 First: The concentration of the British Mediterranean Fleet ir the eastern Mediterranean. Here, we were told that the object was to protect Greece" or, more specific ally, Corfu. But it is clear that in any Mediterranean struggle between Britain and Italy, the principal British object would be to blockade Italy, since the latter power is most vulnerable to this form of attack.
 A close blockade of the Italian coast, considering Italy's strong air and submarine forces, is hardly practicable. But the object can quite as well be achieved by block ing both ends of the Mediterranean Sea. The British Mediterranean fleet, based on Alexandria, Haifa and Cyprus, is sufficiently strong for the eastern end of this process, even supposing that Malta proves untenable under air attack.
 Moreover, British naval prepond- erance in these waters would &C., complish other objectives:
 CD The severance of communl- cations with Italy by the Italian forces now concentrated ill the Dodecanese Islands.
 CD The protection of the Suez Canal against sudden eruption from this source, or from Italy di- rect.
 (3) The imperiling of Italian communications with Libya, thus making a direct contribution to the defense of Egypt.
 (4) The cutting of the only di- rect sea route from Italy to her I East African possessions. (5) Reassurance tC Turkey, thus securing the vital passage Of the Dardanelles, by which route only Rumania and Russia can be direct ly reached. (6) Reinsurance also to Greece which can be supported in case Italy tries, from Albania, to drive ! overland by the old Roman road toward Salonica and the Dardan- elles. Second: The concentration of the
 French fleet at Toulon and its de-
 parture thence for an unnamed ob- 1 jective.
 This is the western end of the
 Mediterranean blockade of Italy. It is an error to speak of an Anglo-French naval concentration in the Eastern Mediterranean, as
 the French can never afford to
 abandon their vital line of com
 munications with their North Afri-
 can colonies.
 Their present dispositions not
 only protect this line, but also: CD
 Cut off the Italian forces in Spain and Franco as well, from further
 Italian support; @ Render difficult

BOSTON PHYSICIAN
 SPEAKS ON GLANDS

Importance of the functioning If secretion glands in their relation to health was discussed by Dr. Joseph Charles Aub, of Boston, last night at the public health forum of the Waterbury Medical Association. The pituitary glands at the base of the brain were described as most im- portant in their affect on the thy roid and pancreas glands. Lack of io- dine causes more persons in the middle-west to have golfers than residents of other sections, he said, as iodine is necessary to proper fnctioning of the thyroid gland.
 The speaker was introduced by Dr. J. Harold Root and Dr. George A.. Gosselin discussed the speakers subject after the lecture.

 Germany can not hope to fight the British Home Fleet successful ly-her navy is nowhere nearly strong enough for that. Its larger ships contribute little or nothing to the security of the German coast against direct attack.

A change in the new ownership
of the Channel Bus Line, Inc, has
been effected. Beulah Sund and
III. r. Mcleod have bought out the
former stockholders and re-capital-
lied the corporation for $4,000 The
deal was handled by M. E. Monagle,

In buying out the corporation,
Mrs. Sund and Mr.. Mcleod, who
are the proprietors of the Royal
Blue Cab Company, have taken
over all the physical assets and
equipment from Cash Cole, former
operator for the old stockholders.
This latter group was composed of
Thomas p. Cole, Elsie Cole, Gene H.
Covey, James Cole, Conrad Luft and
Edward Martin. Former officers of
the corporation were Cash Cole,
President; Thomas P. Cole, Secre-
tary- Treasurer, and Gene H. Covey,
Vice-President.
Although Mrs Sund and Mr.. Nc

Dr. Lindgren also explained how

was refusing to be interviewed by
the newspapers. She told a hotel
desk clerk here that She didn't want
to be bothered by reporters, the rea-
son being, she says, that she is a

have articles appering about her in

In view of Alaska's great distance
from Central Europe and It's pres
ent hish cost OF living, Alaskan
need not fear their Territory VIII
be deluged with refugee settlers, III
Ethel j. Lindgren, noted authropol-
oeist who has been making a pre-
limjnary study of settlement posi-
bilities in Alaska, said last night
during the brief stop here OF the
southbound steamer Aleutian.
ut is obvious, said DR.. Lmdgren'
that any group or groups which
would be assuming financial pom
sibihty for refugee settlers would
not proceed with any plan unless II
had a good reason to believe that
it had very sound economic foun-
dation.'
What does DR.. Lindgren believe
the economic foundation for such
a project in Alaska to beP
Impressed by Alaska
She said she was greatly impressed
with our marvellous country but
that a thorough Investigation would
be necessary before any settlement
plan could be undertaken.
That Alaska has many possible
ties for, DEVELOPMENT, in varied fields,
is we'll known to all Alaskan and
others who have given serious
thought to the subject" she said.
DR.. Lindgren said she considered
our damp climate unfortunate, but
admired the way Alaskans ignored
the rain, walked about in it with
out raincoats and talked about other
things.
She hasn't seen Secretary Of the
Interior Harold L. Iekes' refugee
settlement proposal fully enough
reported to be able to comment on
it, she said.

zen. at present residing in England,
