AUGMENTATION STARTS IN
 UNITED STATES; NATION TO
 BEREADY FOR NEXT ENEMY
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3-The last war ended before the U. s. really felt the regimentation that must be imposed if a nation throws its whole weight against an enemy. But the machinery is already being put to- gether to put the country into it's next war far more expeditiously than before.
 For II months after the United States entered the war in 1917, all was confusion. The navy was bidding against the army and both were bidding against the allies who were desperate for supplies they had been buying here rather free handedly before we entered.
 Then came the war Industries Board headed by tall, energetic New York -financier already so rich that profiteering could not appeal to him. He was Bernard Baruch. He brought order out of chaos and Congress recognized it with a dec- oration.

 ALONG WESTERN FRONT
French Put Down Terrific Artillery Bdndge-
 Germans Reply
iBy Associated Pressl

Great Britain and France have refused to yield to the scarcely yelled threat" of Soviet German collaboration if European hostilities continue.
 Premier Chamberlain, acting as spokesman for the British and French allies, in the House of Com mons today, said the allies will examine and test" any German peace proposals, but mo mere ass surances of the present German Government can be accepted by us" Threat was implied, Chamberlain said, in the Soviet-German declara- tion which partitioned Poland and mentioned an alternative of consul tation if the Western Allies failed to make peace.
 To Prosecute War
 Chamberlain said nothing in the declaration could swerve the Allies from the effective prosecution of the war.
 Authoritative sources in Berlin indicated Germany and Russia are to consult, following the declaration of attitude by the western powers.
 No Peace Proposal Yet
 Rome expressed the belief that no new peace proposal will be put forth immediately by Premier Mus solini, as suggested by the Italian Foreign Minister Count Ciano's visit to Hitler Sunday.
 The Soviet newspaper Izvestia gave a strong hint that Finland, as well as the small Baltic States, has received Russian demands for naval and military bases.
 Patrol Active
 On the Western Front, France reported great activity by patrols on both sides during the night"
 Germany declared, Only minor artillery and airplane activitys marked last nights action.
 The French estimate they are now holding about 150 square miles of German territory between the Mag mot and Siegfried Qualifications and lines.
 Eastern Front
 On the Eastern Front, Germany reported by communique, German troops marched into the fortress of Warsaw" and began counting pris- oners taken during the September campaign which Russia aided by the partitioning of Poland.
 The British Air Ministry casualty list, released today reported sixteen British fliers have been killed, sev- en wounded, and three missing, with five believed captured since the war started.
 Attacks Crushed
 French machine gunners crushed series of sharp German attacks yesterday which evidently were de- signed to break the advance of the slowly closing French pincers on the key city or Saarbruecken. The Ger man attacks began Sunday night

JudgeMascolo' Name
 Mentioned d For Mayor
List of Candidates Growing as Party Leaders Become Election Conscious -Cuhane in Race for HOnOrs

Plans for furthering his candidacy were made at a meeting this week, and already party leaders have been sounded out as to their feelings.
 Judge Mascolo himself has taken no part in the early drive to gain him the Democratic nomination and has made no statement as to whether or not he is in the field.
 City Manager
 Efforts on behalf of any candidate are, of course, based on belief that the proposed city manager charter will be rejected at the special cleo tion Oct. and that the customary slate of mayor and other city off, cers will be voted on at the regular election, which the legislature has set back to Nov. IA.
 Italian Democratic leaders would in general support Judge Mascolo for the nomination, and several are already seeking to help his candid acy. Several others high in Demo- cratic ranks are said to regard him favorably as candidate.
 Oud5C AN4doNOAO Aldo uCAACNCu O AAllC record in the city court bench and he is one of the best speakers in To- cal politics. It is not believed that he would enter any campaign fight if the party leadership should ask him to withdraw, but his supporters believe that it is not too early to start feeling out sentiment and lay ing the groundwork for a campaign.
 Other Candidates
 Several Democrats have already mentioned as possible Democratic candidates for mayor, among them former Probate Judge Dennis J. Slavin, former Judge Edward J. Finn of the court of common pleas, At torney Vincent Scully, City Clerk John P. Fitzmaurice and Senator Edward P. Egan. The name of Sena- tor George T. Culhane must also be considered, though Democratic leaders are cool toward him.

what YVES estimated at the time to aggregate $39.000, ,000, 900 of potential credit expansion.
 Issue Guaranteed Bonds
 Legislation to effect the 1889 plan would provide for issuance of gov ernment guaranteed bonds to raise funds for construction of toll bridges and highways, construction of railroad equipment, expansion of rural identification projects, assist aEce to tenants in purchase of farms, short and long term loans to foreign governments and expan- sion of U. s. housing authority re- sources.
 The foreign loan and express highways sections were under chief fire today and either might be sac- rif1ced in an effort to speed the pro- gram to enactment. Some legisla- tors were fearful that the Johnson act, which forbids defaulting war debtors to borrow in the United States market, might in some way be weakened.
 No such development was expect ed under terms outlined by MT. Roosevelt but he does insist that foreign defaulters of private obliga- tions held in this country be eligible to borrow, arguing that Latin Am erican borrowers were high-pressur- ed into absorbing large sums of American capital before the Hoover depression. Large sums still are in default.
 Doubt On Highways
 Doubt has been expressed as to the soundness of express highway projects, to be developed as self liquidating toll roads. The lending plan provides $500 ,000.00 for for eign loans and would construct ex- press highways with part of a $780, 100000 public works fund.
