When Blood ClofS

When blood is exposed to air, it
clots. This reaction is caused by a
blood chemical called thrombin.
Without it human beings might
bleed. to death from the merest
scratches. Some persons have less
thrombin and bleed more than 9TH
ers. They are poor surgical risks
They make it hard for the surgeon
to see what he is doing, and some
times lose SO much blood that it
is necessary to interrupt crucial OPP
erations to make transfusions.

Everywhere the impression that,
French officers and troops gave was
that they were carrying on the fight
to the finish and that while they
were not making any very extensive
territorial gains. they were taking
positions of high strategic impor-
tance.
The war on the western front
thus far is cautious sparring
match, with the French doing the
leading.
There have been no big battles.
The troops are not even in trenches.
They are skirmishing in forests and
raiding villages like the old Amer
ican Indian fighters
But despite the mildness of the
action as compared with the gi-
gantic battles of the World War,
this is a serious business.
From front line observation post,
with both French and German
shells screaming overhead, I saw

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 3.-The
Philadelphia Record said today that
the Navy, F. B. I. and Customs Serv-
ice are investigating reports that
"erstwhile rum-runners" and "un-
scrupulous shippers of freighters"
are carrying supplies to German
submarines off the Atlantic coast.
The newspaper said Federal au-
thorities in Philadelphia commented
only that they have suspicious of
some seamen."
Fuel oil, food and drinking water
the Record said, have been ferried
out by U-boats "smugglers."
The newspaper said the Federal
authorities have learned that three
Germans in Philadelphia hired
several known old rum-runners
living in Philadelphia and along the
New Jersey coast"
1T is KNOWN" the Record said
shat Edward c. Dougherty, SUPER
visor of the United States Alcohol
Tax Unit in the PHILADELPHIA dis
trict, several weeks ago turned over
to the F. B. I. a complete list of
names of all known bootleggers and
rum-runners in this territory"
Reports from Philadelphia that
smugglers are carrying supplies to
German submarines off the Atlantic
Coast were received in silence to-
day by the Navy, but there were in
dications. an investigation was
afoot.
Such smuggling is punishable by
penalties running up to five-year
prison term and a $4,000 fine. The
President is empowered to forbid the
departure of suspected vessels or to
require their owners to give bond.

By the Associated Press.

BUFFALO, N. Y, Oct. 3.-Planes
now being built for the United
States Army surpass the Curtiss
pursuit ships described by French
officers on the western front as
"one of the sensations Of the war" )"
an authority on warplane manu-
facture said today.
This source, who preferred to re-
main anonymous, said later Curtiss
pursuit development now in pro-
duction at the Curtiss airplane divi-
sion factory is believed capable of a
speed "at least so miles an hour in
excess" of the type built for the
French Army.
Nearly $4,000, 900 worth of the
new type, known as the P-40, are
being manufactured for the United
States Army Corps, but the exact
number has been kept secret. The
French planes, of which 200 were
built here, were described previously
as capable of attaining speeds "in
excess of 300 miles an hour"
1t was in plane of the French
type, known as the Hawk 75-A,
that H. Lloyd Child, chief Curtiss
test pilot, travelled faster than any
previous human being last jan
uary % by diving at more than SIS
miles an hour. This is a low-wing
all-metal single place pursuit mono
plane, powered with a twin-row
Pratt & Whitney 14-cylindered en-
gine designed to develop approx
mately 1000 horsepower, and SINH
lar in design to the P-36 developed
by the United States Army Air
Corps.
The new United States Army P-4O
is similar in general design to the
Hawk 75-A and the P-36, but is
powered with a liquid cooled Viz
Allison engine.

PARIS, Oct. 3 &C. D. N).-The
outlines of a cleverly devised Ger
man peace plan and the tactics for
its acceptance are reported known
here.
Adolf Hitler will give a clustering
ultimatum to the allies. After their
expected refusal, the so-called bloc
of neutrals, captioned by Italy, may
produce plan of their own which
would be really Hitler's plan. It is
believed that this plan consists of
five parts:
!. Creation of a Polish buffer state
to be carved out of German -occu-
pied Poland, with Warsaw as its
capital, and guaranteed by Ger
many and Russia.
2. A worldwide disarmament, with
supervision to see it carried into
effect.
3. A redistribution of raw mate
rails according to plans frequently
discussed at Geneva.
4. All existing frontiers to be
guaranteed by a collective security
pact.
S. An examination of the present
situation overseas, with a view of
redistribution of colonies.

Chamberlain Defies Yelled Threat
In Russian-German PACT Offers
To Examine Any Peace Proposals
New Consultations
With Soviet Hinted
In Berlin
BY LOUIS P. LOCHNER,

Associated Press Foreign Correspondent.
BERLIN, Oct. 3.-The authorita-
tive service Dienst aus Deutschland
expressed the belief today that Ger
many and Soviet Russia would con-
suit each other again just as soon
as the western powers declare their
attitude toward the Moscow declara-
ton, which Germans consider an
offer of peace.
This commentary service said "the
impression prevails here that the
western powers are assuming the
attitude of declining the offer, al
though they appear to be remark
ably uncertain of themselves"
According to Dienst aus Deutsch-
land, no new German peace offer
Is in the off1ng, nor is Italy likely
to make another effort at mediation
at present.
1t regarded as possible, however,
that the western powers would make
inquiries in Rome concerning the
conversations between Hitler and
Count Galeazzo Ciano, Italys for
eign minister. Thus the possibility
OF further mediation was given.
May State Peace Conditions.
The commentary further thought
1t possible that Hitler in his Reich
stag speech this week may state in
what form the consolidation of
peace and new political conditions in
the east is contemplated by the
Reich government"
Meanwhile, it was the apparent
conviction here that British Prime
Minister Chamberlain's address be-
fore the House OF Commons today
woulo affect profoundly the future
of Europe.
Hitler already is preparing a rough
draft of his address. but the Ger
man foreign Office hinted that this
draft might be changed
Hitlers speech also may be af-
fected, it was indicated, by sug-
gestions from Premier Mussolini
following the return of Count Ciano.
Duce Gets Hitler Program.
Under any circumstances, how
ever, it appeared certain from the
Nazi point of view that any peace
proposals Hitler may make must be
predicated upon the condition that
Germany and Soviet Russia alone
shall determine the fate of Poland.
While government circles made
no commitments, they insisted Ger
many had no desire to "Germanize"
people not Of German origin, an
assertion which led observers to
believe some form of cultural au-
tonomy would be granted the Poles.
