German Army in Poland. German

said.
The Fuehrer made more or less
specific proposals for the erection

Germany and Russia, and settle

bergdoI| Sentenced
.To3Years After Draft
Dodging Conviction
Has IN Years
To Serve With
Previous Term
BY the Associated Press,

~
NEW YORK, Oct. 6.-Seven and
one-half years Of hard labor as Q
military prisoner is the penalty
Grover Cleveland Bergdoll must pay
for lodging service in the American
Army during the World War.
In a drab aftermath to the days
of war hysteria, Bergdoll stood silent
and stolid in an Army gymnasium
on Governors Island yesterday as a
13-omcer court martial convicted
him of desertion and escape.
Not Given Maximum.
The middle-aged prisoner smiled
when his punishment was fixed at
3 years instead of the maximum
sentence Of 512 years. He still has
~ years to go on the 5-year SEN
tence for draft evasion he was serv-
ing when he escaped two Army
guards in 1920 and fled to Germany.
Neither Bergdoll nor his blond
German wife, Berta, 80, mother Of
his five children, made any COM
ment on the verdict. She kissed
him, shook his hand.
A charge of conspiracy against
Bergdoll, who was accused Of plot
ting with Eugene Stecher, the Berg
doll family chauffeur, to escape, was
dismissed by the military tribunal.
Appeal to Be Filed.
Civilian Defense Counsel Harry
Weinberger announced he would ap-
peal to the United States Supreme
Court against the decision of Fed
eral Judge Alfred c. Coke, who re-
fused to grant a writ Of habeas
corpus that would have taken the
case out of military jurisdiction.
Bergdoll will remain an Army
prisoner until 1947 in gloomy Cas-
tie William on Governors Island.
Army officials indicated, unless the
verdict is not approved by the re-
viewing officer, 1t. Gen. Hugh A.
Drum, the judge advocate general
OF the Army, or the President.

The War in Europe-Doy by Day
Conciotoy Touches Found in Hit|ers Rechsoe Speech
But Several Fundamental Points Are Left Unanswered
BY DEWITT MACKENZIE,


Associated Press Foreign Affairs Writer.
Herr Hitler's peace proposals call
for general conference which
would deal broadly with all Eu-
ropes political and economic ills
and also would provide for a meas
ure of disarmament.
There were conciliatory touches
in his long speech, delivered before
the Reichstag today.
The most notable was his declara-
ton that his proposed conference
must not be held under a threat Of
force-presumably an answer to the
Anglo-French refusal to consider
terms accompanied by threats.
Again the Fuehrer made a sweep
ing announcement of any further
territorial claims, excepting for his
old colonial demands. And he said
the colonial claims weren't made
In the form of an ultimatum, but
were based on political justice.
In fact, Hitler said his interests
In both Eastern Europe and Scandi-
navia were wholly economic.
Points Unanswered.
On the whole it appeared that he
was striving, without giving way on
any vital points, to present a pro-
gram which might attract favorable
attention.
His peace proposals would seem to
be sweeping enough so that they
would call for full consideration of
the Anglo-French brotherhood were
it not for the fact that he leaves
unanswered several fundamental
points on which the allies have
taken what they claim to be ire
vocable stands. These briefly are:
/. That they will not make
peace while German troops oc-
cupy Poland and that Poland
must be restored.
2. That they will not cease
war until they have crushed
Hitlerism"-a declaration which
some observers have thought took
in good deal of territory. to say
the least.
No Restoration of Poland.
AS regards Poland, Hitler asserted
firmly that the Poland of the Ver-
sailles Treaty can't be reconstructed.
Indeed, he declared that Germany
and Russia alone will determine
what Poland is to become.
He proposed, as concession, that
there be established a Polish state
with boundaries which shall do
justice to historical, chronological
and economic facts"
If Hitler has said his last word
(and that is what he said), it is
patent that the allies can find no
basis in mis- proposals for a confer
ence-unless they are prepared to
back water, and a lot Of it.
Speech Hailed by Nazis.
Some Nazis called Hitler's address
the greatest speech for peace since
the World War. Whatever may be
the allied reaction to that claim and
to the specific proposals, he may have
achieved victory at home, for his
effort certainly was calculated to
fix the blame for continuing the
war on the allies.
While Hitler appeared to be avoid
ing direct threats to the allies, he
took pains to describe the prowess
of the German Army in the Polish
campaign and painted a terrible
picture Of the hell which would
follow if peace weren't made. Also,
the allies had before them the

