sighted a suspicious looking vessel few hundred miles northeast of where the Jervis Bay had fought. : . But the raiders do not always have 1t their own way. July 29 a big Ger man vessel encountered the British merchant cruiser Alcantara off the Brazilian coast. The 22,209-ton Brit isher exchanged shot for shot with the German and only put into Rio de Janerio when she received some bad hits. She was repaired and put to sea again.
 Similarly the big 20, ,102-ton armed merchant cruiser Carnarvon Castle on Dec. 5 fought an engagement with a masked German raider and put in to Montevideo for repairs. Presumably her antagonist was the same one the Alcantara fought last summer.

AWFUL CUTE, BUT
BY THE MAN IN THE TOWER
Good Evening.

Shes awful cute and wears her clothes So something or other, she's got six beaus; Her hair is curly, her eyes are blue, But she's a mean little thing, oh and ooh! She has clever line, and how she can dance! She leads right of with regular prance, She won beauty contest dressed in cotton, But her dispoSiton-it's simply rotten. She VOWS them with her batter, She patronizes clever natter, She has the come-hitfer in her eyes, But that gals temper is prize.

At Least One German Surface
 Vessel Loose In Atlantic Warspite Leads Frantic Chase
BY MILTON BRONNER NEA Service Staff Correspondent

Somewhere the South America batthp Warspte cruiser Enterprise racing looking raider be- to be the pocket Admiral Scheer.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-12-11

So once more, despite attempts of the Americas to keep the war out of the waters of the western hemisphere, savage sea battle may be fought of the South American coast. It is all part and parcel of the vast job of the British navy.
 The British admiralty, needing all the vessels it can spare to watch the North Sea, the English Channel and the Mediterranean, to convoy food ships across the Atlantic, and to cope with the increasing menace of German submarines, nevertheless has to face the new and increasing threat of German sea raiders.
 The respite gained when the Graf Spec was sunk was of short duration. Soon reports began coming in of new threats and new attacks. That these activities were not the deeds of one lone sea wolf was made evident by the seeming ubiquity of the raider. Sometimes it was described as a war vessel, sometimes as merchant fitted up as a raider.
