President Roosevelt disclosed to-
day that two submarines, which
he said were not identified, had
been sighted in waters off South
ern Alaska and off Boston.
The Maritime Commission, the
Chief Executive told reporters,
had been informed of the pres
ence of the undersea craft.
The submarines were not Amer
ican, Mr.. Roosevelt said, and
they were sighted by ships at sea.
He declined to disclose the spe-
cific source of the Governments
information about their presence,
but said those sources were per-
fectly reliable.
The submarine in the Pacific,
Mr.. Roosevelt asserted, was off
the southern boundary of Alaska,
where it joins Canadian terri
tory.
That in the Atlantic, he said,
was so to 10 miles from the
southern tip of Nova Scotia, half
way between there and Nam
tucket Shoals.
Asked whether the Govern
ment's neutrality patrol" was in
the vicinity of the submarines,
Mr.. Roosevelt said merely that
the patrol was operating from
Eastport, Me-, to and including
the Gulf of Mexico and the Car
ibbean Sea. There is no regular
patrol in Pacific waters, he added.
Asked whether the underwater
ships were in the territorial

Nuzi-Soviet Agreement
On Lund to Be Held
Announced by Berlin
BY the Associated Press.

BERLIN, Sept. ga German
Russian agreement under which
Germany is Withdrawing her armies
in Poland to the west OF the con-
tinuous nerth-south line formed by
the PISA, Narew, Vistula and San
Rivers was announced here today.
Warsaw, on the west bank of the
Vistula, will remain in German
hands.
The announcement described the
line of the rivers as the "demarca-
ton line" but it was pointed out
that future boundaries would not
necessarily follow it.
Russian armies, however, will oc-
cupy Eastern Poland up to this line,
including the cities of Lublin. Luck,
Lwow, Brezesc (Brest-Litovsk) :,
Bialystok and Wilno (Vilna).
The fate of Warsaw was under
stood to have been one of the last
points agreed upon in the Nazi-
Soviet negotiations on immediate
apportionment of Polish territory.
Conversations Continue.
Diplomatic negotiations to settle
the future of the Polish people so
far as Germany and Russia are con-
cerned and to establish future Ger
man-Russian boundaries were con-
tinuing in Moscow as staff officers
fixed terms of army movements.
The perfect unison" of German
and Russian armies operating in
Poland was announced in a high
command communique, which told
of the relief by Soviet troops of Ger
man units fighting near the south
western Polish city of Lwow.
Movements of the German and
Russian troops toward an agreed
demarcation line is proceeding on
schedule and in perfect unison," the
statement said.
Only isolated shock-troop opera
tions were reported on the western
front, where the Germans said a
French pursuit plane was shot down
in an air fight.

Congress to lift the arms embargo

Ferguson and Call
Win First Events
In Regatta Races
Pennsylvonion Escapes
Injury When Entry
Catches Fire
BY MALCOLM LAMBORNE. Jr.

Racing youth took the lead in the
heats of two outboard classes COM
peting in the opening session of the
Presidents Club Regatta this after
noon under conditions ideal for the
little cockleshells.
Twenty-two-year-old Clinton Fer
guson, national high point scorer
from Waban. Mass, led a small field
OF Glass A boats for amateurs in
both heats. In the closing race his
blue-hulled Bomb Shell was clocked
at 1888 miles an hour, several miles
under the class record.
Fred Jacoby of North Bergen,
N. j., rated one of the best pro-
fessionals in outboard ranks, fell
before relative newcomer, 27-
year-old Ernie Call of Willoughby
Ohio. Calls Little Margie led in
both heats to win the class event
OF 10 starters.
The simon-pure drivers saw Carl
Hildebrand Of Richmond, Va, finish
second in both heats to place in that
position for class A.
One Entry Catches Fire.
Young Walter E. OF, jr., of Wyn-
neWood, Pa. narrowly escaped in
jury in the concluding race for
class A professionals when his racer
broke a gas line and caught fire.
He quickly put it out and was towed
from the course by a Coast Guard
boat.
Earlier in the day Jacoby, in
mile trials upstream from the rae
ing course, set new 1-mile mark
for class B outboards. He was
clocked at So 1925 miles an hour. The
old record was 5286.
River Conditions Perfect.
In contrast to last years nasty
chop that kept boats from setting
any new records, drivers today were
greeted with ideal outboard weather.
The cloudy Potomac was as calm
as the Lincoln Memorial Rejecting
Pool. Only a faint and variable
breeze was stirring, giving promise
OF additional American records be-
ing set.
Eleven existing speed marks have
fallen this year in a heated on
slaught on the record books.
Several hours before the first gun
was fired from the Coast Guard
cutter Calypso anchored off the
fag-bedecked grandstands in East
Potomac Park, drivers were trying
out the oval course over which tbev
will speed for three laps totaline
S miles.
DR.. Ralph E. Gould, chief of the
time section of the Bureau of Stand
ards, was officiating before a bar

clock each boat as it finishes. They
were timed to fifth of a second,

British Parties Aqree
To Hold No Elections
While War Lasts
Income Tax, Now $l.l0
On 1896, Due to Go Up
About 209o More
BY the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, Sept. 22-The British
Press Association reported tonight
that Representatives of Britain's
principal political parties had
agreed there should be no parlia-
mentary or municipal elections
while the war continues.
Before the war began it had been
expected a general election would
be held in November.
AS the government set up a mu-
nitions supply council to speed up
production of arms and supplies,
Sir John Simon, chancellor of the
excheQuer, prepared to increase the
already steep taxes.
1t was generally expected the
budget to be submitted to the House
OF Commons next Wednesday would
boost the income tax five shillings
The British taxpayer now pays the
government five shillings six pence
($1.10 out of every pound sterling
($396) he earns.
The government at the same
time took steps to curb profiteering.
The press intensified a campaign
against unjustifled price increases
by opening departments devoted to
complaints from consumers.
A British government announce
ment described a victory for Royal
Air Force planes on the western
front for the first time in the 1899
European war.
A ministry of information COM
munique said during the course of
air operations on Wednesday, Sep
tember 20, one German fighter was
shot down by our aircraft in France"
This was the first official intima-
ton that British planes on the west
ern front had taken the offensive in
anything more than reconnaissance
flights.
The announcement served in some
measure to allay popular impatience
for news of real British military
action now that there are reports of
vast German troop and plane trans
fers to the western front.
A ministry of information COM
munique today said "a number of
German officers arrived at a prison
camp in England yesterday. Other
prisoners also were taken to an
other camp" No numbers were
given.
It was recalled that Prime Min
lister Chamberlain told the House of
Commons September IS that some
prisoners had been taken in British
successes against German subma-
rines.
Meanwhile the nation viewed with
guarded optimism the prospect that
the United States Congress may lift
the embargo on arms at the urging
of President Roosevelt.
Banner lines, editorials and car
toons reflected Britain's popular be-
lief that Mr.. Roosevelt's message
would result in access to American
planes, munitions and other war
stocks for Britain and France
There were, however, no fortnight
or sweeping predictions on this score
and official reaction was completely
lacking.
Typical was the London Stars edi-
torial statement that fair assump-
ton is that Congress will finally
work out a method of neutrality re-
vision which will assure a steady
flow Of war materials to the allies,
but will at the same time provide
against direct American
participation in European affairs"

is not expected to return to Wash

There's no need for further

one at Temple for the cooperation

resignation undoubtedly was i'll
