FOREIGN ENVOYS
 ARE ORDERED OUT
Germany Has Informed All Those in Conquered Na-
 ton to GO Home

Berlin, July 1-(UP)-The gov- ernment has informed foreign di- plomatic representatives here that all foreign diplomats must be with drawn from Norway, Belgium, Hol- land and Luxembourg by July IS, it was learned today.
 The foreign office here ruled that in view of the occupation of these countries by German troops, and because their governments had fled, there no longer was any basis for diplomatic representation at their capitals. Diplomatic representatives here were told that after July IS, all political matters affecting the four countries should be taken up with the foreign office here.
 Authorized quarters said that the present lull on the German diplo- matic and military fronts means that 1t will be all the worse for Great Britain when the blitzkrieg starts in that direction.
 A spokesman warned against drawing any false conclusions" from the surface calm here and said that the organization of the new drive cannot be accomplished in one day; troops must be rested and supplies replenished."
 Aerial sniping on the British Isles was reported proceeding nightly and observers said these flights were in- tended mainly to sound out the British defenses.

Balkans May Explode In War
 That Hurts Germany, Italy
War Moves On
 Today's Board
BY J. w. T. MASON United Press War Expert

Further interference with smooth operation of German and Italian plans for an unobstructed attack on the British empire is threatened by revival of Russia's old ambition to obtain partial or entire control of the Dardanelles. The seizure of Bessarabia and North Bukovina by Stalin has only secondary tmpor- tance to @ Slav movement toward the Dardanelles, in It's effect on Germany and Italy.
 Russia has been ambitious for gen. erations to obtain an unhampered warm water exit to the worlds ocean pathways. The Baltic is blocked by German control and by the narrow western exit. Vladivos- tok is icebound in winter and is too far away. Murmansk is ice-free, but its Arctic proximity gives it an iso- lated position far from the usual trade routes.
 Russia Seeks Domination
 Russia longs for domination over the Dardanelles, connecting the Black Sea with the Mediterranean, and the natural gateway into the in- ternational ocean lanes. If Turkeys hold over the Dardanelles could be broken in Russia's favor, Russian strength as a first class European power would be greatly increased. The Russian Black Sea fleet no longer would be bottled up in time of war.
 German ambitions in the Balkans and in the direction of Asia Minor would receive a serious setback with Russia astride the Dardanelles. Italy would see a new Mediterranean power emerging to challenge the Mussolini conception of "our sea" if Russia were to acquire the right to use the Dardanelles as a Slav wa- terway. Under the Hohenzollern re- gime, major international policy of Germany was to keep Russia away from the Dardanelles at all costs; and this diplomatic Levan- tine strategy has been inherited by Hitler.

Baldwin Street Bridge
 Plans To Be Discussed
Board of Public Works Will Take Up That Problem Tomorrow Night; Some Claim It Cannot
 Be Built This Year

Plans for starting work on the erectionaof the new Baldwin street bridge will be considered by the board of public works tomorrow night, Mayor Vincent A. Scully told The Democrat today. There have been claims that the delays since the first of the year will plake 1t impossible for the bridge to be built this year, but members of the works board today said that the project can still be completed before the close of 1940.
 City Engineer Charles A. Root said that general plans for the new structure have been virtually coni- pleted but that details, which de- pend on what the works board wishes, remain to be worked out.
 Right of Way Needed
 Permission for a right of way still has to be secured from the Scovill Mfg. Co. Mayor Scully said that this matter had been left to the city engineer and he did not know what success MT. Root had had.
 Residents of the Abrigador, Wash ington Hill and South Waterbury, along with many motorists who use the present bringe regularly have begun to complain about the city's failure to start work on building @ new bridge to replace the present admittedly unsafe structure. Pro- visions for erecting a new bridge was made in the city budget for this year, and 1t had been expected that work was to start as soon. as the winter was over.
 MT. Root some time ago said that completion of plans for the bridge had been delayed because the board of works had not informed the en- gineering bureau as to the type of structure it wanted. The budget provides $50, 0,262 for the bridge, but MT. Root has estimated that the actual cost will be at least SIS, 900 more.

