(AP) The Japanese army’s first maj or offensive in nearly a year appeared today to have resulted in a definite Japanese setback with heavy losses. Chinese reports declared, without Japanese denials, that the columns which had been driving on Changsha, capital of Ilunan province, had been thron back, and were with drawing across the Mi river, 40 miles north of the city. A few days ago, the Japanese reported their advanced units in suburbs of Changsha, port of the Siang river, about 80 miles southwest of Hankow.

Louisiana Senator Makes Plea For Keeping Os Arms Embargo Repeal Will Re Tan tamount to “Armed Intervention” Ry America, Over ton, Habitual S up porter of Roosevelt, Asserts. Washington, Oct. 5. — (AP) —Sen- ator Overton, Democrat, Louisiana, urging retention of the existing arms embargo, told the Senate today that the sales of armaments to European belligerents would constitute “arm ed intervention on the part of Amer ica.” Carrying on the opposition argu ment to the administration's neu trality bill, the Louisiana senator as serted: “Let us not entertain the fend de lusion that raising the embargo is not a step toward war. Soon the American dollar will be following American arms, and the American flag and the American soldier will be following both to the battlefields of Europe.” “For my part,” he declared, “I anuin willing to take a step that may and probably will lead us into a for eign war that will make widows of our wives, orphans of our children, corpses of our young men and bank rupts of us all.” Overton said that “neutrality and national defense are the twin sisters of peace for America.” “I fear no successful invasion of the United States by any foreign na (Continued on Page Four) Bremen Crew Is Now Safe In Germany Berlin, Oct. 5. —(AP) —The news paper Frankfurter Zeitung reported today that the crew of the German liner Bremen —more than 900 men— returned to Bremerhaven last Fri day after docking the ship in a neu tral port. The newspaper did not identify the neutral port, but said the Bremen’s company, along with the crew of the steamship Iller, reached Bremer haven on the steamship Sierra Cor doba. The Iller and Sierra Cordoba are both German vessels. Homecoming seamen were given a cheering reception, and the Bremen’s captain was made a commodore by Adolf Hitler. The Frankfurter Zeitung said the Bremen reached the neutral port safely. (The latest report of the where abouts of the Bremen, flagship of the German merchant fleet, was that carried to Oslo Tuesday by a sailor who said he saw her in Murmansk, Russian Arctic port. Submarine Lands Crew Sunken Ship London, Oct. s.—(AP)—The Brit ish press association said today that a German submarine, which landed 28 men from the torpedoed Greek steamer Diamantis on the Irish coast acted too quickly for guards of neu tral Ireland to attempt interment of the U-boat. The ship’s crew was set ashore last evening near Dingle, County Kerry. First reports from Dublin said the submarine exchanged greetings with persons ashore, while the Diamantis’ survivors were ferried to land. The Diamantis was sunk off Land’s End Tuesday. “Civic guards patrolling the coast saw the submarine on the surface and rushed to the spot, the press as sociation’s account said. “But they were too late to detain the U-boat. While they were still some distance away, the submarine moved away from the coast and started to sub merge.” Six of the survivors were taken to Dengel hospital for treatment of in juries in the torpedoing. The others said they had been aboard the U- 1 boat for 36 hours and were treated courteously while it cruised off (he Irish coast seeking a spot to put them ashore. lOoaihsui FOR NORTH CAROLINA.

French Reinforcements Minimize German Threat Paris, Oct. s.—(AP)—The French army was reported today to have strengthened its position so greatly by recent gains on the northwestern end of the front facing Germany as to minimize the danger of any at tempt to turn its left flank by a thrust through neutral Luzembourg. Military advices said the French army was in full possession of the Borg forest, after a brief close-range battle between French and German tanks. The forest is in the strategic sector between the Moselle and Saar rivers, just east of Luxembourg. Safety Zone Difficulty Is Seen By The British Murphy Declines Senate’s Request Washington, Oct. 5. (AP) Attorney General Frank Murphy declined today to comply in full with a Senate resolution asking him to list the powders accruing to President oßosevelt in a state of emergency or in war times. “To comply with this resolu tion”, Murphy informed the Sen ate, “would require me to give an opinion to the Senate on legal phases of the subject mat ter of the resolution.” However, the attorney general listed more than 100 statues without comment which he said by their terms granted powers that might be exercised by the chief executive in emergency or state of war. New Protocol For Germany And Russia Moscow, Oct. S.—(AP) —Soviet Russia and Germany have signed an additional protocol to their friendship and border treaty, fix ing a precise frontier between them in conquered and partitioned Po land. The protocol was signed yester day. (The boundary had been set previously in the treaty signed Sep tember 28 at Moscow, but was iden tified only by a map attached to the pact. The line, most of it along the Bug and San rivers, divides Po land into two nearly equal parts.) It was agreed that a mixed com mission would begin work October 9 placing frontier stones along the boundary of the Nazi and Com munist “spheres of interest” in con quered Poland. It was disclosed that a German trade delegation would arrive here next Sunday for nego tiations. Hungary Restores Her Relationship With the Soviets Budapest, Oct. 5. (AP) Hungary, whose government has maintained a policy of watchful silence with war at her borders, has completed es tablishment of diplomatic rela tions with Soviet Russia. The relations were broken last Feb ruary when Hungary signed the anti-comintern pact with Ger many, Italy and Japan. German eagerness to increase the flow of war supplies from Hungary, meanwhile, was seen in diplomatic quarters in the appointment of a consul in the heart of a rich Hungarian agri cultural section. With southeastern , Europe anxious to preserve its sideline role in the war, a general truce among all Roumanian political parties was proposed in an at tempt “to get our own house in order for any eventuality.” PUBLISHED EVERY AFTERNOON EXCEPT SUNDAY.

