s British Shipping Lost
London, July 2-(UP)-The adj
miralty said today that in one week
German and italian attacks had
sunk 1921 tons-the greatest to-
tai Of the war-of British, Allied
and neutral shipping but naval
sources said the increase in the
number of U-boats in action "is not
alarming"
For the first time it was admitted
that Italian submarines are taking
. toll of British and Allied shipping
IN the Mediterranean, but experts
said the losses there had not been
heavy and that IL italian Subma-
rineS had been sunk.
The record toll of shipping losses
was for the week ending June %
and compared with the loss Of 852,-
900 tons of shipping in April, 1917,
at the height of unrestricted Ger
man U-boat warfare which threat
ened British supply lines.
One important factor in the ship
ping losses for the week ending
June % was that the evacuation of
British forces from France was then
in progress and losses obviously
were increased as result of the
concentration of vessels within easy
range of German airplanes.
No Cause For Alarm
Naval experts who said the in
creased number of U-boats in action
was not cause for alarm under
stood that they had been operating
chiefly along the western ap-
proaches to the Bay of Biscay.
At least some of the U-boats must
have been based at occupied French
ports, it was stated.
The admiralty pointed out that,
! despite the heavy losses in that week
the actual tonnage position Of Brit
ain was better at present than it
! was 10 months ago, due to new con-
! struction, capture of enemy ships

and transfers from other flags. Ger
man losses up to June 30, 1t stated,
were about $4,000 tons and italian
losses 1900 tons. The British losses
in recent weeks have been steady
but not as high as during the week
ending June %.
OF French Coast
OF the total, 3O,446 tons of British
and 5000 tons of neutral shipping
was lost in operations of the
French coast, including the embark
alton of the British Expeditionary
Force and hence was not attributable
to ordinary mercantile shipping
losses, it was pointed out.
An authoritative source said that
German claim to the torpedoing of
British cruiser of the Orion class
was without foundation.
Shipping losses were the heavi-
est of any week of the war and, in
Guiding those lost in the French
operations, approached the average
weekly losses for April 1917, at the
height of German unrestricted sub
marine warfare, when 1000 tons of
British, Allied and neutral shipping
were sunk.
Naval informants said increased
mercantile shipping losses were due
mainly to increased submarine activ-
ity, partly to italian activity in the
Mediterranean.
The admiralty emphasized thai
actual mercantile losses were q ships
with total tonnage of 129,445, in
Guiding eight British ships, repre-
senting 57,813 tons; eight Alleid ships
36,750 tons and II neutral ships, a.
1872 tons.
Germans Bomb Again
London, July 2.-(UP)-German
air fleets, harbingers of an attempt
at mass invasion, bombed England,
Scotland and Wales internationally
all night.
They killed IL persons and wound
ed IS in town on the northeast
coast of Scotland, caused fires in a
northeast England town and demol-
ished several houses in Wales.
In the Scots town, the German
raiders destroyed a row of houses
including a tailor shop, a grocer's
shop and a confectionery shop.
Four children playing in the street
were killed. Two women and a man
were killed in the grocer's shop.
Firemen fought for hours before
they put out one fire in a northeast
England town.
One woman, the only casualty, was
wounded when the Welsh homes
were demolished.
Southwestern England was bombed
but it was reported that most bombs
dropped into the Bristol Channel or
in open country, and it was report
ed that the only material damage
was to windows.
Anti-aircraft fire was general over
sections of northeast, northwest and
southwest England; Wales and
Scotland, and air ministry commu-
niques indicated that many British
fighter planes went up to challenge
the raiders.
Reports of German plane losses
were incomplete but it had been as
serted last night that two German
planes had been shot down by Royal
Air Force fighters over the north
west coast.

