

in the air and on the Rhineland

front to support the counter-attack already launched by Nazis at 564 against the Allied blockade.

In London, information reaching the military agents of a big power was deseribed as indicating an early aerial offensive against Great Britain, with perhaps 10 airplane thrusts a day aimed chiefly at the big naval and military centers.

Godesberg Historic Again

In Paris, the French reported that the Nazi high command had set up headquarters at the pic-

turesque town of Godesberg and massed more than a million troops for what appeared likely to be an attack—despite deep mud—on some sections of the Maginot Line. Godesberg is the town where Adolf Hitler met Neville Chamberlain in the Czeclioslovak crisis. When—and if—these thrusts come from Germany's armed forces depends entirely on Fuehrer Hitler, and presumably his practice of surprising Europe's diplomats in the past will be extended to military operations in the future. Nor is there any reason to over-estimate his willingness to accept the persistent challenge of the British and French to attack on the Western Front, where the great fortifications on both sides assure the offensive army will suffer huge losses.

Allies Appear Ready

But there have been developments supporting the reports of an im pending Nazi attack by air te}® strengthen "Herr Hitler's U-hoat battle against the British blockade. The Nazi press has encouraged the German people to believe that the power of the Nazi air force will soon be felt by the British. German reconnaissance planes have made a thorough survey on- flights across the North Sea. Herr Hitler has said that the British refused his ouitstretched hand and would suffer for it—thus leaving it up to the Nazis to strike. On the Allied side, both the British and French are ready for either land or sea operations, Prime Min- - ister Neville Chamberlain informed the- House’ of Commons. Or they are ready to continue their eco- ' nomic strangulation of the Reich if Herr Hitler dares risk a waiting course.

. Britain Lines Up Islam On the diplomatic front, the greatest interest cenfered in the efforts of Britain and France to capitalize on théir triumph in completing a: mutual aid pact with Turkey. One of their chief objectives in following up that victory was to avoid alienating Soviet Russia and another was to unite the Moslem world behind the Allied cause. So far, there appeared to be little progress toward a reconciliation with the Soviets. But a broad series of developments in the Balkans and the Near East appeared to have made progress toward frustrating German efforts to move in on the Moslem states. : Most hopeful development in this connection was that a meeting scheduled soon at Baghdad between Turkey, Irak, Iran and Afghanistan was extended to include Egypt, which has broken off relations with Germany.

Rumania Still On Spot In the Balkans, Rumania’s position continued dangerous, with the Nazis reported warning Bucharest of possible dire conseqgences of a pro-Allied attitude. Two big British steamships arrived at the Rumanian port of Constanza with cargoes of British tanks for the Rumanian army. In northeastern Europe, the Soviet deal for a dominant position in the Baltic area resulted in Lithuanian troops marching into the Vilna zone after repeated delays but there was little to indicate that the deadlock between Finland and Russia would soon be broken. The Finns continued to insist that there were grave obstacles to meeting Russia’s demands.

BOLIVIA EXILES ‘PLOTTER’ LA PAZ, Bolivia, Oct..27 (U. P.) — Gen. Bernardino Bilbao, Commander in Chief of the Bolivian Army and a candidate in the forthcoming Presidential election, was sent into exile today on charges of fomenting a revolutionary plot.

SUBS REPORTED GONVOYING SHIP

City of Flint at Sea JEn Route to German Port; U. S. Protest Waited. - -

By UNITED PRESS The U. 8S, steamship City of Flint, captured by. a German cruiser and sailed by a German prize crew to the Arctic Russian port of Mur- | mansk, was “somewhere at sea” today. Presumably it was bound -for a German port with its 41-man American crew on board but not in charge of the ship. There were rumors that the ship was being escorted to Germany by a convoy of Nazi submarines. All' that ‘was known for certain about the ship’s whereabouts, its destiny and the fate of its American crew was what the Russian and, German Governments disclosed in incomplete official announcements. Those announcements contained no formal reply to the demand of U. S. Secretary of State Cordell Hull that the ship and its cargo and crew be released. Nor did they give any indication ‘of where the City of Flint ‘was going, what route it was taking or what its final disposition would be. Moscow officially stated that the ship had been released yesterday and that the American crew was safe on board. Soviet officials would not say whether the ship was in American or ‘German hands. Unofficial reports were that it sailed with the German crew in charge and might be escorted to a German port by a convoy of German submarines. Berlin stated that the City of Flint was en route to an unnamed German port; that the future of the (Continued on Page Three)

U.S. GETS PLANS FOR FLYING TORPEDO

CHICAGO, Oct..27 (U. P.).—The American Television Institute said today plans for a flying torpedo controlled by radio-television had been submitted to the U. S. War Department. U. A. Sanabria, chief of staff at the Institute, faid the torpedo would travel 400 miles an hour and carry enough explosives to destroy a battleship. “Such a torpedo has been successfully demonstrated,” he stid. until now the master plane has had to keep within range to control the flight of the projectile.” Under the Institute’s plan, Mr. Sanabria said, a plane controlling the torpedo can be as far as 100 miles distant.

