PRISONER THREATENS NEW HUNGER STRIKE
To Exchange rrlnonern
Hendaye, Franco-.Spanish Fron¬ tier. Sept. II. (UPl Spanish Loyal¬ ist and Insurgent authorities, using International Red Cross and British officials as Intermediaries, were reported tonight to be negotiating wholesale exchange of pri.soners Pnd hostages. %
Negotiations were said to have heen virtually completed by Red Cross workers, aided by members nf the British consulate here. En¬ voys from the Madrid and Sala¬ manca governments came across the border to arrange the trans¬ fer.
Several hundred prisoners held in military jails in Insurgent Spain would be escorted into France, j along with many relatives of Loyal-j leaders who have been under sur- | veillancc for months by General i Francisco Franco's agent. i
Jeffries Thomson, counselor of the British embassy here, said the '¦ritish government had offered to evacuate 7,000 Spaniards from gov¬ ernment  territory  by steamship.
Tlie Madrid government stipu¬ lated, however, that no Spaniard of military age would be per¬ mitted to leave.
The expense of chartering the ship, about .moo.non. will be borne entirely  by  Great   Britain.

Hyde Park, N. Y., Sept 11. (UP) ^President Roosevelt pledged to¬ night that the government "will do everything we can to keep this country out of war."
Mr. Roosevelt made his declara¬ tion in a neighborly, farmyard talk before Dutchess county friends at a meeting of the "Roosevelt Home Club."
A few hours earlier, at a press conference, the President had said that all countries with democratic forms of government had good reason to be "jittery" over the un¬ declared war in the Orient and the European  crisis.
Planning For Peaoe
He said that he had been so preoccupied with the foreign situa¬ tion that he had had "only two or three hours" to himself since he cam* from Washington two I weeks ago for what he hoped would ' be a vacation. |
"People   laugh   at   ua   for   plan-1 ning," h* remarked,  "but  It  takes i some planning to keep  us  out  of war.
The President aaid the war threats were "as serious as they appear to be." Bernard Baruch, who at luncheon gave the Presi¬ dent the benefit of his observations on a recent trip to Europe, sup¬ ported  this  view.
"It's a tinder box over there," the New York financier told news¬ papermen, "anything can happen."

Shanghai, Sunday, Sept 12. (UP) Sanguinary fighting was in prog¬ ress on four fronts in China today, while cholera spread among the invading Japanese  troops.
The Japanese conducted a furi¬ ous offensive in the Chapei section of Shanghai. The roar of bombs, hand grenades and Chinese anti¬ tank guns, the rat-tat of machine guns and the rumbling of tanks echoed through the International Settlement, where thousands of American and other foreign refu¬ gees   are   seeking   protection.
A Japanese spokesman announc¬ ed that 300 cases of cholera had developed among Japanese troops at Poachan, the center of fighting on the banks of the Yangste north of Shanghai. A Japanese spokes¬ man repeated the charge that the Chinese are adopting "germ war¬ fare" tactics.

The heaviest fighting on the northern front wan around Mach- ang, important railroad junction 32 miles south of Tientsin, which the Japanese occupied after a ter¬ rific bombing attack which devas¬ tated  the  town.
