The gigantic German offensive was credited in official Nazi statements state-ments with having ended Britain's dream of war on two fronts, with trapping at least 1,000,000 Russian troops on the central sector and with breaking up or encircling Soviet forces from the Valdai Hills northwest of the capital to the Ukraine shores of the sea of Azov. This operation which the Germans Ger-mans described as entirely successful suc-cessful was hailed by Hitler as designed to annihilatingly" strike both Russia and "Great Britain, to "remove England's last ally on the continent," .(Thus "the way might be opened for the final bid for victory over Britain, but in his proclamation issued at the start of the offensive on October 2 the fuehrer indicated that any such operations would be delayed until next year.) German victories so far, according ac-cording to an official statement, were acleved at a cost of less than five per cent of the German Ger-man casualties in the world war. Statistics show a German loss of 7,142,000 killed, wounded, captured cap-tured and missing in the world war. Five per cent of this figure would be approximately 357,100 casualties so far suffered by the Germans. (German controlled radio stations sta-tions broadcast completely unconfirmed uncon-firmed reports that the Soviet government had left or was leav-. leav-. ing Moscow for a temporary capital farther east, ipossibly Stalingrad. Stal-ingrad. These rumors said that U. S. Ambassador Laurence Steinhardt already had left but that the civil population of Moscow Mos-cow was remaining for a last ditch battle.) In regard to casualties, it was recalled that recently the high command put German losses in Russia at 402,000 of higher than indicated by the five per cent figure in the official statement, which was made by Otto Dietrich, the press chief. "Russia as a military power is finished," Dietrich said. "There is ho doubt that the whole of the Russian front has been smashed and that the last Russian army groups are being wiped out."

His ultimate destination destina-tion was believed to be Cuba. First intimation of anything unusual came last night when American military and naval authorities au-thorities suddenly ordered all army and navy personnel out of Panama and back to their posts in the Canal Zone. Panama was declared out of bounds for all American military forces. It was learned that Edwin .C. Wilson, U. S. ambassador to Panama, was in conference last night with Lieut. Gen. Frank M. Andrews, commander of the Caribbean defense area and that the conferences were resumed this morning. Arias had been in power only a year. He took office Oct. 1 1940 and almost immediately indicated in-dicated sympathy with the axis powers and a strong dislike of the United States. Relations between Panama and the United States were subjected to increasing strain until last spring when Arias appeared to moderate his stand and agreed to allow the construction of American air fields on Panama territory. Only lasjt Monday the Panamanian Panam-anian government at Arias' instigation in-stigation issued an edict that no ship flying the Panamanian flag could be armed for protection against high seas attack and that all such ships carrying defensive armaments would be stricken from Panamanian registry. Among those arrested in the coup d'etat were Col. Nicholas Barletta, mayor of Panama City and a close associate of Arias. Cristobal Rodriguez, Arias secretary, sec-retary, was said to have disappeared. dis-appeared. UCLA GIVES UP FRESHMAN FOOTBALL LOS ANGELES, Oct. 9 U.R U. C. L.

Huge battles continued on the southern (Ukraine) front as the Germans threw in fresh reserves, especially in the direction of Melitopol, on the railroad from the Crimea to Kharkov, according to army dispatches. Despite the German "all out" offensive the Red air fleet has maintained mastery of the air, the Red Star asserted. It reported the Russian air force constantly battering bat-tering enemy air bases and panzer columns and lines of communication. communica-tion. , The luftwaffe, it added, is operating oper-ating in small units of two or three planes, attacking railroad stations or small villages. German attacks with all types of armed forces, including hundreds hun-dreds of parachutists, were reported re-ported on the fircely-contested Vyazma front 130 miles west of Moscow and on the Orel sector, 210 miles south of the capital. The Red army hurled back repeated re-peated German attempts to break through the Vyazma front, according accord-ing to a dispatch to Red Star, which told of. heavy German casualties cas-ualties in an attempt to cross the river "M" and said that at least 200 parachutists had been wiped out. "The German advance in this direction is costing them immense losses," Red Star said. The dispatches admitted some German advances on the Fluid front around Vyazma but said that repeated attacks on Soviet strong points had been repulsed and that German infantry forces attempting to cross the river "M" by pontoon bridge had been smashed. The parachute attack followed in an effort 'to force the river crossing, but it was defeated, Red Star said.

In the north, dispatches asserted, assert-ed, the forces of Marshal Kle-menti Kle-menti Voroshilov have taken the initiative in "many sectors" and fierce battles are in progress with the army and navy inflicting huge casualties on the enemy. A new Russian offensive south of Lake Ilmen repulsed the Germans and put the Red army forces in strong new positions, it was added. AXIS (Continued from Page One) the climatic offensive began. Hitler Hit-ler said the Germans were starting1 start-ing1 the last great decisive battle of this year. This proclamation, issued to the armed forces, saidHT axis was striking at Russia and at Britain with intention of eliminating elim-inating Britain's last ally in Europe and implied that no final operations against England were likely in 1942. German sources did not comment on whether this meant that Hitler would wait until next year to attempt - a death blow at the British in England Eng-land or the Middle East if the Russians callapse. A hint of action in other fields, however, was given at Tokyo where the press renewed denunciations denunci-ations of the United States and a spokesman for the information bureau, in a nation-wide broadcast broad-cast said the war might spread at any moment to other parts of the world. This suggested Japan was watching watch-ing for confirmation of the Germany Ger-many claims of destruction of the Red army to guide Iter next move in the Far East, where preparations prepara-tions have been reported for a blow at either Siberia or the South Pacific islands'.

The president jras specific in asking the pjjwer to arm merchant mer-chant vessels. He was almost equally specific in requesting ab olition of the combat zones to permit ships to go anywhere on the seven seas but he indicated that that matter may be defer red for a short while. "I recommend repeal of Section 6 of the act of Nov. 4, 1939, which prohibits the arming of American flag ships engaged in foreign commerce," he said. "It is an imperative need now to equip American merchant vessels ves-sels with arms. We are faced not with the old type of pirate but with the modern pirates of the sea who travel beneath the surface or on the surface or in the air. destroying defenseless ships without warning and without with-out provision for the safety of the passengers and crews," he said.