CITY BUILDING
 OVER MILLION
New Buildings Construct ed Passed $1,0O0,-
 900 Figures

Value of new building construc- tion in Waterbury since Jan. to- day passed the $1,000, 900 mark. The unofficial total was close to 1,032, 900 in permits issued during the entire l2 months of 1899.
 Latest permits included one to John Kontout for the erection of five new one-family dwellings, on Nichols drive, at a total cost of $l3,- 500; one for an $500 addition to the Bristol Co. factory at Platts Mills; and one for an addition to the Connecticut Light & Power Go. station on Baldwin street extension, costing 56,509.
 Permits issued during June ex- ceeded $200,000, an unofficial tabu- lation showed today. The official monthly report of Building Inspec- tor John T. Hartley will be issued in a day or two.
 The largest single piece of con- struction in the first half of 1940 has been the new wing at St. Mary's hospital. Other large projects in- clude additions to the Waterbury Tool Co. and the American Brass Co.
 The 1940 building total will be swelled by several more factory ad- ditions, which are now in the plan- ming stage.

was believed likely to order general mobilization immediately to match the 100000 men under arms in King Carols whittled-down king dom.
 Similar clashes were reported on the Rumanian frontier of Bulgaria but confirmation was lacking. Bucharest heard that 30 had been killed or wounded in various from tier fights, which followed reports of fighting and disorders in the BeSsarabian and Bukoyina territory occupied by Red army mechanized ard aerial forces in tremendous" numbers.
 The suddenly increased threat of conflict over Hungary's long-stand- ing demands for return of Tran sylvania from Rumania created a highly explosive situation in the southeast and was complicated by uncertainty as to the ultimate aim of Russia, which has been reported desiring control of Rumanian oil fields and share in control of the Turkish Dardanelle Strait.
 Will It Hinder Hitler?
 Behind the fast-moving develop ments in the Balkans was the ques- tion of whether the Russian position ultimately would aid or hinder Adolf Hhler's conquest of western Europe. Rome and Berlin have insisted that they had no quarrel with Moscow, although there have been indica- tions that the move agaInsr Ru- mania surprised and possibly wor- ried them. British sources have hopefully sought grounds for believ-

 United Press Stan Correspondent) Honk Kong, July 1-(UP)-Evac- uating Americans filled the liner President Coolidge to capacity today while 1900 British women and chil- dren crowded aboard the liner Empress of Japan as fears grew of a Japanese attack on this British crown colony.
 (At the same time the exchange telegraph in London reported from Hong Kong that the Dutch consul has instructed 150 Dutch Nationals to evacuate as soon as possible. The Norwegian consul gave similar ad- vice to Norwegians. The Japanese consul general, however, was said to have told Japanese Nationals to stay in Hong Kong because there is no cause for worry.")
 The President Coolidge sails at midnight. The Empress of Japan leaves few hours earlier for Man. fla. Most of the women and chil- dren going aboard the Empress of Japan were wives of British army, air and naval officers and men.
 Cabins Are damned
 The cabins of the ship were jam- med. Camp beds were placed in all public rooms so that additional ref- ugees could be provided for.

Military observers in Bucharest said that the large number of armed forces sent into the occupied terri< tory appeared to be an attempt by the Russians to demonstrate their military power--especiai in raech- anized units-in order to offset the Red army's setbacks in the opening phases of the Finnish campaign.
 Speculation continued in dipl0- matic circles as to the attitude Of Germany toward the Russian inva- sion and three were persisten ru- mors that the Nazis were concerned about the Russian advance closer to hte Rumanian oil centers of Buzau and Ploesti.
 Official German and Rumanian sources refused confirmation of re- ports of friction. however, and Sol viet legation sources denied there' had been any friction with the Ger- mans or any clashes with Rumanja11 troops. They also denied that Russi& planned to take over any territory other than that cedUd by Rumania.
 The extent of clashes reported from the north was uncertain and there were few details. One report was that a fight occurred for pos session of 6 train running from Ga- latz, in Rumania, and Besarahia, and casualties totalled several hum dred.
 Local Incidents
 Officially the clashes between Ru- manian and Russian troops were called local incidents. But other re- ports said that there had been ser- ious fighting when eager Russian troops advanced ahead of scheduic into the ceded Bessarabian and northern Bukovinian areas.

 London, July 1.-(UP)-Steadily intepsifying bombing raids by the British and German air forces, and a speech by former Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain promising q house-to-house fight if necessary against German invasion, indicated today that the Nazi blitzkrieg against Britain was near.
 German planes dropped high ex- plosive and incendiary bombs on England, Scotland and Wales dur ing the night, and the air ministry announced that the royal air force had made further extensive raids on German bases in France, Holland and Germany.
 German planes, apparently seek ing royal air force airdromes, dropped high explosive and incen- diary bombs in Eastern England, and bombs of both types were dropped also on Wales and Western England. No serious damage or cas- ualties were reported in any of these areas, the air ministry said. In Eastern Scotland. the ministry said. town was attacked by planes which dropped incendiary bombs
