Niles Engaging Critical Struggle With Germany Mastery

the French British Norwegian alliance
or the Germans, depends to great extent
on their success on the sea- The British
seek to cut German supply and COM
munication lines from Denmark across
the Skagerrak to Norway. The Germans
seek to destroy British landing bases--as
they have bombed from the air An
dalsneS and Namsos-and to harry Brit
ish troop transports.
Reports issued by each side about the
land operations are in detail conflicting.
Reports on the work at sea and in the
air scarcely seem to describe the same
operation, when the communiques OF
Britain are compared with the COM
muniques Of Germany. Ber-
Losses lin claims the British loss in
At Sea ships sunk, damaged or in
capacitated since April 9, the
date of Norways invasion, is 81 vessels,
including battleships, 13 cruisers, II de-
stroyers, II troop transports, aircraft
carrier, IA submarines. London puts Brit
lsh losses at but 10 destroyers of fleet Of
1875 destroyers. German losses, according
to London, include, repeatedly, the battle
ships Scharnhorst and Gneisenau, at least
destroyers and surely 26 and perhaps
SO transport and supply ships. British es-
innate OF German sea losses since the
wars beginning, September 3, is 451, 900
tons.
For the British Narviks siege is pri-
marily naval operation, hampered by
raging Arctic blizzards. Narvik is so far
north of Trondheim that the Germans
in the ore port have no hope of contact
with their colleagues to the south. If
the allies are successful in forcing the
surrender of the German garrison at
Na4vik they will control the railroad
from the Swedish iron mines at the head
OF the Gulf of Bothnia, which remains
frozen until mid-May. 1t was the block
ade by the British of Narvik to prevent
the shipment of ore to Germany which
fastened so far as we can judge on in
formation available now, the arrival of
the war in Norway.
The war in the air consists, so far as
the northern war is concerned, on at
temptS by the British to destroy the
German air bases at Stavanger, where a
British pilot saw so NaN planes on the
ground, and Bergen in Norway and
Aalborg in Northern Denmark. The
British claim considerable success, the
Germans deny it, for their raids. Berlin

WAR OF NERVES MAY SPREAD TO AMERICA
Intervention With Money and Motere Freely Discussed

Two wars are being waged simultane-
ously in Europe at the present time:
One is military campaign confined for
the time being to the allies and the Ger
mans with the Nordic states as the
theater Of operations. The other is
psychological war-the so-called war of
nerves-waged by the powers of the
axis and their potential associate, Japan.
In the first of these wars, the Ger
mans, who have the initiative of opera
tions, are now confronted with French
British military expedition on the Nor
wegian state. Both parties are rushing
reinforcements as speedily as their
means permit them. While no major
engagement has taken place as yet, the
propaganda offices are picturing the
slightest skirmish as momentous battle.
The truth is that the time for real
encounter between the allied and the

the Herzogovinian Mountains, and most
of his followers and sympathizers were
rendered equally Ineffective.
But the scare did not last long. Mus
solini's plan, in the event he decides to
join the dance of death, is to occupy
Greece. The Yugoslav general staff,
which deals in realities, knows what the
Italian general staff knows: That an
invasion of Dalmatia is feasible, but the
consequences of war with Yugoslavia
could prove fatal to the Fascist regime.
There can be no blitzkrieg in Yugoslavla.
Mechanized forces cannot move extern
sively, and bombardment of the principal
Yugoslav towns can be of no military
consequence. Furthermore, the occupa-
ton Of the Dalmatian coast can profit
Italy nothing. That part of the Yugoslav
kingdom is in the hands Of Italy so far
as its communication with the outside
world is concerned. The Italians domi-
nate the Otranto Straits and can cut Oh
all communication between the Adriatic
and the Mediterranean within less than
"a hours. Hence, the war of nerves
which infected Yugoslavia was only of
short duration.
The war of nerves was intended at first
to demoralize the public in Britain and
France and force the respective govern
ments to peace by. acceptance Of fats
accompli. This appears completely out
OF the question at the moment. 1t is
pointed out in allied quarters that II
the war Of nerves takes the proportion
of an epidemic in the United States, the
possibility Of precipitating an interven-
ZIONIST attitude on this side Of the ocean
might become . probability.

