machine gun fire that stopped
them. They retreated and the
French followed them up. But the
Germans, it was admitted, retained
some territory which was valuable
for observation purposes.
The newspaper Paris Soir. in a
dispatch from Amsterdam, quoted
the Nieuwe Rotterdamsche Courant
as saying that Fuehrer. Adolf Hitler
soon will establish general head
quarters in the Siegfried line.
The French tightened anti-air
raid precautions. 1t was announced
officially that military authorities
have informed police procedures
that in the future anti-aircraft bat
teries may open fire without siren
warnings to the people.
Following up an attack in the
Mcselle sector TO the west by one
German division, about 1920 men,
five German divisions hit the
French lines in the Saar attack.
Armored troops, picture of Ger
man frightfulness in steel vests and
vizored helmets, attacked the
French lines behind tanks.
In anticipation of the Saar at
tack, as had been the case in the
Moselle one, all French units but
bare outposts had been withdrawn
to stronger defensive positions. The
outposts kept only light weapons.
These they turned on the first
waves of the attackers. Then, in
accordance with orders. they re-
treated slowly to the main line.
AS the Germans reached the pre-
pared French positions, it was as
serted. they were met by an in
ferno of fire from machine guns
and field guns, and they stopped.
1t was asserted that in the Moselle
attack the Germans lost 1,000 men.
It was believed that they suffered
as heavily relatively in the second
and larger attack
Both attacks were made yester-
day, the one on the Moselle in the
morning, the one east of the Saar
in the afternoon, the French high
command disclosed.
The Nazi shock troops attacked
south of Blieskastel and Zwei-
bruecken, where activity of German
patrols in recent days had warned
the French that a big attack was
coming.
For two hours the Germans came
over, wave after wave. The Moselle
and Saar operations left the Ger
mans in possession of dozen OF
so villages in the Moselle and Saar
districts. positions which the French
had taken in early operation.
The result was that the French
were driven out of their farthest
observation posts in the Moselle
and Blies river valleys.
But the Germans failed, it was
said, to penetrate the prepared line
Of French resistance, still on the
German side Of the frontier. In no

slider general convention for shorter
hours of labor, government, employ

nizing the serious situation that con-
fronted the democratic countries that
were in affiliation with the Interna-

instructions to put the question on the

Organization was anxious to pass a

unsettled conditions in the political
affairs of the world.
Gas you, the representatives of
American Labor, sit here and think

ter is that you have in this issue

The States "moral obligation" to
repay 100000 which Ohio municipali-
ties had been authorized to borrow in
1895. against sales tax collections in

Meanwhile, State Welfare Director
Charles l.. Sherwood announced State
ALLEGATIONS totalling $750,O00 to Ohio
counties and cities for October relief.
The State ALLEGATION, maximum
amount which can be distributed un
der provisions of the relief law,
amounted to only 32.9 per cent of to-
tai expenditures for relief, which
were $2,276,975 during October
This marked the fourth consecutive
month that the state, through it's
limited relief law, has failed to
"match" funds expended by munich
palities for relief on "fifty-ffty"
basis, and is cited as one of the
reasons for the crisis existing through
out the state.
Out of lat local relief areas in the
state, including 81 county units and
so city areas, 145 areas shared in the
October ALLEGATION.
City relief units included: Hamilton,
$3,6G3; Middletown, $1,17l; Spring
