With Hitler’s military occupation of strategically placed Ru-

a vastly important success.
He has by a series of crafty political schemes and threats—

Car Victim Improves—Miss Nan
By WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS
WASHINGTON. Oct. 12.-Diplomats here who are still able to
maintain fairly close touch with their capitals are daily more
convinced that the war is now definitely shifting from its blitz-
krieg phase to a new and final one of attrition.
This, they say, will almost certainly come about even if the
Nazis still Invade England. If such an invasion succeeds, the
! British government will probably move to Canada, and the Royal
navy will take its stance with the American fleet and continue a
sort of long-range war from the western hemisphere.

Soviet-Nazi War Possible
This doesn't necessarily mean that
Russia is preparing to join the Turks'
and oppose the axis by arms at this
precise Juncture. It does mean, to
my mind, that the Soviet is bitterly
antagonistic to these Nazi moves in
the Balkans and that there certainly
is a possibility of war between Rus-
sia and Germany.