MOSCOW, Oct. 6.-Lithuania has
been summoned as next to sign on
the dotted line as Soviet Russia to-
day continued her march toward
domination Of Eastern Europe.
BY concluding q 10-year non-ag-
gression accord with little Latvia
yesterdays treaty closely parallel
ing the one week ago with Estonia
the Soviet Union added to her
setup for control ofthe Baltic.
The treaty gave Russia the right
to establish several air fields, naval
bases at her Western neighbor's
ports Of Liepeja GibaW and Vent
spills (Windau) and a coast artillery
base to protect Riga Bay"
Estonia Concession Similar.
Similar concessions from Estonia
have given Russia the right to estab-
lish naval bases in one mainlaid port
and on two islands, along with air
bases and garrisons for $4,000 SOL
diers in that country.
Observers speculated whether the
Soviet, flushed with its diplomatic
successes while Europe's other major
powers were at war, would summon
Finland, Rumania or Afghanistan
after Lithuania. All lie along the
line Of Russia's progress both to the
northeast and southeast.
The Soviet press did not allude to
it, but diplomatic circles here were
convinced that the Russian advances
into the Baltic area were designed to
protect her from possible attack
from Germany as well as from Great
Britain.
Lepaja, one of the Latvian ports,
is close to Memel, acquired by Ger
many from Lithuania last March %.
Stain Watches Signing.
The pact was signed in the Krem-
lin by Molotof and Latvian Foreign
Minister William hunters in the
presence of Stain. 1t contained six
articles, which in effect provide:
Each party is to extend military
aid to the other in case Of aggres-
sion.
Russia is to furnish Latvia NUM-
tions at low prices.
The setting aside on lease terms Of
the two ports for Soviet naval bases
and sites for several airdromes; the
provision for a limited" number of
Soviet troops in Latvia; granting to
the Soviet of the right to a coast
artillery base between ventspils and
Pitrage.
Neither party is to conclude any
treaty directed against the other.
Each will observe strictly the SOW
ereignty and social system of the
other; the new Soviet naval bases
will remain Latvian territory.
The pact is to extend for 10 years,
ratification to take place in Riga.
Latvian capital, within six days.
In addition to the details of
the pact, a separate communique
stressed the mutual trust and strict
observance" of each others SOW
ereignty and government of internal
affairs.
The mutual assistance pact pro-
vides against aggression against the
sea frontiers of Latvia's northern
and southern neighbors, Estonia and
Lithuania.
Should any power attack the
Soviet's new bases in Latvia, Latvia
is obliged by the treaty to aid in
defending them.

BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.


