Germans Expect Aid
OF Small Nations in
Paper Says
Rumuniuns Are Told
Of Preparations
For Offensive
By the Associated Press.


BUCHAREST, Rumania, Dec. S.
The frank statement that Germany
expects smaller European nations to
lend their armies, their territory and
their transport facilities to the axis
for spring offensive was made yes
terday by Curentul, the newspaper
which frequently is called the Nazi
mouthpiece in Rumania.
u RumanlanS in particular were eX-
horted to look seriously on their
promise of military assistance to the
aXiS-made, along with those of
Hungary and Slovakia, in recent
adherence to the all for one and
one for all" alliance among Berlin,
Rome and Toxic. Nazi troops al
~eady are in Rumania
Axis diplomacy" said the news
paper, lis preparing a huge coalition
OF all European states which will
involve participation of their armies
and the free use of their territories
and transport facilities"
The newspaper did not say which
direction the offensive was to take,
but the implication seemed clear
that it referred to the German drive
which is expected to descend through
Bulgaria or YugoSlavia into Greece.
Turkey, and the Near East-aimed
eventually at Suez; possibly to be CO.
ordinated with a German thrust
through Spain at Gibraltar.
Curentul also forecast an axis
league of nations at Vienna-in
which the axis would make and pur-
sue its own decisions without re-
ferring them to satellite states.

RED CROSS MAKING
CONTACTS ABROAD
FOR LOCAL PEOPLE

Since September 1, 1889, 213
persons living in Baltimore city
and Baltimore and Howard coun-
ties have been in touch with
the Baltimore chapter of the
American Red Cross concerning
friends and relatives abroad, the
local Office has announced. These
inquiries have made it necessary
for the Baltimore chapter to make
inquiry with the following ten
countries through the American
Red Cross: Czechoslovakia, Eng
land, Finland, France, Germany,
Hungary, Nigeria, Poland, Ru-
mania and Switzerland.
The American Red Cross,
through the International Red
Cross Committee and the State
Department is endeavoring to OBJ
tain as quickly as possible the
information. When secured, it is
relayed to the Baltimore chapter
office. In making these inquiries,
it is naturally necessary for some
time to elapse because of the re-
moval of persons from their orig
inal dwelling places. To date, 29
replies have been received by the
Baltimore Chapter and this infor-
nation has been relayed to in
quirers.

Isn't it a grand and glorious

really smart housewives these days

they have their cupboard well
stocked with canned soups, then
with the usual salad ingredients in
the house which most people ha2
anyway, and a few recipes for
really good mullins or biscuits -
well, need any housewife worry I?
Particularly when muffin and bis
cult recipes are figured out to the
nth degree these days, they're prac.
tically failure proof. Take corn
mullins for example, how we'll they
accompany either soup or salad,
and how easy to prepare as shown:
