What Nazis Said
The Soviet government a state- j
ment was in direct contrast to an
assertion by informed Berlin spokes-
men. who declared on Oct. 10 that
powers friendly to the Rome-Ber-
lin Axis had been notified German
troops had arrived in Rumania and
that others were to follow.
Russia's belated disclosure was
all the more surprising in view of
the Kremlin's extreme reticence on
matters concerning Soviet-German
relations. *”
Meanwhile. Nazi daylight raiders
roaring across the English Chan-
nel in waves at 5-minute intervals
attempted to storm London six
times up to early afternoon.
While bombs rainfd down in a
7-hour night assault setting
fires in many sections of the
capital one rescue rrew found 40
to 50 persons still alive in a
basement shelter under a block of
tuts shattered hy bombs Sunday
night and Monday morning t n.-
rounted others were killed.
Metropolitan newspapers carried
these typical headlines:
"London's Worst Terror Raid *
"Fiercest Night Raid of the War."
New Type of Bomb I'sed
Firemen had scarcely brought a
network of fires under control be- .
fore the Germans dropping a new-
type of combination fire-and-ex- 1
plosive bomb renewed the attack in
successive waves.
The intensified daylight assault
waa apparently Adolt Hitler's
answer to a double-barreled night
attack by RAF bombers over Ber-
lin. which underwent two alarms
with a reported toll of one killed
and 1? wounded.
Three Raiders Downed
Nazi authorities said a number of
dwellings and a hospital were dam-
aged In the German capital but
that a furious concentration of
anti-aircraft fire brought down
three RAF raiders in flames "en
route to Berlin' and drove off others
before they could reach the capital.
The Britsh Air Ministry said the
RAF "effectively bombed' several
important military objectives" in !
Beflin and set great fires at the
German-held port of Le Havre on
I me rrench coast
Other Target* Hit
Other targets nT the British
bombing squadrons the Air Minis-
i try said included oil depots at t
Stettin. Bohien Botha. Magrienburg
and Melsburg; the big north Ger-
man shlpoing port of Hamburg and
railway lines and industrial areas
ui the Reichland.
Early Tuesday afternoon British
lons-range guns posted on the
Dover coast opened fire hurtling
shells across the 22-mile-wide Strait
of Dover.
Nasta angrily charged that

cipal target* of RAF raider* In

| The War
BY DEWITT MACKENZIE
There ere time* like tht* present
when Europe * war seem* like a
very one-sided affair with much of
the spectacular intiative and drama
radiating from the studiedly dy-
namic Berlin-Home Axis.
We see it now in the fiery
Balkans with dictators Hitler and
Mussolini plotting the destruction
of the British empire in a story-
book setting of armed might and
intrigue out of the middle ages. It
leaves John Bull very much out of
the lime-light as though he were
sitting back waiting for his en-
emies to decide what they are go-
ing to do with him.
John Bull Is Busy
This is by way of being an illu-
sion however for J. Bull is busy
with a very definite program and
is quite as energetic as h:s foes.
The trouble is tnat what he is do-
ing isn't theatrical—J. Bull isn't a
very theatrical person for that
matter.
When the war started Britain
laid down a very definite line of
strategy which it has followed per-
sistently and upon which it is de-
pending in the .nain for victory. I
have mentioned thiv before but re-
ti _*n to it again because it is one
oi those fundamentals which we
must keep in mind if we are to
gauge the progress of the conflict
accurately—and it is this:
nanu on ninrkiar
England is bark'ng on the
.trangulation of Ge.many in par-
ticular and the Axis in general
by meins of her all-power naval
blockade.
There will be other operations
but they- will be supplemental.
That blockade Is the thing and
Britain is dinging to it with grim
determination.
Did you ever see an English bull-
dog fight? Probably not because
oespite the ferocious appearance of
this bow-legged animal with his
under-shot Jaw he actually is sc
mild of temper that he wont
fight unless attacked. Then he
fastens onto the throat of his en-
emy and never releases his hold
short of death.
Will Hang On
This outstanding characteristic
of the bull-dog Is also a charac-
teristic of his master. England
will never release the. grip of that
great blockade which has shut off
virtually every ton of sea-borne
traffic to the continent of Europe
unless the Axis powers are able to
vhater it by main force. That is
ihe problem of Messrs. Hitler and
Mussolini.
An essential complement of the
blockade is. of course the bombing
of essential Industries supplies and
communications. The blockade cuts
cff the supplies and the bombing
destroys those already accumulated.
There was a dispatch out of
England Monday telling of Royal
Air Force bombers flying blind
through snow and sub-zero weath-
er to reach objective* deep within
the Reich. The Nazis also plastered
London as it has never been
bombed before—but the Bnt.sh
thus far are in position to replace
supplies which have been destroy-
ed. whereas thus is increasingly dif-
ficult for Germany and Italy.
Revolt Against Nazis?
As part of this line of strategy.
Britain hopes to see a. revolt among
the German people against the
Nazi rule I know from investiga-
tion on the ground that even be-
fore the war began the Anglo-
French allies had agents at work
in Germany trying to win the peo-
ple from Hitlerism.
Actually this campaign was start-
ed shortly after Munich The allies
saw- that war was inevitable and
decided as one world-lamous al-
lied statesman told me. that Hitler
must be “crushed.’*
The privation brought about bv
the blockade Is calculated to create
discontent. People the world over
do a lot of thinking with their
bellies. When they get hungry and
especially when their little ones are
ruffering from lack of food they
are likely to take matters into
their own hands.
Food Shortage Problem
There can be small doubt that
the shortage of food in Europe will
create many trying political situa-
tions during the coming winter.
The present Axis act on in the
Ba.kans to the Mediterranean the-
atre as a whole will not alter the
essential British strategy of strang-
ulation. Actually the new move by
Hitler and his partner is likely to
rut two ways—it may bring them
fresh territorial gains and useful
Mipplies. but It also will be burn-
ing up essential military' supplies
which already are under a hard
i train.

