Marseillaise, London Reports
By the Associated Press.
LONDON. July 26.—Free French
sources in London said today 100.
000 Parisians assembled at Place de
L'Opera and defiantly sang the Mar

said to have objected to M. Mar
quet s activities in behalf of collabo
ration with the Germans.
Other pro-ally demonstrations

(England).
But, it was claimed, the surge of
the crowds was so strong that they

f
Rj the Associated Press.
ROME. July 26.—The high com

Italians twice have reported using
In raids on British harbors in the
Mediterranean.

stroyed. The British report, is
sued jointly by the Admiralty,
War Office and R. A. F., said the
attack was made this morning
and was repulsed. It made no
mention of any damage to Malta.
(A. V. Alexander, first lord of
the Admiralty, disclosed in a
broadcast that the British con
vov which fought ofT Italian at
tacks Wednesday and Thursday
carried reinforcements “in ships,
fresh troops, munitions and
stores" for Mediterranean forces.)
"Last night the well-protected
naval base of Malta was violated
with unparalleled daring by a group
of assault craft of the Royal Navy,”
said the special Italian war bulletin.
"Light units which took them
within a short distance from the en
trance to the harbor reported
forcing the passage fully notwith
standing violent crossfire of enemy
artillery and machine guns placed
in alarm by the fleeting discovery
of searchlights.
“The light units themselves were :
discovered and shelled without suc
cess.
“Eight very violent explosions
with high flames were observed in
the harbor, thus giving indisputable
proof that the audacious under
taking of forcing a large enemy base
was crowned with the deserved suc
cess owing to the intrepid faith of
Italy’s sailors.”

Present Department
Head Under Order
(Earlier Story on Page A-l.)
By NELSON M. SHEPARD.
Gen. Douglas A. MacArthur,
former Army chief of staff and
now military adviser to the Phil
ippine government, was recalled
to active duty today by Secretary '
of War Stimson and designated
commanding general of a newly
created United States Army force
in the Far East.
President Roosevelt at Hyde Park
earlier in the day issued an order
placing the military forces of the
Philippine Commonwealth, s o m e j
75,000 men, into the United States
service because of critical conditions
in the Far East.
Presumably the Army’s estimate
of 75,000 men excluded partially
trained reservists. Earlier it had
been estimated that the order af
fected upwards of 150.000 trained
and partially trained Filipinos.
To Have Supreme Command.*'
Gen. MacArthur will be in su
preme command of all land and air
forces and Maj. Gen. George Gru
nert, present commanding general
of the Philippine Department, will
be subordinate to him.
It was announced at the War De
partment that the President intends
to appoint MacArthur a temporary
lieutenant general.
The new command created in the
Far East will include the Philippine
Department, the forces of the Com
monwealth of the .Philippines and
other forces which may be assigned
to it. Gen MacArthur's headquar
ters will be established in Manila
where he has served continuously
with the Philippine government
since his retirement from the Army
in 1937
Was Adviser to Manila.
At the conclusion of his service
as chief of staff in 1935, Gen. Mac
Arthur was detailed as general mili
tary adviser to the Philippines to
assist in military and naval affairs
and in the establishment of a
Philippine system of defense.
He retired from active service
December 31, 1937, but remained
with the Philippine Army, hating
been appointed field marshal.
Gen. MacArthur personally com- i
manded Federal troops which dis- j
persed the "bonus army’” here in
1932.
The general has 16 foreign deco
rations for his World War and other
services and holds the Distinguished 1
Service Cross for heroism in France I
in 1918.

longest hitters, big Johnny Bulla of
Chicago, used his power to advan
tage at Keller Course today to come

finishers in the St. Paul Open Golf
Championship.
Clipping three strokes off par a
second straight day, Bulla slipped
a stroke over par at the fourth hole,
but came back to get an eagle at
No. 7 when a long drive and a strong
iron put him on this par 5 hole in
two. Then he canned a 12 footer,
winding up with a 35, one under par,
for the nine. Coming back he had
one bogie at 12, then birdied the
17th and 18th for a two under

