NEW YORK. Nov. 3.-Hit-

Napoleon's book. With altera-

another continental System

With a gun in one hand, and
an order book in the other, Nazl

The British navy was the big
loser in the bloodleSs battle OF
Czechoslovakia. Its principal func-

Of war to blockade Germany. By
seizing CZechoslovakia Hitler
created almost overnight his Nit

perialist Germans for generations.
Mittel Europa, meaning German
control from the Baltic to the
Black Sea and beyond, gives Hit

hindrance to Germany that with
regard to material supplies, she
could probably carry on a war con-
siderably longer than in the last
struggle when she held out against
the entire world for four years but
was finally starved out.

SHANGHAI, April q G.N.SO.
A new cause for tension between
Japan and Great Britain suddenly
arose today when the British
steamer Tungwo was seized by
Japanese at the mouth of the
Yangtze River.
Japanese troops from military
launches boarded the vessel, bayo-
netting and wounding members of
the ships Chinese crew, it was
claimed. Nipponese authorities
alleged the Tungwo had fired a
shot and said the Tungwo would
be detained for an indefinite
period.
Later top-ranking Japanese au.
thoritieS assured British officials
the Tungwo would be released to-
night.
Prior to this, the British gunboat
Cricket had prepared to go to the

Pacific, and at Kodiak in the
Aleutian Islands off the mainland

The decision is based upon the
theory of Minister of Colonies
Mandel that there is one all

Colonial troops are generally re-

possible exception of the garde
mobile. Mandel's idea is that re-
turn Of the colonial forces will
afford a powerful stiffening of
defense as we'll as provide the
most effective protection for the
empire as whole. Mandel plans
to develop native troops as a home
guard for the colonies.
MYSTERY FIGURE