But, 1t was said in Paris and in London,
there are some Spanish generals who be-
grudge the dictator's position and are
willing to replace him, even at the price
of participation in the present war. The
aim OF the Spanish ultra -nationalists is
to have control of the whole of Spain.
and Gibraltar is in Spain, after all. They
were reported to be ready to overthrow
Gen. Franco, whose pro-French feelings
do not suit the totalitarians. Franco was
a pupil of the present French Ambas-
sador to Spain, Marshal Petain, at the
French war college. He has kept deep
feeling of respect and admiration for
his former teacher. This is considered
sufficient for his opponents to label him
as pro-ally. Because of these intrigues
IN Spain reports came out that the
Spaniards are massing troops in the
vicinity of Gibraltar with the view of
retaking the rock from the British.
News OF impending attack against Hol-
land, Greece, Yugoslavia, Switzerland
and Gibraltar have filled Europe for the
last 10 days. They are causing tense
ness which is reflected even in our own
country-thousands of miles away from
the scene of battle
Sword Rafting Has Effect.
Mussolini became bellicose suddenly
the day after the Germans entered Den-
mark and Norway. That he intends to
play part in the present confagration
is beyond doubt. He is going to bring
Italy into this war despite the meek op-
position of King Emperor Victor Eman-
uel and his son Umberto. But the mo-
ment to strike. while near, has not yet
arrived. His rattling of the sword has,
however, had its effect already. French
units which had been operating with the
British in the North Atlantic were rushed
back to the Mediterranean French
troops held in reserve since the outbreak
of the war were sent to the Alps in a
hurry while more troops are being sent
to the French Riviera to strike, if neces-
sary, at Italy through the only open
passage-the Mentone Ventimiglia road.
The allies have done their utmost to
cover their defeat in this war of nerves.
Since Thursday, April 18, rumors have
been flying throughout Europe that the
concentration Of Italian troops in AL
bania was not intended for Greece, but
for Dalmatia. The Yugoslavs bit for a
while. They knew that for almost year
German and italian fifth columnists"
had been infesting Croatia and Slovenia
and undermining the influence of the
Belgrade government. They were en-
couraged to demand-even by revolu-
tionary movement-the complete au-
tonomy of these provinces. Belgrade was
nervous. The information presented to
the government was conclusive. Belgrade
believed this because it was aware of the
Croatian dissatisfaction. The pro-Ger-
man Prime Minister, Stoyadinovitch, was
rounded up and sent into the fastness Of

German forces has not yet arrived and
it will take some time before the allies
can land sufficient forces in the Nor
wegian fjords to meet the German divi-
sions. The Reich high command is
rushing, by sea and air transports, the
necessary reinforcements to keep pace
with the troops landed by their adver-
saries
In the meantime, the opposing groups
are making big play for the gallery.
Winston Churchill, in order to cover up
the inexcusable surprise of the landing
of the Germans in Norway, informed the
world concerning the shattering battle
which was taking place in the Skagerrak
between German and British naval
forces. This battle never existed. The
only event that occurred there was that
in which number of British submarines
broke through the minefields of the
straits and sent to the bottom five out Of
eight German transports.
The German government announced
proudly, only "a hours after their troops
entered Oslo, that King Haakon's govern
ment had given up all fight and was 60
ing to accept the German protectorate
within the next IL hours All of these
gallery plays were intended to further
intimidate the thoroughly scared neutral
neighbors.
Mussolini Does His Part.
But as soon as it appeared that the
in, 4oJ~
longer than was expected by the Reich
government, the war of nerves broke out
In full fury. Signor Mussolini, faithful
ally of the Germans contributed to that
play. The Italian fleet was mobilized
and sent-with the exception of the sub
marines and large proportion of the
destroyers-to the Dodecanese Islands.
Italian troops were moved toward the
French frontier while new mechanical
units and several air squadrons were
rushed over the Mediterranean to REIN
force Field Marshal Balbo's African
forces. Rumors followed rumors. The
Russian divisions-veterans of the Finn
tsh wars-moved closer to the Ru-
manian borders from the Odessa dis
tricts. German forces, kept for several
weeks on the Hungarian frontiers, were
reinforced and began suspicious concen-
trations. The fifth column story broke
out in one big sensational rash. The
jittery European neutrals began to round
up all foreigners, regardless of who they
were. Holland began to flood the roads
leading to the German borders and ar
rested all the suspected Nazi sympa-
thizers, which included associates of the
late and powerful oil magnate, Sir Henri
Deterding.
Rpuors were spread in Britain and
in France that Franco was on the way
out. The Spanish generalissimo is q
