 Fight To The Death
 Military reports said that the Rus sian command, dethermined on Q fight to the death for Moscow, had completed plans for 6 house to house defense If necessary and had as- sembled explosives an dincendiary material to blow up or set afire everything in the capital which might be of use to the Germans.
 They said every house in Moscow was being fortified and that dyna- mite, gasoline, straw and matches already had been issued to special destruction squads in order that the city might be destroyed if its eva cuatlon became necessary.
 Authorized reports asserted that German tank and infantry shock units had broken Russian resist ance on e wide front" in one sector of the Moscow battle area and 1t was hinted that the Germans would attempt to take all territory west of the Donets river in their present drive in the south.
 An official news agency dispatch said that in the sector where Rus sian resistance was broken" the Germans captured numerous field Qualifications despite fierce resis- tance and captured 5000 prisoners 87 field guns and 10 tanks.
 Tn another Moscow front sector, the official agency asserted, Ger man infantrymen stormed Q Rus sian fortified position, occupied eight bridges which Russian engi- neers were just about to blow up, and held their new line against counter. attacks.
 Germans Make Captures
 An of1lcial news agency dispatch said that on the Moscow front, i1 the sector where Russian resistance was broken" the Germans cap. tured a number of Russian field for- tifications despite fierce resistance and captured 4,000 prisoners, % field guns and 10 tanks.
 The Russians were reported Inak- ing desperate counter.attackS both on the Moscow front and in tho south.
 It was asserted that in one sec- tor of the Moscow front the Ger. mans had destroyed or captured S4 tanks, including several of 50 tons each, in repelling such an attack.
 German airplanes continued ac- tive all along the front and yester- days high command communique asserted direct hits had been scored in an attack Saturday night on the Kremlin, Premier Josef Stalln's headquarters in Moscow.
 Discussing the Moscow front, in- formants said that weather might be slowing the German advance. Nevertheless, they said, army pho- tographers had taken photographs with powerful cameras revealing damage done to the Kremlin in air raids" They implied but did not say the photographs wefe taken from the ground, and thus that the Germans were close to Moscow.
 As regards the south, 1t was in- timated that the high command inc tended to continue It's drive until it had taken the territory west of the Donets river, which flows into the Don 70 miles northeast of Rostov.
 This would mean the capture, in the present drive, of such important industrial centers aS Voroshilovgrad, Kamensk, shakhty and Novocher- kassk.

Seven Members Of Family
Die in Crossing Crash
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
HAMMOND, Ind, Sept. 13.-Seven
members of a Schererville family
were killed today when a streamlined
Grand Trunk passenger train struck
their automobile at Highland, three
miles south Of here.
Victims were Andrew Schafer, SO;
his 35-year-old wife, Anne: their
four children, Abby, 13; Buster, II;
Harold, Is, and Marvin, 6. and C.
M. Haynes, 80, of Belleview, Ill,
Mrs. Schafer's father.
The 10-car train, from Chicago
to Montreal. struck the automobile,
driven by Schafer, and carried the
wreckage a mile down the tracks.
Bodies of three of the victims re-
manned in the demolished automo-
bile while the others were strewn
along the right-of-way.
Mr.. Schafer was employed in an
aircraft products plant at East Chi
cago.
The crossing was guarded by
wooden cross arms. but investigating
officers said Mr.. Schafer apparent
ly failed to see the fast moving
train and drove into its path.

to see what they can do against
each other.
While speed probably will be at
the command of Gen. Lear, the ma
ture of the terrain will function to
offset his rumored superiority in
tanks. They will be forced to take
to the roads in most places. The
Sd Army, with a preponderance of
foot soldiers, most likely will pene-
trate the swamps and boggy ground
in attempted surprise attacks.
Face Many Hardships.
Realism will be carried to the
point Of exhaustion for all the COM
peting forces, especially the infantry
Rain and blazing hot Southern sun
will bear down alternately on them.
The usual rest periods after two or
three days of hard maneuvering are
to be eliminated. The foot soldier,
bearing the brunt of the action as
the little-publicized infantry always
does, must catch his grub when
and where he can get it. And that
depends almost entirely on the eff
cheney of the commissary depart
ment.
The glamour boys" Of the tanks
and air forces, no doubt will find
ample opportunities to bed down
comfortably in the rear of the in
fantry. But when the armies are
on the go" there will be plenty of
roughing it, even for the generals
who must keep close on the heels
of the advancing troops. Modern
tactics have taken from them much
of the easier life that once was
possible far back of the battle lines.
When the fighting is concluded
the scene of the next free maneuvers
will shift to the Carolinas. There
in November the 1St and 4th Armies
will duplicate on a somewhat small
er scale what is about to take place
starting tomorrow.

