W \m II Paris Sources Say Nazi Chief Is Heeding The Warnings of'General Staff Paris, Nov. 2.?Neutral reports reached Paris yesterday that Chan cellor Adolf Hitler, finally heeding warnings of his-general staff, ap pears to have postponed until next year any major offensive on the Western Front after examining the results of Nasi "feeler" attacks dur ing the past week. Sharp fighting was reported today along the curving front from the Moselle River eastward to Saarbrue cken and the Blies Valley, where Ger man guns mid advance troops made lightning thrusts against Allied pbtf tions in advance of the Maginot line. Ikfktttry Active. Tonighffe French War Office com munique, No. 119, said: "Dfcrihg the day there was habit ual activity of light infantry ele ments on both sfdes at various sides at various points of the frOnt." The French contended, however, thiittbe German initiative Of the last 24* ho&s has been designed merely to liberate the last territory of the Star Valley remaining under fire of Allied guiis and that the Nazis after breaking the French grip on Saaihruecken, were trying to liber ate SaarlAUtern and the nearby in dustrial towns of Voelklingen and Rehlingen. The Germans also were said to be striking almost daily in efforts to rout the French complete ly from Warndt Forest. The recent German attacks on the Rhine-Moselle front, according to the neutral reports, were said to have oonvinced the German high command and finally Hitler that without prop er artillery preparations sufficient tb blast holes in the Maginot Line any immediate offensive would cost enorpaoua casualties. The decision to delay the antici pated German offensive was said to have bm taken after a Nazi "try out attack" along the Moselle Val ley on October 16 and around Zwei bruecken the following day. Crack Troops Used. ' ! During today German infantry groups supported-by artillery thrust against. the French lines at a half dozen points along the most active pxrt of the Rhine-Moselle front from the Moselle to the Blies River. The tentative thrusts followed in tensive shelling of French rear lines, including several villages, by the big gest Nazi, guns yet brought into action. . ?- -r-iz-v.

Norwegian authorities kept seeret any information they might have about the freighter, which is being sailed by a German prise crew, but shipping circles here expressed the belief the ship was nearing waters in the vicinity of Bergen. This view was based on calculations of the time required after she left Trom soe at 4 p. m. Monday. The last direct information on the vessel was the report of her being sighted yesterday off Lodingen Light ?600 miles north of hete-^en routs from Murmansk, Soviet Russian Arctic port, to some port in Ger many. Shipping circles' held it was* un likely the City of Flint would put ih here since Bergen is a naval base. Informed Norwegians said of he vessel stopped here she would ?e interned. Shipping circles said Hamburg ap peared t^e likely destination of the flint, but German authorities said they would give no farther informa tion on her. > The last time she was sighted the City of Flint was followed by a Nor wegian destroyer to make certain regulations for'her passage through Norwegian waters were observed. Shipping circles thought the ves sel would stay in Norwegian waters, then keep to the Swedish territorial waters before going into the Baltic where sea lines are in control of the German fleet w Wartime Economy Must fte Avoided ? Washing on, Nqv. 2.?Assistant Attorney General Thurman Arnold today told ther federal monopoly com mittee that the national economy must be protected from distortion by extraordinary demands of the Euro pean War. The chief of the justice's anti trust division said that the steel in dustry particularly must meet- with '^patriotic spirit" the responsibilities of allaying any move toward a war time economy. His statement opened a study by the committee of the price structure of the $4,000,000,000 industry. Heads of the nation's great steel plants hive been summoned to testify. "Steel iB the metal of walr as well as of peace," Arnold said. "Extra ordinary demands will be made updn the ihdnstry in the near ftoture. "We, as neutrals, have a great task before us?to see to it that our economy is not distorted because of Mttteone else's war." ' . Hitler wants peace in Europe upon his terms and Japan wants peace in the Far East upon her terms. Both say that anybody that opposes them wants war. i i ' i ?" ii i II : New York,, Nov. 1.?-In New York, ?

'? ? t I Roosevelt Quotes Record To Reveal Russian Chief Once Backed Peace MoveI Re-Issues M e s s a ge from Soviet President Sympathizing With Appeal to Adolf Hitler Washington, Nov. 2.?President Roosevelt tonight slapped bade at Russian Premier V. Molotov's crit icism of United States foreign policy by making public an exchange of messages disclosing that last April Soviet Russian President M. Kalinin had sympathized with his appeal to Adolf Hitler for preservation of world peace. Release of the messages followed a tense day in which the White House Secretary Stephen T. Early bluntly charged Moiotov with med dling in American affair* and Rep resentative John W. McCormack, D., Mass., demanded from the House floor that Laurence Steinhardt, American ambassador to Moscow, be recalled. The exchange occurred on April 16, two days after Mr. Roosevelt's historic appeal to Hitler to guaran tee at last ten years of peace in Europe. A similar appeal was dis patched to Premeir Benito Musso lini of Italy by Secretary of State CoVrdell Hull but neither, was ever answered directly. "Noble Appeal." Kalinin's telegram said: "Mr. President: "I consider it my pleasant duty to convey to you my cordial con gratulations and an expression of profound sympathy with the noble appeal which you have addressed to the governments of Germany and Italy. You may rest assured that your initiative finds most ardent re sponse in the hearts of the peoples of the Soviet Socialist Union. "Sincerely desirous of preservation of universal peace. "Kalinin." To this cablegram, Mr. Roosevelt responded as follows: "I have received your friendly message and am glad to learn that your views with regard to my ef forts on behalf of world peace are similar to those expressed to me by the heads of numerous other states. "Franklin D. Roosevelt." , ? Effect of the publication was to place on record Kalinin's support of Mr. Roosevelt's peace .program in . contrast, to Molotov's declaration be fore the Soviet Parliament that President Roosevelt was meddlin^in delicate negotiations between and Finland by lending his "moral support" to Finland. ? . Russia Roiled. MototbVs remarks were based on Mir. Roosevelt's recent cablegram to v Kalinin expressing the hope, that Soviet expansion in the Baltic states would ** end?nger the ereignty or integrity of the Finnish republic. "One might think," thejPremxe^^ said sarcastically, "thai mailers are ?in better shape between the United ? States, and, et us say, the Philip ? pines or Cuba, which have long ?been demanding freedom and inde ? pendence from the United States and ?can not get them, than between the I Soviet Union and Finland, -which has ?long ago attained both freedom and ?political^ independence frwp the Sovi I et Union.
