ZILINA. Slovakia, Sept. 30.-A
story OF q Slovak regiment which
refused to march against Poland
and defled q German threat Of
summary execution was told to-
day by one of the former mutineers.
The informant, who risked ar
rest If his identity became known
to the police, produced evidence
that he was mobilized before Sep
tember ! (when German troops
entered Poland and was garrison
ed until IS days ago at Kremnica,
In middle Slovakia.
He said only the personal inter-
vention Of Gen. Ferdinand Csatlos,
war minister and army commander,
saved the regiment from German
punishment. Csatlos hurried from
the Polish front, reaching Krem-
MICA before the 24-hour German
ultimatum to march or be shot"
expired.
Men Of our regiment were all
Slovaks. no Germans or Hungar-
lans, and just a year ago We had
been mobilized to fight for the
Czechslovak republic against Ger
many" the informant said. I'VE
couldn't forget that. nor the old
Slovak feeling of friendship for
Slavic brothers in Poland.
We got our marching orders but
we didn't march. We lined up with

nearly 5000 strong. Most Of US
had been talking since the wars
start two weeks before and we
were solidly against 4 war We didn't
want.
I'VE began singing the Czecho-
Slovak national anthem. You could
hear us kilometer away. I tell
you we were determined to be free
men. Our officers let us 60 back
to the barracks and We waited to
see what the German military COM
mander in Kremnica would do
about it.
Word came that We would be
court-martialed and shot unless we
obeyed the German order. But we
didn't move. All night we sat up
talking and singing. We didn't
know what the morning would bring
but we were ready to face the
worst"
The informant. 4 man In his
middle 30s, struggled for words to
describe those tense hours in Krem-
niera barracks.
"Csatlos saved us; we owe our
lives to him." he continued. THE
Germans made him put the Slovak
Army into the war but I know he
did everything possible to save his
troops in the front line, and he
wouldn't let the Germans take
revenge on our regiment.

informed sources, German diplomacy
will be hard at work to persuade
Britain to desist from prosecuting
the war further.
Germans with a thorough knowl-
edge of the situation believe, how
ever, that the ruthless campaign Of
sinking British ships must 60 on a
short time at least before Britain
will deem it the better part Of wis

Still others-especially among
whom are men who have served the
German government in some form

say the British are slow to get
started. but exceedingly stubborn
once they are aroused. These men
foresee long struggle between
Britain and Germany.

Rumania Expected
To Take Part in
Soviet-1urkey Talks
Cost for Big Role in
Attempt to Keep
Bloc Out of War
By LLOYD LEHRBAS,

Associated Press Foreigm CORRESPONDENT
BUCHAREST. Sept. 30-Soms
progress toward agreement on a
Balkan pact designed to maintain
the status quo in Southeastern
Europe and the strategic Eastern
Mediterranean area was reported
tonight In authoritative circles.
Oficials expressed belief such
pact would make possible a neutral
bloc which would be insured against
becoming involved in the European
war.
Authoritative sources said Ru-
mania's foreign minister. Grigore
Gafencu. probably would participate
next week in Moscow in discussions
with Soviet and Turkish foreign
ministers leading toward agreement
on . Balkan pact. Announcement
has been made that Gafencu would
20 to Moscow but Rumanian Of
ficials declined to comment on pos
sible discussions on Balkan pact.
Big Effect on War Seen.
Meanwhile, observers expressed
agreement that 4 pact under the
aegis Of Soviet Russia and possibly
italy would have an important ef-
feet on the war between Germany
and the British French Polish al
lies.
Pending conclusion of the pro-
posed pact and announcement OF
its terms, however, few have ven-
tured to forecast what precise ef-
feet 1t would have on the German,
French or British interests.
Great Britain gave Rumanla
guarantees similar to those given
Poland which brought the British
and French declarations Of war on
Germany when German planes and
troops crossed the Polish border
on September /.
Any invasion Of Bessarabia. Ru-
manian territory since the World
War, would, upon Rumania's re-
quest. lay the groundwork for the
guarantees to become operative.
Rumanian Omcials Silent
Pending an actual threat to their
territorial integrity, however. Ru-
manian oficials have declined any
comment on the attitude they would
adopt with regard to the British
guarantees.
1t was said the Turkish foreign
minister, Sukru Saracoglu, who was
reported representing Balkan states
In Moscow's negotiations, would
confer with Gafencu here or else
where at the conclusion of the Rus
sion Turkish talks.
Rumania is cast for an important
role in negotiations attempting to
settle the age-old Balkan feuds and
insure the Balkan peninsula from
becoming involved in the war since
It would be principally affected by
any pact guaranteeing territorial
integrity or any enforced re-drawing

nouncement that Germany now
would consider every vessel Of the

(There was no immediate con-
flrmation from Berlin of the re-
ported German broadcast
The admiralty said it interpreted
this as 4 possible indication of "an
immediate change of policy In Ger

The following message has been
promulgated to all British merchant
ships by the admiralty, the minis
try Of information announced:
The following has been received
BY German broadcast this evening:
Several German submarines
have been attacked by British mer-
chant ships in the past few days
Hitherto, the German wireless
asserts. German submarines have
observed international laws by al
ways warning merchant ships be-
fore attacking them. Now, however,
Germany will have to retaliate by
regarding every vessel of the Brit
ash merchant navy as q warship.'
While the above of course is en-
tirely untrue, 1t may indicate an
immediate change of policy in Ger
man submarine warfare and you
should be prepared to meet it."