said. 1t said British planes at
tempted to raid Massawa, big italian
base in Eriterea, "but prompt action
by italian fighter planes shot down
two enemy raiders and anti-air-
craft guns of the italian navy
brought down another enemy plane
in flames, obliging thee nemy bomb
ers to withdraw"
According to the communique
enemy planes have bombed Aug
usta Sicily but the prompt defense
of navy anti-aircraft guns thwarted
the attack"
The communique said that one
British plane was shot down In the
Sicily raid and that damage done
by the raiders was insignificant.
Three civilians were wounded, gen.
eral headquarters said.
Balkans Not Troublesome
| Fascist quarters said today that
the flareup in the Balkans was fast
subsiding and that Italy and Ger
many were making final plans for
their invasion of Great Britain.
They said that Russia's ambitions
in southeastern Europe had been
satisfied temporarily, at least, by
the occupation Of Rumania's Bess-
arabia and North Bukovina province
and that Hungary and Bulgaria had
been given to understand that their
claims against Rumania would have
to wait until the war In western Eu-
rope was settled.
Reports of incidents on the Ru-
manian- Hungarian and Rumanian-
Bulgarian borders were dismissed
here as OF "local Importance" only.
The authoritative Giornale DItalia
and other newspapers reported
clashes between Jews and Chris
tians in Rumania but said they oc-
Cured mostly in areas which Ru-
manian troops had evacuated, and
before Soviet troops arrived. 1t was
reported that 280 Jews had been ex-
ecuted by police and private citizens
for "their massacres Of Christians
and that 400 other Jews had escaped
only with police protection In one
outbreak.
News from the Balkans was now
subordinated in Italian newspapers
however, to articles commenting on
the situation in western Europe.

Berlin, July 2-(UP)-A high
command communique today said
German airplanes had struck at the
British isles from the Bristol chan
mel to northeast Scotland and seven

T Rumania's remuneration of the Brit
ish pledge-which was made by Bri-
tain on its own initiative and with
out negotiations so far as is known
-as meaning that Rumania hemmed
in by Russia, Bulgaria and Hungary
had thrown itself into the arms of
Germany. In some quarters belief
was expressed that Germany had
now begun to have misgivings over
Russia's seizure of Bessarabia and
northern Bukovina, despite asser-
tions both at Moscow and Berlin
that there was no Russian German
| friction.
Britain Accused
The sensational pro-German and
pro-Italian newspaper Curuntul in
a leading editorial accused Britain
OF encouraging Russian invasion
of Rumania as means of Destroy
ing Rumanias oil wells and thereby
cutting an important source of sup
ply to Germany.
Curuntul appealed to Rumanians
to remain calm, to give the Russians

and to avoid private initiative
against provoking jews" (Curuntul
is anti-Jewish.)
Diplomats believed that German
interest in Rumania might result in
the cessation, for the present at
least, of incidents on the Hungarian
and Bulgarian frontiers of Rumania.
The foreign Office now minimized
the Importance of such incidents as
had been reported.
In connection with reports that
200 German military planes had ar
rived In Rumania, the United Press
reported on June 81 that 200 German
MeSserschmldt fighters had arrived

World After War
Berlin, July Observation-Disclosures
German quarters painted a roseate
picture today of the world after "the
final German victory.
Europe's prosperity, said the Ger
man quarters, "can hardly be i'm
agined," once British financial power
is broken and full use is made of
the fantastic industrial and col
onial resources" which will become
available.
The statement was issued, 1t was
said, to correct "the idea current
in Britain and also partly in the
United States that a German victory
means breakdown of the good, old
world, and general hardships."
Glimmerings of the new world or
der, said the authorized quarters,
are already visible in the "lun be-
fore the final storm against Bri-
tain"
These glimmerings were specified
as the statements Of the Jugoslav
premier sympathIzing with German
ambitions, the fact that Sweden
had agreed to deliver her entire
wood and cellulose output to Ger
many, the increase of Finnish trade
deliveries to Germany rs per cent
over 1899, and the "boom" in the
Norwegian fishing and wood indus
tries as a result of German pur-
chaSeS.
The authorized quarters said Ger
man industry could reduce arms pro-
duction in view of the expected
nearness of victory" and start con-
centrating on increased production
Of export goods.
1t was added that German SOL
diers are helping to reconstruct
devastated parts Of Rotterdam and
Utrecht and are also busy convert
ing the Antwerp Notifications into
what was described as "a belt OF
parks"

