EVERY CATHOLIC
 GROUP TO OBJECT
May Join in Condemnation of Any Birth Control
 Clinic in City

Catholic organizations were plan ming today to follow the lead of the Catholic Clergy Association in adopting g resolutions condemning the alleged. birth control clinic at the Chase Dispensary. Such reso- lution was adopted last night by the Notre Dame Alumnae associa- tion.
 States Attorney William B. Fitz- gerald, whose office is investigating the operation of the clinic, had no comment to offer today. His inves- tigation, however, is proceeding. The probe thus far has been high lighted by the seizure of quantity of articles at the dispensary by County Detective Roland G. filling and Deputy Sheriff Albert Francis. The articles, unidentified, are now in the custody of the states attor- ney.
 Statement Expected
 It is believed that a statement may be forthcoming soon on the situation from Most Reverend Maurice F. McAuliffe, bishop of Hartford. First public revelation of the Waterbury clinic was made by the Connecticut Birth Control League, which also claims to be op- erating a number of other birth control clinics about the state.
 The Notre Dame Alumnae reso- lution declared that the organiza- ton, as a Catholic body, supports the stand taken by priests of the city in their resolution read at masses Sunday. The priests con- demned the clinic and demanded official investigation.
 Probe Started Saturday
 MT. Fitzgerald began his probe Saturday morning, after disclosure in The Democrat the night before of the alleged birth control clinic. Miss Jeannie Heppel, dispensary superintendent, admitted that a birth control clinic was being op- erated. as claimed by the Birth Control league,
 Later. authorities of. Waterbury hospital, which employs the dis- pensary as an out-pationt depart nsent, declared that the clinic was e genealogical clinic" not Q birth control clinic in the general moan- ine o[ tnc term.

Law Bars u. S.
Citizens From
Other Armies

BY the Associated Press.
A statute enacted in 1917 would
make it illegal for American citizens
to enlist in any European army for
hoStilities abroad.
A fine of not more than 81 900 and
imprisonment of not more than three
years are the penalties.
In addition. any American citizen
who enlisted in a foreign army and
took oath of allegiance to the gov
ernment he was serving would lose
his American citizenship.
In the past, the State Department
has taken the position that citizens
who enlist in the military services
of foreign states can not expect to
receive the protection which the
United States ordinarily accords it's
citizens.
Numerous Americans were re-
ported to have enlisted in the Span
ish civil war, but available records
here show no convictions on charges
of violating the enlistment statute.

U. 5. High Officials
Quiet on Prospect
OF Major War
Sudden Move Stunned
As to Invoking Of
Embargo on Arms

Washington officials refrained
from comment on the European
situation last night as reports of
renewed fighting and bombings in
Poland overshadowed earlier indi-
cations of lessening hostilities.
Rapid developments abroad left
officials uncertain as to what to
expect next. 1t was felt in some
quarters that nothing could be said
until the results of the latest move
by Britain and France-a final no.
tice to Adolf Hitler that failure to
withdraw his troops from Poland
would result in general European
War-were known
Hope, however slender, that
major war might be averted re-
manned as long as general conflict
had not actually begun, in the view
of some officials.
Both the White House and the
State Department made it plain this
Government would take no steps to
invoke the Neutrality Act until a
clearer picture of the European sit
uation was obtained.
At Secretary of State Hull's press
conference, reporter recited press
reports from abroad, and asserted
they were confusing to observers

Concrete Outline Lacking.
Secretary Hull said that his re-
ports, too, failed to bring any con-
crete outline of developments. He
said he felt it was a sound policy
for the State Department not to
publicize rumors and reports which
might be proved incorrect within
from three to six hours.
In other official quarters, observers
said they were unable to add up"
such developments as the seeming
slowing down of military operations,
the French expression of willingness
to participate in a last minute peace
effort if German aggression" were
halted and Reichschancellor Hitler's
decision to draft a reply to Great
Britain's most recent note.
Along with Mr.. Hull, Stephen
Early, White House secretary, en-
phasized that the administration
would await further developments
before it takes any major steps. He

The second world war has begun.
All Europe is bracing itself for the

But the British are calm and con-

They are sick and tired of Hitler and
his appalling recklessness, to say
nothing of his bad faith.

To Germany Planned

CLEVELAND, Sept. "A call to
the German people to rise up and
defeat Adolf Hitler" was sounded
today. by the German-American
League for Culture In national con-
vention here.
Attempts will be made to broad
cast the message to Germany

tions, one in England, one in the
United States and a secret station

Ry the Associated Press.
PARIS, Sept 2.-France and Brit
ain through their highest spokes-
men, declared definitely tonight that
unless Adolf Hitler calls his troops
out of Poland a general European
war will commence.
1t was understood generally that
final and formal notice to that
effect would be delivered to the
German Fuehrer in the course Of
the night.
The notice would require an i'm
mediate reply or at least one within
a set time limit.
The British and French proposals
were identical.
Negotiations Still Possible.
M. Daladier, before the French
Chamber of Deputies, and British
Foreign Secretary Lord Halifax, be-
fore the British House of Lords,
said negotiations still were possible
if German troops cease hostilities
and withdraw from invaded Poland.
On the bare shred of hope that
Hitler might accept this proposal
seemed to hang the chances of
peace.
Every one here went on the as
sumption that he would not. In
that case, it was agreed generally
that France and Britain would have
to start a war of assistance to Po-
land without much more delay.
President Albert Lebrun in a mes
sage read to Parliament today said:
THE future of civilization is at
stake
M. Daladier, addressing the
crowded Chamber of Deputies, said
no Frenchman will go to war with
hatred for Germans at heart but all
will have the knowledge the very
existence" of their country was in
the balance.

the idea of making war. But they
are convinced that the sort of thing
Hitler has been doing must abso-
lutely be stopped. 1--WE cannot go
on this way" I have heard every
body say.
If anything were finally necessary
to stiffen the British and remove
any last trace of the feeling that
negotiations were still possible, it
was the manner of Hitler's behavior
just before he struck at Poland.
The British like good form. Perhaps
it was foolish to expect nice manners
from Hitler. but it really seems that
the British were almost more
bothered by the way in which Hitler
provoked the final crisis than by the
effect of his behavior.
Hitler strung out the negotiations
with the British, giving some faint
hope that there might be a peaceful
settlement. Then, on Tuesday, he
informed the British that the Polish
plenipotentiaries must be in Berlin
