Nozis Threaten to Rain Bombs
In Total War Upon England;
Reich, Soviet Por|ey on Flint
Germans Turn Upon
British to Man,
Press Declares

By the Associated Press.
BERLIN, Oct. 25.-Germany's
next war move probably will be to
loose a shower of bombs on England,
the authoritative newspaper Nation
alzeitung of Essen said today.
This daily is known to be especial
ly close to Field Marshal Hermann
Wilhelm Goering, air minister and
No. 2 Nazi. Hence its editorials
command special attention.
The moment has come when the
war desired by England must rain
down upon the British Isle itself"
Nationalzeitung said.
'The patience of a people has
limits. In their boundless indigna-
tion the German people to a man
now turn against the British war
inciters in order, by a fight which
hereafter will be relentless, to create
the necessary guarantees for their
security from such irresponsible
machination"
Meanwhile the high commands
communique reported another COM
pany of French troops had been
driven from German soil on the
western front. How many remained
was not stated.
An assault by German troops west
of Voelklingen yesterday, commu-
nique disclosed caused the with
drawal of the French rear guards"
across the border.
These rear guards were said
to have made up the one French
company still on German soil rs
result of operations on the western
front in the first weeks of the war.
With the exception of this action,
the communique said, there were
mo special actions" on the western
front.
Vatican Negotiations Proceed.
Negotiations with the Holy See
concerning Catholic affairs in Poland
were said to be progressing normally.
Technicalities for resumption of
church services and other religious
activities were being arranged, it
was said
No negotiations have been begun
as yet with Southeastern European
states in regard to repatriation of
Germans there. 1t was explained
that Germany "bit off big chunk"
in repatriating Germans in Estonia,
Latvia and Russian-occupied Poland,
wherefore considerable time must
elapse before repatriations from
elsewhere could be arranged on a
large scale.
Germans from all parts of the
world were flocking back into the
Reich, it was said, but there was no
unusual movement from South
eastern Europe.
Premier Josef Tiso of Slovakia
was awarded the Grand Cross of
the Order of the German Eagle
by Adolf Hitler.
Hans Frank Gets Post.
Hans Frank, German minister
without portfolio, was designated
today governor general of all Polish
territory occupied by Germany but
not Incorporated in the Reich.
Frank, a decree published in the
government law gazette disclosed,
will exercise entire administrative
authority over the area and be di-
rectly responsible to Fuehrer Hit
Ter.
Named deputy under Frank was
Arthur Seyz-Inquart, minister with
out portfolio and former governor
of Austria. They will assume their
posts after the present military COM
mander in Poland is relieved of ad-
ministrative powers by Hitler.
Since September 30, Frank has
been governor of Poznan, part of
Poland now incorporated in the
Reich.
Authority to proclaim law by de-
cree in occupied Polish territory is
vested in Frank, the ministerial
council for national defense and the
director of the four-year plan. Ex-
isting Polish laws are to remain in
effect insofar as they do not con-
flict with German laws.
Cost of administration will be

End to Peace Reports.
Warnings that the war will be car
ried to England came on the heels
of Foreign Minister Joachim Won
Ribbentrops speech last night in
Danzig, which apparently was ac-
cepted generally as signal the war
with France and Britain is ION in
earnest"
Authoritative quarters In Berlin
interpreted the address as having
definitely put an end to foreign re-
ports that Germany is seeking peace
under all circumstances
Newspapers featured the address
under glaring headlines. Hitler's
