Dutch in New York

With little Holland much in the
news these days, it is interesting to
note that Dutch was the language of
instruction on Manhattan island for
$50 years. The first school in the
New World was established in what
was then Nieuw Amsterdam, a
Dutch settlement, in 1888 and in
struction was continued in the Dutch
language until 1888. The school was
established by the West India COM
pany for the children of its colonists.

Losses of Britain


London, April % - (UP0 - Lord
Hankey, minister without portfolio,
told the House of Lords today that
Great Britain's sea losses in Nor
Wegian waters since Germany en-
tered Scandinavia were three des-
troyers, one submarine and one
traWler sunk and the destroyer
Hardy beached with damage.
Hankey declared that one cruis-
er and two destroyers were damaged
but were able to return to their
bases. He said the battleships Re-
nown and Rodney were hit but not
seriously damaged and their fight
ing efficiency was in no way affect
ed.
-Four other destroyers, he as
serted, suffered slight damage and
three cruisers were slightly hit by
bomb splinters.
Hankey claimed that German as
sertions of British losses were ris-
ing in direct proportion to actual
German losses.
Lord Hankey, referring to Ger
man losses, said that there was
every reason to believe that the
German pocket battleship Admiral
Scheer had been most seriously
damaged when torpedoed by Brit
iSh submarine.
He also said that the Nazi bat
tleship Scharnhorst had been dam
aged during a battle with the H. M :.
S. Renown and that reports from
Norway said the German battleship
GneiSenau was sunk.
He said the Germans admitted
loss of two cruisers and that the
British air fleet had scored hits on
two other cruisers" which are be-
lieved to have been sunk.

on the Oslo front and that the AL
lies were continuing to land troops
without difnculty on the Norwegian
coast.
Despite the necessary secrecy with
which the Allies are surrounding
their operations, the informant said,
the Allies have achieved important
land and air successes.
He asserted that there had been
a notable" slackening not only OF
German ships but of German air
activity in Norway.
The informant said that official
reports regarding Sweden LED
French officials to believe that there
was a strong possibility of German
land, air and naval action against
Sweden in the near future.
The German press opened an at
tack on Sweden today, warning the
Stockholm government that it would
be bitterly serious" to permit Swed-
ish newspaper to continue publlca-
ton of dispatches rejecting on the
Nazi armed forces.
Nazis Are Critical
The influential newspaper Nacht
Ausgabe sharply criticized the
Swedish newspaper Svenska Dag
bladet on the grounds that it pub
lished dispatch from Trondheim
saying that German flyers had ma
chine gunned women and children
as they fled across fields.
1.-THE report undoubtedly origi-
mated with the Jewish president OF
the Norwegian parliament, j. G..
Hambro," the newspaper asserted.
IF Swedish officials permit this
Jewish clique to defame the Ger
man army and publish atrocity
stories which concern the honor of
the German soldier this affair Will
become bitterly serious.
Stockholm should clearly under
stand this in good time"
Western Front Activities
This mornings army commun1que
said that there was nothing to re-
port on the western front.
A military informant supple
mented this official version how
ever, by reporting isolated Germany
activity in the Med and Moselle
sectors.
French artillery dispersed German
infantry which was moving out in
an attempt to contact French adj
vanced posts.
Airplane activity continued strong
on both sides.
German planes made eight recon-
Nuisance flights over northeastern
France yesterday and French planes
made flights deep into Germany.
They also made numerous photo
graphic and observation flights over
the German lines.
Anti-aircraft guns fired steadily
for IS minutes in the Paris area
just after midnight this morning,
and searchlights played the over
cast sky.

Nazi Transports On Way
Stroemstad, Sweden, April % -
(UP)-Four large German trans
ports escorted by two destroyers
were sighted early today moving
north along the Swedish coast.
They were believed to be en- route
to Norway with reinforcements.
The transports were observed by
the keeper of the Jutholmen light
house about 5 a. m.
Several hours later about dozen
warships were spotted far off the
coast. These were believed to be
British destroyers seeking the Ger
man transport fleet.
The destroyers were visible for
about two hours and finally disap-
peared to the south.
Gunfire vas heard off the coast
several times during the morning.
1t was particularly loud about 10

thast 81 of 80 employees were against

Whatever the outcome of the
strike, Mr.. Tata said, the union will
cite the Worden firm before the Ma
tional Labor Relations Board for
alleged intimidation of employees. He
charged that threats had been made
against union members working at
the dairy.
Other Complaints
Complaints to local health au-
thorities were also threatened by
the union leader, who declared that
''coal beavers" were being used in
bottling and distributing milk. La
borers employed by the McElligott
Fuel Corporation, he claimed, were
brought to the dairy yesterday and
today to replace some of the Strik.
erS.
MIR. Tata also hit at the COM
pany's action in hiring policemen,
declaring that use of officers was en-
tirely unnecessary. The union, he
said, intended to carry on the strike
in orderly fashion.
Ten picketS were in front of the
plant from 6 to 8 o'clock this morn
ing, but the number was reduced to
two and three thereafter. The strik-
ers were in session during the day
at union headquarters.

night and today. He conferred with
Mr.. Tata and Superintendent Roach
last night, then announced that de-
livery of milk to hospitals, children
and the sick would not be interrupt
ed, no matter what steps were nee
eSsary. Mr.. Tata announced that the
union would aid in seeing to it that
milk was available for such cases,
inviting those whose supply was in
terrupted to notify the union by
telephoning 4-1271.
The strike was preceded by sew
eral meetings of union employees last
night. The Walkout was ordered by
international headquarters unless
the company signed new contract.
Petition Circulated
Mr.. Tata charged that Mr.. Nc
Elligott had circularized a petition
against the union among Worden
employees. He said that 40 workers
had been persuaded to sign the
petition, which declared against a
union contract.
The Worden firm followed its de-
livery schedule this morning by
using striking drivers and plac-
ing INSIDE" men on the trucks and
wagons.
Mr.. McElligoott claimed last night
that the union represented only a
fraction of the dairy employees. Il

as there was no yeast 1t was difficult

conf1scating most Of the food held
by Norwegians, had begun to run

An authorized Norwegian army

Rombak heights across a narrow
ford, and 1900 about Is miles north
of Narvik near Gratangsholm, on

British troops were reported to
have landed at Falgerness fishing
village, at the edge of Narvik and
to have taken the Falgerness heights
which dominate the town.
A second British force, it was as

Norway, to the village of Fjellnas on
the Swedish frontier, where SWed-
ish guard of honor will receive 1t
from the Norwegians probably this

by train to Stockholm.
The funeral car avoided main
highways because German planes

Loseys body arrived at Roeros at
8 p. m. Monday. Tovrnspeople, who
had had no previous news of his
death, crowded around the U. S. le-
