ices to Czechoslovakia. The bri-

emigres to fight with the French
army. Martin Fuchs, legion or
ganizer and former press chief Of
the Austrian legation in Paris,
said there were already 1900

Representatives of German and
Austrian emigre organizations
asked Premier Daladier for per-

Bowing to japanese pressure, Capt.

Carlson incurred the displeasure
Of the Japanese, it was reported,
because of statements he made

the Japanese. He spent several
weeks in the field with the Chinese
Communist Eighth Route Army.
Meanwhile, fears spread here
that the Japanese may attempt to
take over the Shanghai Internal
ional Settlement and the French
Concession in view Of develop
mentS in Europe.
There were reports that the
Japanese are planning some such
move in November, particularly II

Capital Blacked Out

Warsaw, however, got a few
glimmeringS of news from Prague
One dispatch from the Polish
capital this afternoon reported
Prague as unwilling" to make
any further concessions. The
message added that at 3 a. m. to,
day, while the crisis was at its
worst, the capital had been
"blacked out" as the result of q
false report that German bombers
were en- route.
These Warsaw driblets also told
of the streets Of Prague being
filled with people anxiously await.
ing developments. Most of the
people were described as wearing
gas masks while going about their
regular duties.
Government officials were or.
dered to keep their gas masks in
readiness for instant use.
The Czech people are facing the
situation with amazing calm and
fortitude, it was said. There was
tension and a certain amount OF
excitement, however.

CLASS URGES
STRONG NAVY

G.N.S). Senator Carter Glass,
postwar Secretary Of the Treas
ury, today declared his belief that
Premiers Chamberlain and Dala-
dier had "diSgraced" their nations
in bowling to Hitler, and urged
rapid creation of an inVincible
United States Navy so this nation
could avoid being placed in a
similar dilemma.
Long an opponent Of military
appropriations, the Virginian
blamed British unpreparedneSs for
Chamberlain'S eSpouSal Of dis
memberment of Czechoslovakia.
GERMANY "STRONGER"
II am told by people who
ought to know. that Great
Britain is in no position to go
to war; that Germany far eX-
ceedS Great Britain in air
plane strength" he said.
Admitting his prior opposition
to extreme appropriations for
war purposes, Glass said that sit
begins to look like they are in
evitable for naval defense, and
desirable"
"NO NATION CAN WHIP US"
II would not say that is true
for the Army" he added. mo
nation can come over here and

There is no reason why the
United States should go to war,
unless some nation sinks American
vessels on the high seas, as Ger.
many did before this country
entered the World War, Glass
said.

Washington, following warning
broadcast by the American Gov
ernment to quit the war
threatened republic with the ut
most speed.
All railroad and automobile
transportation it was learned, has
been taken over by the govern
ment for military purposes.
CONTACTS AMERICANS
Wilbur ]. Carr. American minis
ter, informed the State Depart
ment from Prague he was con-
tacting Americans as rapidly as
possible and was doing all he could
to aid those seeking to leave the
country
Anxiety here was heightened by
reports from Germany that all
railway traffic between CzechoSlo-
vakia and Germany had been sus-
pended. This is the main avenue
Of escape for Americans.
Reports also were received from
Budapest, Hungarian capital, that
American authorities there like
wise had warned Americans they
should leave the country as soon
Is possible.
DUGOUT AT LEGATION
Carr is rushing to compile
ZION a bombproof dugout in the
Garden Of his legation to house
his staff and their families.
Americans in Germany also, it
was learned, are being advised toI
return to the United States in