The mountain gave birth to q
little mouse. That is what today's
Commute speech Of Adolf Hitler
produced. He sang the same sing
song which he has repeated for .
number OF years and added this time
few fslsehoods for international
and home consumption.
The Fuehrer spoke about the eco
nomic relations with the Baltic
states as If those states had not been
handed by him on 4 silver platter to
friend Josef Stain. He made frantic
love declarations to France and as
sured the French people that he did
not want anything from them
except maybe few colonies.
Some time ago such q declaration
on the part Of the head Of the Ger
man government might have created
some favorable impression among
the French people. But they. re-
member now that only year ago
Hitler signed an agreement with
Great Britain saying that the two
nations would never fight Ggain, e -
that agreement was based on Hit
ler's solemn promise that with the
annexation of the Sudetenland his
expansionist aims had come to an
end. He now has promised q new
Poland, modelled on a Stalin- Hitler
pattern. His speech before the
Reichstag can have only one result
q determination on the part of the
allies to fight to the bitter end.
y -
Those who read between the lines
Of the Fuehrer's speech can detect
certain amount Of concern on his
part regarding the ultimate result
Of this struggle. The fact that he
took the trouble to tell the world
about the destruction and the mas
sacre which this war will bring about
Is considered Of paramount impor-
tance.
Hitler is convinced that at the
outset of his fight with the allies he
will have more or less important sue
cesses. The German military ma
chine is formidable, indeed. But
like all machines. 1t is likely to de-
teriorate, and what will happen
when it starts running on only four
cylinders nobody can quite say.
For the time being the Reich
seems to have every conceivable
military advantage over the allies.
But one thing seems certain: Re-
gardless of how good the machinery
is, it is only machine and will not
be able to break the French defen-
sive lines with ease. Even If it sue
ceeds in violating successfully the
neutrality of Belgium and Holland,
the war will be far from won. And
If the German troops cannot have
a decisive victory in few months,
the advantage will turn slowly to-
wards the allies.
According to military experts, un-
less there is some major social up
heaval in France the allies can de-
fend their lines without much
trouble for an indefinite time.
1t will be irksome for the French
and British soldiers to remain be-
hind their forts on the defensive.
But if their nerves are sufficiently
steeled, they will resist and the on
slaught of the German troops will
be broken again and again.
The much-feared aerial warfare
will be damaging, but these experts

allowed Russia for conversion into
naval bases.
Reports also said Lithuanian For
eign Minister Juozas Urbsys would
fly to Moscow today to complete
Russian Lithuanian discussions.
The decision was said to have fol-
lowed a special cabinet meeting with
Lithuanian President Antonas Sme-
tona last night.
Observers predicted that the pro-
posals would call for Lithuania to
surrender two areas for Russian air
bases in a mutual assistance agree
ment and for a trade pact giving
Russia special privileges on Lith-
uanian railroads.

This Changing World
! HitIers Speech Believed to Disclose Degree Of
Concern Over UItimute Result of Conflict

point out that atmospheric condi-
tions will not permit the air forces
to operate with the same ease as
during the Summer time. And by
then, the French and the British
aviation and anti-aircraft defenses
will be in q much better shape
These facts must be known to Hitler
and this is the reason q note Of
doubt has been traced in his other
wise defiant speech.
In naval quarters the friendly
warning Of Admiral E. Raeder, the
commander In chief Of the German
Navy, that the Iroquois is going to
be torpedoed by some unknown"
submarine is taken with grain of
salt. The danger to that vessel, how
ever, is not being minimized. It is
quite possible q German submarine
might try to sink the vessel after
the admiral has warned the Ameri-
can people that the willy Mr..
Churchill is planning to do so.
The reason the implication that
the British admiralty is planning
such a Machiavellian coup is being
discounted, is that had the British
planned to do that the German in
telligence, regardless Of how we'll in
formed 1t may be, would never have
obtained such secret information.
Nations in despair might be sus-
pected Of any dirty trick but when
they make such plans they will take
the necessary measures to prevent
anybody, even their own people,
from knowing what they are going
to do.
The Jews are now, in Herr Hit
ler's opinion, the cause of the pres
ent catastrophe. But this time they
no longer propagate communism, as
they have been accused in the last
few years, but capitalism.
Stain and Hitler are kindred
souls as far as their hatred of the
Jews Is concerned. The Caucasian
leader is anti-Semitic. Since he
took over the running Of the U. S.
S. r., the dictator has purged the
Russian bureaucracy of the many
Jews who had important positions.
The army was first to be purged:
then the diplomatic corps. Now
the purging extends to even minor
positions which had been given to
Russian Jewish Communists.
