StrOyers and IS submarines would
give Hitler and Benito Mussolini
a sea force almost equal in ton
mage to Great Britain'S. 1t might
enable the axis partners to make
main naval assault on the British
fleet or British Isles and would
weaken the security of the western
hemisphere.
The opinion OF neutral naval eX-
perts has been sharply divided over
the possible fate of Frances navy.
Some have commended that Hitler's
threat of repriSalS against French
civilians would be enough to take
the French fleet home in surren-
der. Others believed French sea-
men would permit their ships to be
seized" by the British rather than
surrender to Germany, or, failing
in that. they would scuttle them.
The question of manning French
warShipS was discussed, and it was
said that if the French Seamen be-
came willing prisoners" of the
British, they would leave enough
French technicians aboard to oper-
ate the ships, whereas if they sur
rendered to Germany, the Germans
would be unable to operate the
ships until they could train Ger
man crews in the French mechan-
iSmS. No one believed that the
French would take their ships to
battle under the German flag

however, will be designed merely to
end the warfare in France, leaving
the final peace terms to be estab-

at the end of the European war.
Fighting went on in France and
on the widespread battlefields of

Your sweetheart forever George"
Mr.. Stenz said that the boy had
taken the family car out shortly
before noon yesterday and had said
he was going skating. He had not
returned home when the family re-
tired and Mr.. Stenz got up during
the night to see if the boy had
come in.
He arose again at dawn and went
out into the garage. The auto
mobile was in there, its motor
running. A hose from vacuum
cleaner ran from the exhaust pipe
into the car.
The boys body was slumped over

I heard was phone call from police.

Tree Saved Her.:
Her body lay on the grass, at q
point where the span rises some 10
feet above the ground. In falling,
her body had struck tree before it
hit the rain n-softened earth and this
undoubtedly saved her from instant
death.
She had been married about three
years, but had no children. 1t was
the second marriage for Mr.. Frere,
who has a grown son.
Two notes were found near Miss
Lofink's body. One said:
Dear Mother: Tired. Love YOU
and the kids I think I am finding
peace. I broke my heart last fall.

The note was forwarded to Miss
Lof1nk's mother, who lives in Will
mington, Del. The other message
was to Agatha Jones, the dead girls
roomate, and asked that a doctors
bill be paid.
1t was the roommate who d!scov-
cred the body. Police were told
that Miss Lofink came to Washing