LONDON, Oct. 27 (U. P.).—The periscope of a big U-boat—perhaps one of Germany's largest—tipped helplessly out of the seg off the Kentish coast today after 50 bodies were reported to have been removed from the wrecked craft. Probably the victim of British guns, the submarine was believed to have drifted on the ‘dangerous Goodwin Sands after being disabled several days ago. Little information was available concerning the wreck and officials were silent as to whether the story of underseas drama and death could be pieced together from examination of the U-boat’s records. But it was known that British

guns and British airplane depth

Poland and Italy Are Commended.

VATICAN CITY, Oct. 27 (U. P). —His Holiness Pope Pius XII, in the first encyclical of his reign, ap-

pealed today for prayers for peace and declared that, when the war ends, national and international life must rest on a new order. “Once bitterness and the cruel strife of the present has ceased,” the Pope said. “the new order of the world of national and international life must rest no longer on the quicksand of changeable standards or groups. No, it will have to rest on the unshakeable foundation of natural law and divine revelation.” In a part of his message which seemed aimed: at such types of totalitarian governments as Nazi Germany and Communist Russia, the Pope warned that to consider the state as something ultimate, subordinating everything to it, coulde not fail to harm the true, lasting prosperity of nations.

Praises Italy

High Vatican sources said that the theme of the encyclical, especially as relating to totalitarian states, was taken from an unpublished address written by His Holiness Pope Pius XI, just before he died. The encyclical stressed good relations between Italy and the Holy See. This, churchmen believed, removed the sting of the totalitarian attack so far as’Italy is concerned, leaving it directed mainly against Germany and Russia. The Pontiff referred to the resurrection of Poland, which churchmen believed was tantamount to disapproval of the Russo-German partition of Poland.

Cites Two ‘Errors’

The encyclical, referring to totalitarian harm to the lasting prosperity of nations, said: “This can happen. when unrestricted dominion is conferred on the state as having a mandate from the nation and the people or even from a social class, or when the state arrogates such dominion to itself as absolute master, despotica without-.any ‘mandate whatsoever, he continued. In a further reference to ideolo=] gies which seemed obviously of the types of those of naziism and communism the Holy Father said that

agnosticism existing in the world

today “The first is forgetfulness of the law of human solidarity and charity,” he said.” “The second lies in ideas by which there is no hesitation in divorcing civil authority from dependence on the Supreme Being.

“Our Dear Poland”

“Once the authority of God is denied then civil authority tends to assume absolute autonomy, which belongs exclusively to ihe Supreme Maker.” It. was quite true, he said, that arrogant or despotic power, “based on such weak and unsteady foundations can attain at times, under chance circumstances, material successes apt to arouse wonder in superficial observers.” There was a word for Germany also in the Pope’s reference to Poland—“our dear Poland, which on account of its fidelity to the church has a right to the generous, brotherly sympathy of the whole world while it awaits the hour of resur(Continued on Page Three)

Mystery Explosion Occeurs In Loading of Gasoline.’

NORFOLK, Va., Oct. 27 (U.P.) — One man was killed and seven injured today when gasoline exploded as it was being loaded aboard the U. S. Geodetic Survey boat Mitawee. The ship was alongside a dock in Norfolk harbor when the explosion which virtually demolished the craft occurred. Cause of the blast was not determined. Several fire companies fought to prevent additional gasoline: on the boat and at the dock from explod-

Goodwin Sands was believed to be one of the latest. Bodies of the men aboard it were taken to Dover. Fishermen reported that the greater part of the submarine’s conning tower projected above water at the southwest end of the sand bank on which it grounded.

The fishermen recalled that gun fire was heard Wednesday morning off Deal. They pointed out that the strong currents in those waters might have taken a disabled submarine on to the Goodwins. The report that 50 bodies had been taken from the grounded:submarine indicated that one of Germany's larger U-boats—perhaps larger than any listed in the German Navy in authoritative publications—had been