China Reported Ready
To Fight With Soviet
If Japan Attacks
Plan to Place 500,000
Soldiers in Field Said
To Have Been Agreed On
B* the Associated Press
LONDON. July 26 —Joseph Stalin
and Generalissimo Chiang Kai
shek were said by a reliable source
today to have an understanding by
which China would put "half a mil
lion or more" soldiers in the field
alongside Soviet forces in the event
Japan attacks Russia.
This source said he had been in
formed that this was one reason
Japan "chose Indo-China instead of
a direct attack on Russia to aid her
Axis partners.”
Russia, it was stated, has been
informed on all British discussions
with China and the United States
about Japan, and the Far Eastern
position is declared to be in line
with the British-Russian alliance.
Russia soon will be aided by Polish
troops fighting the Germans under
a Polish-Russian pact nearing
conclusion, this source declared.
Poland’s soldiers are those taken
prisoner by the Russians when East
ern Poland was occupied in 1939,
and are estimated to number 200,000.
The Czech leader Eduard Benes
announced in a broadcast that the
Czecho-Slovak government in exile
was continuing negotiations with
the Poles, adding that "a Soviet
Yugoslav agreement already has
been reached and I hope that soon
a Soviet-Polish agreement also will
be reached.”

i Bv GOULD LINCOLN.
By a vote of 9 to 1 the Senate
Military Affairs Committee this
afternoon ordered favorably re
ported to the Senate a joint
resolution extending the period
of service of all men in the
I Army
The measure follows exactly the
provisions for such extension carried
in the Selective Service Act passed
last year. It declares that "the na
tional interest is imperiled.” Under
the draft act such a declaration is
■ necessary- to authorize the President
: to extend the period of service of
the draftees as he considers neces
sary in the interest of national de
fense. The resolution reported cov
ers not only the draftees but also the
National Guardsmen. Reservists and
the men in the Regular Army.
The committee deliberately re
frained from including in the reso
lution a declaration of full national
emergency.
Senator Hill. Democrat, of Ala
j bama. who acted as spokesman for
■ the committee after the meeting,
{explained that the committee de
j sired to limit the authority given
j the President to retaining in the
! service the men now in the Army.
To declare a full national emer
i gency. he said would have brought
i into being many powers for the
President which the committee did
not now desire to bring into effect.
These powers, which were enumer
| ated by former Attorney General
| Murphy in a letter of October 4,
1939. cover agriculture, banks, com
merce and trade, the criminal code
and criminal procedure, custom
i duties, foreign relations, money and
finance navigation, the Navy, pat
ents. shipping. communications.
; transportation, territories and insu
I lar possessions and many other
I things.

Only one member of the commit
tee voted against the resolution.
Senator Reynolds of North Caro
lina, chairman of the committee.
Those voting for the resolution
were Senators Thomas. Utah; Lee
of Oklahoma, Schwartz of Wyo
ming. Hill of Alabama, Chandler of
Kentucky. Truman of Misouri and
Kilgore of West Virginia, Demo
crats. and Senators Austin of Ver
mont and Guernev of South Dako
ta. Republicans.
The report of the resolution will
be made to the Senate by Senator
Thomas of Utah.
The report cannot be filed before
Monday and the measure will not be
taken up in the Senate until Tues
day or Wednesday, in the opinion of
Senator Hill.
Senator Hill predicted that the
resolution would be passed by *ub
stantiallv the same vote as the
original draft bill passed the Senate
last year. He said that he did not
expect extended debate.
Limit on Draftees Suspended.
The resolution as reported sus
pends the limitation of 900.000 on
the number of draftees who may be
In the service at any one time. In
other words, the number of draftees
who may be taken into the service
W’ill be unlimited.
No mention of the use of the
draftees and guardsmen outside of
the Western Hemisphere is made
in the resolution. In other words,
the prohibition against such use will
continue to stand.
Senator Austin, assistant Republi
can leader of the Senate, was in
Burlington. Vt.. today and he gave
his assent to the resolution after it
had been read to him over the long
distance telephone and declared that
he considered it a good measure.
Senator Hill said the bill had fol
lowed the language of the original
draft act. which authorized exten
sion of the period of service for the
men in the event the national inter
est was imperiled
"It has been charged in some
quarters.” said Senator Hill, "that to
extend the period of service of the
draftees would be in violation of a
promise they would be asked to
serve only 12 months. The language
of the original act shows clearly that
a longer period of service was con
templated by Congress. No promise
therefore has been broken.”