London Naval Quar ters Think It Will Be Almost Impossible to Enforce; British Co operation in Under taking Pledged* London, Oct. S.—(AP) British naval quarters declared today that the smaller American republics might find it virtually impossible to establish effective control in carry ing out the safety zone project agreed upon in Panama. Only the United States, with a large and powerful navy, might be able to enforce the plan around its own coast, a spokesman said. Britain, he asserted, would do everything in her power to aid the American re publics’ ideals, but would not limit or abandon belligerent rights or ac cess to the West Indies or other colonies. The spokesman said that he could not make a definite statement on the legality of the safety zone, but that obviously it would have to be accept ed by the belligerent powers and en forced by the American “participat ing powers” to have any effect.

Permanent officials of the League have been told what to do in an air raid. Sandbags have been piled, along the long passageways under the palace, and dark blue curtains already are hanging at its exits. Military men who • inspected the basement called it bomb proof, even though few members of the assem bly dreamed of providing favorite refugee against air warfare when they decided in 1934 to erect the building. This New War Is Puzzle For Folks And Nations By CHARLES P. STEWART Central Press Columnist Washington, Oct. 5. —From a news paper standpoint this war is a very unsatisfactory conflict. It’s frightfully expensive to “cov- er,” and despite its costliness, it yields mighty little news i that mean any-; thing to the in nocent bystander.

Berlin, Oct. 5. — (AP) —Germans pinned their peace hopes today on the possibility that Adolf Hitler’s Reichstag speech tomorrow would outline a basis on which hostilities might be ended. The fuehrer was scheduled to speak at noon ((5 a. m. EST) to the members of his completely submis sive legislature, possibly not to pro nounce some new German attitude toward the western powers at war with Germany, but what Hitler in tended to say remained a profound official secret, and in official circles it was emphasized that speculation on his speech was “hazardous and a disservice to every one.” Hitler left for Warsaw this morn ing to review a triumphal parade by Nazi troops, according to informed sources, but he planned to be back before the day was over, these sour ces added. Tomorrow, the fuehrer is schedul ed to speak for one and three-fourths hours. Observers, seeking a hint of what German policy may be, knew that in quarters close to the foreign office there was dissatisfaction with the at titude of British Prime Minister Chamberlain and Lord Halifax, his foreign secretary. They knew also that from inspired sources have come repeated .statements that “Germany is ready for either peace or war,” and that the choice is up to Great Britain. Bank Bandits Running Riot In Oklahoma Picher, Okla., Oct. 5. —(AP) — Three desperadoes revived Okla homa's rip-roaring bank banditry days with a sensational threat to blow up a Picher bank with nitro glycerine after capturing a sales man and holding him captive more than 40 hours. The $1,195 hold-up of the First Slate Bank here, and another at Webbers Falls were the first in 19 months in Oklahoma. Nitroglycerine bandits started their splurge Monday night, with the kidnaping of Raymond C. Quirk, 49-year-old Tulsa salesman, at Binita. Tuesday they robbed a Miami filling station “for cigarette money.” they sent their leader, the 25-year-old blonde, to rob the richer bank, while a second stood guard outside and a third held Quirk hostage, 17 miles away. The blonde bandit pulled out the bottle, partially filled with a col ored liquid and demanded $5,000 from Cashier W. A. Brewer, “or I’ll blow this place sky high.” Prewi'r shoved out a sack of bills. The youth grabbed the money, lied to a waiting car, and returned to Quirk. The salesman said “he threatened to shoot me with a big 4 5, but I protested I hadn’t done anything, so they decided just to tie me up in my automobile”. news, until it gets tiresome Which would be ail right ii there were a bit of reliability about the war dope; but nobody has the slightest idea how truthful any of it is.
