British Warned of Invasion
‘War Strategy’ Seen in Extra Caution
By Vtitled Press
The British people were whipped up last niq&fct to an expectation that Adolph Hitler's threatened invasion may come “at any hour” but private advices from London suggest this may be. to a Rreat extent, part of the psychol-ORy of Winston Churchill's war strategy.
An influential member of the British government said that Britain never was more confident of her ability to crush such an assault.
SPOKESMEN QUOTED
Dispatches from London, quoting British spokesmen and others, were filled with Rrave warnings of invasion, discussions of thickening weather over the narrow channel and assertions that unless Hitler strikes within the next two weeks he will be stymied for the winter.

Roosevelt Signs Conscription Bill
October 16 Designated for Registration;
16,500,000 Must Enroll at Polling Places
WASHINGTON. Sept. 16.—(U.P.)—President Roosevelt today made peacetime conscription the law and proclaimed that on October 16 all men from 21 to 35. inclusive, must register for selective military training.
Roosevelt signed the first peacetime draft bill in American history at 3:08 p.m. (EST) and proclaimed registration day a moment later, two days after congress gave its final approval to the legislation.
An estimated 16,500.000 men —
citizen and alien alike—must register at polling places throuRhout the country on October 16. From | this number, the nation will build up over the next five years a reservoir of 5,000.000 trained men for its land and sea forces.
SAYS U. S. READY He took coRnizance of the current world situation and served notice that the United States is ready and able to defend at any i cost the heritage of its freedom. “Time and distance have been shortened,” he said. ‘A few weeks have seen Rreat nations fall. We cannot remain indifferent to the philosophy of force now rampant in the world. The terrible fate of —courtesy Time* nations whose weakness invited attack is too well known to us all.
“We must and will marshall our great potential strength to rend off war from our shores. We must and Will prevent our land from becoming a victim of aggression.
