The Key W THE SOU KEY WEST, FLORIDA, T Chamberlain Firm Agai Any Peace With Germany: Mussolini Withholds Offer Sand Key Will B& Seen Bob Riley's Carton (My Associated LONDON, Oct. 3. — Neville Chamberlain told Parliament today that no “veiled threats” of Germany in claiming that Russia would side with it in @ major war would deter the English from continuing their war to end Hitlerism. “How can we believe the gov- ernment which . breaks liament. Speaking usually in a monotone, Chamberlain’s voice was very strident in addressing the meeting. No unfriendliness to Russia was broached at the meeting of Parliament, however. Count Ciano has delivered the peace message of Hitler to Benito Mussolini in Italy, but it is not believed that Mussolini will de- liver the proposal until. after Hitler addressed the Reichstag and makes the proposal. On the western front, Nazis report that all of the German planes have been sent to the western front from the Polish fields. At dawn today there was @ low-lying fog on the front be- tween the Siegfried Maginot lines.- Roporters saw -patrels of French and German troops sally out to make raids. The armies are trying to gain control of the heights between the two lines of fortifications. Several machine nests were wiped out by patrol; parties from both sides. The reporters told of one French patrol returning with a captured German, machine’ gun and two German helmets pierced , with bullets and bloody inside. Hundreds of thousands of gnines were blown up today by: French troops fighting in the forests of the section. First hasty | advances of the French resulted in the loss of many lives, from soldiers moving against thin, al- most invisible wires strung be- tween trees which set off the mines. By following a line of cinders set down by the Nazis the French found the paths through the mine areas. The French claim to have cap- tured 103 square miles of Ger- man territory. Meanwhile a Turkish delega- tion at Moscow is delayed in its work of keeping peace between Turkey and Russia pending the arrival of a group from England. Another Turkish delegation will come here today to make arms proposal to England. Russia has concluded non-ag- gression pacts with Latvia and Lithuania. KENTUCKY DEAD i Press) WASHINGTO! Oct. of the foremost advocates of re peal of the embargo act died to- day as it appeared certain that re- pealists will have a 2-1 vote over isolationists. The senator was Logan from Kentucky. Six senators have switched to non-repeal of the Embargo Act following Senator Borah’s able exposition of the facts at the Sen- ate meeting yesterday. The Sen- ate adjourned at noon today i respect to Logan’s demise. Isolationists are still fighting to‘ compromise in the embargo ques- tion. They are advocating (1) cash and carry or (2) outright re- peal of the embargo. To All Members ELECTION TONIGHT Have You Voted? Try To Attend—7:30 P. M.
