One Was Attacked; One Sailed Safely r r " i s" f i ' , " s? W, or T ,....,..rrh,r, iiaa,1l. Almost at th same time that a Nazi sub attacked the U.S.S. Greer near Iceland, the safe arrival at Vladivostok was announced of the 8,428-to-n American oil tanker, Associated. (Below) The Associated carrying 85,000 barrels of e gas for use by Soviet aircraft is the second tanker reaching the Siberian port without incident despite some Japanese talk of stopping American ships in a Japanese sea zone. The Greer, undamaged, dropped a depth bomb in a counterattack on the sub. The incident is the first in which an American warship figured in the present war. Showing (at top) is the U.S.S. Roper, sister ship of the Greer. GREER: A Test by Nazis The encounter of the U. S. De-stroyer Greer 200 miles southwest of Iceland with a German submarine turned out to be an .incident of the utmost importance in defining Amer-ica's position in the world war. It was not so much the nature of the battle, but the wording of the German announcements concerning it that increased its significance to Americans. For the Nazis not merely admit-ted that it was a German sub-marine which was involved, they placed the blame squarely on Presi-dent Roosevelt, not only because of the President's general foreign pol-icy, but went beyond this and charged that Mr. Roosevelt had giv-en general orders for the American navy to start shooting. The Germans asserted that the Greer was the aggressor in the fight, had not merely contented itself with ascertaining the position of the submarine, but had begun the shoot-ing, and that the German craft had defended itself without "being in a position to know" the nationality of the U. S. craft. The President took the attitude that the Oreer was on proper U. S. business on the high seas, that he saw no reason to consider a German blockade zone as having any effect JAPAN: Sees Defeat? Arrival of a second tanker-loa- d of oil at Vladivostok without Japanese interference was accompanied both by a stiffening of the British-America- n attitude toward Nippon and a sensational article in Japan News-Wee- k practically predicting a Nazi defeat in this, the third year of the war. No attempt was made to suppress the publication in a paper which often reflects the views of high gov-ernment circles. At the same time a national news-paper poll disclosed that Americans had voted 70 per cent in favor of a curbing of Japan even at the cost of war. Japan's News-Wee- k said:. "The situation ushering in the third year of war is such that although it does not indicate that the Nazis and their plans have been defeat-ed, it does mean that by the end of the third year the finish of the horrible carnage should be within the grasp of the Allies. "However well Hitler may have thought he planned his march to world domination, it is now quite apparent that even he is fallible." Regardless of the official or un-official character of the publication, observers saw in the permission to circulate this article a powerful sign of a milder Japanese viewpoint toward the world situation, and a doubt in thinking circles as to the wisdom of the Axis tie-u- p for Japan, an affinity which the United States and Britain Were doing all in their power to break down. on the freedom of the seas for Amer-ican vessels, and that the Greer, in attempting to "eliminate" a Ger-man submarine after an attack, had acted properly. In many quarters it was believed that the prime purpose of the attack on the Greer had been to create an incident which would test out the strength of the President's foreign policy, and perhaps create a national tempest to have Amer-ican troops withdrawn from Iceland, and the naval vessels ordered to keep out of the eastern parts of the Atlantic. Perhaps, if the Germans had said: "We are sorry, but the torpedoes were launched from a considerable distance, and we had thought the Greer was a British destroyer," the furor over the incident would have died in a day or two. No bones were broken or armor plate dent. But the Germans de-cided instead to charge Mr. Roose-velt with having ordered the Amer-ican ship to attack the and the reaction, as far as could be seen, was quite the reverse 'of what the Germans had planned and hoped for. One congressman said: "I'd believe Roosevelt against Hitler any day in the week." And that about summed up the general public reaction. Most inter-esting was the excitement of certain who immediate-ly, following the encounter, had said that the Greer was attacked by a British submarine in a gigantic plot to get the United States into the war. The acceptance by Germany of the submarine's identity deflated these arguments abruptly. LENINGRAD: Defense of City Despite conflicting reports about the status of the battle for Lenin-grad, it was evident that the defense of the city already had started, and that once again the Russians were surprising the world with the tenacity of their, resistance, and their willingness to make huge sac-rifices for eventual victory. Early in the German invasion of Russia it had been stated that if the Russians were willing to make the necessary sacrifices, and were willing to fight on even though forced into retreat that might cost them Leningrad, Moscow and Kiev, the Germans would find them as tough a nut to crack as the Japanese had found the Chinese. France had the same opportunity, but had failed. Would the Russians really fight. The answer to that question al-ready had been written in the history of 2Vz months of warfare on the eastern front, and the Russian de-fense of their homeland was chal-lenging the admiration of skeptical England and even more skeptical America. The end of September was going to bring the end of favorable blitz weather for the Germans, and most military observers believed the Nazi army was in for a tough winter in Russia. Claims were still conflicting, but the admission by the Germans of upwards of 1,500,000 casualties on their own side spoke volumes for the real character of the Russian de-fense. The Finns were claiming "confu-sion" in Leningrad and the "city in flames," while Moscow reported its defense intact, and counterattacks on the borders of the city succeeding. The German communiques claimed only that her longer-rang- e guns had found the city's industrial plants, but told of severe resistance "by men, women and children." First days of the Russo-Germa- n struggle had even brought in some allied quarters the question of whether there really was fighting; of whether this war was not merely a giant Nazi plot to draw British forces onto the continent into another Dunquerque. The Russian battles had smoth-ered these doubters to a point where there was sharp British criticism ot their own government for not giving the Reds more enthusiastic aid. The defense of Moscow and Kiev had been even more successful than that of the more exposed Leningrad.

BRIEFS GLASGOW: Four American pilots joining the British air forces were drowned and seven survived the tor-pedoing of the vessel on which they were crossing from Canada. A sea-man said the submarine command-er, a young German, apparently ashamed of what he had done, came to the surface, talked with the sur-vivors, and disclaimed firing the tor-pedo which sank the ship. TEHERAN: The British-Russia- n terms, presented to Iran, called for unconditional surrender of the Ger-man colony for internment, and of-fered no promise of withdrawal oi the occupational forces. WELLINGTON, N. Z.: Major Gen-eral Puttick, brigade commander in Greece, returned to tell of the cam-paign, and said the Nazi soldier oi today was "not as good a fighter as his father." He told of nine Nazis captured trying to hide behind one olive tree. Money in Patches Numerous neat patches on the clothing oi a tramp in the Camoo-wea- l district of Australia earned him the name of "Billy Patches," and by that name he was known until he died. He was considered "queer, but harmless" because of his patches. After his death it was re-vealed that under each patch was sewn a treasury note and that "Billy Patches" really was a walking bank, according to reports received in Sydney.
