Apparently in s00d condition, 1 the Carnavon Castle passed the mouth of the Plate River today on her way to discharge wounded at Montevideo. Excitement ran high along the waterfront there, where it was reported that besides her own crew she might be carrying some of the escaped sailors from the Nazi pocket battleship Graf Spee taken Dec. 4 from a Brazilian ship. | Some sources believed that a sister ship of the Graf Spee, which was sunk in a naval battle off Uruguay, had been the one which the Carnavon Castle had engaged, but the British believed it had been a merchant ship of 10,000 to 12,000 tons of the type of the former German prison ship Altmark, companion of the Graf Spee. London believed that the raider carried guns of about the same size as the Carnavon Castle's, six inches, but that it was two knots faster in speed. ‘The British Navy was reported attempting to close in on the German Dp. The Warspite was rated at six knots faster still and “Jane’s Fighting Ships” listed it as capable of “maintaining a high speed for a ‘long period of time!” in pursuit. It has a cruising range of 4400 miles. | |

Greekltalian ‘War

T Fascist prisoners | were quoted by Athens officials as [saying that Itslian transport planes had cgrried large numbers of reinforcements into Albania in an effort to. stem the Greek advances and presumably to regain domination of South Albania. On the north front, Greek troops were reported within 11 ‘miles of the Elbasan road and in the south they were said to-have surrounded and started annihilation of Italian detachments cut off in the Delvino sector. The Fascists were reported fighting hard but the occupation of Argyrokastron was reported imminent, although not yet claimed by the Greeks. : Jugusiay border | reports said that the Greeks had seen hurled back by Italians defending the town of Delvino, but had [pushed six miles north from Portg Edda and nine miles north of Argyrokastron, and . had captured ountain heights near Premeti and the village of Kokll in the extreme northern fighting sector. | The talk of invading South Italy from Porto Edda indicated Greek - delight at thé outcome of the war so far, although [London said that the port is too vulnerable to Italian air attack to make it of much use for such a purpose. The Greeks renamed it Aghis Saranda (40 - Saints); the Italians had given it the name of Mussolini's daughtr after taking Albania. Von Papen was said to have dis-] cussed the Nazi idea of a truce with the Turkish ow minister but

it was said that the Greeks were not likely to favor the plan, especially since the Nazis suggested that Greece renounce any ties with Great Britain. |

Fascist Shakeup

| 1 Following appointment of Gen. Ugo Cavallero succeed Marshal Pietro Badoglio as chief of staff, the change of command at the Dodecanese emphasized the effects of a powerful British blockade of the islands off the coast of Turkey in the eastern Mediterranean. Food, oil for ships and airplanes and other materials recently had been reported running low on the islands and British sources had confidently forecast their early capitulation, claiming the isles were a liability to Italy instead of the threat to the Suez Canal that Fascists had hoped to make them, The Dodecanese shakeup put the islands in charge of a man known as a soldier rather than a man known as an administrator. Count de Vecchi, ene of the quadrumvirate which led the Fascist march on Rome in 1922, was said to ave resigned “at his own request.” Ais future pl were not disclosed. Gen. Bastico, who succeeded him, is a veteran of the war with Turkey

blitz-a-night” tactics, the German air attack centered last night on Bristol, which was raided fer the 4(third time in the style. Damage to the town was reported great, and there were a number of persons trapped alive in the wreckage of buildings, including a movie theater. British dispatches said that many shops in the working class district were destroyed, but damage to military objectives and the port facilities was concealed by the censors Bristol is the terminal for many supply convoys from the United States and Canada. Last night's raid was its third in succession. In a South Coast English town, eight persons were killed when a

hit on an Anderson (surface) raid shelter. The second air raid on Windsor Castle, summer home of the royal family, was reported today. Three bombs were dropped there last night, and “a number” fell today. The Germans said “British planes made no attempt whatsoever to fly into German territory last night.” The R. A. F. concentrated on the airports which the Nazi planes have been coming in their nightly “devastation raids” beginning with Coventry. Previously the British have made German and Italian ine dustrial centers and possible “invasion ports” on the English Chan« nel their targets. The new British technique seems to be heavy attacks on airdromes in an attempt to keep Germans from getting their planes off the ground.

The Daily Mail suggested that the American neutrality law, which prevents American ships from visit. ing war zones, would soon be repealed, but said that in any case the U. S. Navy had~én unquestioned right to protect American ships to within 100 miles of the British coast, where British planes could take over the convoy.

2 BANDITS ASK QUICK JUSTICE

Pair Captured in 60 M. P. H. ‘Chase May Be on Way to. Prison Next Week.

(Continued from Page One) ,

Martin and Higgie to be on their way to prison next week. They said they would plead guilty and that they wanted “to get it over with.” Judge Clark then raised their bond from $5000 to $10,000 apiece

and inquired about Leonard Lesley,

53, of 22d St. and Talbot Ave., driver

of the taxi in which the bandits fled

from the holdup scene. Driver's Arm Broken

Patrolman Arch N. Ball, who participated in the capture, testified

that Lesley “shot at me” and that the cab driver was in City Hospital with a broken arm, charged with vagrancy and held under a $5000 bond. : Judge Clark raised Lesley’s bond to $10,000 and a hearing was set for Dec. 31. Efficient operation of the twoway police radio system and a flood of volunteered information was credited with the capture of the gunman in a 60-mile-an-hour chase. At 2:09 p. m. yesterday Lieut. Dan} Scanlon, headquarters desk lieutenant, got a phone call that the robbery was in progress. At 2: 20 p. m, the bandits were in custody. Patrolman Raymond Moistner, in a one-man squad car, made ‘the capture at Riley and Washington Sts., about five and one-half miles from the holdup scene.

