SENATORS FAVOR IN EUROPE'S WAR (continued ivm page one) Senator Thomas (D., Utah), a member of the foreign relations com mittee, said Mr. Roosevelt should consider "most seriously" the appar ent Berlin desire for him to seek peace. (By The Associated Pressi French and German guns boomed along the western front last (Satur day) night in an artillery duel which topped a day of speculation by Europe's diploma on the allies' probable answer to Adolf Hitler's peace formula. Artillery Due! The French general staff In Its ntght communique declared the ar tillery action occurred between the Moselle and Saar rivers, along with patrol activity in the region south of Zwelbruecken. The German communique. Issued earlier, referred to the artillery fight as "only a sporadic barrage of fire." The Nazi gentrals, however, declared local scouting and troop actions of the enemy were repulsed and two French planes were downed. Yesterday's reactions In Berlin and Paris on Hitler's relchstag speech were represented as varying widely. The French and English were said In Paris to be playing a waiting game delaying action on the west ern front until the blockade of Ger many could be made more effective by winter. Paris sources Indicated the allies were confident that If Germany waa forced to go through a wintsr with out wnsatlonal land battles to bol ster her morale the Nazis would be much weaker with tha coming ot spring. Over By Christmas In connection with the blockade, the French reported their navy stopped 30.000 tons of merchandise destined for Oermany during tha first week of October. In Berlin, the Nazi slogan was "out of the Siegfried lln by Christ mas." Adolf Hitler was said to be confi dent hi peace proposals would bear fruit. His leaders declared they saw no reason why the trenches could not be emptied by Christmas If tha powers desiring peace acted Imme diately upon Hitler's fromula. A detailed reply by Prima Minister Chamberlain to Hitler's relchstag speech was expected In the house of commons sometime during the next week, probably Wednesday. Comment In British press and political circles Indicated Hitler might be. answered by a detailed statement of British and French war alms.. describing the kind of Europe the western powers X want.
