Attention Paid to u. S.
The German press devoted in

United States affairs, speculating on
what effect Nazi victories would have
on the Democratic National Con-

The Deutsche Allgemeine zeitung
suggested any one at the Chicago

ming the coming election, political
analysts have feared it might exer-
else a balance of power between
Democrats and Republicans. With
two prominent Democratic Sena-
tors in leading roles. the Demo-
Gratis have feared that most of the
drawing power of an 'insurgent"
group would be directed at subtract
ing votes from the Democratic
ticket.
1t is possible, therefore, that Sem
ators Wheeler and Johnson have
received assurances beyond what
was said yesterday py the President
that their non-intervention wishes
would be given considerable weight
in the drafting of the party plat
form.
In fact, Senator Wheeler injected
note of intriguing mystery into
the political picture yesterday by
declaring he has reason to believe
Mr.. Roosevelt will reveal his third
term intentions before Monday. Mr..
Wheeler said his own candidacy for
the Democratic presidential nomina-
ton is automatically withdrawn if
the President chooses to run again.
Possibility that Mr.. Roosevelt may
break his long silence focuses in
creased attention on his press con-
ference tomorrow, the last regularly
scheduled before the convention
opens Monday afternoon.
Since the semi-weekly press con-
ferences have afforded the setting
for the most persistent questioning
of the President during the last 1S
months, it would be most fitting if
the Chief Executive finally rewarded
the reporters, and the Nation, with
an announcement tomorrow.

neutral and enemy shipping have
been sunk by the German Navy
alone, exclusive of aircraft sinkings
The British, who lost 7,830,765 tons
in the World War, have acknowl-
edged losses in the present conflict
which total nearly 100000 tons.
The loss of 100000 tons tnot
Britain's alone) is a very definite
blow to Great Britain" said Dienst
aus Deutschland.
The import of food already is
becoming evident in the rationing
of various articles. In this connec-
ton it must be kept in mind that
the German blockade war has set
in with full force only recently"
British merchant tonnage at the
beginning of the war, according to
the German estimate, was 81 100000
but what portion of this shipping
space was available to supply the
British Isles is conjectural.
Dienst aus Deutschland classified
the destruction thus far of Allied
and neutral shipping as follows:
100000 tons sunk by mines and
torpedoec.
100000 tons sunk by surface
craft.
Raids Intensified.
With the 'starvation blockade
we'll under way, Germany's nightly
air raids, hitting Southern England S
airports, munitions factories and
/ harbors, have been intensified al
most to campaign proportions. Mil
itary objectives at Plymouth. Swan
sea, Pembroke and Portland were
bombed yesterday and last night.
But there was not the slightest
hint from the high command or
other German sources whether this
was the prelude to the big attack
long promised against England.
The high command formally sane
toned a report that a 7,000-ton
British cruiser was destroyed yes
terday in the Straits of Dover and
four merchant ships totaling $1,000
tons sunk by aerial bombardment.
Another cruiser and seven COM
mercial vessels, including a tanker,
were said to have been 80 seriously
damaged or set afire by bombs that
they must be regarded as lost"
Thirty-five British planes and a
barrage balloon were reported shot
down in air battles yesterday. Seven
German planes were acknowledged
missing.
Hungary Joins Front.
Meanwhile, Germany turned to
mending her fences in Southeast
Europe.
Hungary, as friend of both Ger
