While WPA workers left their
jobs in almost a nationwide strike
Thursday in protest against the
new l3o-hour month. all was
quiet on the work-relief front in
Tacoma.
Local officers Of the Workers
Alliance, union Of relief workers
which has sponsored the walk-outs.
said they hoped there would be no
strike action here. but that they
have started a vigorous campaign
of protest TO the congressman and
senator's.
One reason for the state Of quiet
here was that there were no pro-
leets to leave. The WPA crews
finished their required working
hours for June under the old sched-
ule and almost all are off until
July 10 when the next work period
begins.

Under the new 130-hour sched-

and painters as well as common
lsborers, there will be no long
waiting periods between working
times. Until the new relief bill
went into effect, some skilled
workers were able TO finish their
months work in so to so hours.
Effect of the order, said Work.
ers Alliance officers, is to cut
hourly wages of project workers in
all brackets. While common la
borers will be cut from about so
cents an hour TO 43 cents, the cut
will be heaviest among the skilled
trades.
For that reason the protest is

Germans are expecting a big French
drive soon.
Baden is near the point where
French territory elbows into Ger
many, 90 miles north of Basel. The
development eased the Swiss worry
that French or Germans might try
to cut through corner of Switzer-
land to outflank the other.
Thousands of Swiss soldiers. 1t was
learned today, have returned tempo
rarily at least to civil life-the first
official sign of Switzerlands grow

It was estimated the first batch
of soldiers to get leaves numbered
$4,000 mostly dairy and agricultural
workers. Nevertheless, well over
400, 900 Swiss soldiers still are guard
ing every one of the confederation's
many railroad tunnels and bridges.
Mobile Equipment Concentrated.
Another indication the French are
about to open an offensive against
main forts of the Siegfried Line
was seen in reports of a concentra-
ton of mobile equipment at certain
points of the Maginot Line.
Such fast equipment has been OF
little use to the French so far in

Cruise on British Ship
Becomes Adventure

On a British cruise ship in the At
lanic in wartime is no place to spend
a vacation, according to Mrs. John
Bohrer. secretary to Representative
Chiperfield, Republican, of Illinois
who returned to Washington yester-
day from Nassau.
Hitler's forces had marched into
Poland when Mrs. Bohrer walked up
the gank plank Of the British ship
Lancashire in New York for long
planned vacation cruise to Nassau
But neither she or the $50 other
passengers aboard had any idea that
within a short time Great Britain
would be at war with Germany or
that Hitler's U-boats might swing
into action on the high seas.
The Lancashire was several hun
dred miles off the Atlantic coast
when she received word by radio of
the outbreak of hostilities in Europe
Immediately, Mrs. Bohrer said. port
holes of the ship were blackened
and a zig-zag course was followed
to Nassau.
In complete darkness, Mrs. Bohrer
explained. the ship plowed through
the Atlantic. arriving at Nassau toe
late to allow more than hours OF
a scheduled 18-hour stop-over. The
return trip, she said, was made under
the same conditions.

for position which has marked the
war thus far. 1t would play major
role when and if the French broke
through the main Siegfried forts.
In preliminary thrusts and coun-
ter-thrusts, as pictured in advices
reaching Switzerland, the French
moved up as much as miles and
captured four German towns
Brenschelbach, Uttweiler, Peppen-
KUN and Medelsheim, northwest OF
Bitche-while small German patrols
crossed into French territory for the
first time.
German Penetration ShOrt-Lived.
The German penetration OF
French territory, however, was said
to have been short-lived. the Ger
mans retiring to their own side OF
the frontier after furious clashes.
This action occurred just east OF
| Saarguemines and southeast OF
Saarbruecken.
With the left flank pinned on the
great Moselle forts of the Maginot
line and the right flank supported
by the huge Bitche Notifications,
French forces struck out all along
the northern section of the western
front, meeting German counterat-
tackS.

BY THOMAS r. HENRY,
Star 6tan Correspondent.

LONDON, Sept. 12.-This great
childless city has by now almost ad-
tusted itself to the strange ways
of life forced upon it by war con-
ditions. There is perhaps an ex-
aggerated kindliness, for the Eng
lish people are trying hard to carry
on a hateless war. Everybody seems
determined not to let the war crack
his nerves.
This spirit is especially notable
in such a place as the famous old
Bow street police station in Covent
Garden, where aliens are being regis
tered. The work is done by ordinary
policemen and is a rather compli-
Gated clerical job. The aliens are
former Germans and Austrians,
most of them bitter against the
Nazi regime and terribly worried
about their own futures. The police
spend lots of time comforting and
advising them. The same is true
at all the transportation agencies.
Pray for Enemies.
On Sunday Great Britain prayed
for its enemies, prayed while carry
ing gas masks. From the altar of
Westminster Abbey, surrounded by
the graves of the most renowned
of the British race, to pulpits of
little country churches of all de-
nominations. the note of the ser
mons was the same prayer, that
reason might prevail in Germany.
1T may well be-" declared Canon
w. Thompson Elliott at the morn
ing services in Westminster Abbey,
that this war will not be won on

any battlefield, but in the hearts
of men," And he likened the Hitler
regime to that old serpent, the
devil" Of the Book of Revelation.
Thus England answered the hymn
Of hate chanted across the Rhine
Saturday by Field Marshal Goering
In few churches were there prayers
for a victory at arms or any nationl
self glorification Both Canon Eli
oft and the Dean of st. Pauls urged
their congregations not to give way
to an unreasoning hatred OF the
German people.
A Psychological War.
Many recent visitors to Germany,
it was stressed, have described the
vast amount of anti-war feeling there
which has been suppressed, but not
killed. 1t is this, the preachers
felt. that may end the Nazi regime.
This is the great battle being fought
in the hearts Of men.
The nearly unanimous note of the
clergy apparently was not due to
any prearranged plan, but was eacn
mans individual expression Of the
sentiment of the average man and
woman on the street. 1t is the same
spirit that has found expression in
dropping pamphlets instead OF
bombs on enemy villages-a con-
viction that the real battlefield is
to be the mind of the German ma
ton. A victory in that battle, the
average Englishman feels, would be
of far greater strategic importance
than a major naval or military
victory and might put an end to the
war in short order.
Nowhere yet in the British press
or pulpit or in ordinary conversa-
ton has a word of hatred been
expressed for anybody except the
Nazi chief and his close associates.

developments during the last week.
Apparently this is partly due to the
small amount of news officially re-
leased for publication.
Fewer commentators are heard on
the international broadcasts.
The script for news or comment
must be submitted to censor at the
British Broadcasting Co.-usually a
regular member of the B. B. c. staff
assigned as a censor He reads and
returns it to the speaker with any
suggested changes, then listens to
the broadcast.
The radio censors look mainly for
military information which might
be useful to the enemy.
