BEAST INVASION ARMY OFF SHIPS

British Claim Vital Nazi War Factories Crippled; Civilian

Dead in London Raids During September Placed at 6954.

‘Ajax and Achilles which defeated the German pocket battle-

ship Graf Spee last December in the South Atlantic.

Although London reported the lighest night bombard-

ment in several weeks, Liverpool took a pounding. In the middle of the afternoon, German air squadrons

dropped explosives on the east coast of Scotland before flee-

ing from swift Royal Air Force counter-attacks. Two women Nore buried in the debris of a building but were rescued alive. Because of bad weather the British limited offensive action to attacks on the German-held European coast. Berlin's report of the air war was at wide variance with that from British sources. 1t was claimed that “hundreds” of Nazi warplanes attacked Britain during the night and continued their raids into the daylight hours. General renewal of Italian aerial bombardment of Brit-

ish positions in Egypt and the Near East was announced

in Italy’s war communique. Long-range guns bombarded Dover harbor, Berlin said, scattering a British convoy. eight points in German-held France were admitted. : London Predicts New Fighter Ready-

London predicted that new secret fighter and bomber planes would be brought into action soon to combat the threat of the new German tactics. By use of bomb-carrying fighter and destroyer planes the Germans have cut sharply the ratio of their losses. British-Russian relations. it was reported, have deteriorated and small hope was seen in London for any general reconciliation. It was believed in London that Russia would not resist the Axis*consolidation of control of the Balkans and it was believed that Finland was slipping out of the Russian sphere into that of Germany: Belief persisted that a Russo-Japanese non-aggression treaty might be signed soon. Latest friction between Russia and Britain concerned disposition of 10 Estonian and Latvian merchant ships which Britain requisitioned over Russian protests. A somewhat similar view was indicated at Ankara where the semi-official newspaper Ulus warned that the

basic Soviet policy is one of absolute neutrality and said that Russia was “concerned only with its own interests.”

China Gets Burma Road Supplies

The Far East was relatively quiet. Chinese supplies moved up the Burma Road. No Japanese bombing had yet been reported. Tokyo newspaper columnists made dire predictions of the fate of Great Britain and the United States because of their aid to China and a crisis seemed to be in the offing over transit of shipments to the Chinese through Hongkong. Dependents of United States navel men prepared to leave Manila when shipping facilities become available. . Excitement spread in India over reports, so far unconfirmed, that Vinoba Bhave, director of Mohandas K. Gandhi’s civil disobedience campaign, had been arrested. The share market at Bombay was closed in protest. Reports of trouble came from two Ghrinan occupied territories. Demonstrations were said to be spreading in Norway in protest against the administration of adherents of Maj. Vidkun Quisling and in France it was announced that anyone harboring British citizens after Sunday would be shot.’ j Two Vichy Government decrees barred France's 150,000 native Jews from participation in French public life and some private activities and authorized the confinement in concentration camps of any of hundreds of thousands of foreign Jews if they oppose the “national revolution.” In the Dutch East Indies, Japanese demands for oil supplies to offset the Uinted States oil embargo appeared likely to be met, according to reports from Tokyo. In Bangkok, the Government said, Siam will renew de-

the Cambodia and Laos districts of French Indo-China. The demands were rejected by the Vichy Government last week.

four or five speeches daily and several major addresses each week. In the final fortnight of the campaign the two candidates will come closest to that debate for which Mr. Willkie challenged Mr. Roosevelt in his Aug. 17 acceptance speech at Elwood, Ind.

Mr. Roosevelt's final fortnight speaking schedule is as foliows: Philadelphia, = Oct. 23; Madison Square Garden, New York, Oct. 28; Washington, Oct. 30; €leveland, O., Nov. 2, and Hyde Park, N. Y., Nov. 4. Although he will travel to Cleveland, Philadelphia and New York with all the oompah of a cam-paign-special train, Mr. Roosevelt’s journeys will be within the 400-mile radius from Washington to which he has limited his movements during the international emergency. Mr. Willkie has moved from coast to coast. The Republican candidate's activity has given the G. O. P. campaign a publicity bulge | which some Democrats believed most | effectively could be overcome by unlimbering their own big guns. The Democratic high command is wholly confident of election results. But among the campaign organization there is speculation regarding the possibility of persuading . former National Committee

a hand. Farley speeches would be welcome,

especially for their effect in Massa- |

chusetts and New York.

