BERLIN DEMANDS 3 CITIES SURRENDER

Russian Attempt to Defend

Called ‘Nonsense’: Few German Raiders

Bomb Capita

BERLIN, July 25 (U. P.).—Authoritative informants indicated today that the Air attacks on Leningrad, Moscow and Kiev in an effort to break Russian resistance behind the front and force the surrender

of the three key cities.

It was said that Russian cities, containing many wooden houses, were especially vulnerable to airplane attack, and

the informants expressed the would use “Warsaw tactics” i are not surrendered. These tactics are to bomb

he striking ground forces continue past it, leaving a be-

spite or mercy while

sieging force. “Individual German bombers” attacked Moscow last night, today’s High Command communique said, indicating that the raid was not so heavy as previous attacks and presumably was directed against

selected objectives in the eastern part of the city and north of the Kremlin, Odessa, chief port of the Ukraine, was also attacked,

‘According to Plan’ The communique again admitted “severe fighting” in some sectors, but insisted that despite the fierce Soviet resistance, operations continue te “proceed according to plan.”

For this reason, informants tacitly advised Russia to surrender

Leningrad, Moscow and Kiev with- |

out further fight, “to avoid destruction and loss of life.” They said there were ‘growing indications” that these key cities would be defended instead of being declared open towns so the Ger-

mans could march triumphantly in |

unopposed. Such tactics, they said. would prove futile and would only increase destruction and loss of life.

Military Nonsense

Today's Deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung commenting on reports that the Moscow population had never conceived the idea of declaring the capital an open city, said:

“What military nonsense, and

what a crime against the inhabi-|

rants the mad command for the defense of Warsaw was almost two years ago, apparently has not been noted in Moscow, and this frivolous statement again shows what human lives are worth to the Bolshevists.” Informants said that on the Kiev front east of Zhitomir, “all Soviet military resistance was broken when two German storm battalions yroke into the last remnants of the Stalin Line and following regiments rolled up filed fortifications from the flank.”

GERMAN PLANES

Only One Reaches Capital And It is Shot Down, Russians Claim.

| MOSCOW, July 25 (U. P).— Russian night fighter planes and anti-aircraft batteries turned back two German aerial fleets which attempted to raid Moscow during the night as the Russian armies far to (the west threw back German attacks on the Moscow and Kiev fronts. It was asserted officially that but one German plane succeeded in breaking through the defense ring of the Moscow area and that it was brought down by anti-aircraft guns {| The first air raid alarm was [sounded at 9:45 p. m. (2:45 p. m | Thursday Indianapolis Time), when la German fleet was detected on its way to Moscow. Fighting Still Fierce

Night fighter planes went up and ‘the gun crews got into action. The “all clear” was sounded after one hour and 25 minutes without incident. Later there was another alarm {period of two hours, and on this attempt, it was said officially, the one German plane got through. The afternoon communique reported intensive fighting on the | Finnish, Moscow and Kiev fronts, | with battles in progress at five sep|arate points—the Petrozavodsk sector near Lake Ladoga, the Rorkov,

CUBA RESISTS AXIS DESIGNS

Argentina .and Bolivia Also Crack Down, Alleging Treasonable Acts.

BUENOS AIRES, July 25 (U. P.). — Argentina, Cuba and Bolivia moved today to clamp down on alleged Axis activities designed, they! charged, to seize control of their| (governments. |

A raid on the German building!

here, which houses the German Embassy and Consulate-General, was said to have turned up documents revealing an important Nazi espionage organization. The Cuban Cabinet was understood to be considering stringent measures to deal with Axis spies. It was charged that some already had sought to gain information “whose object is the invasion of Cuban national territory.” Echoes of a Nazi revolutionary plot in Bolivia were heard in Antofagasta, Chile, where the expelled German minister to Bolivia, Ernest Wendler, charged he was the victim of a frame-up and by implication blamed the United States. In the Bolivian capital, Maj. Elias Belmonte, alleged principal in the unsuccessful “putsch,” was formally expelled from the Army. Buenos Aires police raided Ateneo Renacimiento Espanol, alleged communist center, and arrested 54 men, and 12 women. | Japan figured in charges made | in Ecuador that Japanese troops, were fighting alongside Peruvian, soldiers in the border hostilities be- | tween the two countries.

