News of the completion of gen.
eral mobilization came with signs
that Germany, believing its cam
paign in Poland, completed. was
preparing for big scale action soon
in the west.
Communique No. 35 of the war,
issued by the French high COM
mand this morning, said:
There was local activity between
advanced posts. There was artillery
action on both sides"
This meant, after comparative
quiet, that men out in the no mans
land between the main French
Maginot and German Westwall for
tificationS were feeling each other
out, looking for a weak point, and
that big guns we're hammering road
intersections in the rear on both
sides to impede the movement to-
ward the front of men, guns and
materials.
The Petit Parisien, whose COM
ments on the western front stu
alton have proved accurate SO far.
said today:
The French high command is
watching German troop movements
with the greatest interest.
The evacuation by the Germans
of Aix-La- -Chapelle opposite the
Belgian frontier, is unquestionably
part of a prepared plan. The enemy
is either constructing defensive be-
cause the region is not sufficiently
/ fortified, or the region will bt
used as point OF departure in a
! big offensive to repeat the 1871
enveloping movement"
: In this movement the German
right wing went through Belgium
hoping to sweep to the French
coast and seize the channel ports
at the same time crumpling and
turning the British and French or

Apparently the iron guard, ap-

with real neutrality under interna-

such proposed action is unneutral
should not, in my judgment, be a
matter of serious debate.
There has never In our time been
more widespread publicity and
notice in advance of the outbreak
of war of a change in our policy
than there has in this instance
This Government has given notice
for we'll nigh a year-at least, since
the first of the present year-that
such change of policy was in con-
temptation. Numerous bills were
introduced in Congress, long hear
ings were held in both houses. and
it was generally understood when
Congress adjourned that this sub
ject would be on the agenda when
it again convened.
The President gave notice through
public statement, which would
hardly be supposed to have escaped
the attention OF all governments
and people, that if war should oc-
cur he would reconvene the Con-
gress for the purpose Of renewing
consideration by it of the neutrality
legislation that was pending as un-
finished business when Congress

square JaWed King Carol steadled
Rumania through a night of desper-
ate crisis. after the assassination OF
Premier Calinescu and an attempted
coup against the government by ele-
ments officially described as belong
ing to the pro-Nazi Iron Guard of
turbulent history.
The position, however, remained
razor-edged and dangerous In the
extreme not only for Rumania, but
for Europe as whole.
Ever since the Polish crisis boiled
over this greatest of the Balkan
nations has been trying to hide from
covetous eyes. Rumania's sides
bulge with lands taken from other
countries-Bulgaria, Hungary and
Russia-all on its borders.
Rumania has been trying her ut
most to steer a neutral course,
though her heart is with the Anglo
French allies. But she is under
the big guns Of Nazidom and dare
not challenge Berlin too far.
This Rumanian eruption, which
has brought the entire Balkan
peninsula and Hungary to their
toes. may have a very considerable
effect on the general war at this
juncture.
The Balkans Unguarded?
With Poland virtually crushed,
Germany has been moving large
numbers of troops, warplanes and
heavy arms from the east to the
western front for operations against
the Anglo-French allies. Now one
would expect that this movement
might stop, or even be reversed in
part, for the Germans surely dare
not leave Eastern Europe unguarded
at such time.
The fiery Balkan states have been
treading narrow paths since the
storm broke. and perforce they often
have to bend with the wind, which
now is bowling down their slopes
from both Germany and Russia. 1t
would be the height Of folly. how
ever, for Nazidom to leave the cock
pit of Eastern Europe unguarded.
The Anglo-French brotherhood
has been quietly working to try to
break Mussolini away from the Ber-
lin-Rome axis and bring him onto
the allied side. With him they hope
to swing most of the Balkans.
The allied success or failure in this
venture may depend great deal on
what Russia's future attitude Is.
Aachen and Belgium.
The development on the western
front which is exciting most COM
mert, perhaps because it is a mys-
terry. IS a reported heavy concen-
tration of German troops and large
numbers of warplanes at Aix-la-
Chapelle (Aachen. an important
junction near the Belgian and Meth
erlands borders

Montgomery County police re-
ported that the occupants of the
second machine, which bore Illinois
license plates, could not be found
when they reached the scene and
declared they believe passing motor
lists carried them to some hospital.
However, a check of nearby hos
pitals under way this morning so
far has failed to disclose any pa
tients brought in from that acci-
dent. The Illinois car was taken to
a Clarksburg garage to await the
appearance of its owner.
Police were told the Liftons' au-
tomobile was proceeding south along
the highway when the Illinois car
driving in the opposite direction
sideswiped 1t on a curve and over

In the case of Belgium not only have
the Belgians built a vast line of de-
fenses on their border, but the
French have extended their great
Maginot Line along the entire Fran
co-Belgian frontier.
The Germans would have to hew
bloody path through these two
lines tc reach the Channel ports
They would encounter the floods
from broken dykes if they tried to
cross Holland.
So Herr Goebbels' announcement
seems like the real thing. What is
possible is that the Germans are
making AK protective and supply
base, coupled with an air base which
may be heard from before long.
This would seem to be logical loca-
ton for big air force which could
harry Channel and North Sea ship
ping, including all important move
ment of troops and supplies from
England to the battlefield in France.

tegrate and German supplies will be
exhausted. What then, Hitler?
Ignore Emnire'S United Sfrenxth.

tegrAte ana German supplies VII be
exhausted. What then, Hitler?
Ignore Empires United Strength.
Nine months is a terribly long
time In war. Before then many
frightful things will happen on both
sides But Germany's chances grow
less as the months pass. Those Of
Great Britain grow stronger. Ger
many has made one ghastly miscal-
culation. They have ignored and,
indeed, ridiculed the potential
strength Of the British common
wealth of nations. They broadcast
speeches by Goebbels and others
pretending that Canada and Aus
tralia would be disloyal to the
mother country. All the world now
knows that in time of need England
will receive mighty help from the
dominions.
Canada has offered her manhood
and all her vast supplies. Food will
pour into the British Isles from all
parts Of the empire, despite the sub
marine peril. Aeroplanes are being
made in giant numbers and there
will be no lack of Canadian, Aus
tralian, New Zealand and South
African pilots. Indian princes have
offered their vast wealth and great
man power in service of the King
Emperor.
In any long war the British en-
pire has increasing weight and
strength. It is inexhaustible in re-
sources, while Germany grows weak
and strained. The German leaders
know that. They will fight for q
quick war and their blows will be
heavy and ferocious.
German Strength Known.
Any present underestimation OF
German war strength would be
criminal folly. Neither France nor
England will fall into that error.
The British and French Army lead
ers know that they have powerful
forces in front of them, stronger
than themselves in man power, with
terrific weight of artillery and an
air force of superior numbers. AS
Mr.. Chamberlain said in his last
speech, there will be no rash or fool
hardy adventures to satisfy impa-
tient minds 1t is possible that de-
fense will be more destructive to
Germany than costly attacks, for we
can afford to wait, but they cannot.
1t is more likely, anyhow, that moral
and political issues will bring Ger
many down. Revolution from with
in, revolt of captured people, the
breakdown of their spirit and war
machine may be more effective than
long-range guns.
The riddle of Russia remains in
scrutable. Germany's fellow bur-
glar from Moscow may smash up his
confederate by double crossing
What if Russia decides ITO protect"
her fellow Slavs in Bohemia, Mo-
ravia and Slovakia? What if pam
Slays get up against the Teuton?
That hatchet has not been buried
the sharp end of its ak is turned
toward Hitler.
