Opposing Armies On Western Front Ap proximately Back Where War Began Eight Weeks Ago; French Yield Early | Gains. Paris, Oct. 23. — (AP) — Early win ter floods aided France’s “super guerrilla” war against Germany as the opposing armies settled down to day in the approximate positions they occupied at the outbreak of hos tilities. The French, having relinquished virtually all positions on German soil seized in the first seven weeks of the war, indicated their tactics were aimed at sapping Germany’s civilian morale while avoiding “needless” sacrifice of their troops. The only type of action now be ing waged on the front, they said, consists of a kind of “guerrilla war fare, involving skirmishes by pa trols constantly seeking to chart enemy positions. Apparently pointing to a continued lack of large scale military activity was a war ministry announcement that beginning November 1, men with France’s armed forces would be granted ten days leave lor every four months of service.

Germany Is Leaking For Long Fight Poland Subdued and First Phase Over in West, Nazis Look * to Consolidation of “Home Front”; Little Military Activity. Berlin, Oct. 23. (AP) —Germany’s political army, the Nazi party, set out today to consolidate further “the home front,” now that the first phase of the war in the west is completed, according to the high command, and the lightning campaign in Poland was ended nearly a month ago.

Washington, Oct. 23. —(AP) — Senate leaders sought to wind up general debate on the administra tion neutrality bill today alter re porting to President Roosevelt that Hie measurep robably would be passed by Friday.

In other words, despite claims of downing 13 German craft, or in flicting losses of about 25 percent on the invading squadrons, these were believed by many to be double-edged forays, having the purpose of spreading anxiety, and mapping objectives more precisely for a wave of larger raids to come. An air ministry communique said the warnings sounded in the Firth cl Forth area today were due to I the approach of unidentified air crafts. It said the “all clear” was ! sounded about half an hour later when it was known that no enemy ii craft were .n the area.
