Russian Transports
Reported Supplying
Odessa by Night
Hundreds of Rumuniun
Batteries Declared
Pouring Shells on City
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BERLIN, Sept. 22.-Russian
transports bearing reinforcements
and supplies are slipping into be-
sieged Odessa night after night,
German War Reporter Karl Sed-
latzek reported yesterday in a dis
patch describing nard fighting for
the Soviet Black Sea port.
Hundreds of Rumanian batteries
around Odessa pour shells into the
city day and night and the rumbling
of their fire can be heard for miles,
he wrote.
Reds Sacrificing Heavily.
During every attack by Ruma-
nian troops-and how very many
attacks already have been made
the attackers see the same picture
of destruction wrought by the Ru-
manian artillery fire" the reporter
went on.
When Rumanian battalions ad-
vance in open ranks. according to
the French manner, they run into
mad fire from innumerable machine
guns so that often only a strip of
land torn by artillery can be
reached"
The Russians by their tactics, Sed-
latzek said. are sacrificing great
numbers of men
Each fallen Red Army man is re-
placed with new soldier, he re-
lated, so the Rumanians actually
must snatch each inch of ground
from the Soviets around Odessa in
weeks-long fighting"
Defenses Built in Broad Bend.
The reporter said the Russian
defenses were built in broad bend
around the city and that only since
the beginning of September have
the Rumanian guns been able to
fire on military positions in the city.
The closer the Rumanians work
their way toward the city-and &C
tually they are winning ground
steadily-the greater are the masses
of men the Soviets are showing into
the Odessa defense system" he as
serted.
War prisoners say each night
transports with troops from Black
Sea ports arrive in Odessa and fur
ther that all male inhabitants of
the city, with the exception of chill
dren and the aged, are put into
uniform and trained in 14-day

The demand was made by Joseph

miral Emory S. Land, commission
chairman.
\ Mr.. Ryan said the situation
created by the commissions requisi-
tioning of three strike-bound Alcoa
Line freighters had placed the long

ton"

Twenty Ships Now Struck.
John Hawk. union secretary, pre-
viously had announced the strike
threat and said that four more new
ly-arrived Alcoa ships were strike
bound. bringing the total to 20.
These were listed by the union as
the Pathfinder in Brooklyn, the Voy.

recently chartered to the Grace Line,
was en- route from South American
port to the Canal Zone and was
not affected.
The strike against the Alcoa ships
was called in a dispute over in
creased war bonuses and bonuses on
ships in West Indies waters.
Mr.. Hawk said the union "in all
probability would call a general
strike of S. I. U. crews if the Mari
time Commission manned and oper-
ated any more struck vessels.
Capt. Granville Conway of the
Maritime Commission said, with
reference to struck ships, that
these ships are not going to lie

that"

Alcoa Scout, was being loaded at
Weehawken, N. j., and was ex-
pected to sail Wednesday, Capt.
Conway said.
He said the Government stands
to make profit by the operation
OF the three ships, inasmuch as
the Alcoa line, owners, will re-
ceive only a supervisory fee paid
normally to a shipping agent, and
whatever profit there might be
would go to the Government.

Two Italian Liners Sunk
By Subs, British Claim

LONDON, Sept. % P.-Britisll
submarines, attacking a Mediterra-
mean convoy carrying Axis rein
forcements to Libya, were reported
by the Admiralty today to have
sunk two Italian liners and dam
aged third-possibly all of the
24,649-ton Vulcania class.
The attack was said to have been
made in mid-Mediterranean last
Thursday as the submarines smash
ed at the convoy, described by the
British as fast and heavily guarded

plies, it added, was carried against

and therefore may be considered
lost"
The tiny assault boats, each with
a torpedo in its nose, are manned
by only one or two men who know
that death is the likely price they
must pay to get close enough to
their targets to fire with telling
aim. About the best they dare hope
for is to be captured.
According to authoritative sources,
mas-boats, the smallest classical
ton in the Italian Navy, carry the
tiny projectile-like craft to within
few miles of their targets, then
set them loose to strike
They are believed to have such
quiet propulsion they can slip deep
into harbors before being detected
and such shallow draft they can
cross over submerged barriers
Those that made the stab into
Malta's harbor just before dawn
last July 26 never came back. The
men simply were listed as missing
but eight explosions were heard and,
the Italians said, presumably eight
ships were hit.
Text of Communique.
The bold foray into Gibraltar
harbor was recounted simply in this
brief communique:
Assault units of the Italian
marine entered the bay and inner
port Of Gibraltar port, sank one
tanker of 10000 tons, another of
800 tons and one steamer of 5000
tons, loaded with munitions. and
seriously hit steamer of $4,000 tons
loaded with war material.
This steamer hit against rocks,
where it was stranded and therefore
can be considered lost"
The Italian high command earlier
reported Axis aerial attacks on
British troops at Tobruk and in the
Giarabub Oasis in Libya and ac-
MoWledged that British air raiders
had again bombed Bengasi.
In East Africa, said the commun-
ique, Italian artillery effectively
bombarded British positions in the
Uolcheflt area Of Ethiopia.
In authoritative London quarters
the Italian claim was met with
absolutely no comment"
The Italian attackers probably
were the fast, torpedo-f firing motor
boats in whose development Italy
has pioneered. They are capable
of an elusive getaway.
