trated at home while the Axis thrusts at the Empire through the Balkans and the Middle East. Simultaneously, it was expected that Japan would move in the Far East. Preparations for a blow in the Far East were widespread today. The British advised the Japanese that they are reopening the Burma route for supplies to China. At the same time American residents in most of the Far East were being advised to get out by American consuls. Similar advices, it was learned, went to British residents.
Decks Cleared for Action
It was indicated that the move was designed to clear the decks for whatever action Japan might take in the Far East. One indication of the possibilities was seen at Hanoi in French Indo-China where the Japanese, having just moved into the country, were reported already dissatisfied with the military bases they had obtained. They were said to be contemplating demands for additional airdromes and a “loan” to support the Japanese forces of occupation. The British said that despite their powerful attack on Britain the Germans had failed to damage appreciably military objectives and had suffered heavy losses. They believed, therefore, that the attacks were a mask for an impending far-reaching Axis program which might include: Consolidation of the German military position in Rumania in order to threaten the Turks; an Italian attempt to seize military bases in Syria to threaten Palestine and Egypt from the rear; a resumption of Marshal Rudolfo Graziani’s drive into Egypt; an attempt to persuade Spain to seize French Morocco. :
Rumania Situation Confusing
The reports of the German move into Rumania were more confusing than ever. First the Germans said that it was entirely possible that German troops had marched in to protect oil fields, oil ports and train Rumanian troops. Then a denial was issued that “a single” German soldier was in the country. There was less confusion in Rumania where it was

CHURCHILL SAYS 1,200,000 NAZIS MASS IN FRANCE
Claims R. A. F. Strikes Back At Axis With More Power Than Ever.
L.ONDON, Oct. 8 (U. P.).—Prime Minister Winston Churchill, radiating confidence, told the House of Commons today that Germany had massed 1,200,000 men and transports for 500,000 men for the invasion of the British Isles, but that Great Britain with the aid “of the new world” was © striking back more powerfully than ever against the Axis war machine. Promising to ‘regain the initiative,” Churchill gave a blow-by-blow story of recent war developments, expressed belief that the German air -force had failed in its objective lof blasting Britain to destruction and said that “a lot of things are going to happen” to Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini.”
Picture in Detail
In swift, dramatic .strokes, the Prime Minister painted this picture: 1. Great Britain must reopen the Burma Road over which China receives military supplies after Oct. 17 because of the new German-Italian-Japanese alliance, which he said was directed primarily against the United States and Russia and presumably | contained secret clauses which would mioke it favorable to Japan. 2. The danger of i invasion persists and Germany has massed 80 crack divisions in northern France, with enough ships to “throw half a million onto the salt water” around Britain—¢or into it!” But Britain's home guard now humbers 1,700,000 men and the Navy is receiving “great” reinforcements apart from the trade of 50 United States destroyers.
Happy Over New World's Aid
3. Germany has greatly increased her resources by conquests, but ‘“‘the resources (of the new world are becoming increasingly available” to Britain. If it were not ior these new world resources, he said, “it would be a long time before we would be able to do much more than hold our own.” 4. The Royal Air Force is getting stronger land is steadily increasing the destructiveness of its aerial bombardment against the German war machine's most vital points, while the Germans are feeling the weakening effects of constant and heavy use of their air force for bombardment of Britain. 5. A total of 8500 Britons have been killed and 13,000 wounded during the intensive German aerial offensive against Britain (up to
is decreasing at present and is much lower than the. pre-war estimates of the Nazis.
“We Can Take It”
6. The British people are crying: “We can take it!” and are demanding: “Give it back to them,” but the R. A. F. has no time for reprisal raids and will continue to concentrate on smashing the German war machine. Churchill hinted at new methods of defense against night bombers, but declined to explain then. 7. One British battleship and a heavy British cruiser suffered serious damage in the battle of Dakar, when British and “free French” forces vainly attempted to take over that French West African port, but Britain will continue strongly to support the “free France” movement led by Gen. Charles de Gaulle. He said persons responsible for letting French warships steam

Jury Sent Qutside
The State contended that this was sufficient for a charge of leaving the scene of an accident. The jury was sent from the court-room during arguments on the motion. The jury was chosen yesterday and locked up overnight in a downtown hotel upon orders of Criminal Court Judge Dewey E. Myers. Assigned to the custody of a bailiff, the jurors were warned against communicating with any family members or reading newspapers “for the duration.” An agent of the court will serve as an intermediary in any situation calling for the passing of messages between the jurors and thelr families.
Most on Regular Panel
All except two of the jury members, selected after an all-day examination by Russell Dean, defense attorney, and John M. Kelley, deputy prosecutor, were on the regular Marion County panel. They are: Edward A. Fanchally, 540 S. Addison St., a core maker at the International Harvester Co.; Harry E. Thomas, 5273 College Ave. cashier at the Maryland Casualty Co.; Albert S.

Bids for Peace in Spain
8. Spain seems to “hang in the balance between peace and war” but Great Britain looks forward “to seeing Spain take her place as a great Mediterranean power”’—a bid to keep the Madrid Government from a formal military pact with the Axis powers in return for food supplies moving through the British blockade. 9. British armies of the Middle East have been reinforced and the forces there, largely from Australia and New Zealand, are prepared to face any Italian offensive against the Suez Canal. Churchill's strong attitude toward Japan and toward the new triple alliance reflected efforts to line up American and Russian sup-|a port. hurchill strongly emphasized beef that Japan had been dismayed by the reaction of the United States to the ¢“ill-balaniced and strange” threats of the triple alliance. At the present rate of bombing, he said, it would take the Germans 10 years to destroy half of London s houses.

Most of the jurors were excused because they said they had formed previous opinion in the case. Two said they belonged to the same church of which Miss Dawson had been a member. Orie man said he knew Lux. Edward Lux, the defendant’s father, sat at the same table with his son. Lux was indicted by the Marion County Grand Jury on charges of reckless homicide, involuntary manslaughter and failure to stop after an accident. Defense motions to quash the indictments of reckless homicide and involuntary manslaughter were sustained by Judge Myers in a preliminary hearing Sept. 21 and on Sept. 24 Lux appeared in Criminal Court to plead not guilty to a charge of leaving the scene of an
accident.

to send a fighting fleet to the
o| Orient, the Japanese might take the 0 chance of battle, hoping events in
ll Europe would so develop as to compel Great Britain to keep her entire first line strength at home. But serious hazards are attached to any such policy, including uncertainties which surely exist in Tokyo concerning the possible attitude of the United States. Advices today to Americans in the Orient to prepare to leave for home must add to Tokyo's perplexities about future developments. It would seem that natural caution would cause the Japanese to .|check any impetuous urgings that the Burma Road issue be made a cause for war. Some temporary gain against Britain in the Orient

might result if Japan chose to fight. But it would be difficult for Japan’s naval strategists to envisage continuous offensive operations if the war is prolonged until the great new strength of the British fleet is ready for action, not to speak of the unknown element in America’s future policy. Japan, only 75 years out of medievalism, is in danger of being made a cat’s-paw by the two European dictators. The.attitude Tokyo takes toward the reopening of the Burme Road will give some indica‘tion of the extent of the Japanese Government's realization of its responsibilities. To risk the gains Japan has made since its entry into modernism, by becoming obedient to the wishes of Hitler and Mussolini, is not consistent with Japan’s past. Cautious waiting, at this critical time, is Japan’s best policy,” from every standpoint of military and naval strategy, Any other attitude by the Japanese would indicate reckless
disregard of their country’s future.
