fend the Panama Canal.
The sources denied that the ac-

American Conference held at
Panama City.
English sources said that the
war will be kept from American
borders, if it can possibly be done.
Pan American conference has fix
ed the neutral zone in America at
800 miles offshore. The latter
part of the English statement is
thought to mean that it is possible
there may be sinkings in these
areas.

Turkey Approaches PaCtS
Cautiously; fTdlGh-BdtjSh
Fear Invasion OF Belgium
,By Associated Press,


LONDON. Oct. S.-It appeared
today that Turkey was playing a
very cautious game to avoid be-
ing drawn into the European con-
fliet. She denied a request that
she close the Dardanelles only
entrance to the Black Sea. to the
Allies. Also she refused to align
with Russia if the Soviets made
grab in the Baltic states.
Adolf Hitler was getting ready
10 60 into Warsaw to make a
triumphic appearance in a few
days in the capital of the coun-
try his Nazis had just captured.
Belgium today is very much
worried that their neutrality will
be violated. Unofficial sources
said that Belgium is agitated
over the fact that she cannot stop
planes of warning nations from
passing over her country. If she
cannot do this, she reasons, how
is she to stop troops from pour
ing through her lands.
France today is still fearing
that Germany will make break
with troops through Belgium.
Previous advices have stated
that Germany has massed troops
along the Belgian border and /,
that Belgian troops have also
been. moved to the border.
The French claim that Ger
many has lost 80 planes thus far
in the war. They state that a
French submarine today sank a
German merchant marineman.
England claims that British de
stroyers are chasing German
submarines back into the mine
area the Germans have laid down
and that several of them have
been blown up.
Berlin accused Winston
Churchill, British First Lord of
the Admiralty, of trying to trick
Germany into starting marine
unrestricted warfare and thus
lose the sympathy of the rest of
the world. The Berlin press
claims that Churchill is arming
merchantmen to war on sub
marines.
Sweden today issued a half
million gas masks to its men as
precautionary measures. 1t has
also placed buoys along It's three
mile limit that vessels will clear
~ see the neutral area. Reports
that Russia is establishing air
bases on Estonian and other is
lands in the Baltic are trickling
in.
German submarine gave sun
ken ships crew a collapsible
boat and also guided another
boat toward them from eight
miles off the coast of Ireland. 1t
quickly sank from sight then.
The German pocket battleshIp,
admiral Shier" which sank a
vessel lin the South Atlantic
earlier this week, probably ran
the English blockade English
sources say. 1t was known to be
in a German port when the
blockade was established.
