shown of animals in the zoo

Finland Prepares
For Worst By
Evacuating Capital
UNDATED, Oct. 12 (/Pi — U.S.
diplomatic action apprehensive
for northern Europe discussed a
possibility as Finland waited to
hear what expanding Russia want
ed of her. Official Washington
quarters talked of such a course
in the event of a crisis between
Finland and Russia.
The Finnish delegation in Mos
cow held vital political and ec
onomic talks. If an outright Bal
tiv conflict threatens, one pos
sibility was considered in Wash
ington that Presidenit Roosevelt
might issue a peace appeal to
Moscow and Helinski as he did
; to tho German and Polish heads
of slate last August.
Norway, Sweden and Denmark
are understood to be ready to
make a move to preserve peace
in the north.
Finland is preparing for the |
worst by moving her civilians!
from her capital and perfecting
air raid defenses. The Finnish
press expressed determination to
preserve the nation’s neutrality.
Anxiety stemmed from the Rus
sian expansion of the past two
weeks which made Estonia and
Latvia and Lithuania virtual So
viet protectorates.
The chief of the Finnish dele
gation to Moscow, Dr. John Pans
ikivi is expected to return to
Helsinski after he learns what
the Kremlin has in mind.
Neutral Scandinavian coun
tries are said to be urging France
and Britain to make peace with
Germany so the Reich could help
check the Russian expansion in
Baltic.
VATICAN CITY, Oct. 13 UP)—

PARIS. Oct. 12 UF\ —German
patrols battered French outposts
from the Moselle to the Rhine
continuing a series of thrusts
which are reported to have cost
the Nazis “hundreds” of casual
ties in the past three days with,
out gaining an “inch of ground.”
French advices which told of
“very hot” action on one un- i
identified sector during the night
identified sector during the night
pulsed despite heavy preparation
by German artillery. At no point
had the Germans been success
ful in attempts to take prisoners.
According to these reports the,
French are entrenched in posi
tions from which they raked the,
advancing Germans with mach- -
ine gun fire. They described their
own loses as “slight.”