Fires With Left Hand

Firing with his left hand and driving his car at 60 miles an hour with his right, Patrolman Moistner rammed into the back end of a taxi .commandeered by the bandits and knocked it over the curb. He jumped from his cruiser and covered the bandits with a shotgun. Police were able to get a quick start in the chase because of the daring of Miss Evelyn Durbin, 26, an employee of the finance company, whose desk is near the rear of the office. When the two gunmen entered the office, one of them yelled: “This |; is a stickup.” Partially hidden by a pillar, Miss Durbin slipped out a rear door and had a man call police. That was the call made at 2:09 p. m.

Bandits Seize $200

Meanwhile, the bandits had seized about $200 and fled to a taxi which headed to Washington St. and turned east. Patrolmen Ball and James O’Brien

{swung into the wild chase.

“We were so close to that cab that we bumped the rear end 50 or 60 times,” Patrolman Ball said today. But in the exchange of gunshots,

they were unable to pull around

the cab. Patrolman Moistner was alongside Patrolmen Ball and O’Brien, however. “When one shot hit the front of my car, that made me mad,” Patrolman Moistner said. “Then I drove around No, 44 (Ball and O’Brien’s car) because I had a faster car, and got right behind the taxi. At Riley, I ran into the back end of it, knocking it over the

curb. Grabs Shotgun

“I had fired all the shots out of my revolver, shooting with my. left hand out the window and driving with my right hand. I grabbed the shotgun which was on the seat, jumped out of the car, threw one shell in it, and the fellows came out of the. cab with their hands up.

’s.\By that time all the police had

come up and the crowd had collected.” Throughout the chase, Lieut, Scanlon and Patrolman Irvin McClain, dispatcher, took turns at the radio and telephone as residents on the route of the chase swamped the switchboard with volunteer information. credited Patrolman McClain with much of the work which brought

chase. Higgie and Martin signed a statement which said that they came to Indianapolis about 8 a. m. yesterday to pick out a spot for a holdup. While robbing the finance company, Martin saw a man look. in the yi after Miss Durbin had run out the rear door, : ea better get going,” he said 0

Hull Confirms Talks on Spanish Loan, Denies Trade With Mexico.

probably would be contingent on Spain’s continued neutrality. The Spanish Government has been seeking a TU. 8. loan, through the Export-Import Bank, for some time, with a view to using the money for the purchase of foodstuffs, particularly wheat, and gasoline, -The loan proposal is known to have been discussed in Madrid between Alexander W. Weddell, U. S. Ambassador to Spain, and Sir Samuel Hoare, British Ambassador to the same country. A major consideration in all matters pertaining to a possible loan has been the effect it would have on Spain’s neutrality. One group of officials is said to feel that the loan would deter Spain from entering the conflict, while another group contends that Spain’s inner condition makes it impossible for her to fight, loan or no loan. + . Mexican Reports Conflict . Despite Secretary Hull's denials that negotiations were under way between the United States and Mexico looking toward a trade of warships for bases, some diplomatic observers said that preliminary talks have been going on for some time. They said Mexico was very desirous of obtaining from this country a number of destroyers for patrol duty and money with which to build up its naval bases. They emphasized that the United States would not lease bases in Mexico under such an arrangement.| These sources said that at least three Mexican ports were under consideration as possible base sites — Acapulco and Salinas Cruz on the west coast and Vera Cruz on the east coast. From $25,000,000 to $30,000,000 would be required to develop all three sites, it was said. Knox Plans Are Secret In making his request for naval anti-aircraft protection, which Secretary Knox said had been approved by the Bureau of the Budget, the Secretary said that the type and nature of the protective work must remain secret. He said that it had been based on experience in the European war and in American fleet maneuvers over some time. It was reported that the Navy plans to employ extra anti-aircraft guns as a protective device. rather than additional overhead armament such as was suggested by former Navy Secretary Charles Edison.

1-Shot Trawler

Nets Submarine

NEW YORK, Dec. 7 (U. P.).— The Italian submarine cruising off the Port of Aden was fully armed and the British trawler was “pintsized” with only one machine gun mounted on deck—hut let A. D.

(Dunk) Moir, American mining engineer tell the story as he said a British officer gave it to him, The trawler was mine-sweeping when the submarine bobbed to the surface. It looked like the end of the trawler. The guns were in the hold and all they had on deck was one machine gun. “But they decided to fight it out, and while the sailors were bringing up the guns the fire from the one machine gun was played on the conning tower to keep the Italians from manning their deck guns. : “When the men brought up the. light cannon the sub still was there. So they let one shot go and punctured the conning tower. “The sub never made any attempt to do anything. After the shell hit they hoisted the white flag and the whole crew started jumping overboard. The trawler crew had to beat them off because they would have capsized the small ship if they had all tried to clamber aboard. “A prize crew found everything okay on the sub and brougat it into Aden under its own power.”

FLU WAVE SPREADS ON PACIFIC COAST

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 7 (U.P). —An epidemic of influenza, waning in California, increased in Oregon and other Western states today, sweeping schools, Army camps and other areas of concentrated population.. Additional schools were closed in many parts of the West, but health authorities predicted that the epidemic, characterized by the speed of its spread and its mildness, probably would have run its course by Christmas. Army authorities ventured that about 5000 mild cases had occurred in all Pacific Coast encampments among the 40,000 men now in uniform.
