 The Stonegate survivors told of sighting the Deutschland.
 Some time after they were order ed to abandon the Stonegate and row to the Deutschland, the survi- vors said, the Nazi raider sighted the City of Flint.
 The Stonegate survivors, number ing more than 30, said that they did not witness the capture of the City of Flint because at the time they were confined below the decks of the Deutschland.
 Soon afterwards, however, they were transferred to the City of Flint with an armed prize crew of from 30 to 40 men. The City of Flint then headed for Europe" 8 survivor said, but nearing the Norwegian coast the ship ran short of water and entered Tromsoe Harbor to takej on supplies.
 x Were Put Ashore
 At Tromesoe the Stonegate sur- vivors were put ashore and turned over to Norwegian authorities, who arranged for their repatriation. The City of Flint went on to Murmansk, which it later left in an effort to reach Germany.
 The survivors, most of whom are Yorkwhiremen, said they were well treated by the Germans aboard the Deutschland and by the prize crew aboard the City of Flint.
 The sailors from the Stonegate, who fraternized with the American seamen aboard the City of Flint as far as Tromesoe when the American ship was en route to the Russian port of Murmansk, now are under close supervision. It was understood that they were being questioned by British authorities for details re- garding the City of Flint as well as their own experience with the Deut- schland.
 It was learned that the stonegate was en route to London from val- pairaiso, Chile, when she was halt ed by the Deutschland. Under orders from the commander of the pocket battleShip the Stonegate crew aban- doned their own ship and rowed to the Deutschland, which they board- ed.
 German prize crew on the City of Flint threatened to sink it if the American crew tried to make trouble, survivors from the Stone gate said today.
 "The Deutschland fired warning shells at the Stonegate and or- dered us into the boats," the sur- vivors said. "Then they took us aboard the Deutschland. We saw the stonegate founder in flames"
 Then the Deutschland soon sighted the City of Flint, captured it, and put the Britishers aboard the American freighter which the prize crew sailed to Tromsoe, Norway. The Britishers were put ashore there and the German prize crew took the City of Flint on to MurmanSA.
 we went almost to the Arctic before sailing for Tromsoe har- bor," the men from the Stonegate said. "The British consul Cat From soe) backed by a Norwegion destroy CT forced the Germans to put the Britdshers ashore there.~

 In East Coast Towns

ists to curb their cars and sent many pedestrians to shelters but there was a minimum of excitement and within . few minutes after the all clear signal, traffic was moving normally again.
 People at . town on the northeast ern coast who saw the two planes did not notice their nationality and were surprised when they began fir- ing machine guns. The planes were flying low.
 One spectator said that apparently one of the planes was German and the other British and that they were firing at each other. Bursts of gum fire had been heard in the south be- fore the planes appeared and more firing was heard northward as they disappeared. No air raid warning was sounded in the northeast. School children had not yet left their homes. People who heard the firing rushed itno the street to watch the fight.
 Later, the air ministry announced that the London alarm had been a mistake which was being investi- gated.
 The alarm was sounded in the Holborn, Whithall, Kings Crown, St. Pancras and Finsbury Park sec tions of London.
 It was learned today that the pilot of . German plane shot down Saturday near Dalkeith, Scotland, had been severely wounded in the back, contrary to previous reports that he had escaped injury. Two gunners In the rear of the plane were killed and only the navigator was unharmed. The plane, appar- ently brand new, was riddled with machine gun bullets, from British fighters, but was landed without further damage.
 The pilot called to Scotch farm CTS, first to arrive at the scene: we surrender as prisoners of war. Please see to my gunners in the back of the aircraft" He spoke English. He was carried to c hos pital and doctors worker hard try ing to save his life.
 Aviation experts believed that the plane was on reconnaissance flight as . prelude to raid.
 During the air alarm in London the gates of the Buckingham Palace forecourt were closed but they were reopeped when the all clear signal was given. t
 At the Euston railroad station in London lour speakers directed pas sengers to the nearest shelters. Trains operated on schedule.

of Flint toward a German port, and, and a clash between German and British ships oyer the prize was seen as a possibility. gtS
 German sources had estimated that 1t would take the City of Flint seven days to go from Murmansk to a German port but here, it was be- lieved that she could make $50 miles a day and negotiate the 1900 miles in four days.
 (The City of Flnt's best speed was believed to be Il knots an ,flour -or 264 in A hours0
 At Berlin, the United States em- bassy made two more inquiries of the foreign office yesterday, but was told that Germany had no fur ther information. A foreign office spokesman said the ship obviously was not using her radio for fear of betraying her position to the British blockade, and that the German gov- ernment had not even confirmed its departure from MurmanSk.
 German official quarters declined to comment on the United States state departments white book" on the City of Flint incident in detail, until the full text had been received at Berlin and studied.
 At Moscow, it was said that Rus sians probably never would hear of the incident again since the Soviet government indicated 1t had washed its hands by releasing the ship, Not more than 100 words ever were car- ried in any Russian newspaper and nothing was printed of the United States White Book" although the Soviet press, whether by coincidence or design, bitterly attacked the United States Senate during the weekend for voting to repeal the arms embargo, charging that the United States was abandoning neu- trality and forecasting that it would be forced into the war by British and French bankers and munitions makers anxious to enrich themselves by plunging the whole world into war.

