IN WAR TOEND
Britain Dares Neutrals’ Wrath in Move to Seize “MI German Exports.
"By JOE ALEX MORRIS United Press Foreign News Editor -Great Britain and Germany ended any doubt today that the war is a fight to the bitter end.
The British Goverment stood firm before the wrath of neutral ‘nations in its order for the Allied naval forces to seize all exports from Germany--a blow in the sea war designed to ruin Nazi Germany
The Government of Adolf Hittler denounced the British action as piracy, announced that Nazi warships had sunk a number of vessels in the North Sea in defiance of British ‘naval power, sent more ce planes over England and increased: fears that the mounting bitterness of war would now send “the long-dreaded German planes against the British Isles in larger numbers. And behind the spectacular moves of the belligerent powers there continued the steady proces“sion of tragedies at sea, with the Italian steamer Fianona rolling on the waves after a floating mine had torn a great hole in her side. The Fianona was the 17th victim of war off the English coasts since Saturday, not including a French «hing boat sunk across the channel or the German steamer Bertha Pisser which was scuttled when: intercepted by a British ‘warship.
British Admiralty Grim
“On. the Western Front there was little action. Millions of soldiers on both sides watched each other along the Rhineland, the Moselle and the Baar Rivers, facing the occasional hazards of patrol skirmishes or artillery fire. They made jokes about when the war would start and whether the danger of being bored to death was greater than being hit by shrapnel. But actually warfare in its most ruthless form—economic warfare carrying the threat of starvation and chaos for the entire population as well as the men at the front— walmoving ahead more swiftly than in-any comparable war in the past. - There was no joking in the British ty offices as—just when the U-boat menace seemed to be diminished—ship after ship capable of bearing vital supplies went down in sudden, totally unpredictable explosions in the shallow coastal waters as a result of alleged floating mines loosed by the Nazis. Nor was there any worry about boredom in the Governmental offices responsible for feeding the population of the British Isles and supplying a great army overseas. There was only determination, already translated into action, fo back with every agency at
talk and the jokes were too, in the offices of the Government in Berlin andjg

The nature and timing of the announcement obviously was - designed to attract German attention away from the British order for seizure of exports and to increase German anger for prosecution of the war, In Paris; French sources professed belief that one Nazi reaction might be a new thrust into the Balkans to outmaneuver the Allied blockades at sa and maintain an overland route for supplies, which Soviet Russia

India for: the British Inte’ligence Service, the source said. Later he became leader of the British Intelligence Service in Europe. The source said that “Mr. Best” now has been identified as Sigis-
tenham, .England. It was said that he headed the Intelligence Service of the British General Staff during the World War. The Secret Police appealed to the public today for information of. the past life and associates of Georg Elser, 36-year-old German, who, they said, confessed to the beer cellar bombing.
Announce Complete Case
They wanted to know who Elser was, - where he had worked and traveled, so they could prove his contact with Strasser. Well-informed . Nazis broadly hinted that the whole case would be aired at a trial before the National Court at Leipzig, where the celebrated Reichstag fire trial'was held. A complete case against Elser was announced, based on scientific sleuthing, psycho -analysis, and finally, his alleged confession. An authoritative source confirmed today that Best and Stevens were captured in a fray-at Venlo on Dutch soil, precipitated, allegedly, by German Secret Policemen who crossed the Dutch border, shot a Dutch intelligence officer and “kidnaped” five other persons into Germany. The ofa] version of Elser’s entrapment 3nd confession contained references to .plots ‘and counterplots, It charged that the central office. of the British - Intelligence

In August, this year. he slipped into the Buergerbraeu beer cellar and set the bomb case into one of the pillars which he had hollowed out beforehand. On Nov. 1, seven days before the scheduled beer cellar celebration commemorating the anniversary of Adolf Hitler’s first “putsch,” a celebration that Herr Hitler attends regularly every year, Elser set the explosive charge of the bomb into the case. The next night he returned to the cellar, tried to put the six-day time clock mechanism into the explosive chamber, but failed.. The following night, Nov. 3, he again was unable to get the ‘mechanism in place. But on Nov. 4, he got it in place and set the time for the explosion for the night of Nov. 8. Then he left Munich, where he had lived lately, and proceeded to Stuttgart, from where ‘he planned to go into Switzerland “and meet his employers - waiting for him there.” But he turned back, allegedly be-

SUPREME GOURT HITS CIVIL LIBERTY BANS

held the ordinances as a. reasonable application . of municipal police power. In the handbill cases, the courts found the cities had passed the laws to prevent “littering’ ‘the streets, as a sanitary measure or to dim fire hazards. The Irvington statute was upheld in New Jersey on the grounds it gave police a check on canvassers, thus helping to prevent crime. Members of Jehovah’s Witnesses told the Supreme Court the Irvington ordinance was a clear violation of religious liberty as well as freedom of the press. » In other cases; the defendants based their constitutional claims on the alleged prohibition of their right to disseminate information freely on public streets.

beer cellar celebration had been canceled. This cancellation was soon withdrawn and Elser went to the beer cellar again the night of Nov. 7 to see that the clock was still ticking and that its sound was well muffled. He repeated his test on the morning of Nov. 8, the statement said, then had breakfast in a restaurant nearby, and boarded a train for the frontier by way of Ulm. The explosion occurred that night, killing eight

Increase was not as great as in industry. “Retail ‘sales, which ‘traditionally lag behind in any upturn, were 10 per cent greater than in September, and slightly more than this amount over October of last year,” te ed: e following report was given on Indianapolis business: Bank debits rose slightly more than the seasonal amount during October and were 9 per cent higher than in September and 5 per cent greater than a year ago. Retail trade expanded 6 per cent during
‘the month and the dollar value of
sales showed an improvement of 7 per cent over last year. Building activity continued to decline during October, and the total value of all permits issued was $891,717 as compared With $961,260 last month and $1,752,101 a year ago. Residential construction accounted for $407,300 of all permits Jssued and provided 97 dwelling

“A | slightly more than seasonal rise brought postal receipts 12 peri. cent above September and 3 per cent ahead of October, 1938. Inbound carloadings increased 13 per cent and were 8 per cent greater than the corresponding month of last year. Outbound carloadings declined about 1 per cent. They were, however, 6 per cent Jarger than’ a year ago. Livestock receipts advanced 14 per cent during October and were 3 per cent ahead of last year. Total manufacturing . employment increasdd 2 per cent and payrolls,
roughly 8 per cent. Changes in in-|
dustrial employment ranged from a 14 per cent decrease in the food products group to a 9 per cent advance in 1ailroad repair shops. An examination of payroll statis tics reveals more than a proportionate increase in payrolls of certain groups.
