Virtually all communications

The landing operation began at
4:3O a. n. after islands in the
vicinity where Chinese defenders
might have been lurking were sub
jected to a heavy naval lombard

1t was believed the Japanese
aimed first to cut the Kowloon-
Canton railway and then domi-
nate the river mouth Of the Can

from the city before actually at
tacking it.
British authorities here were
concerned at this latest turn of
events because of the proximity
OF Canton to the British crown
colony of Hongkong, distance Of
only IS miles.
AS a precautionary measure, the
British moved two companies of

Czar' Cyril Is Dead
HELD COURT NEAR PARIS

PARIS, Oct. IL O.N.SO.-Con-
vinced almost to the end that he
would some day ascend the Czar-
ist throne Of Russia, Grand Duke
Cyril died today at the American
hospital.
Members Of the Romanov royal
family were at the bedside when
the 62-year-old GEAR" succumbed
to gangrene poisoning
His heir and sthe new Gear" is
Grand Duke Vladimir, his third
child. now II years old.
MAINTAINED COURT
AS the closest cousin to the as
SasSinated czar, Grand Duke
Cyril proclaimed himself emperor
Of all the Russias" in 1924, and
designated his first son as his
heir.
For years, until his health be-
gan to decline, he maintained Q
court at Coburg, in Bavaria, and
later outside Paris, where he lived
in splendor reminiscent of the
imperial court at st. Petersburg.
All who were granted audiences
had to refer to him as Gear"
During this period there were
constant intrigues aimed to put
Cyril on the Russian throne.
WIFE DIED IN 1885
Nine years ago a sensation was
created in the United States when,
1t was asserted, attempts were
made to raise a restoration fund
oy selling memberships in q royal
Russian order for So each.
Cyril was born at Tsarskoie- Selo
IN September 80, 1875, son Of the
Grand Duke Vladimir. In 1905 he

The attackers were located
about so miles east Of here. and
in the opinion Of the observers,
this would have broken up the
first attack on the post.
While the defense planes were
engaged in this fight, the bomberS,
a squadron of the flying fortresses
and another bomb squadron,
crossed the lines and bombed the
objective.
BOMBERS CAUGHT
The attack was timed so that II
would be too late to use the big
Searchlight batteries, but even SC
the line of flight was picked ur
at the observation posts, and the
bombers, flying at more than TO-
600 feet, were subjected to fine by
all the six batteries of three-inch
guns.

Women Riot
Over Jobs
CONTINUED from Page II

NNUlt1A1Cu 1IUI1 age
Efforts to preserve any semblance
or order were futile.
From a line of 500, who waited
all night for the blanks, the mob
of job seekers at dawn swelled to
more than 1000 for whom ap-
plications were available.
By 8 a. m. there were 5000 de-
termined applicants blocking traf-
fic for blocks i'll every direction.
At 9 a. m, with every fence on
e Street flattened by the crowd,
police, with the aid of an emer-
gency crew of WPA workers, sue
ceeded in closing the doors of the
precinct station for a breathing
spell.
While 125 policemen worked
heroically to keep the crowd in
line, fights galore broke out among
the applicants and several in
stances of purse Snatching COM
plicated the situation.
A rope, hastily stretched along
E Street as the crowd grew by
the minute, was snapped and dis
appeared like magic,
Hair was pulled by the hand
fuls as often as cornS were trod
by the job aSpirants.
Fearing serious accidents, po-
lice put in a call for an ambulance.
This was stalled several blocks
from the precinct.
First casualty was Policeman

flown at attitudes up to $4,000

The fact that unframed OBJ
servers have been able to pick
them up with such regularity,
both day and night, provides a
valuable defense against enemy

AWAIT DAYLIGHT
A daylight attack was success
fully fought off by the defending
Blue forces today.
This information flashed to de
fenSe headquarters over the civil
ian warning net, sent the gunnerS
to the batteries and the defense
pursuit planes to the "alert" al
Pope Field.
Under the rules of this war, de
fense planes are not allowed tc
take the air before dawn in the
interests of safety, as the enemy
planes are flying without lights
and officials directing the maneu
vers we're afraid there might be
collisions in the darkness.
While the enemy planes were
accommodating the territory, the
defense stood by until permission
to take off was given, and ther
started in search of the blacks.