Russians Discuss American Help With Hopkins In London.

LONDON, July 25 (U. pP)-—! American officials discussed ques-| tions of United States aid to Rus-| sia today with Soviet representa- | tives and it was learned a Soviet mission is expected to go to Washington shortly, The mission, it was learned, will be headed by Lieut. Gen. Filip L.| Golikov, head of the Red Army delegation sent to London imme-| diately after the outbreak of the| Russo-German war. Gen. Golikov will be accompanied by Col. Alexander Repin, Soviet Army engineering expert.

This revelation came after a conference at the American Embassy at which U. S. aid to Russia was discussed. by Lease-Lend Administrator Harry L. Hopkins, U. S.

Turkey’s Fears

Are Increasing |

ANKARA, Turkey, July 25 (U. P) —Reports of increasing Bulgarian~“German military activity today heightened the suspicion of military observers that the Nazi war machine may attempt to speed-up] the attack on Russia by a move across Turkey against the Soviet] Caucasus frontier. : Reports received here continue to indicate, these observers said, that] the German offensive into Russia is bogging down and that danger of a stalemate is rising. | The apparent lack of German) progress, these sources said, may be; increasing pressure on the Nazi High Comnrand to attempt a diver- | sion across Turkey. {

FLORSHEIM SHOE

Report Division ‘Wiped Out’ |

It was indicated that not only, were thé Russian troops holding the Germans back but were driving into the German infantry lines in strong | and successful counter-attacks.

The communique asserted that the 5th German infantry division was entirely wiped out on the Smolensk stretch of the front as soon as it went into action. (A German infantry division numbers about 15,000 men.) As regards German claims of advances in individual sectors, it was emphasized that the Russian High Command was concerned with the larger situation, and espécially in preserving its resources in men and machines, and in keeping its communications intact in order that its forces might close in behind advance tank spearheads and fight frontal battles with the main bodies of the German armies.

LONDON, July 25 (U. P).—The 1375-ton destroyer Fearless was sunk and one merchant ship was] hit in an Italian attack on a Brit- | ish convoy in the Mediterranean, the Admiralty said today.

Admiralty said. { An Admiralty communique on the engagement said: “Naval operations connected with] the passage of a convoy through the Mediterranean ave been tak-! ing ple ce. “During the operations our forces were subjected to a series of heavy air attacks by day during which a number of enemy aircraft were shot down and to attacks by E-| boats at night. “Only preliminary reports have so far been received but it is known | that only one merchant ship was| damaged and that she was able to! continue with the convoy under her own power. “The Admiralty regrets to announce that in course of operations the destrover Fearless was sunk.”

AMERICANS COMING HOME TOMORROW

LISBON, July 25 (U. P.).—Expelled U. S. Consular employees and American nationals from Germany, German-occupied territory and Italy prepared today to depart for the United States aboard the U. S. Navy transport, West Point, tomorrow. The last of three trains bringing Americans from Nazi territory arrived here at 5 a. m. today. The passengers reported several delays, including a 48-hour wait at the French-Spanish border which was attributed by the Germans to “technical difficulties.” Some members of the American party said they noticed agents of the German Gestapo aboard the train. Others believed that the Nazi representatives accompanied the American group all the way to Lisbon and said they had noticed presumed Gestapo agents several times aboard the trains which rought the Americans here. However, none of the Americans was approached by the Gestapo men, it was said, and German officials dealt only with the leaders of the consular group and were

NEW YORK, July 2% (U. P).— Julius Kwiatowsky has spent half of his 71 years in prison but his excuse for not revealing his home address in court today was: “I don’t want my wife to know I'm a criminal.” “Why,” General Sessions Judge Jomah Goldstein exclaimed,” “Ydu've been going to prison since 1901.” The judge went on through a long record, a year in jail here and three years there, and to all of this Kwiatkowsky nodded agreement. | “Now,” Judge Goldstein said, “you plead guilty to passing a forged check. All right, then, where do you live?” “I won't say judge,” the man repeated, “my wife would feel badly if she found out about me.” He will be sentenced July 29.
