ably was an armed German mer-
chairman, said that out of three
Nazi pocket battleships, the Graf
Spree had been damaged by British
aviators bombing the Kiel Canal and
the Deutschland had been bombed
by Spanish fliers during the Spanish
war.
Both were believed to be under
going repairs at present.
The experts believed it was unlike
ly that the third pocket battleship,
Admiral Scheer, or any Nazi cruiser
could have eluded the British block
ade. Therefore, they believed that
the Clement, which makes under 10
knots, would have fallen easy prey
to a fast, armed merchantmen.

Poland had been over-run, Church.
i'll said:
"At some risk of being proved
wrong by events will proclaim to-
night Sunday night my conviction
that the second great fact Of the
first month of the war is that Hit
Ter and all that Hitler stands for
have been, and are being, warned
off the east and the southeast Of
Europe"
Proceeding to his third event,
submarine warfare, Churchill said
that, speaking with especially eau
ton as first lord Of the admiralty,
it would seem that the u-boat at
tack upon the life of the British
Isles had not so far proved success
full.
"It is true" he went on, that
when they sprang out upon us as
we were going about our ordinary
business with 1000 ships in con-
slant movement every day upon the
seas, they managed to do some Sc
rious damage. But the royal navy
has Immediately attacked the u
boats and is hunting them night
and day. I will not say without
mercy, for God forbid that we
should ever part company with that,
but at any rate with zeal and not
altogether without relish"
Sub Attacks Costly
Churchill disclosed that Britain
had seized in contraband goods
destined for Germany 100000 more
tons than had been lost by all sub
marine attacks put together. Furth-
er, he said that by the end Of Oc-
tober Britain would have three
times as many U-boat hunting craft
on the seas than it had when the
war started.
AS a key member of the war ca
binet, Churchilrs remarks as to Ger
many had some weight:
Directions have been given by
the government to prepare for a
war of at least three years. That
does not mean that victory may not
be gained in a shorter time. How
soon it will be gained depends upon
| how long Herr Hitler and his group
of wicked men, whose hands are
stained with blood and soiled with
corruption, can keep their grip upon
the docile, unhappy German people
ut was for Hitler to say when the
war would begin, but it is not TO,
him or for his successors to say
when it will end. 1t began when hi
wanted it and it will end only wher
we are convinced that he has hac
enough"
This seemed to rule out definite.
ly even consideration of any Ger.
man peace bid on Hitler's terms.

became rector of the Brooklyn cathe-

reputation as builder by arranging

church and school.

Elevation was swift and in 1915
with the death of Archbishop James
Edward Quigley of Chicago he was
raised to the archbishopric. In 1924

This vessel, they said, could have
been outfitted for action in some
neutral port within the last month
and could not be at sea.
Naval experts said, however, that
they did not believe there was much
chance of the raider escaping detec-
ton for a long period because of
present long-range reconnaissance
by aircraft.
The Clement was Booth Line
sailing between New York and
Brazil, with quarters for IL pas
sengers.
During the World War, German
raiders" on the high seas scored
some spectacular successes before
the British Navy was able to elimin-
ate them.
Avoiding Major Battle
One of the chief problems con-
fronting the British Admiralty in
the present war was to locate and
destroy or tie up every German YES
sci that might operate as a raider.
Because the present German fleet is
much smaller than the World War
Imperial fleet, it had been believed
that the Nazis would attempt to
send out raiders instead OF risking
a major sea battle.
The German warships at present
are smaller, faster and more COM
pact for the most part than during
the World War. Thus the famous
German pocket battleships as well
as cruisers are well suited for raid
ing purposes. lying in wait OIL the

Prime Minister Neville Chamber

the apparently increasingly CLOSE
partnership between Nazi Germany

Chamberlain was confidently eX-
pected also to reject in advance any
bid to induce the Allies to accept
peace on the Stalin-Hitler terms.
All sorts of reports circulated as
to the possibilities of this week. Inc

Clarifying Of Nationality
Laws Urged at Bal Meeting

Clarification and codification of
nationality laws to relieve present
complications in their enforcement
were urged yesterday by Richard
Flournoy, State Department attor-
ney, in an address before a luncheon
meeting of the Federal Bar Associa-
ton at the Army and Navy Club.
Mr.. Flournoy cited cases, some of
which are not covered by the exist
ing statutes and others complicated
due to obvious conflicts in the laws.
He pointed out that bill, based on
a report submitted by a cabinet
committee appointed by the Presi-
dent to make a study of the nation
ality laws, was introduced at the
last session of Congress.
He urged passage of such legisla-
ton when Congress reconvenes in
January.
