Frances Alliance
With England Is
Held Only Bar
By the Associated Press.

BERLIN, Oct. 1.-THE German
Air Force today was ordered to con-
tinue its attacks on British war
ships blockading the North Sea.
Official quarters called the order
one of the most important German
announcements since the war on
Poland ended with Warsaw's capltu-
lation.
Aerial cooperation with seacraft
in fighting the British North Sea
fleet was launched october 7, and
authorities said success of the first
three days brought the new order
to continue joint sea and air opera
tions.
The fact that two German planes
made forced landings in Denmark
Monday after attacking British
warships off the Norwegian coast
apparently strengthened Nazi deter
mination to carry through their
bombing threat against the fleet.
Germany reported six hits on Brit
ish vessels during the Monday at
tack.
CThe British admiralty de-
clared, however, that the German
air raiders were driven off with
out inf1icting damageD
Claims Damage to Ships.
The German news agency DNB
announced that since October 7
Joint operations of heavy and light
naval forces, as well as air force
units. have been under way in the
Northern North Sea and along the
Norwegian west coast
It added that these air units lin
the course of operations succeeded
in locating the English naval forces
and damaging them as was pre-
viously reported" The agency said
the operations were being con-
tinued.
An army communique today said
that minor artillery activity along
the western front followed a quiet
night.
Germany was preparing today to
receive thousands Of Germans be-
ing repatriated from Latvia and
Estonia under Hitler's resettlement
plan.
Peace Hope Still Held.
Meanwhile, authorized German
sources said that official Germany
sees no conflict between the war
aims expressed by Premier Daladier
yesterday-security, defense OF his
country, guarantees for European
peace-provided those are Frances
real war aims-and the peace pro-
posals of Reichsfuehrer Hitler's
Reichstag speech.
The German government appar-
emily is willing to regard the French
Premiers structures on leading Ger
man personalities as intended for
home consumption. Likewise his
presentation of German aims are
forgiven him, although sharply re-
jected by the German viewpoint,
these sources said, provided his pasic
demands are for security and guar
antees.
NJ Daladier said Britain and
France would continue to fight"
until they obtained definite guar
antees of security and Tasting peace
In Europe"
Alliance Held One Trouble.
German sources do not think that
M. Daladier can prevail on the
French Poilu to venture out from
his Maginot Line and attack Ger
many if the proclaimed French war
aims are defense and security.
One trouble Cn German eyes)
about M. Daladier's speech, how
ever, these authorized sources
pointed out, is Frances alliance
with Britain. British and French
commentators say one purpose of
Hitler's speeches and other official
German statements is to drive a
wedge between the British-French
allies.
While Germany can decide for
herself neither France nor Britain
can act without the other partner.
Hence official Germany cannot take
final stand on the Daladier speech
until Prime Minister Chamberlain
of Britain has been heard. He is
to make his weekly war report in the
House of Commons tomorrow.
Daladier Found Vague.
The authorized sources find M.
Daladier much vaguer than Hitler,
who addressed the Reichstag last
Friday and spoke again in Berlin
yesterday, but they believe con-
siderations of domestic policy may
have been responsible.
Hitler said definitely that the
Poland established by the Versailles
treaty would not be restored; M.
Daladier did not specifically demand
the restoration of Poland but he
countered Hitler's declaration that
only Germany and Russia would de-
eide Poland's future with the state
ment that the fate of Poland
interests also and first of all the
Poles"
If M. Daladier says he does not
