Frigote Birds Warned
Sailors of Hurricanes

+ ONG before weather bureaus
and radios existed, sailors got
their storm warnings by watching
the frigate bird. If the bird few
low, seamen got ready for a blow,
if the bird appeared over land,
other than at breeding time, hur-
ricane was in the offing. Britain's
Gilbert and Ellice islands pictured
the frigate bird on the 1887 coro-
nation issue, above.
The frigate bird has a wide
range all around the world within
the tropics. A smaller species is
confined to eastern seas.
A large wing span and small
body enable the bird to float in
the air with a minimum of effort.
No movement of wings is percep-
tible as the bird glides against the
wind.
In fishing, or in robbing other
sea birds of their catch, the frigate
bird shows its speed and maneu-
variability. The birds usually are
seen singly or in pairs; only on
their nesting grounds are they
found in large numbers.

g1an government had repudiated
the King and declared its intention
Of pursuing the war.
The Congo is rich in rubber, cop
per, cotton and other products. It
was said to remain Belgian, just as
the Netherlands Indies remained
Dutch after German occupation of
the Netherlands.
A clarifying statement by the Brit
lsh government, however, is being
sought in the House of Commons
by Sir Clifford Fox, Conservative.
He has presented a written ques-
ton for answer by Prime Minister
Churchill on how the Belgian Congo
now is to be regarded and, more
over, what effect Leopold's action
will have on Belgian refugees here.
Lessons In Dutch Invasion.
The Information Ministry issued
statement on lessons Britain should
learn from the German invasion of
Holland, where. it said, cunning
technique" succeeded, although the
Dutch were fully warned.
"The invasion must have been
marvellously planned" the state
ment said, "for troops landed in
circles surrounding each of three
airdromes. The timing was perfect.
At Waalhaven Cnear Rotterdam,
which had been rendered unusable
by the Dutch, parachutists landed
In Dutch and even British uni
forms"
Although military accomplish
ments may not seem to have been
great at the time, it is clear from
reports that the German action
caused the greatest confusion and
the moral of this effect is clear.
For example, the Dutch general
staff was SO bewildered that it in
quired of British authorities if
British troops were being landed.
when the Dutch wanted to ask
for Belgian mechanized artillery to
help them recapture a vital bridge
their message had to be relayed
through London, so great was the
dislocation.
Moreover British aircraft were
nred upon by Dutch guns.
This gives some indication of
the havoc that can follow parachute
action behind the lines"
Extraordinary Precautions.
The nation, still on guard against
potential fifth columnists, decided
to take extraordinary precautions

Spirit Of Defeatism
Gone From British,
Writer Reports
BeIeion Surrender
To Make War Harder
And Longer, They Feel
by HELEN KIRKPATRICK

ny nELkN hlhAFAVHlCA,
Chicago Daily News Foreisn CORRESPONDENT.
LONDON, May 29.-Without at
tempting to minimize the serious
ness Of the situation, British leaders
refuse to regard the possible loss Of
one section of the British expe-
ditionary force in any other light
than that 1t will make the war very
much tougher and certainly longer.
A spirit Of defeatism, which was
very marked In certain groups two
days ago, has now disappeared COM
pletely.
The rapid German advance toward
the coast, made the more possible
by the collapse of Belgium, opens
up two possibilities, according to
responsible people here. Either the
German drive will now be directed
at Paris and the rest of France
In hope Of terrorizing France into
accepting separate peace following
which a quick British defeat would
be hoped for, or the Germans will
try to utilize their coastal positions
from Denmark to the French border
to launch gigantic attack on Great
Britain.
Confident Over French.
The British are convinced that
France will never follow Belpium's
example and they are equally con-
f1dent they themselves will not
capitulate, although they have no
illusions about the ferocity of the
attack that Germany will attempt.
Returned members of the expedi-
tionary force have heartened the
people enormously by their calm
accounts of the fighting against
tremendous odds, and the stories of
German ruthlessness have onlv
angered the people so deeply that.
had there been any chance of a
negotiated peace. it can now be said
to have disappeared.
1t Is regarded here as particularly
unfortunate that the bulk of Amer
lcan comment seems to reveal the
feeling that there is nothing that
the United States could do to assist
the Allies before it is too late"
Aside from the obvious means of
assistance, which are as we'll known
to the American people as they have
been made known to United States
officials, there are still some Ameri-
cans who are dealing through round
about means with Germany. MANY
OF them are of German descent or
refugees whose families remain in
Germany, and they act usually as
middlemen in copper, tin and man
ganese exports as well as in steel
and iron products.
Supplies Purchased.
German agents registered as
American firms in California have
been buying tin and rubber from
the Netherlands Indies, ordering it
to be unloaded at Manila. where it
is being shipped to Germany by way
OF Japan and Vladivostok. Similar
trade In hides grew up during the
first months of the war. They were
shipped to Cuba and from there to
Sweden, Holland and Belgium. This
