tice Department for its study and
analysis and for its determination Of
the suficiency Of the testimany that
may be presented from the stand
point Of possible action in the
courts.
Mr.. Hull then was asked If any
reply had been given to an inquiry
reported made by the Dies Commit
tee, seeking the State Departments
advice as to whether its information
could be made public at open hear
ings without jeopardizing diplomatic
relations between the United States
and Germany.
In reply he repeated his state
ment that 1t was State Department
policy to transmit any material of
that nature to the Justice Depart
ment. This was done, he added, in
order to have the benefit Of the JUS
tice Departments views as to the
exact nature and significance of the
material. especially with reference
to its criminal nature.
No Information on Bank Funds.
Such a study might shed light on
the other question, the Secretary
said, presumably referring to effect
of disclosure of the material on
diplomatic relations with Germany.
Mr.. Hull said he had no informa-
ton to confirm other reports that
members of the German Embassy
staff here had been withdrawing
their funds from the Riggs National
Bank. He said he thought some
thing Of the kind had taken place
but that he had not attributed
enough importance to it to keep up
with the matter.
Intensified Government vigilance
to stamp out propaganda that might
be carried on by foreign diplomatic
or consular officers was called for
by resolutions adopted by all the
American republics at a conference
of foreign ministers in Havana

Americans Withdrawal
From kaifeng Reported
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHUNGKING. Oct. 19.-Central
News, an agency of the Central Chi
nese government, reported today
renewal of American outbursts
at Kaifeng, Japanese occupied capt.
tai of Honan Province and said Jap
anese were forcing a withdrawal of
Americans there.
The headlines of the Chinese press
dwelt on Chinese-American rela-
tions, reporting that further
United States loan to China was be-
ing considered.
Editorials said any new loan would
be more significant than previous
ones because the United States now
is seeking materials to strengthen
her defenses. Tie papers contended
it would amount to practically
American entrance into defensive
alliance with China.
Chinese dispatches reported that
Japanese planes for the first time
bombed Kokiu, in southern Yunnan
Province, where tin mines are To-
Gated.

Secretary Hints
BY GARRETT d. HORNER.

Secretary Of State Hull indicated
today the Justice Department had
been asked to determine whether
evidence gathered by the Dies Com

tivities Of Nazi consular agents In

questions at his press conference
that the Dies Committee had sub
mitted some documents to the State

plies when asked about the nature

its criminal implications was drawn
from general statements by Mr.

Brig. Gen. SpouIdine
Cites Military Toetics
In Defeating Britoin

Generally accepted tradition was
contradicted by Brig. Gen. Oliver
Lyman Spaulding, U. s. A, re-
tired, In q speech entitled ''The
Colonial Wars as Background
for the Revolution" which he
made last night before meeting
of the Society Of the Sons of the
Revolution in the District Of Co.
lumbia.
Contrary to belief, all the col
onists participating in the Revo-
luton were not Indian fighters and
backswoodsmen. The majority Of
them were experienced fighters,
gaining their military knowledge
from century of campaigning
under the British command. In
or about ITS the first American
books on disciplinee and training
of troops, based on English vol
umes, were published and were
widespread among the colonists
Washington's military library was
very complete at the outset of the
war for freedom" Gen. Spaulding
said
Cites Early Lack of Organization.
He blamed the weakness of the
colonists at the outset of the war
on the lack of central organization
and jealousy among the Colonies
themselves rather than the lack
of experience.
In detailed history of pre-
war battling, Gen. Spaulding, a
widely known military writer and
historian, cited the early change OF
military tactics from the rigid order
lines to light. mobile units.
Gen. Spaulding supplemented his
speech with maps on which he To-
Gated Notifications in New England
erected in the 18th century, which
still remain.
