MAURITANIA IS
 ARMED TO TEETH
Lands From Europe With Bristling Guns Ready to
 Hit Submarines

New York, Sept. 21-(UP)-The new $12,000,0 ,000 British liner Maure- tania was at her pier today bristling with armament.
 Fore and aft were four-inch sub- marine cannon and smaller anti aircraft guns. She had been painted gray. more like 8 warship than a passenger liner, and her super structure was piled with sandbags.
 She slipped in from the Atlantic yesterday afternoon with 698 paS- sengers-including 265 Americans who had been warned by notices that remained on the bulletin boards throughout the voyage that they were sailing on an armed vessel.
 Under international law, an armed merchantmen is in the same cate gory as 8 war vessel-an auxiliary cruiser-and may be attacked with out warning. An unarmed merchant man must be warned.
 Among the Americans was Joseph F. Kennedy, Jr., son of the Amer ican ambassador to Great Britain He was asked if he didn't think his sailing on an armed British vessel had been ill-advised, in view of the official prominence of his family. "No, I don't" he replied. "The ambassador certainly made it plain before we sailed that Americans were travelling on her at their own risk"
 Some of the passengers thought that perhaps they had seen a sub- marine, but Captain J. 0. Townley master, said they hadn't. The pas sengers did get some excitement however, when members of the gun crews tossed various objects over- board and fired at them--for prac- tice.

Paris, Sept. 21.-(UP)-Captain Baron Won Richtofen, son of Baron Menfred Won Richtofen, most fa- nous German World War ace, has been shot down and killed in an air battle, the newspaper Paris Soir re- ported in a dispatch from Zurich, Switzerland, today.
 Zurich dispatches to the newspa- per said that a German newspaper at Leipzig published an obituary of Captain Baron Won Richtofen, who was 29. The same newspaper re- ported that a hospital train carrying $50 Germans wounded in the battle of Lodz, Poland, has arrived in Leipzig.
 Paris Soir also reported that the fifth division and two brigades of Polish cavalry were annihilated near Kutno, Poland, in an attempt to break through German lines at Kjetnozia. The Poles were report ed to have ridden with barred sabres into a nest of German machine gunners and flame throwers, which scorched and killed their horses.

cumbered since the first of the year The encumbered funds were taken from various departmental appropri- ations, and marked for welfare de- partment emergencies. The alder men have expressed the fear that some of the encumberances on street department funds may be lifted to provide funds for the payment of wages in that department. A large portion of the $64,0O0 encountered was taken from the street depart ment funds.
 Assistance of CikO
 The finance board, in preparing the new budget will have the as- sistance of John J. Ciko, chief &C., countant on the staff of Controller Martin Sweeney. MT. Ciko has wide experience in preparing municipal and county budgets, largely in New Jersey.

ECONOMY PLAN

More WeIfare Worries

m0re Weu8Tc WOFE1cS
 The relief applications by those who lost their jobs or had their wages cut in half because of the economy drive will mean additional financial worries for the weliare de- partment, which has already esti- mated an $80,000 deficit in its bud- get for the year. The new relief de- mands are serving to counteract the gains in local private employment in recent weeks.
 The mayor has estimated that the dismissals alone mean 8 saving of over $1,000 weekly in the street de- partment budget. However, this es- innate will be much reduced when the welfare expenditures are placed against it.
 Dismissals Not Ended
 The street department dismissals are not by any means completed, the mayor repeated today. He said he is still studying the department personnel with Supt. Herbert Scott- Smith, and that there will be more reductions in the staff. Unofficial reports are that at least 20 or 30 more employees in the street, sewer and water bureaus will be given their walking papers in the near future.

Taken For Ride

Stockholm. Sept. 21.-(Up)-Two Esthonian guards who were taken Tor ride on the Polish submarine Orzel when 1t escaped from Tallinn harbor were rescued today from d small boat of the Swedish coast.
 The lighthouse keeper at a little island east of Stockholm sighted the boat this morning and directed res- cue of the two guards.
 Three Esthonia guards were on the submarine last week when 1t ned from Tallinn, where it had tak- en refuge in the neutral harbor, One leaped of and alarmed the coast guards, who vainly fired at the fleeing Orzel. Then Rus. sian warships appeared of the coast looking for the submarine.
 Until last night, the Poles kept the two guards-a none commissioned officer and a marine-prisoners on their ship. They put them h a small boat three miles off the Swedish coast during the night. Swedish au- thorities took them to Stockholm to- day, enrout back to Tallinn.

WARSAW IS NOT YET DEFEATED

up the Warsaw station during the morning, spokesman said: "The in- terruption is not unusual. An air raid might be under way. Warsaw usually broadcasts in the evenings" :"
 Every military expert in Europe had conceded for days that Warsaw's plight was hopeless. There was noth- ing Great Britain or France could do to relieve the siege, and dispatches reaching Paris said that since the city was surrounded a week ago it had been impossible to get any more food or ammunition to Warsaw from the security triangle" around Lem berg. in southeast Poland, the only other region still in Polish hands. But there was not a discouraging word in Lipinski's broadcasts throughout last night. And the fact that he was still on the air gave proof, like the flag at Fort McHenry which inspired Francis Cott Keys American anthem in 1914, that the Poles were "still endured"

 Lipinski said 40 German airplanes raided the city three times yesterday and that anti-aircraft gunners shot down seven of them. He said the bombs destroyed what was left of the Royal Castle, the Art Academy's National Museum and the Central institute for Physical Training.
 Despite the fact that the Ger mans have withdrawn a large num- Der of planes from the eastern front there were three raids on Warsaw during the day." he said. "The first was reconnaissance flight. The Sec- ond was directed against the suburb Of Bielany and the third late in the afternoon hit the very center of the capital causing great damage"
 GA Warsaw broadcast heard in Bucharest said that great crowds gathered in churches all over the city for special masses for victory during one of the raids and that the ] people continued to pray while the bombs fell. The cathedral organ had been destroyed by a bomb and could not be used for the service, the oroadcaster said. He said the military command of Warsaw had formed a civil defense committee of 10 repre- senting all parties from the extreme left socialists to national democrats, and had made passionate appeal to citizens of all classes to help de- fend the city. Boys IS and 16 years old were offering themselves for military service, he said, and wom- en were doing everything but actual lighting and were especially helpful Tn carrying water, food and cigarets to the front lines.
 Mayor Broadcasts
 (At Bucharest, Warsaw's Mayor Setfan Starzynski was heard broad casting that yesterdays bombs had destroyed one college, several Iega- ton buildings and the Prudential Life Insurance company skyscraper He said that half the buildings in the city had been ruined or badly damaged, and that the art treas ures of the royal palace were de- stroyed.)
 French sources estimated that 1C Polish divisions were defending War. saw: and that they had plenty of artillery but no aviation. Civilians were reported giving the troops every assistance if not helping in the &C., tuai lighting as the Germans charged that they were.
