GERMANY HITS
 MOSCOW AGAIN

CCcntInued from Page D while the striking ground forces continue past 1t, leaving . besiegine force.
 Admitting that fierce and strong Russian resistance was slowing the German advance, the informants tacitly invited Russia to surrender Leningrad, Moscow and Kiev with out a fight, "to avoid destruction and loss of life"
 They said there were growing indications" that these key cities would be defended instead of being declared open towns so the Ger mans could march triumptantly in linopposed.
 Such tactics, they said, would prove futile and would only increase destruction and loss of life. They added that "such- tactics" also would probably prolong operations.
 Russia's Refusal
 Intimating that Russia's refusal to cooperate in avoiding bloodshed would make no real difference to the German operations, iI1formants said that all continued to go accord ing to plan.
 They said that on the Kiev front, east of zhitomir, "all Soviet military resistance was broken when two battalions broke into the last rem- 1ants of the Stalin line and follow ing regiments rolled up field fortifl- cations from the flank"
 They said the artillery laid down a barrage and ''break through" en- gineers attacked the 'last" Russian pill boxes and machine gun. nests with flame tl1rowers and high ex- plosives. The crews of the pill boxes were killed, they explained in all- nouncing the capture of the 280 pris- oners. They said numerous auto- matic weapons also were taken.
 Describing the situation on the southern end of the front, inform ants said Germans, Runnanians and Hungarians were "haltlessly pursu- ing Soviet forces through villages and cities which the bolshevlsts had set afire during their precipitate retreat"
 Numerous fallen bolshevists lit- ter the road of advance" an author ized description said. 'Tike mile stones, destroyed and burned out wrecks of Soviet tanks lie in the grain field or knee deep in clay. The bolshevists are forced to leave behind inestimable quantities of equipment of all sorts. A single Ger man regiment captured total of 18O trucks, g guns and hundreds of rifles and machine guns. The num- Der of fallen and prisoners and of destroyed tanks can not yet be fin- ally estimated"
 Informants said also that Ger man bombing planes hit three times and wrecked a 2,S00-foot railroad bridge on "the last trunk line" run- ming eastward from the southern Ukraine. The Russians were urgently evacuating their men across this bridge when 1t was wrecked, in- formants said, SO that "thousands" of Russians were trapped.

 It was indicated that not only were the Russian troops holding the Germans back but that they were driving into the German infantry lines in strong and successful coun- ter-attackS.
 Division Wiped Out
 The communique asserted that the 5th German infantry division was entirely wiped out on the Smolensk stretch of the front as soon as it went into action.
 GA German infantry division num- bers about 15,O00 men.) As regards German claims of ad- vanceS in individual sectors, it was emphasized that the Russian high command was concerned with the larger situation. and especially in preserving it's resources in men and machines, and in keeping It's com- munications intact in order that its forces might close in behind advance tank spearheads and fight frontal battles with the main bodies of the German armies.
 According to information avail able here, Russia's immense human reserves have not even been tapped. It is indicated that the men so far engaged in fighting the Germans are men who were in the army when the war started. and that Teservists have not even been called to the cole ors.

GERMANY WARNS RUSSIA ABOUT GAS

Berlin, July 25.--(Up)-Germ warned today that should the Rus- sians use gas in the eastern front make appropriate answer"
 A statement issued through the official German news agency DINE said the Russians had claimed cap- ttlre of German instructions for use of gas and 1t warned against using the claim as reason for inaugural. ing gas warfare.
 "The Soviets claim in recent light ing to have captured German in. structiong for gas warfare from which they are attempting to make proof that Germany now wants to make use of gas warfare" the state- meft said.

thing out. Of Washington tomorrow on the situation.
 But there no longer were BeriouH doubts that he would act soon to freeze Japan's credits in this coun- try-a move which almost certainly will bring similar retaliatory action from the Japanese government.
 It appeared obvious that Mr. Roosevelt was determined to feel his way cautiously in developing measures to counter the Japansee expansi0:1. Although the freeze or- der was deemed certain, that order may be only the first of several counter moves in the immediate future.
 What does the Japanese move mean to the neutrality of the United States?" MT. Roosevelt was asked.
 Difficult to Answer
 That question, the President re- piled, is difficult to answer. There are so many things that have not happened in the Far Eastern situa- tion, that the answer at the mo- ment is too "iffey" to merit reply. If there were one single line of Japanese policy that this country could be assured of being followed, he said, then definite American moves might be predicted.
 But, he said with emphasis, we cannot now say what tomorrow will bring. We don't know what to- days move will be, much less the move of tomorrow and that of the day after.
 The President refused to ampiify his statement of yesterday in which he admitted that Japan has been permitted to procure oil in the United States to lubricate her war machines simply as an "appease- ment measure to prevent the war from spreading into the South Pa- cific. He said he could not dis cuss that policy, and refused to in- dicate whether the counter moves would include an order cutting off Japan from American oil supplies
 Turning to the question of public realization of the perils of the situ- ation, MT. Roosevelt said he had re- ceived reports yesterday from a newspaperman, two magazine writ CTS, a cabinet member and others who recently had been through the country and had examined public opinion.
 All agreed, he said, that there had been a tremendous change in pub- lie opinion since last March or April People are far more cognizant of the inherent peril today then they were a few months ago, he said.
 Not Yet Aware
 But, he continued, they are not yet sufficiently aware of the dan- gers they face.
 Public awareness, he said, may be Sharpened by the work of such groups as the voluntary participa- Civilian Defense with whom he dis cusSed the Japanese situation yes- terday. The members of that com- mittee. representing nine corps areas of the United States, he said, will come in contact with literally hun- dreds of subcommittee, and thus can reflectt he viewpoint which he outlined yesterday in his informal speech on Japanese. appeasement measures.
 But he cautioned against trying to read too much into his words of yesterday. In that brief address, he significantly had used only the past tense in referring to this countrys policy of permitting Japan to pro- cure oil supplies in this country. He used the past tense, he said, merely because he was describing what had happened up to the mos ment when he began that speech,