The Nad naval war continued at a fast pace, three more British ships being sunk by U-boats. One was the 7,976 ton steamer Malabar which went dow min the Atlantic with loss of five out of 75 men of her crew. Another was the trawler Saint Nidan, out of Hull, and third was the trawler Lynx. Both trawler crews were saved.
 The sinkings raised the total of British losses in the last seven days to more than 30,000 tons.
 The alarms were sounded in three towns on the coast of Kent, south east of London, then at one town in the interior, then in London.
 The alarm was not sounded in all parts of London, but the siren on the Ministry of Information build- ing went into action for the fourth time since the war started. The ministry employees filed to an under ground shelter without excitement, and newspapermen were forced to evacuate their quarters in the build- ing and take shelter. The buildings siren had sounded three times in the first week of the war and today was the first time since.
 The alarm lasted only about five minutes in London and 1t was under stood that it had been gwen by mis- take. It caused 8 breaf furry in the heavy morning traffic but little excitement.
 At the shelter unoer the build- ing, ministry executives, clerks and overalled workmen rubbed shoulders. All were cheerful, Girl secretaries served coffee and hot chocolate from thermos bottles.
 Brief Cases Put Away
 Executives quickly put their brief cases containing important docu- ments into specially provided steel lockers before retiring to the shelter when the all clear signal came and everybody filed back to work.
 In the Berwickshire area of the northeast, the only place where Q German plane was sighted, the stand to" signal was given but the actual alarm was not, and people ran into the streets to watch a British and German plane fight with machine guns. The fight was still going on when the planes disappeared to the north and the outcome was not learned.
 Belief that the German plane may have been forced down at sea was expressed by observers.
 They said that they saw q plane flying so low as to barely clear build ing and telephone wires. Then 1t flew out to sea, barely missing . cliff.
 Saw Crippled Plane
 Observers on the cliff said the plane was smoking" and that when they reached better vantage points there was on sign of 1t.
 The Kent alarms caught people on their way to work and sent them running to public shelters. At one town, 5000 children were evacuated from schools. The evacuation was orderly and was completed in four minutes. Many British planes as- cended but they could not be seen through the low crowds.
 At the time of the Kent alarm. gunfire was heard for several min- utes . considerable distance out in the English channel.
 The London alarm caused motor

 This rule will be presented in the house and will be accepted, but the vote will not be significant because the administration has agreed to 1t.

The vote on this motion will be the decisive one and will not be taken until after debate extending until Wednesday night or Thursday It will be the only direct house test of the em- bargo issue.
 Fate of Bill
 House Debate will find the fate of the bill in the hands of about 70 or 30 house members still publicly un.. committed. They include many of the 60 Democrats who voted against repeal last session ana of the A who did not vote. Some have told house leaders privately how they will vote, and bald-headed little Sam Rayburn, majority leader, has been carrying around in his pocket for weeks a page torn from the congressional record of the June vote. On that page he recorded enough switches to enable leaders to predict approval of repeal by small margin.
 President Roosevelt,s leaders in both houses are hopeful of adjourn ment by Saturday, but minority floor leader Joseph w. Martin, R., Mass, said his followers would oppose ad- journment.
 Senator Carter Glass, D., Va, in 8 statement last night made a blis- tering attack on restrictions imposed on American shipping, but conceded that the circumstances were such, unhappily, to make the action taken expedient, If not desirable"

the generous and brotherly sym pathy of the whole world, while it awaits, relying on the powerful in- tercession of Mary, help of Chris tians, the hour of a resurrection in harmony with the principles of jus- tice and true peace.
 In the midst of this world which today presents such a sharp con- trast to "the peace of Christ in the reign of Christ" the church and her faithful are in times and in years of trial such as have rarely been known in her history of struggle and suffering. With 8 heart torn by the sufferings and afficitions of so many of her sons, but with the courage and the stability that come from the promises of our Lord, the spouse of Christ gees to meet the gathering storms. This she knows, that the truth which she breaches, the char ity which she teachers and practices, will be the indispensable counsel ors and aids to men of good will in the reconstruction of a new world, based on justice and love, when mankind, weary from its course along the way of error, has tasted the bitter fruits of hate and violence. Christian Love
 In the meantime, however, ven- erable brethren, the world and all those who are stricken by the cala- mity of the war must know that the obligation of Christian love, the very foundation of the Kingdom of Christ, Is not an empty word, but living reality. A cast field opens up for Christian charity in all its forms. We have full confidence that all our sons, especially those who are not being tried by the scourage of war, will be mindful in imitation of the divine Samaritan of all these who, as victims of the war have right to compassion and help.
 In the confidence that God. the author and lover of peace, will hear the applications of the Church, we impart to you all as a pledge of the of divine grace. from the fullness of our paternal heart. the apostolic benediction.
