Polish civilian leaders.
In the interests Of Rumanian neu-
trality the President and foreign

The House minority leader had
reference to the fact the Senate
is expected to deal first with the
neutrality Legislation. The Bloom
bill, passed by the House at the
last session, is now before the Sen
ate Foreign Relations Committee.
The expected plan is to have the
measure amended by the Senate
and send it back to the House for
approval.
The lines Of congressional divi-
sion on the issue were being indi-
Gated pretty clearly in advance as
the returning members submitted TO
interviews, most of them freely dis
closing their intentions whenever
vote arrives. Most of them claimed
heavy mail in support of their re-
spective positions.
Senator Capper, Republican. of
Kansas redclared he would oppose
repeal of the embargo and any
amendment which would weaken the
Neutrality Act. Senator Clark, Dem

termination.

Germany did not want that type

Valuable Positions Taken.
Mr.. Chamberlain said that on the
western front valuable strategic
and tactical objectives have been
secured by the French, and ground
gained has been held in the face
of increasingly severe German re-
sistance"
Earlier, Winston Churchill, first
lord of the admiralty, said there was
'every reason to believe" that the
submarine which sunk the aircraft
carrier Courageous Sunday had been
sunk subsequently.
The Prime Minister said that at
the April, 1917, peak of submarine
warfare in the World War average
weekly sinkings of British shipping
amounted to 1000 tons, or 80 ships
During the week ended Septem-
Der II this year it was $4,000 tons

Speech Seen as Warning.
Adolf Hitlers war policy speech
in reclaimed Danzig was taken today
by some observers as warning that
the powerful German air fleet may
be dispatched to England, if the
British naval blockade is consid-
cred to be working hardships on the
German people.
The Fuehrer was believed by those
observers to be planning an "eye-
for -an-eye" war if necessary.
In Danzig yesterday he threat
ened to fight ''in the same manner
as our opponents Out of his long
address to the cheering throng
that and other salient indications
of German policy were drawn:
Germany is ready to fight seven
years
For every bomb falling on a
German city, five or ten will fall
on their (enemy) cities"
Germany and Soviet Russia,
'the two greatest peoples and
states" alone will decide the fate
of Poland and establish peace
and order in Eastern Europe.
Germany regards the western
boundary of the Reich as final"
and has no war aims" against
Britain or france.
Twenty years of National So
cialism have unified the German
people so firmly that foreign
propaganda efforts to cause dis
sension are "laughable.
Firm Outline of Terms.
The impassioned l hour and IL
minutes speech, regarded by many
as Hitler's most forceful, was con-
sidered not a peace offer"-but a
firm outline of terms under which
Germany would refrain from turn
| ing the present limited war into q
| bloodier conflict.
Observers said the speech, offer
ing no compromise with the Western
Powers, was in effect Hitler's last
word to the nations of Europe His
words were broadcast by radio
throughout Europe and to the
| United States.

Virtual collapse of Britain'S ally,
Poland, under the double INVASION
from Germany on the west and
Russia on the east-and the tor
pedoing of the aircraft carrier Cour-
ageous Monday with a loss of per-
haps 578 men, were chalked up as
outstanding initial successes by the
| Nazis. But the British man on the
street pointed out the last battle
which tradition has Britain always
winning-is still to be fought.
The British still thrilled to tales
of heroism brought ashore from the
Courageous by the 682 survivors.
They told how Capt. w. T. Makeig-
Jones stood at salute on the bridge
of the ship, facing her white en-
sign futtering aStern, as she sank.
A few minutes before, directing
the abandoning of ship, the captain
called out: Take your time, boys;
there is no hurry
Makeig- g-Jones' name was not
among those which the admiralty
said from all the information
available must be regarded as the
final list of survivors from H. M. S
Courageous. Among the 578 not
accounted for were II other officers;
the remainder were seamen.
The British found some conSola-
ton in the admiraltys original an
nouncement that the Courageous
attacker was heavily attacked by
destroyers and is believed to have
been sunk"
CA communique from the Ger
man high command indicated,
however, the submarine had
escaped. The communique said
the sinking of the aircraft car
rier was confirmed by a report
of the German submarine which
attacked the carrier.')
The air ministry's first casualty
list was issued last night-17 Off
GERS and men missing. Only one was
listed as believed killed. Three
were ''believed prisoners of war" ano
the others were classified merely as
missing"
Press RetOrts to Hitler.
Hitlers Danzig threat to use a GER
tain unspecifled weapon" against
the British-apparently the German
air force-to counter the British
blockade drew a retort from the
Daily Mail.
1T is a safe assumption that the
British government and their re.
search experts are not completely
in the dark about the potentialities
of this weapon and of means te
counteract it effectively" the news
paper said.
The British communique in reply
to Hitler's Danzig speech undertook
step by step to answer his charges
of British responsibility in the wal
and declared there was mo ques-
ton of Great Britain waging war
as Herr Hitler declares, on German
women and children"
The German government have
already declared that there are
ample stocks of food in Germany
but the restriction of the import o1
raw materials is not a measure o1

Reich Treats Allied
Prisoners Fairly
Agrees to Represent
British and French
Interests in Germany
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
One of the extraordinary duties
thrust on the American Govern
ment by the war is to see that Brit
ish and French prisoners Of war get
fair treatment in Germany.
In conserving to represent British
and French interests in the Reich,
the Government also agreed to look
after the condition of the prisoners
from those countries.
The American Embassy in Berlin
and various consulates will carry on
the necessary inspections, which in
time may embrace tens of thousands
of men. They will expect German
treatment to follow the provisions
Of treaty regarding prisoners of
war signed in Geneva in 1929 by
Germany, Great Britain, France,
the United States and 43 other
nations.
Under this agreement prisoners
are given a wide range of rights
over which the protecting power
in this case the United States-has
the duty of inspection.
Reprisals Prohibited.
Prisoners of war must at all times
be humanely treated and protected.
Reprisals against them are prohib-
tied.
No coercion may be used to obtain
information about their army or
country.
All their personal effects, includ-
Ing money, remain their property.
Prisoners may not be placed in
prisons, but in buildings or barracks
| af1ording all possible guarantees of
healthfulness. Their living quarters,
food and water must be equal to
those of troops at German base
camps. They have the right to
medical attention and to admission
to hospitals.
Prisoners of different nationalities
and races may not be co-mingled; !;
officers must be separated from the
rank and file. Officers taken prisoner
need salute only German officers Of
| an equal or hlgher rank.
Wages Must Be Paid.
Germany may utilize the labor of
British and French prisoners, but
the labor must have no direct rela-
ton with war operations conditions
of work must not be heavier than
for the civil workers employed in
the same work. Wages must be paid
Officers are exempt from work un-
less they ask for it.
The prisoners will be permitted to
send mail and to receive mail and
parcels containing food. clothing
and books.
Prisoners may be punished fol
infraction of camp rules, but the
punishment may not be corporal; il
may not be more severe than that
provided for German soldiers with
regard to the same offense
If a judicial proceeding is insti-
| tuted against a British or French
prisoner for a serious offense, Ameri-
can diplomatic representatives must
be notified at least three weeks
before the opening of the trial. II
the prisoner does not choose de-
fense counsel, the American En-
bassy or Consulate may name one.
Has Right Of Appeal.
The prisoner has the same right
to appeal from a sentence as a Ger
man soldier.
Germany will be obligated to send
back to Britain and France seriously
sick or injured soldiers as soon a.
possible.
