Philippines Sensation

Special to the "Telegraph"

MANILA, Oct. 17 (UP).—It is understood that the 'United States Army officials were investigating the possible widespread involvement of others including a well-known Japanese prior to the arrest of Captain Rufo C. Romero of the Philippine Scouts,

However, the seriousness of Romero's offence necessitated his arrest before the completion of the investigation which is being continued by Army officials.

YOU DIE TO-NIGHT

It is understood that the arrest,****** was made before any Army docu- ments could be disclosed to any 'unauthorized person." The Army officials are maintaining the utmost secrecy because of passible interna. tional factors.

Filipinos Arrested

Filipino civilions also arrested were Mariano Cabrera and Ignaelo Agbay. It is understood that Army officials are investigating others who may possibly be involved, but thus only Filipinos have been arrested,

far

The morning newspaper "Mabu- hay" quoting unimpeachable sources said the Captain Romero admitted he intended to sell plans and photo- graphs of United States Army fort!- fentions, including Corrogider Island which guards the entrance of Manila Bay, to "eertain very prominent foreigners."

AMERICANS

TO HELP Free France

The newspaper declares that its information is based on special information and not on mere supposition. It asserts that Herr von Ribbentrop is dismayed because the situation in the East Indies has not worsened recently.

Ribbentrop has been striving to whip up Japanese feeling against the Dutch by disseminating the assertion that Holland, under British influence, would be forced to lease naval bases in the Dutch Indies to America. The necessity for this, however, does not arise as the Dutch Indies are not being attacked seriously threatened.

In certain military circles in Tokyo, enthusiasm may be rouged by Nazi Press statements that Japan desires to attack the East Indies but it does not arouse the enthusiasm of the Japanese Government,

"Messages Stopped

"We have proof that telegrams from authoritative sources in Tokyo, reflecting the Japanese Government's policy, are withheld by the Nazl Press. Japan's attitude of restraint is not to Berlin's taste and moreover the Washington reaction to Ribben- trop's Berlin-Rome Tokyo move has strengthened the hands of the more

responsible Japanese statesmen,” заул the paper,