severely criticizing Theodore Card.

nal preached the day before his

The newspaper Neueste Mach.

the mayors verbal attack on the
archbishop. The paper said the
mayor, Herr Neubachter, made his
remarks at a public meeting Of q
Nazi district organization.
HE WARNS CARDINAL
According to the published &C
count, the Nazi mayor quoted
Cardinal Innitzer as stating:
There are still youths who
do not listen so easily to decep-
tive slogans and glittering
phrases" ...
Then, said the paper, the mayor
remarked:
I regret that Cardinal In
nitzer did not find such words
at times in which they would
have been more appropriate.
And those times were when Q
criminal gang Of politicians,
who had sneaked into power,
hanged brave men on gallowS IN
the name Of God.
"Then Cardinal InnitZer kept
silent. Now he had better not
remind us Of that deplorable
neglect. This state with all
firmness and politeness."

Meanwhile, it is understood there

NOW TOO LATE
Responsible Rome quarters
point out that those who desire
a preventive war are too late.
In the furor of hate which blinds
them, they still dream of pre-

ATTACK INTERCEPTED

Following the early morning at
tack, which resulted in the defense
planes intercepting an at.
tacking one of the two flights OF
bombers, General Gardner
said:
1--WE are learning the answers
to vital questions of national
defense in these problems. Both
the air corps and the artillery
are finding the solution to many
problems.
For one thing. we have con-
ditions that we have never eX-
perienced before. We have a
complete 36O-degree coverage by
the anti-aircraft guns, and we
are learning fire control.
1--WE also have q searchlightS,
more than have ever been as
sembled at one time before.
These lights are being given
drastic tests.
With the high speed of mod

INFORMATION ACCURATE
I'm order to do this, we must
have accurate information as
to the course of the attacking
planes, their approximate num-
ber and the time they are due.
During the maneuvers so far
we have been able to do this

r. D. R. TO ASK
RECORD OUTLAY
+ OR DEFENSES
Army and Navy to Get
Over $l,2OO,OOO,OOO
BY ROBERT G. NIXON

1.N.S.). President Roosevelt
today took a starkly realistic view
of the continuing preparations
for war by European powers, de
spite the Munich four-power pact,
and prepared for the fourth con-
secutive year to call upon Con-
gress for this nations largest
peacetime defense appropriations.
The combined Navy and Army
appropriations for next year are
expected to go well over 81, 1,2OO,-
900, 900, topping even this years S
record expenditures.
NAVY TO BENEFIT
The President told reporters
he is planning on a budget in
crease in the naval appropriations
OF S150,000,00 over this year.
This would give the Navy $746,.
$50, ,494 for new warship construc-
ton and maintenance of the pres
ent Navy.
Mr.. Roosevelt emphasized he
will call for increased national de-
fense expenditures regardless OF
whether it means that national
economy must be sacrificed.
The Presidents announcement
was interpreted as clearly indicat-
ing this Government has its
tongue in its cheek over the pros
poets of permanent peace in
Europe resulting from the Munich
when war was averted
by the powers dismembering
CzechoSlovakia at Nazi Germany's
demand.
WELLES' HOPES DIM
Undersecretary Of State Sumner
Welles last week said the United
States is still hopeful steps will
be taken by the worlds powers
to diSarm and to outlaw
bombing attacks on noncombat-
ants, but in the Presidents insist
ence on continued large naval in
creaseS observers saw no prospects
for an arms limitation agreement
in the foreseeable future.
The Presidents announcement
that this country will go ahead full
speed with its program Of build
ing W. its national defenseS Is il,
line with the new Vinson act,
passed by Congress last year.
which calls for a progressive naval
rearmament program Of $780,
900, 900 in new warship construc-
ton, in addition to the normal
naval maintenance cost which
runs billion . year for the Army
and Navy combined.
NEW sHIPsTAND PLANES
New warslip construction next
year is expected to include at
least 18 new fighting ships, in,
Guiding two 45,000-ton battleships,
q new aircraft carrier, new
cruisers. submarines and destroy
ers, and a huge increase in the
Navy's air fleet.
