The bulk of them are bound for Rumania. Hungary's Minister of Agricul- ture, Michael Telekl, resigned to- day because, it was reported, he differed with the Government over the mass movement of German troops through Hungary. Other dissonsion within the gov- ernment also was reported but it could not be learned whether more resignations might be expected. The thoroughness with which German army railroad technicians have taken hold of Hungarian rail lines between slovakia and south. eastern Europe indicated they Ian to retain control until they ave completed whatever cam- paign they may be organizing in the Balkans. Telephone connections with Switzerland were cut temporarily by the censor Saturday night and the censors offices called corres- ondents and ‘suggested’ they "re- rain from saying the Hungarian state railways were under German management." (The main Hungarian rail lines radiate in four lines south of Budapest. Two branch toward the west in the direction of northern- most Yugoslavia and Italy. The third goes straight south in Yugo- slavia aud the fourth forks east- ward into Rumania.) Reports trickling through the Rumariian censorship indicated that most of the Germans moved directly into camps and barracks previously prepared in western Ru- mania, between Arad and Timi- soara near the Yugoslav frontier and along the southern Romanian border between Giurgiu and the Begin To Simmer Under Nazz Activities Movement ofEe-rman Troops into Southeastern Europe be- lieved double earlier estimate. ‘noted by Hungarians were huge guns described as the type the Germans have used to hammer England's Dover ares. from across the English Channel.

No. 22. 1.0.0.1“. lioped Truce Would aid in Ending War The following item is from the New York Herald of Dec. 26: The temporary truce between Germany and Great Britain was hailed with joy yesterday by the Rev. Dr. John sutherland Bonnell, pastor of the Fifth Avenue Pres- byterian Church, at Fifty-fifth Street. who announced the news of the grounding of bombing planes dllllllz the holiday period from the pulpit and expressed the hope that the temporary truce mlZht be "the seed for a harvest of enduring peace." Dr. Bouncll disclosed that for more than two months loading representatives of the qFPzltESt re- ligious bodies of the United States had been working quietly with re- hglous leaders in Germany and Enpland to achieve a “Truce of God" on Christmas Dav and a pos- sible cessation of hostilities during the holiday period. Dr. Borinell was himself one of the first to ad- vocate such a move. Dr. Bonneli said that he had written to church leaders of all faiths asking them to appeal to Pope Plus XII. the -Arcl"ibishop of Canterbury and the Reich Bishop of Germany for a suspension of warfare on Christmas Day so that “the people of belligerent countries could 3o to their churches and cathedrals to pray for peace with- out the fear of mutilation and death." Dr. Bonnell said he had con- ceived the idea of a holiday truce after reading John Milton's ode, “On the Morning of Christ's Na- tlvity”. He said the inspiration had come to him from the verse: "N0 WM‘. or battieis sound Was heard the world around: The idle spear and shield were high uphung: The hooked chariot stood Unstained with hostile blood; spake not to the armed throng: And kings sat still with awful eye As 1f they surely knew their sov- ereign Lord was h ." Dr. Bonnell said that he had written in October to the Most Rev. Francis J. Spellman. Roman Catholic Archbishop of New York; the Rey. Frederick l-I- Knudel. pre- sident of the United Lutheran Church in America; E. J. Milling- ton, president of the Northern Baptist Convention; the Right Rev. Henry St. George Tucker. Presid- ing Bishop of the Protestant Epis- copai Church; the Rev. Dr. Fran- cis J. McConnell, senior Bishop of the Methodist Church, and the 'Rev. William Lindsay moderator of the Presbyterian urch. Dr. Bonricll said that he wished to express his gratitude especially to Dr. Knudel and Rev. Al- mond R. Pepper. acting for Bishop Tucker, who worked unceasingly on plans for the truce. Dr. Bon- riell said that Dr. Knudel had been in direct contact with religious leaders in Germany. especially with the Landesblschof of tl-i Reich, and that the Rev. Mr. Pep- per had made valuable contacts with the established church in England. "I am tremendously gratified that the prediction of a truce has been fulfilled," Dr. Bonnell said. "and that the peoples of Germany and Britain can enjoy the Christ- mas season without fear of mutil- ation or death. I hope that this temporary truce, which was pos- sible onl because of the spirit of good wii that Christmas has brought to the world, may be the seed for an enduring peace. And I ii that the fact of the truce wil turn the minds of belllgerents to Christ. the Prince oi Peace, and that even the most. ruthless‘ of men may not remain untouched."

Waves of bombers apparently car- rying cargoes of incendiary bombs —aiid no explosives-attacked the capital just after dark. They hurl- ed hundreds upon hundreds of blaz- ing missiles to light the way for the raiders who shuttled ton upon ton of explosives over the city in their blazing wake. Sensing another ferocious attack, London's millions darted down sub- way entrances to safety. Others took refuge in their backyard An- dersori shelters, the steel huts dis- tributed by the government. "Spotters" Stick Hundreds of rooftop fire “spot- ters" stuck to their posts, and it is believed that many of these fig- ured in the mounting casualty list. Reports indicated that at least two waves of raiders dropped in- cendiary bombs exclusively. Several “basket? of fire bombs were loosed in cme area. One bomb exploded causing a reverberation that lasted at least two minutes. (Private messages from London indicated that incendiaries fell on the building at 20 Tudor Street housing the offices of The Cana- dian Press. There were no casual- ties and the extent of damage was not given. The Canadian Press of- fices were shaken by a blast in Friday night's raids and the build- ing was bombed during last aut- umn's heavy attacksh Within a short time after the first Nazi planes roared past the capital's anti-aircraft uns. high explosives were dropp ng on the city. some in the central part.
