LONDON, Nov. 11.-Londoners

day to honor the heroes of the
war to end wars" while a new
generation fought off German raid
ers in the sky overhead.
1t was not the customary large
Armistice Day crowd, since the
dangers of the air war prevented
prolonged official observance. But
as Big Ben struck II, the hour at
which the fighting ended % years
ago, small crowd stood with barred
heads for a moment and two women
dressed in deep mourning placed
wreaths at the base of the memorial
in Whitehall.
Traffic rOared on as the little
band maintained the traditional two
minutes of silence.
The Lord Mayor of London, &C
companied by small party, placed
a wreath on the Royal Exchange
War Memorial.
WreathS also were placed at the
cenotaph on behalf of Prime Min
lister Churchill, Queen Mother Mary

Land Plane Service
To Lisbon Suspended

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, Nov. 11-British land
plane service to Lisbon has been
suspended as a winter measure. 3"
it was disclosed officially today, but
twice-weekly flying boat service is
being continued to the Portuguese
port. Land planes have operated
on the Lisbon run Mondays. Tues
days, Thursdays and Fridays: flying
boats on Wednesday and Sundays.
These planes provide connections
for transatlantic Clipper planes
and for American steamers which
call at Lisbon, but which are pro-
hibited by United States neutrality
legislation from visiting belligerent
ports.
Although f1ying-boat service be-
tween Lisbon and London will keep
open the last remaining link for
Americans travelling between this
country and besieged Britain, sus-
/ pension of land-plane service will
further limit access to the British
Isles.
The flow of passenger traffic tc
London has been confined to air
and ship travel from this country
to Lisbon, a neutral port. and from
| there to London by plane. italian
and German commercial planes also
have been operating out of Lisbon,
thus giving Americans access to
other parts of belligerent Europe.
The American Neutrality Act for
bids American citizens to travel to
belligerent zones in ships of bellig-
erent countries and American ships
are forbidden to travel in belliger-
ent waters.
Except for air routes out of Lis
bon, Americans have been shut off
from all forms of travel contact with
the United Kingdom and Ireland as
well as the belligerent and occupied
countries on the continent.
Even when land plane service be-
tween Lisbon and London offered
four round trips a week, Americans
often were compelled to wait many
days in Lisbon in order to obtain
accommodations.
British subjects have been using
this Observation-Disclosures York route
for heavy westward travel, but they
still have available the perilous
North Atlantic ship route in British
vessels which put in at Canadian
and American ports.

Worldwide Agreement
Expected in Berlin

BERLIN, Nov. II LP.-Soviet
Premier Vyacheslaff Molotoff will
discuss and agree upon policies of
worldwide character with German
offlcialdom when he reaches Berlin
tomorrow on the first trip of his
life out of Russia, a Well-informed
source indicated today.
DienSt aus Deutschland, COM
mentary closely aligned to the Will

| event of global character = 3" 1t goes,
! doubtless, beyond mere recognition
CT the international position Of the
Soviet Union and the positive rela-
tons of friendship between the two

progressive development of the Rus

Talks May Center on Turkey.
That the new three power pact
between Germany, Italy and Japan
would be explored during the visit
was regarded in informed circles as
obvious. Some sections of the Ger
man press indicated. also. that the
talks might center on the problem

Turkish Problem Within Scope.
The National zeitung stated bold
~ last night, short time after
Molotoff left Moscow by rail amid
considerable ceremony, that the
Turkish question lay within the
scope Of conference, scheduled to
open early this week, perhaps to-
morrow.
Because of the controlled nature
of the German press this assertion
took on the aspects of an authorita-
tive declaration of what was to
come up in the discussions. Dienst
aus Deutschland commented that
Molotoff'S visit, made on Germany
invitation, indicated that the Berlin
RomeTokio alliance had found a
welcome reception" in Moscow.
(From Rome came word that
Italy's Foreign Minister, Count
Galeazzo Ciano, might attend the
Berlin conference, although there
was no mention of this in Berlin
or Moscow. Rome observers also
mentioned the possibility of a
discussion of the Turkish ques-
ton, as did neutral sources)
Press Comments Tempered.
All press comments on the Ger
man-Russian discussions, however,
were tempered with the caution that
nothing too revolutionary should be
expected.
(Molotoff, accompanied by a
staff of 80 experts on foreign
affairs, internal affairs, COM

Rayvi||e's Captain
Believes Torpedo
May Have Hit Ship
Master Describes Mass
Of Water Piled on
Decks by Explosion
BY the Associated Press.


MELBOURNE, Australia, Nov. II
Capt. Arthur P. Cronin of the
United States freighter City of Ray
vile said last night that his vessel
may have been torpedoed rather
than mined when she went down
last Friday at dusk in the Bass
Strait with loss of one crew member.
She was the second ship to 60
down of the Australian coast within
"a hours. A British ship, the name
of which was not divulged, sank
Thursday after striking what was
believed to be mine.
Capt. Cronin said that when the
explosion occurred it seemed as If
his ship had run ashore or struck
brick wall. but owing to the enor-
nous volume of water which piled
her decks he did not disregard
the possibility that a torpedo may
have sunk her.
Both sunken vessels passed I'M
identified ships; one crossed the
bows of the Rayville shortly before
the explosion.
Yesterday minesweepers at work
in Bass Strait found several mines
of foreign origin. The strait con-
tinues to be closed to shipping.
Shipping circles in Sydney ex-
pressed belief that German armed
raider, perhaps the one identified
by the Admiralty as the Narvik,
probably had laid the minefleld in
Australian waters
Altogether this raider was blamed
for six ship sinkings in Australian
waters in the last few months and
several sinkings in the Indian Ocean
and elsewhere.
Warships have been securing a
large coastal area in search for the
raider and the air force has carried
the hunt over a wider expanse of
sea