Saxon also was expected to assist
the nominee in other capacities.
Republicans were jubilant because
they believed WILKES nomination
would bring support and campaign
funds from sources which hitherto
had remained aloof from politics.
In that connection, it was re-
ported that both Governor Baldwin
and State Chairman Benjamin E.
Hardwood would meet this week
with leaders of the "Willkie-for-
president" organizations which
were formed in Connecticut during
the past few weeks.
The question of a u. S. senatorial
candidate was bothering many state
leaders. Informed quarters said the
candidacy of Paul Cornell Washing
ton, Conn, school headmaster, had
"fizzled".
With WILKES nomination, it was
believed the senatorial nomination
now had become lucrative one,
and that candidates would be forth
coming shortly.

mania in this case. Hungary never
has been so united as in these days
and she is ready for all sacrifices
even bloody ones"
Horvath said that Bessarabians
and northern Bukovinians had been
sent into Pennsylvania to deprive
Hungarians of their land and he
said that military acquisitions had
assumed the character of robbery.

greeting the day when, after the
collapse of Czechoslovakia, second

friends, Germany and Italy award
just demands to Hungary and will
help in their fulfillment."
Horvath made his speech in the
course of questioning of Foreign
Minister Count Stefan Czaky re-
garding the condition of Hungar-
ians in Pennsylvania. 1t brought
spirited applause and the deputies
stood during playing of the national
anthem.
Cabinet In Session
The cabinet met for four hours
last night. It had been expected
that after the meeting an order fol
mobilization would be issued. 1t was
understood that it had decided
there should be no general mobili-
zation just now.
In diplomatic quarters it was re.
ported that after visit by the Gers
man minister, Otto Won Erdmanns-
doff, to Count Stephen Czaky, for
eign minister, yesterday afternoon
the possibility was being considered
of the establishment Of one
kilometer (5-8 mile) neutral zone
on each side of the frontier, in Or
der to minimize the danger OF fur
ther incidents.
There was considerable tension
still, however, and public opinion
wavered between the alternatives
of action to get pack Transylvanis
and reconciliation and appease'
ment.
For the present, to Hungary's de-
mand for an explanation of frontier
clashes, of Rumanian mobilization
and of the pushing of Rumaniar
troops up to the frontier line, had
been answered by a Rumanian as
surance that all measures were
taken solely for Rumanian interna.
reasons.
Now Hungary, thought ready tc
support its claims, was still in the
position of not having advanced toe
far to make peacable negotiations
possible. 1t was reported that Hun.
gary had put out diplomatic feelers
to Rumania through an informed
larry at Belgrade, Jugoslavia.
Hence the situation remained bal.
anced, if still dangerous, possibly
pending a decision by Germany and
italy on Russia's real aims In SOUTH

Travel Proposed
On TWA Air Route

SAN FRANCISCO. March 90.
UP)-ErneSt Smith, San Francisco
manager for Transcontinental West
ern Air. Inc, announced today TWA
in applying formally for rights to
provide service between San Fran
cisco and eastern points by way of
Los Angeles was ready to Use STRAIT
osphcrc planes on the augmented
route.
Smith said that planes equipped
for high level flying could be placed
in operation by summer if the
application is approved.
The Civil Aeronautics Authority,
to whom the application was sub
mitted. said no date has been set
for the hearings on the TWA bid
which would place the airline in
competition with United AirlineS in
the San Francisco-Los Angeles bus
mess.
TWA presently operates two
planes daily out of San Francisco to
Las Vegas where they connect with
the Los AngeleS-NeW York line.
Smith said that if direct operation
between San Francisco and Los An
geleS were approved, the triangular
leg would be abandoned and 500. DOC
appropriated for lighting the San
Francisco Fresno-LaS Vegas route
would be saved.
