MEXICO CITY, oct. 20.-The
presence of the United States gun
boat Erie in Manzanillo harbor near
the German freiehter Havelland

War Department today that it was
fully capable of patrolling Mexico's
coasts.
Senator Mauro Angulo was quoted
as saying he would propose that the
foreign relations ONCE make a for
nal report rs to whether the Erie
previously had obtained permission
to put in at Mexican port.
An authoritative report said the
Erie followed. the Havelland when
the German vessel quietly left Costa

Panama Canal. where she failed to
appear.

testing basin at Carderock, Md,
were explained last night to the
Philosophical Society Of Washington
at the Cosmos Club by Capt. H. E.
Saunders, U. S. Navy.
Capt. Saunders told his audience
that Carderock was selected because
the basin could be located on solid
rock and reduce inaccuracies which
might be caused by land move
ments. He explained that during
the last 40 years. it had been found
that one end of the old basin at the
Washington Navy Yard had settled
five and q half inches. He said it

will have keen interest in this war
map supplement"
In broadcast from station
WMAL last night, Dean Elmer Louis
Kayser OF George Washington Uni
versity discussed various phases of
the war situation, with special refer
ence to tomorrow's map supplement.
Today, British, French and Ger
man troops occupy attacking posi-
tions along the Franco-German
frontier. What are the probable
plans of attack and how will the
strategy of today compare with. that
Of 1914? These and hundreds of
other questions are answered con-
cisely and graphically in the sup
plement to be found In tomorrow s
Star.
Text Explains Geography.
The first map in the supplement,
for example. shows the battle-ground
from the Mediterranean to the
North Sea. The Maginot and Sieg-
fried Lines, defensive lines In Bel
glum and strategic passes in the
Alps which may have an important
place in the war news of tomorrow
are shown clearly.
The accompanying text explains
the Importance of the geography of
the area and reviews the strategical
plan of the World War which, of
course, was affected by precisely the
same geographical considerations as
any plan which may be put into
effect during the present war.
Geography always has been a de-
termining factor in the location of
battle lines. It's effect on the pres
ent war may be better under
stood by comparing the present
situation. on this strategical map,
with the World War campaigns,
To assist in this comparison, the
map also shows the final front
line positions at the time Of the
armistice, November IL, 1918.
The map indicates why the
French government, to block a new
German version of the 1914 strate-
gy, has built the Maginot Line from
Switzerland to the North Sea.
Should the Germans. as has been
suggested in current news develop
ments, attempt to force their way
into France along the Swiss bor-
der, around the end of the Magi-
not Line. situation entirely diff
ferent than that of the World War
may be created. The map and text
show some of the important ele-
ments which might be involved if
such an attempt should be made.
A study of this map and text also
will reveal why the role of Italy
Is Of such importance in the pres
ent European drama-regardles OF
whether Italy continues neutral q.
takes sides either with Germany or
with her World War allies against
her present Nazi ally.

morrow. After Monday a facsimile