English. When armistice with Germany became inevitable,- the French held it up 11 days to allow every British soldier to get back to the islands. Fears Famine

“Third, food sent to Free France would without any doubt be distrib-

will starve this winter without it. That is not true with food that might be sent to Occupied France or Spain, which are Nazi dominated. But it is true with Free France, and the people there have very little food. “Fourth, if food is not sent to Free France for this winter, then the hungry people will riot, and Germany will step in saying ‘You cannot govern your own people, so we’ll have to’ Then the Germans will distribute food and attempt to create a predominantly pro- -Nazi sentiment, and co-operation in the production of war essentials.” France collapsed, he said, for three reasons: Because the politicians had lied and spent armament money for other things— leaving the country virtually unarmed; because thousands of Fifth Columnists filtered into France with the refugees who actually were fleeing Germany for their lives; and because France sent its army to Belgium to meet a larger and better equipped German Army on behalf of Belgian and was betrayed by Belgium. Foresees P. S. Trouble Dr. Sparks rather expects the next theater of war to be in the Pacific Ocean, he says. That brought up the question: “Do you think this country will become involved?” Dr. Sparks smiled. “It is absolutely certain.” “When?” “You must remember,” he said, “that there are two parties to a war. One of them alone can not say when or where. The choice does not necesarily have to be voluntary on our part.”

BUSINESS FEARS GUT JOBS, WILLKIE SAYS

of the Missouri Capital at Jefferson City, Mr. Willkie declared Mr, Jefferson had said: __ “That if this Government continues to spend money at the rate it is spending, if it violates or the people permit it to violate those principles against concentration of power and long continuation of the occupancy of the Presidency by one man, this free way of life will pass.” The only answering arguments he has heard from “those who have captured the party founded by this great liberal,” Mr. Willkie said, are: “Smear, silence, make-believe military inspection trips and the arguments that Wendell Willkie is an amateur and the third term candidate is a professional.”

Admits He’s Amateur

“There's not much use to argue that point—*“I'll admit it,” Mr. Willkie said. “I'll admit that I am a complete amateur when it comes to taking relief money and forcing men to vote because the Government performs a soeial obligation in keeping them from starving. Proclaim to everybody that Wendell Willkie will never trade bread for votes among those who can least afford independence. “Yes, I am a political amateur; I do not know how to sit down in dark rooms with Frank Hague and the Kelly-Nashes of Chicago and plan smears and the stealing of votes while posing as a liberal. “If it were. not so very serious, we could all get a good laugh out of the campaign tactics of the New Deal Party. Wallace Ridiculed

“The Democratic National Committee campaigns on a platform of no more jobs, and now the candidate for the Vice Presidency (Henry A. Wallace) has made his contribution by predicting that if the Republicans are elected, we will have a depression. That is like telling a man who is lying flat on his back that if _he isn’t careful, he may fall down.” In his speech in the St. Louis arena last night, Mr. Willkie pledged that if he is elected President, “We won't send our bogs over there again.” “But by the same token, I believe if you elect the third-term candidate they will be sent,” he added.

Beware Coughs Following Flu

After the flu is over and gone, the cough that follows may develo into chronic bronchitis if neglected. Creomulsion relieves promptly because it goes right to the seat of the trouble to help loosen and expel germ laden phlegm, and aid nature to soothe and heal raw, tender, inflamed bronchial mucous membranes.

tinéd for the Untied States. According to Dutch information revealed today Germany is now concetrating on this plan. Emphasis that Japanese honor requires this form of retaliation would be a probable form of German propaganda. Another German way of incitement would be to magnify and distort American desires and intentions in the Orient, hoping to inflame the Japanese péople. The Japanese, however, are showing no disposition to become the sacrificial instruments of Nazi aims at this time.
