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. "