originating with Wheeler had been sent to soldiers, inviting them to write to the President and Con- gressmen urging them to keep the country out of the European war. :" Stimson charged that such activities struck at the nations defense by injuring army discipline and train- ing in a time of great national peril. On those grounds, he said he felt that Wheeler's activities bordered on treason.
 The president said he had not read the Stimson statement before 1t was read to the press yesterday by the secretary of war. But he made no move to modify or temper it, obviously choosing to allow 1t to stand in the record with his tacit approval

Acts on Japan

Hyde Park, N. Y., July 25-(UP)- President Roosevelt said today that Japan's move into French Indo- China is awakening America to full realization of the deadly peril of the international situation. He indicated that Americas first move to encounter Japan's imperial ex- pansion in the Far East may be expected tomorrow.
 It appeared almost certain that the initial move would be an eXecu- tive order, freezing Japanese credits in this country. The order probably will be announced in Washington.
 The events in the Far East, where Japan's armed forces are moving into Indo-China and potentially menacing the Straits Settlements and British supply lines. are bring ing to America a greater awareness on the part of the public to the danger of the whole world situa- tion, the president said.
 Leaning back in an easy chair in his library, MT. Roosevelt said that public opinion is swinging rapidly to more complete realization of the dangers in which this country involved. But as yet, he added, the public is not sufficiently cognizant of the perils of the situation.
 Country Not Aware
 The country as q whole. he said Is no more completely aware of the dangers inherent in the Far Eastern situation than it is of the dangers of the war in the west--Bgitain's death struggle with Naz Germany and Russlas stand against the Nazl blitx machine.
 Mir. Roosevelt would not discuss the nature of the move expected fol tomorrow but he did say definitely that no believes there will be some.

Washington, July 25-(UP)-Sen- ator Burton K. Wheeler, D., Mont, n-interventionis leader, said to- day President Roosevelt feels that anyone who opposes American entry into tls% war goes "too far"
 Wheeler made his statement when informed that the president had criticized his opposition to admin istration foreign policy as being on dangerous ground" and going "too far"
 Of course, the president feels that anybody who opposes our in- volvement in war goes too far, ' Wheeler said. Some time ago, l challenged him to come to Con- gross and ask for a declaration of war. said that If Congress granted his request, would go along with the war effort but that otherwise expected national unity for peace.
 "They know that the people are not with them and the president ought to know that those postal cards had nothing to do with pend- ing legislation concerning extension of the draft but were only sent out to ask people to request him to keep the promise he made that he would not take this nation into the war.

 Occupation by Japan of naval and airplane bases in Indo-China is how imminent, it was asserted.
 A spokesman said that it was un- desirable to amplify the statement khat the defenses in the Malay peninsula had been strengthened because these measures also affected other governments.

Move Sanctions Trade
Without Interference
From German Cartel
BY the Associated Press.


The Justice Department an
nounced actions in Federal Court at
Newark, N. j., today which officials
said would open Latin America to
the United States chemical industry
without interference from a Ger
man cartel arrangement.
Two consent DEGREES were filed,
the department said, which would
accomplish this and also dry up one
source of financing for Nazi agents.
The DEGREES were entered into by
four corporations and five of their
officials, all of whom also pleaded
nolo contendere to three informa-
tions alleging Sherman antitrust
law violations. They were fined an
aggregate of $4,000. The court
suspended $4,000 of the fines.
These were named as defendants:
Scherlng Corp. of Bloomfield. N
j., its president, Julius Weltzien, and
its vice president, Gregory Stragnell;
Ciba Pharmaceutical Products, Inc.
New Jersey, and Vincent A. Burgher
ltS principal OFFICER, ROChe-Organ-
on, Inc, of New Jersey, and Elmer H
Bobst, its president; and Rare
Chemicals, Inc, of Flemington, N.
j. and E. T. Fritzching, its presi-
dent.
Involved in the case, which was
developed by the departments anti
trust division, are hormones, de-
scrlbed as a chemical substance
particularly valuable in the treat
ment of soldiers and civilians in
wartime"
HormoneS are useful in counter
acting shock from wounds, burns.

The result is that on tremendously

three very large nations-Germany,
Japan, Italy-the differences on
both sides, in this country of ours,
are relatively small. We have been
making very definite progress on the
whole subject of labor and manage

make progress. I believe every SEN

years ago we were rather far behind
in this country; that we needed a
greater spread in the earnings Of
the country. that We needed better
working conditions England was
ahead of us. The Scandinavian
countries were ahead of us. We
have made lot of progress, and at
the end of this very great world war,
because it truly is that, we are not
going to stop progress. Our kind
