Hitler's Hand

The voice Is Frances, but the hand is Hit
ler's.
Spain makes a gesture for recovery of Gil
braltar when Spain is unable to undertake a
TO find. Americans returning from Spain on
the Liner Manhattan declare that Nazi troops
are pouring into that %benighted land in droves,
fully equipped for battle. Bilboa and Barcelona
are filed with German troops who make a
great TODD of saluting Spanish citizens, whom
they are egging on to war.
Thus, Hitler starts another sideshow to di-
vert, as much as possible, British attention
from the task of cleaning up the Italian navy
IN the Mediterranean and preparing for the
defense of the British Isles against an Axis
Invasion and blockade.
It is to be expected that the fuehrer will
Use every device at his command to worry
the British wherever possible. But the presence
of Nazi troops in Spain may indicate more than
an attack on Gibraltar in the nane of the
Spanish. It may, in fact, mean that Hitler and
Stain have arrived at a decision on the Bal
kan question and German troops sent to that
area are free to be transferred to Spain. If
Germany and Russia have agreed on a Bal
kan policy to the great relief of Hitler's
mind, it is reasonable to suppose the Nazi
soldiers housekeeping through Spain and trave-
ling it's streets and roads in armored cars
are the same ones Hitler had rushed to his
western frontier when Stain seized Bessara-
bia.
The Burma road and the Rock of Gibraltar
are a long way apart, geographically, but may
be very near in the totalitarian scheme of
conquest. At least the Spanish buzzard shows
a common trait of the breed, along with Italy
and Japan, in sharpening its fangs for the
feast of Britain, if the English can be destroy

England Answers

Britain has made it fairly clear that her
only answer to Hitler's peace %''offer'' can best
be made in the language of bombs and shells.
There can be no peace, this reply indicates,
until Hitler is vanquished or the empire of
Great Britain surrendered and the British
Isles share the fate of France. Air raids by
the Nazis, following Britain's failure to knuckle
down at once, were repulsed, a fast Italian
cruiser sunk in the Mediterranean and by
other sundry activities London showed Berlin
that it is willing, and apparently fairly well
prepared, to take up it's role in the delayed
Battle of England.
During the month that Hitler has been de-
batting what to do next and what Stain might
do about the Balkans, England has vastly
improved its defense situation. Whether these
measures are adequate only the battle itself
can show, but it is an indisputable fact that
by letting a month slip by after the conquest
of France without a major offensive against
the British Hitler has lost complete control of
the war situation.
The effectiveness of a juggernaut is depen-
dant upon its constant progress. 1t must keep
rolling. The moment it stops it's power ends. By
stopping his when the French surrendered Hit
Ter rendered it impotent. 1t remains to be seen
if he can get it back into its stride.
Britain's military preparations for. assault
and for a blockade have gone forward during
this period of Nazi indecision and inactivity.
She is able to meet the Wanted Germany air
force on more nearly equal terms than since
the war started last September and recent air
fighting has showed that the British airmen
man for man, plane for plane. But this is
only one advantage she has gained, and not
the greatest. Acquisition of the French fleet
is a greater benefit to Britain. With it out of
German hands, her fleet is still mistress of
the seas. And until Hitler has put Britain's
navy out of commission he may not reason.

soil succeed or make a blockade impenetrable
With British warships preying on German for
ces in the channel it will be impossible for
him to get his tanks and armies to England in
the great numbers that would be required to
conquer the country. With British planes aloft

pave the way on land with his air attack.

fare, observers have been on the lookout for
a major blunder by the German fuehrer. Here.
tofore he has made none. Now, by allowing
his campaigns to slump for an entire month,
it is not impossible that the looked-for error
is in the making. Britain, of course, may fail
in its defensive war. She may not have raised
her war strength to the level needed to defeat
the Germans. But the chances are more in
her favor, as a result of this months idleness
by the enemy, than they have been since the
wars first gun was fired.

For old and young, swimming IS

weak or crippled to use for walk
ing, golf, or tennis.
Natural water is best-the ocean,
the lake. the river. But modern n.y.
eiene and the work of sanitary en-
gineers have made pools safe and
comfortable. The bacterial content
and clearness of the water, per-
sonal cleanliness of bathers, laun-
dering of suits, maintenance OF san
litary conditions on the premises
have led to great reduction in in

by chlorine are themselves harm
through ozonating machines, or the
ed contamination of the water as
a source of infection of the sinuses
and ears.
Other health hazards from
swimming can be prevented by the
application of common sense.
Chilling of the body surface is
one of these.
No Warning
The specific heat of water is high.
If you had every substance on earth
collected together and experiment
ed to find how much heat it would
take to get them hot, and how long
it would take to cool them off,
water would just about head the
list. It takes heat from the body
ravenouSly.
That is one danger of swimming
exercises. Natures warnings-get-
ting hot and perspiration and gen
eral discomfort-which slow us up
in other sports do not appear while
swimming. Then the cool environ
ment tends to ward off fatigue until
finally, suddenly collapse occurs.
Even water of the temperature
of 70 degrees F. causes a chilling
shock, as can be seen from blue
lips and chattering teeth. And this
chilling of the body surfaces causes
general changes which, as DR.. H.
Marshall Taylor, of Jacksonville,
Florida, who has added SO much to
our knowledge of the hygiene OF
swimming, shows, reduces resist
ance- to infection. These general
body changes include a reduction
in the number of white blood cor.
puscles in the circulating blood YES
sells on the surface of the body, in
Guiding the mucous membrane Of
the nose.
Not After Meals
Swimming after meals-there he
been no change in the hygienist's
ideas that this is a bad thing. The
blood goes to the interic~ after 6
meal and if there is any tendency
to cramps there is proportionately
more danger. The blood is only
partially diverted to the muscles
after a meal, and exercise in colo
water imposes a demand that re
suits in cramped muscles and obvi
Gus attendant dangers.
