command. The German fighters
will endeavor 70 cover them from
air attack, while German bombers
assail the British ships.
Because of the very heavy losses
in German destroyers, the German
navy will not be able to do very
much to help the transit of the
army, save perhaps in the northern
part Of the North Sea, where most
OF the remaining ships may well
be concentrated. The chief reliance
for protection in the Channel cross
ing will be darkness and the air
force. Unless further measures re-
duce to ineffectiveness the present
state of the British air defense, one
is not inclined to believe that the
Germans can look for high degree
of success against combined naval
and air resistance with air power
alone.
In the North Sea, the Germans
may concentrate their naval
strength to cover a large crossing.
They probably now have two new
35,O00-ton battleships, two some
what smaller ones, a handful of
cruisers Gncluding one or two of
the so-called pocket battleships) and
something like Is destroyers, plus
at least one aircraft carrier. This
is a formidable force, and it might
well be sacrificed-as SO great a
part of the German navy was
sacrificed in the Norwegian cam
paign-to assure the landing of one

fore depends on the weather, the
skill and resolution with which the
respective forces are handled, and
the vital element of air co-opera-
tion-in which the Germans proved
superior in Norway but in which it
may well be hoped that the British
have improved after that bitter
lesson.
To sum up, therefore, we may
say that at this time-subject always
to such an intensification of the
German air effort as would further
reduce the effectiveness of the Royal
Air Force-there is a very good
chance that the British air force
and fleet can inflict severe losses
on the German invading force before
1t starts to move, can inf1ict further
and perhaps crushing losses on its

their powerful army may be poured
in.
The British problem is to destroy
these attempts either before they
leave the opposite shore, or in
transit, or at any rate to destroy
them piecemeal on the British shore
before they have at any one point
assumed formidable proportions.
From Prime Minister Churchill's
statement, it is clear that the Ger
mans are making preparations all
round the Semi-circle of coast which
they hold opposite Great Britain,
from Norway to Brittany; and even
on the shores of the Bay of Biscay,
which would suggest that one big
effort is coming in the west of
England, or that perhaps a base
in Ireland is going to be sought.
1t is likely that the Germans will
strike at several points simultane-
ously. Not all of these will be major
efforts, but will be distracting, and
1t will need great insight and firm
ness and the quick transmission of
information to enable the British
high command to judge where and
when to put in its reserves.
To Fight in Air and on Sea.
The first British efforts-which
are indeed already in progress-will
be directed toward smashing up the
shipping and barges and troop con-
centrations at their take-off points.
Here the almost uninjured bomber
command of the Royal Air Force
will be busy, and will begin for the
first time to sustain severe casual
ties. Next, as the flotillas start to
move, they will be attacked by the
ravy-by destroyers, submarines and
escort craft, possibly supplemented
by cruisers, and by the aircraft of
the fleet air arm and the coastal

several elements while they are In
transt and can probably so break
them up and injure them as to
render 1t unlikely that any force
can land in Britain either by air
or by sea which cannot be dealt
with by the British land forces.
Is Germany Overconfident?
On the other hand, we must admit
that If tic Germans do make good
their Ian Ling and get a good sized
army into Britain. the British will
have great difficulty in dealing
with 1t.
1t seems probable that an invasion
now would be defeated. Hence, if
1t be attempted, we must lay it
either to German overconfidence, so

downfall, or to the pressure of other

10 Capital Ships Of Britain.
The British feet at the moment

three taken over from the French.
These are divided, probably, into
three groups, each with supporting
elements of carriers, cruisers, de-
stroyers and submarines - one in
the Eastern and one in the Western
Mediterranean and one at home,
based probably at Lough Swilly in
Northern Ireland.

works with a lone run in the
first-half of the initial frame.
Leathernecks came right back to
score a pair of markers on a fluke
hit by second baseman johnson.
The Marines saw their lead van
ish in the third as the Conchs
staged three-run rally, spark
ed by Richard Reeves single
that accounted for two of the
IallieS.