REGISTRATIONS
(Continued from Page One.)
‘higher he said County clerk W. F.
Brownfield of Willacy anticipates 1
2.000 registrants with 123 workers
in six precincts. In Starr county
L«uro Garza county clerk said hu
total will run between 2.500 and 1
3.000 eligible men where 110 vol-
unteers will work in six precincts.
Schools Closed
Schools w'lli be closed in all
count es; city and county officials
will close their offices but down-
i town ‘ bus-mess as usual’’ will pre-
( \ ail throughout the Valley.
In Cameron county H. D. Sea-
go county clerk Tuesday organ-
! ized a ‘ flying squadron'* of volun-
! teer car owners to be stationed at
the courthouse Wednesday pre-
pared to rush printed forms sup-
plies or advisory board members to
any p-ecinct in the c nty should
a call for aid be received.
Special assignments to police and
county peace officers were issued
to insure a free flow of traffic in
and about the registration places.
Penalties are provided for any per-
son hindering or obstructing the !
I draft work.
Organization of volunteer staffs
were uniform in Valley counties i
1 except in Hidalgo where the 24
! ch ef registrars were delegates the
1 authority and responsibility of
appointing their own registrars.
Begin at 7 A. M.
All registration places will re-
main open Wednesday night to (
I record all who are present m the
place by 10 p. m. Registrations be-
gin at 7 a. m. Immediately upon
conclusion of the registration work
of collecting cards will begin. In
Cameron county orders have been
issued to all chief registrars to
bring cards to Mr. Seago's office
in the cot rthouse at once upon
the close of the night's work. His
office in the courthouse will re-
ma n open all night. The cards
will then be turned over to draft
boards.
The sam<* procedure will be fol-
lowed la other counties of the
Valles’ and complete registration
figures are expected to be avail-
nb'e by noon on Thursday. 1
Advisory board members one to
each precinct will be on hand dur-
!ng the day to help registrants
should uncertainties arise concern-
ing their eligibility.
Simple Questions
Wcdncsdcy's registration will be
comparatively simple there being
only 12 questions to be answered
together with a description of each
applicant. Each regi>trant is ex-1
pec ted to know his height and
weight accurately so that guess
work by registrars can be reduced
! to a minimum.
When the cards are turned over
to the draft boards thev will be
numbered and later a ••lottery'* will
be held in Washington and reg-
istered men called according to the
numbers chosen. This is the point
at which a more complicated ques-
tionnaire must b** filled out and
rlaims for exemptions filed. Aiding
registered men in answering these j
questions will provide the major
task of th' advisory board whose
services will be free to all reg-
istrants.
