One very heavy bomb hit the
flagship Rodney, but her very strong
deck armor resisted the impact sue

Of our men Of war is concerned, this
must be considered satisfactory.
The cruiser Aurora, which was
Joining the fleet, was subjected to
five diving bombing attacks which
were pressed with courage, but
which all failed. The DESTROYER
Gurkha, which was escoiting the
Aurora, was hit. She listed very
heavily and sank after four or five
hours. But almost all Of her crew
were rescued.
The same afternoon the destroyer

They were seen in the distance

Thereafter her whole armory
stopped firing, but later, after having

cruiser maintained was very great

You must imagine that all the

make 1t come out into the open seas.
Every precaution was taken to avoid
the slightest damage to neutral
ships or any loss Of life even of en-
emy merchant ships by the mine
fields which were laid and declared
Monday last at dawn.
I now address myself to
the question I believe has been asked
IN some quarters-what is the navy
doing?
When on Sunday night the news
was received from our air recon-
naissances over the whole of the
North Sea that German battle cruis-
ers with a number of other cruisers
and vessels and destroyers were at
sea and moving northward, the
commander in chief put to sea to
f1nd them and bring them to action.
Naval Force
Approaches Narvik.
At the same time, INDEPENDENT of
this. a strong British naval force was
approaching Narvik in order to lay
mine field of the Norwegian coast,
The mine field was laid according to
plan at daylight on Monday night
The task of mine laying was accom-
pllshed and they Withdrew in order
to avoid the risk of any collision
with Norwegian war vessels. -
One of the detroyers of this
northern force that went to lay

some time to pick him up. This de-
stroyer, the Glowworm, was proceed

and added:
mo single act will transform a
great region But this plan to
equalize schooling (Which will benefit

affect the growth of the Nations

another great step toward better op-

Meanwhile, Col. Russell L. Max
well, administrator of export control
for the Defense Commission, re-
ported yesterday attempts were
being made to minimize restrictions
on the petroleum export industry by
limiting controls to those types of
fuel and oil used exclusively for
airplanes.
In a statement reporting on the
first four months of control over
aviation motor fuel exports, Col
Maxwell said progress being made
in the difficult problem was graft
flying, but that the biggest problem
tc date had been that of definition.
Petroleum being a complex mix
ture, knowledge of the exact nature
of petroleum products has Jagged
considerably behind the knowledge
of their performance and applica~
tion," he said Continuous study
and collaboration with other Gov-
ernment agencies, as well as Ameri-
can exporters, is necessary to insure
the adequate controls required for
defense purposes, without unneces-
sary construction of foreign trade"

Corporal Jeffries and I were on our round of duties through the city that evening when we passed the Hofbrau, one of the citys hot spots.
 Tt was usually going full blast till l or 2 in the morning, but this eve- ming, although 1t was 8:30, all the windows were shuttered and the door was locked.
 we peeked in through . broken shutter and saw a slim, youthful ap- bearing man on the platform and about 125 people listening.
 Suddenly, one-armed man, who, we learned later, was an ex-major in the German army, picked up wine bottle and threw 1t at the speaker, knocking him oil the platform. A riot started at once.
 We knew the place and its sur- roundings well, as we had been at Maven for a year, and when we saw the speaker dive for the rear door, which we knew opened on 8 narrow alley, we dashed for 1t, stationing OAOCAVCS, V1lG VIb SesCk1 C4OCs
 Hitler Not Armed
 "Then as the man dashed by we stuck out our feet and tripped him up. He was unarmed, so we merely trussed up his arms and turned him over to the provost oflcer.
 Before the military police he gave his name as Adolf Hitler and at once launched into a long tirade.
 "rhe next day Hitler was turned over to the German civilian police and they kept him moving from city to city, wherever he provoked a riot, while all the military police were mo- tified to pick him up st any time and turn him over the local German authorities.
 Two months afterwards was re- turned to the United States and to my home at Oakland, and never heard of Adolf Hitler again until his name began to appear in the news in 1926"
 Boswell said that while Hitler was making his Maven speech he still talked in the accent of his native Austria. He had his toothbrush" mustache at that time, too.

Boswell saw a years action in France with Company F of the 50th Infantry. He was wounded and gassed but after his recovery served another year and half with the American army of occupation in the Rhineland. It was at Maven, in Octo- Der, 1920, that he and Corporal Jef- ries of the same company arrested Hitler when the latter was an l1a- known agitator.
 "The American army of occupation at Mayen," Boswell said, twas at one time left alone to police the en- tire city, which has 50,000 inhabi- tants, while other Allied contingents went to simulate war maneuvers near the Polish front, but which in reality was intended as an effort to halt the Russians who were then threatening to move in through Po- land on an armyleSs Germany.
 Guarded Munitions Stores
 we had a big job on our hands, because in addition to policing the city in general, we were charged with the protection of the bridge heads and the ammunition stores. The result was that any agitator that showed up usually got short shrift.
