Nazis Start War That
Hitler Has Threatened
CONTINUED from Page /,

Germany and Russia provides fol-
consultation on measures to be
taken" If the Allies reject Hitler's
peace terms, which they have done
Hitler's anxiety to learn what he
can expect from Russia Is shown by
word from Berlin that he has sent q
secret courier to Moscow to find out
how the land lies.
Conference In Berlin
A conference in Berlin is not i'm
probable. Italy would be urged to
join it. The tone of the italian press
however, indicates that Mussolini
is not in a fighting mood and prefers
to remain out of the scrap.
Turkey remained the unknown
factor. Last week it seemed apparent
that Turkey would sign a non-ag-
gression treaty with Russia as well
as with the allies. Today 1t did not
seem so sure.
Turkey apparently Is unwilling to
make concessions to Russia which
would facilitate Soviet penetration
into Rumania and down through
Persia to the Persian Gulf, thanking
Turkey on two sides.
Rumania also has its back up. The
Rumanian foreign minister was re-
ported to be ready to resign rather
than obey a summons to go to Mos
cow, hat In hand, to hear Stains de-
mandS.
Ridiculed BY Britains
The Nazi claims to have damaged
the British warships Repulse were
ridiculed by the British admiralty
German submarines have destroyed
the British Aircraft Can 1ier Cour-
ageous and the Battleship Royal
Oak. The Nazis also claimed to have
badly damaged the aircraft Carrier
Ark Royal and another capital ship,
rumored in eBrlin to be the gigan-
tic Hood. The British have denied
that either the Ark Royal or the
Hood were damaged.
Forty persons were killed or
wounded over the weekend in sub
marine attacks on three allied mer-
chant vessels, two Of which charged
thta the U-boats opened fire with
out warning in the darkness in order
to destroy the radio apparatus Of
the victims before sinking them.
Women and children, some already
in lifeboats, were among the casual
ties in the shell fire.
Rhineland Front
On the Rhineland front, the
French command reported renewed
patrol activity and again asserted
that major German thrust was ex-
pected. More than a million Nazi
troops have been moved into reserve
positions, these reports said, in adj
dition to perhaps another million in
the west wall (Siegfreid line) de-
lenses.
The reserve troops would be ex-
pected to move up In front If any
major attack were made against the
allied lines, where British troops are
now in position. There was, how
ever, still no indication from the
German side that the Nazi high
command would attempt any big
offensive against the Magniot line.
French artillery concentrated
heavy fire on the German rear lines
in an effort to disrupt the reserve
troop movements.

Japanese Offer Proof
U. S. Missionary Is Free

SHANGHAI, July 26 (P).-Japa-

land, a Methodist Episcopal mis-

his possession anti-Japanese propa-

Tonight's performance will be his

which will take him to the West

OF all his audiences, he says
Americans are the most apprecia-

a wider acquaintance with music.

Erno Rapee makes his debut as
guest conductor with the National
Symphony Orchestra at o'clock
tonight at the Water Gate concert.
His guest artist will be the young
violinist, Ossy Renardy, who has
been on a summer tour of this
country.
Through his close association
with motion pictures and radio, Mr..
Rapee has built up a national fol-
lowing and through his expert musi-
cal work has done much to popular
ize the classics.
Renardy will use an $4,000 Quad
agnlni violin made in ITS, which
he borrowed from a New York
acquaintance.
The violin was loaned after the
owner met a young man at a New
York party and was much impressed
with his abilities and personality.
The owner of the valuable and rare
instrument, Morris Joseph, a New
York banker, perhaps thought it
better to have the violin played by
young master rather than to let
it rest idle in a museum case.
Perhaps there is more to the
story than just casual party meet
ing, for this is the second violin the
young Viennese artist has had
loaned to him. The first, product
of the famous Italian, Antonio
Stradivari, came from New York
dealer.
