Allies Not Worried

Russia and Germany have reached complete agreement with regard to the elimination of Poland as a separate nation' and the constitution of new Soviet-Naz!` frontlers in the occupled area, as a result of Herr von Ribbentrop's visit to Moscow.

The German version of the meetings, at which the Russlan Dictator, M. Stalin, was present, asserts further that the two countries agree that all efforts should be made to end the war between Germany and the Allies, failing which Russin and * Germany would consult on appropriate measures.

A mutual assistance pact has been signed between Russia and Estonia following several days of anxiety in the latter country when Soviet planes flew over her territory and warships of the Red Fleet lay off the coast.

The Importance of the agreement is the provision of new naval bases for the Sovlet in the Estonian Islands of the Gulf of Finland through which Sovlet ships would pass into the Baltle Sca. Economic terms are also reported to have been made,

Ribbentrop Leaves

German Offensive Awaited

-On The Western Front

London, Sept. 29.

French opinion appears now to be in favour of the idea that the expected German, offensive will first be aimed to recover German territory, especially around Saarbrucken, the loss of which is a severe economic blow.

Military critics endeavouring to estimate Germany's military strength believe that the old Reichswehr provided a good supply of officers and non-commissioned officers for the first 36 'divisions formed when Hitler ordered resumption of conscription, With so large and rapid expansion, the supply of fully trained junior officers and non-commissioned officers is bound to be inadequate.

It is also considered that Germany's deficiency in certain essential materials, which is already visible in some German alr craft, must make itself felt in replacement of arms and equlpi ment necessitated by war wastage.

Holland is reported to be taking every precaution against invasion. The levels of the canals" have been flooded at a moment's notice. Some parts are already flooded. The roads leading to Germany are provided with anil-tank devices and all sign-posts near the border have been removed.—Renter.

Casualties Low

London, Sept. 29. According to the Paris newspaper, Excelsior, fewer lives have been lost during the first week of this war than in the last. The casualties on the battlefield were much smaller than the number caused by transportation.-Reuter Bulletin,