and dive bombers, will represent
the air force combat command in
serving the infantry and in form
ing plane-and-tank assault teams.
One force under the command of
Maj. Gen. Millard F. Harmon will
be assigned to the I'd Army. The
other, led by Maj. Gen. H. A. Darque,
will be at the beck and call of the
Sd Army. Included in these avia-
ton forces are the fastest fighters
and medium bomberS in the world,
equipped with .50-caliber machine
guns and .37-mm. cannon capable
of piercing any aircraft armor.
500 ParachutistS to Attack.
The supporting armored forces
will consist of two complete divi-
sions. the 1st and I'd, elements of
which performed in spectacular
fashion in recent weeks. Each is
equipped with approximately 400
light and medium tanks, supporting
infantry and artillery. A force of
500 parachutists of the 502d Bat
talon from Fort Benning, Ga, who
have just completed 10 weeks of
training, will drop from the sky in
surprise attacks during some phase
of the maneuvers. They will be in
full fighting regalia.
Realism is to be the keynote OF
these war games and that applies
in a limited degree to battle noises.
Blank rife and machine-gun am
munition will be fired-not so much
to make a noise, however, as to
enable the opposing forces to de-
tect the location of troop units from
the sound. Blank ammunition is
too precious to use with the artil-
lery pieces.
Motor trucks bearing sound
equipment will be stationed at stra-
tegic points to blast away at un-
suspecting troops with reproduc-
tion of terrifying battle noises. They
are made to the tune of siren
bombs, the crash of bursting
"heavies" and the roaring approach
of tanks.

Economic rents have been estab-
lished, actual rents paid by ten
ants are then graded down in ac-
cordance with tenants incomes to
the extent made possible by the
subsidy. AS tenants income in
creases, his rent is raised and the
subsidy thereby reduced. A reserve
fund provides for the possibility
that rent decreases may exceed rent
increases. This system of graded
rents has made it practicable to
reach families with incomes lower
than is practicable by any other
method yet tried.

cent Louisiana maneuvers report
expectedly to these terrifying sound
effects were taken screaming and
jittery from the lines.
Gen. George c. Marshall, Army
chief of staff, is utilizing the vast
Sabine River area and the free
maneuvering to give new and as
yet untried war machine its first
real test under simulated battle
conditions. A force of 1900 trained
umpires will keep the score card
and check on the estimated casual
ties
Also Will Test Machines.
Aside from demonstrating whether
the two armies can click or cor
rect glaring mistakes in previous
operations. the maneuvers are of
prime importance for another rea-
son. They will serve to test the
durability of the Army's motorized
and mechanical equipment under
the toughest possible conditions.
British observers in particular will
be on hand to see how American
made tanks and trucks can stand
the gaff.
The two field generals and indi-
vidual corps, division and regimen
tai commanders will be on the spot.
Secretary Stimson emphasized last
week that the object is to give the
Army the best leadership possible.
On the whole. the noncoms and
soldiers have shown up to better
| advantage in war games to date
than the officers, as more than one
commanding general has attested.
1t is'no misstatement Of fact to
say that the forthcoming two weeks
OF war games. no doubt, will make
and break some division or regi-
mental officers.
BY comparison, the maneuvering
area is three times the size of the
State of Maryland. which was in
vaded in 1863 to reach a climax on
the hills of Gettysburg, Pa, in the
greatest battle on American soil. In
nature of terrain. it resembles more
the ground over which the Russian
and NaZi Armies are now fighting
than it does the rolling landscape
of Maryland.
The treacherous underfooting In
East Texas and North Central
Louisiana offers formidable obstacles
to both foot soldiers and mechanical
forces. Rivers and bayouS cut the
whole area. Even the wide stretches
of scrub pine land are dotted with
swamps, but fairly good network
of roads is available. The bridge
building and pontoon-laying en-
gineers face severe hardships.
Strict Secrecy Maintained.
Great secrecy is maintained at
general headquarters, here, over the
assignment of the armored forces,
especially. Gen. Lear of the I'd Army
commands the smaller force-six
divisions, consisting of one cavalry
division, two new streamlined tri-
angular divisions and three of the
old square divisions.
Gen. Kruger. on the other hand,
will lead 10 divisions into battle.
One is cavalry. another is a triangu-
lar and the rest square divisions
The Sd Army, however, has some
newly trained anti-tank battalions
of larger than average size. They
were formed and trained especially
for these free maneuverS to DEM
onstrate their effectivnss in halting
blitzkrieg assault. Their perform
ance will bear close watching.
Because the Sd Army is smaller
1t is reasonable to assume that it
will be given superiority in both
combat planes and tanks to make
up in speed and striking power
what it lacks in size. The new
plane -and-tank teams will be under
observation of keen military OBJ
servers who are particularly anxious
