Rhineland, With the view general that French strategy would be to try to break through at each end for an encircling movement against the Nazis. About 3,000,00 men were under arms in France and more were called up hourly. The German defenses in the west are now said to be manned by around 500,000 men.
 There was naval fighting off the coast of Denmark, according to dispatches from Copenhagen and anti-aircraft guns in Holland fired at unidentified war planes violating her neutrality.
 Rumania declared her neutrality would be enforced by armed might if necessary and called up more troops to carry out her promise.
 Japan formally notified the big powers, including the United States, that she would remain neutral.
 Support Offered Throughout the British and French empires, declarations of support were sent to London and Paris and preparations to fight were rushed. The South African parlia- ment at Capetown voted 80 to 67 to sever relations with Germany and anti German rioting broke out at Johannesburg.
 Frances African colonial chief tains pledged support to the Paris government. .-..
 One significant development however, was in Rome where an of- ficial communique said that Premier Benito Mussolini's efforts to have peace had failed because Hitler refused to agree to withdraw his troops from Poland.
 Wether the communique could be viewed as strengthening Italy's de- termination to remain neutral was uncertain, but the Fascist regime appeared to be making every effort to keep out of the conflict for the time being.
 Favorable Reaction
 Among the South American na- tions a favorable reaction appeared to be general in connection with President Roosevelt's poll on the advisability of a conference to strengthen American neutrality Many German ships were tied ur 1 in Mexican and South American ports and the freighter Olinda was sunk, after her crew had been talk en of, by the British warshir Ajax off the South American coast
