The Democratic margin was in
creased in Rhode Island and New
Hampshire, and the Republican
plurality cut down in Maine and
Vermont.
Democrats gained four congress

kazis Reported Calling
Nationals Out OF Greece
BY the Associated Press.

BELGRADE, Nov. Trust
worthy advices from Greece today
said that all Germans in Greece
had been advised by German diplo-
matte officials to leave the country
at once.
This move was interpreted in
neutral diplomatic quarters as in
dicating possibly that Germany
foresees no early fulfllment of the
expressed hope for quick settle
ment of the conflict.
Sixty-one members of the Ger
man commercial service in Greece
arrived here. They had left Athens
with the Italian Legation staff.
Train service between Greece and
Germany, which are separated by
the length of Yugoslavia, has been
at a standstill since the Italian
Greek outbreak.
German sources in Belgrade, how
ever, said the only Germans advised
to leave were those in Greece tenn
porarily. They said German residents
would remain.

as he told of crowds inspecting the
194l Ford now on display.
"All of the advance rumors about
major changes this year have been
borne out" Mr.. LeDuc declared.
1.-The big, new Ford for 194l con-
tains more basic improvements than
any model since the famous Model
A gave way to the Va, eight years
ago"
Everyone is talking about the as
founding size of the new Fords, and
no wonder, Ford engineers have
completely redesigned the car. Start
ing right in with an increased wheel
base and overall length, the de-
signers have enlarged the inside
body length both in foot room and
seating width. BY actual measure
ment, the front seat of the 1941
Ford sedan is full seven inches
wider than last year. There's more
headroom too, and window area, al
ready large in previous Ford cars,
is even larger for l94l.
Although running boards have
practically disappeared from sight,
due to the great new body width,
they are there to step on when the
doors are opened.
Mr.. LeDuc smiled as he told of
the new riding qualities. They've
engineered a brand new ride in
these cars. Larger tires, luxury
seat cushions, new softer springs,
increased wheelbase-all combine to
give sensationally smooth, gliding
ride"

Chinese Reports Indicate
Infensification OF War

HONG KONG, Oct. 29-Chinese
news dispatches indicated today an
old Japanese Chinese war.

Agency reported japanese troops in
Southern Honan Province had
started a three column offensive in
the direction of the western slope
of the Tepeis Mountain range, scene
Of several bloody battles,

Thus its strategic importance to
both sides obviously is immense.
Here is where British naval units
can do yeoman's service in defense.
Turkey still sits tight. She has
given every indication that she
will fight to the last ditch if di-
rectly attacked, but thus far hasn't
shown her hands as regards as
sisting Greece. 1t is notable, how
ever, that the Greek and Turkish
leaders are keeping in close COM
munication.
I should say that Turkeys atti-
tude must depend largely on that
of Moscow. If Bolshevist Leader
Stain gives Turkey the nod to go
ahead and join the Anglo-Greek
allies, it is likely that the Turks
will do so. If he turns thumbs
down, Turkey might be expected
to remain neutral unless in danger
of direct attack herself.
Should the Turks decide to join
the British, there can be small
doubt that the Turkish land forces
and the British naval strength
would make a powerful combina-
ton, especially when operating
from the protection of the Dardan-
elles. That undoubtedly is what
the English are praying for, and
should this develop I should say
the position would be so favorable
that the British would be glad this
new theater of war had opened up
so as to have the axis fighting on
two fronts.

Greece Brings Britain
1900, 900 Tons of Ships

NEW YORK, Oct. IS tP,.-The
British radio said in a broadcast
heard here by N. B. c. today that
England has gained "a total of
100000 tons of additional ship
ping" because Greece has placed
her ships at Britain's disposal.
Greek shippers here said yester-
day they would hold all ships in port
ito await developments"
At least three freighters of the
Hellenic Lines are on the Atlantic,
bound for America. Numerous
tramp steamers of the Greek mer-
camille marine, ninth largest in the
world tonnage, are scattered
throughout the seven seas.
Also at sea, en- route to unlisted
destinations" are: The Aspasia
Nomikos. 8 1888 tons, which left Gal
weston October Is; Korthion, 2,ll6
tons, which left Portland, Me, for
Nova Scotia, october II, and Aghios
Georgios which put out of Hampton
Roads last Sunday
Four freighters are in New York
and two more in Philadelphia.
At the outbreak of the war in
1899, Greece had GOT merchant YES
sells of. 1,78O $3.50 tons. In the war
at sea, she has lost at least 81, or
per cent, of these, a total of
221 800 tons.

''Evson' distinguished themselves In
the Balkan wars and the Asia Minor
campaign.
Increasing confidence was ex-
pressed in government circles that
the Greek Army. rapidly being REIN
forced by reservists, would be able
to hold out defensively and perhaps
even have strength to launch a
counter offensive into Albania
against the Italians.
The reservists rallied to the colors
under the old Balkan War slogan of
Greek armies: I'VE will throw them
into the sea-
Athens Backed Out.
Greeks, who heard nationwide
broadcasts of promises of aid by
King George vi and Prime Minister
Churchill of England. looked for
quick, strong support from British
naval units.
Athens was BACKED out over
night, and other Greek cities which
had their first bombings yesterday
worked feverishly to expand hospital
facilities and afraid defenses.
Reports indicated more than so
were killed and more than 100 in
jured in the first bombing of the
Greek port of Patras.
In the capital itself, anti-aircraft
guns on Mount Lycabettus, 900 feet
above the streets, fired at raiders
seen repeatedly over the ancient
city once guarded by the walls of
Themistocles. No bombs fell on
Athens yesterday, but the city's air
port was bombed, and other raiders
dropped explosives on Piraeus, port
city for Athens.
Italian bombers also were said to
have attempted to damage the i'm
portant Corinth Canal, shortcut
link between Northern Greece and
the Peloponnesus.
A communique from defenders of
the Metaxas line, built by Greece's
Premier-Dictator Gen. John Metax-
as after the Italians took over AL
bania, said fighting was "localizing
on the border"
Greeks troops were said to be
clnging stubbornly to strong points
guarding mountain passes, despite
hard Italian thrusts along miles of
the frontier.
The direction of the Italian at
tack was taken to indicate that
Salonika, on the Aegean Sea, is the
first main objective of the Fascist
legions. That would cut off Mace
donia and Thrace and sever the
Greek defenders from friendly Tur-
key by land.
Although there was no sign what
course Turkey might take, cheer
ing crowds carried Turkish banners
along with their own and British
flags, and hoped for help.
Premier Metaxas talked by tele-
phone with President Inonu of Tur.

Soviet Russia Stands PAT
On Policy Of Neutrality
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
MOSCOW, Oct. 29.-Soviet Rus
STA appeared today to be standing
pat on her policy of neutrality de-
spite the extension of the war into
Greece.
The Moscow press published
lengthy but non-committal reports
from foreign sources on the spread
of the war deeper into the Balkans
near Turkey, Russia's friendly
neighbor.
The importance Of the new cam
paign was emphasized by Pravda,
organ of the Communist party, in
factual article describing the stra-
tegic situation of Greece.
THE concentration of a compare
lively great quantity of important
British and Italian naval and air
bases in the Eastern Mediterranean
heightens still more the strategic
significance Of Greece and its is
lands, located in that part of the
Mediterranean where routes pass
toward Egypt, Suez and the Turkish
straits" Pravda said.
Both press and the official radio
remained non-committal in their at
titude toward developments and
there was no indication of the gov
ernment's reaction to the Italian
march into Greece.
