WAR AT SEA:
British Losses

Britain was not hiding the fact
that continued loss of freighter YES
sells was seriously interfering with
the conduct of the overseas supplies.
Neutral estimates have put the
losses at 100000 tons out of an
available 100000. The rate of
slnkings has gone up sharply since
June. Prime Minister Churchill told
commons the losses were more seri
ouz than air raids and said the Brit
ish must expect even. heavier at
tacks next spring. He sounded out
Ireland on the use of bases there
but Fire President De Valera re-
iected the bid.
One day Berlin announced that a
convoy of 20 British ships had been
attacked and sunk. It was believed
a sea raider of the pocket battleship
type was at large in the north At
lantic.
But three days later, London re-
ports of the attack on the same con-
voy varied greatly from this Berlin
dispatch.
Said the British: A German pocket
battleship overlook a British con-
voy of 38 ships and a dramatic and
heroic episode of the sea was then
enacted.
The British armed merchant
cruiser, Jervis Bay, steamed directly
at the more heavily gunned and ar
mored German ship and engaged in
combat. Though outclassed, the gal
liant crew Of the Jervis Bay contin-
ued Smelling their enemy until at
least 20 of the other ships of the
convoy had made their escape un-
der smoke screens. In the end the
Jervis Bay was lost and Captain
Fogarty Fegen, wounded in the bat
tie, went down with his ship.
Italian Losses
Reports from London also told of
a smashing bombing attack upon
Italy's navy, anchored in the Medi-
terranean port of Taranto British
planes operating from an aircraft
carrier were reported to have put
out of action two battleships, two
cruisers and two auxiliary craft and
severely damaged third battleship
Aircraft were used in the attack,
according to London, because the
harbor is too heavily fortified for
surface craft to approach it. While
the Italians described these reports
as fantastic" if they are true, it
means that English domination of
the Mediterranean is assured for
some time to come. The vessels
sunk or damaged represent about
one-haf of Italy's full fighting
strength of larger vessels.
POST ELECTION:
The aftermath
Rumors of changes in the cabinet
were given scant attention by Presi-
dent Roosevelt, although there are
excellent indications some will be
made when the new administration
officially starts January 20. Secre-
tary Of Interior Harold Ickes was
the first to submit his resignation.

FOUR HORSEMEN:
Var

Greece is connected to Fascist
held Albania by three highways run
ming through deep mountain passes.
Down these three highways marched
Mussolini's blackshirt legions in the
first week of his war with Greece.
Back up the highways hurried what
was left of the divisions in the sec
ond week.
The Greeks, outnumbered two to
one. reported they had pushed the
invaders back on the northern and
central front. On the southern front
they also claimed victory, said a
complete Italian division was sur
rounded and wiped out.
England, still pounded by German
warplanes, saw the Tower of Lon
don, ancient prison where famous
prisoners were confined in the Eliza
bethan era, smashed by a bomb.
One night the raiding planes had an
unaccuStomed hum. The English
guessed they were Italians, a guess
confirmed when one was shot down.
The Italian onslaught brought de-
mands in London for a raid on
Rome, treasured architectural city
until now protected by agreement.
Said George Bernard Shaw,
There is no reason why Rome
should not have it. If only people
were not killed and we could select
the places to be bombed, l would
welcome an attack on London. They
are knocking down a good many
things we should have knocked down
ourselves long ago."
Germany was being torn by tons
of explosives also. When Adolf Hit
Ter visited the Munich beerhall, Nazi
shrine, Raj. fiiers sought out the
place and dropped explosives. Hit
Ter cancelled the broadcast of his
annual speech. The raiders found
the spot just an hour after the adj
dress and sent high German officials
scurrying to shelters.
Likewise when Soviet Premier
Molotoff and 80 trade and CONNER
cial advisers came to Berlin, the
route over which their private train
passed was bombed. The visiting
diplomats escaped injury. The fol-
lowing day Molotoff and Hitler held
a three-hour conference during
which it is believed the course of
the two nations in relation to the
Balkan countries was decided.
Death
The Pale Horseman rode over Eu-
rope in more than war. An earth
quake shook Rumania killing an es-
timated 1000 and causing millions
of dollars of property damage. De-
stroyed also we're some of the pro-
life Rumanian oil wells which have
been supplying Adolf Hitler with the
gasoline needed for his war ma
chine.
Famine
Unable to ship food through the
British blockade, the American Red
Cross prepared to close all its sta
tons in occupied and unoccupied
France. All Europe was under
strict rationing.
PestiLence
How long England holds out may
depend indirectly more than directly
on Nazi bombs. Millions of people
we're crowded into air raid shelters
night after night, in foul air and
weakened by loss Of sleep. It Is
feared this may bring epidemics as
soon as spring arrives.
On the continent, other millions,
enfeebled by lack Of proper nutri-
ton, also are susceptible to disease.

Winter Comes
To WoshinRton

Washington in the autumn moves
from bright water-color to a soft
pastel, and then the foliage fades TO
a dark oil painting Of rich browns.
At last comes the steel engraving Of
winter.
We are now between the oil paint
ing and the steel engraving. The
burning yellow of the Gingkoes (the
maiden-hair tree, some call it) have
laid their last golden carpet on the
west side Of Lafayette square, that
historic quadrangle Of green oppo-
site the White House.
A few sturdy oaks cling to their
rich, saddle-leather brown. The
Gingkoes are now bare. There are
many OF these attractive trees in
Washington. They love cities, shar-
ing the fumes of gas and smoke with
the rest Of us and hourishing on it.
have leaf from one planted in
the city of Weimar by the poet
Goethe. His city of study and re-
fection-the city that gave birth to
the Inflated German Republic after
the last war.
That tree hope still blooms. Il
does unless the Nazis have uprooted
its beauty because it is non-Aryan.
Nature knows no politics, and laughs
at our tickle changes. The Cling
koes will bloom long after our civil
cation is forgotten.
History repeats but II also re-
verses itself. Once the American
settlers we're given or could buy
government land. Now Uncle Sam
buys 500, 900 acres from his citizens.
As part Of the defense program
the war department through the soil
conservation service has purchased

Sill, Oklahoma; Fort Devans, Mas

Greek People
Wholly United

The war came close to me again
the other day when stepped on the
soil OF another belligerent. 1t was
shortly after the Italians had
crossed the border from Albania,
and the Greeks had met this new
invasion from the west as they met
the Persian invasion from the east
$50 years before.

because the embassies and lega-
tons OF a foreign power are con-
sidered a part of the territory of
that power no matter where they
are located. The house which il a

IT" offense was employed be
fore the football world ever

knute Rockne once used q form
of the IT" dropped II when the
one-second rule gave the defense
time TO shift To meet the attack.
Success OF the 1910 streamlined
version depends on adept han
ding Of the ball from center, ex-
pert timing, finesse and a good
passing attack. Passes must be a
constant threat.
The Bears used Sid LucEman.
stanford uses frankie Albert.
They handle the ball on all plays.
From the 1T" formation any
one of the backs shifts TO the left
or right. A man in motion il
