Nazi Military Moves
On Turkish Border
Cited by Travellers
Troops in Bulgaria
Headed for Frontier,
Guided by New Signs
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK. Dec. 4.-Travelers
who left Sofia recently reported to-
day. according to European advices
to the Associated Press. that Ger
many is taking military measures
along the Bulgarian Turkish from
tier, including erection of highway
signs in German pointing the way
to SVilengrad, on Bulgarias Turkish
frontier.
What German troops were seen in
Bulgaria apparently were headed in
the direction of the Turkish frontier,
the travellers reported. Svilengrad
is the last station on the railway
from Bulgaria before it enters Tur-
kew.
Highway signs formerly showing
directions to points in Western Bull
garia or Yugoslav centers have been
removed. it was said.
The general impression of the OBJ
servers was that while possibly the
Germans were anticipating Ameri-
can leaSe-lend aid to Turkey the
comparatively minor German ma
neuvering was intended to back up
Germany in the diplomatic contest
for Turkeys favor
The Bulgarian Army has concen-
trated its major forces in the Tur-
kish sector since the days before
Bulgaria joined the Axis European
observers from time to time have
contended that if Bulgaria entered
the Axis war it would be only a war
against Turkey, her traditional foe.

said anything about it to me, al
though I saw that she was trying
to keep out of his reach as much as
possible" Cox said.
They got out of the car to stretch,
Cox said, and while I was out of

his car and money and beat it away
from there"
After they got back in the car, Cox
said, Ida May joined him and the
other girl in the back seat leaving
Browning alone behind the wheel.

j, :. Must Enter War
While Britain Still Is
Firm, Canadian Says
Nuzis Can't Be Crushed
Until TotuI Effort Is
Made, Officer Warns

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. Dec. A Canadian
officer and legislator said today the
United States must enter TIE war
while Britain is still strong if the
world is to be freed from the threat
OF Nazi domination
1t. Col. George A. Drew, Ontario
Conservative leader, said in an ad-
dress before a luncheon meeting of
the Canadian Club of New York:
Il do not believe that we in Can
ada or you in the United States are
helping Britain nearly as much as
they are helping us"
AS a Canadian. I can say this"
he continued I'VE in Canada must
do a great deal more than We are
doing now. We, too, find it difficult
to overcome an unreal feeling of Sc
curity - there is no tagging spirit
in Britain. There is no word of
complaint. Whatever comes, they
will fight on till they can fight no
more. But there is limit TO hu-
man endurance. = ."
Col. Drew. who served two years
in France during the World War
before being wounded. said that
after Dunkerque. President Roosn-
velt's decision to Send from the
United States stores of old artil-
lery, machine guns and rifles may
we'll have been the decisive factor.
but now the situa ton is very diff
ferent"
The very fact that there has been
such clamor for an offensive
against the Germans in Western
Europe is the best possible evidence
that the situation in Britain is very
different now to what it was year
ago, said Col. Drew ''' Now it can
be said that subject always to the
possibility of some new and terrible
surprise, the British Isles are rea-
sonably secure from invasion"
Even with the splendid resist
ance of Russia" he continued. even
with the help Of the Dominions and
Of Free France. even with the aid of
munitions and food from the United
States. the German land forces in
Europe will not be crushed until all
the demOcracies recognize that the
Nazi menace can only be DESTROYED
by the total effort of all free peo-
pie"
