Moscow Shows No
Signs Of Preparing
For Imminent War

MOSCOW, June II CUP)-There
was no reliable indication in Mos
COW today that Russia has ordered
either general or partial mobiliza-
ton, but this was not believed to
mean that the Kremlin was unpre-
pared for any eventuality arising
from the international situation.
Reports from foreign sources re-
garding the imminence of Soviet
German conflict are not supported
by any external evidence in Moscow
Streets, cafes, and parks are
crowded as usual with the normal
number of men of military age who
would be in uniform if hoStilities
We're expected.
However, preparedness is the
theme of all public utterances by
Soviet speakers. The warning by
Premier Josef Stain "to maintain
a state Of mobilized readiness so
that no tricks of a foreign foe may
catch us unaWareS" has become
the keynote of all speeches and
articles dealing with the interna-
tional situation.
The Soviet press and radio give
prominence to reports that the Red
army is carrying ON intensive drills
at summer camps in preparation
for the annual maneuvers.
Imperial Valley press., 1941-06-17
Germany lrote
Over U.S.. Action

American relations, but the spokes-
man halted the questioning and
said:
I'VE absolutely refuse to speak re-
garding these questions today"
German quarters said that the
United States actions still were being
investigated closely and that they
would be studied by the "highest"
German quarters.
American quarters tensely await
ed official German reaction-and
perhaps retaliation-to the presi-
dents orders closing German con-
sulateS and propaganda agencies in
the United States and freezing all
German funds there.
1t was evident that both the
closure order and the fund freez-
ing decree came as complete sur
priSeS.
COURSE UNCERTAIN
The obvious course would be Ger
man retaliation on the same basis
closing of American consulates and
other agencies and freezing of
American funds in Germany.
But this course, diplomatic quar-
ters held, was neither necessary
nor certain. 1t was suggested that
Germany might make an emphatic
protest without retaliatory action
Imperial Valley press., 1941-06-17
SHIPS SEIZED

ShlIS SEIZED
Further increasing tension be-
tween Washington and the Europ-
can Axis powers is the seizure of
idle foreign shipping in our ports
which got under way yesterday with
six Danish vessels as "a starter. Both
German and Italian craft are ex-
pected TO be taken before the pro-
gram is completed There is am
pie evidence that such action will
be sharply resented in Rome and
Berlin.
Japanese American relations are
less Spectacularly disturbed and
there are some intimations here
OF a desire to go more than part
way to get along with the Japanese
But Ambassador Joseph c. Grew
has just made a sharp protest
against bombing near the American
embassy in Chungking, China, and
but for the more serious difficulties
arising with Germany and Italy,
WashingtonS relations with Tokyo
would look very black.
KNOX SPEAKS OUT
The word war is appearing from
time to time now in official and
public utterances of American Of
ficials. Secretary of Navy Frank
Knox in Montreal last, night ad-
dressed Canadian victory loan
drive audience with some views
which probably will arouse contro-
verSy between interventionists and
isolationists here.
Knox is one of those who takes
an extremely grave view of the gen.
eral international situation as it
affects the prospective peace OF
the United States and he did not
attempt to conceal that fact last
night in Canada. He thanked the
audience for their generous wei
come but said it caused him more
Of embarrassment than happiness"
explaining that he felt a sense OF
humility III facing the fighting peo-
pie of Canada.

Berlin Says Huge
British Force in
Desert Offensive

BERLIN. June II CUP)-A Ger
man military spokesman said to-
night the British have thrown
enormous forces" into the battle
of the western desert and suggested
Gen. Sir Archibald Wavell may have
launched an attempt to win back
Cyrenaica.
The military spokesman said the
attack By imperial forces at Sollun
has become so heavy "it is possible
TO speak of a large offensive, the
aim of which is the retaking of
Cyrenaica.
The spokesman claimed losses
being inflicted upon the British by
the German and italian defense
forces are comparable to those of
the battle of France.
The axis lines, he said are hold
ing in spite of the scale British
effort.

WASHINGTON, June IT, UP)-
United States relations with Europ-
can Axis powers rapidly were deter
loratlng today toward a basis of
feprlsai and increased tension.
Some administration officials take
IN extremely grave view OF the gen.

United States by freeze order dir

ERLIN QUIET
Berlin has not moved either with

Allies Strike at
Damascus Hills

holding out.
1t was indicated that attempts 10
negotiate a peaceful surrender of
Damascus had failed
British forces captured seven
Vichy tanks and stores of ammu-
milton at Saida, informants said.
DEFENSE STRONG
Discussing the fighting, authori-
tative sources said that it was in
excess of that hoped for but not
in excess of that guarded against
when the allies attacked.
Informants, discussing Vichy and
axis claims of damage to British
warships off Syria, said that "odd
hits" were to be expected in such
operations but that it was doubled
that, as claimed British cruiser
had been sunk.
It was believed that two imperial
columns which had started out
from Iraq were nearing Aleppo in
northwest Syria.
Dispatches indicated that the allied
command in Syria might plan to
surround Damascus, Beirut and
Aleppo rather than make frontal
attacks, hoping that the Vichy
troops would surrender to avoid a
siege.
A column which had been moving
up steadily for days was striking
directly at the Kayak area, which
is about midway between Damascus
and Beirut and is on the railroad
which connects those key cities.
PROGRESS SATISFACTORY
There was every indication that
the British command was satisfied
with progress in Syria and that
1t hoped to avoid any big scale
fighting with the Vichy troops.
But some newspapers showed
signs of uneasiness today, expressing
belief that Germany might start a
gigantic offensive at any time, by
way of Russia or Turkey or both,
with the oil fields of the middle
east as the objective.
I'm Syria our method of Offering
palm branch with one hand and
a Tommy gun with the other does
not seem to be very successful" !"

party organ.
