Virtual destruction of the great seaport of Hamburg is claimed by an authoritative British source while Germany countered with 8 statement that her own raiders had struck new devitalizing blows at the British merchant fleet.
 The British source declares that Hamburg has been destroyed by constant raids of the Royal Air Force.
 Bremen Bombed
 Thousands If bombs have also been rained on the port of Bremen with its shipbuilding yards, docks and aircraft factory.
 More than 100 other German towns and cities have been bombed during recent weeks, many of them military objectives.
 The Nazis claim today that the German Air Force sunk large merchantmen, tanker and mine pa- troler yesterday evening and dam- aged one submarine returning to base. A total of 72,000 tons O. shipping Is reported by the Nazis to have been sunk in the past 4S hours
 Bombing Attacks
 German fliers continued bomb ing attacks on England today and planes also showered Hitler's peace or destruction" pamphlets on the British fleet in the Mediterranean.
 On Southern Front
 The Royal Air Force claims de- struction of a large Italian muM- tion dump in Libya.
 It is claimed that a British bat tleShip was set afire by Italian bombers in the Mediterranean and several other warships were hit. One British submarine, the Os- wald, is reported to have been tor pedoed and sunk.
 About That Blitzkrieg
 Britishers are skeptical over tha German statements that the bliz- krieg may be postponed indefi- nitely as they favor bomb attacks, air raids and undersea blockade. British observers said the almanac indicates that next Monday to Friday. the time of high tides and favorable weather, would be most favored for a general assault on the British Isles.

WASHINGTON - Now that the job of nominating presidential can- didates is over, the Nations Capi- tai is settling back to the main problem before it-that of national defense.
 Both branches of the service are in the hands of two brand new cabinet officers, both Republicans, and both keeping politics strictly out of the Army and Navy. In the case of the former, Henry L. Stim- son has a far more difficult prob- lem on his hands than when he served as Secretary of War in the Taft Administration.
 He is up against the fact that for exactly 20 years-ever since the World War-the United States Army has been as moribund and anti auated as the Indian forts which 1t still maintains on the Western lTairieS.
 Here is EXAMPLE NO. of k,hat Secretary Stimson is up 3 gainSt.
 If a foreign power wanted to ,ubdue the United States, it's most logical strategic move would be to establish line through Detroit or Cleveland south to the Ohio River. This would cut the industrial East from the agricultural West. It would sever almost every rail line running between New York and Philadelphia to the Middle West. It would stop iron ore shipments from the lake regions. It would starve out New York.
 Yet although Army officers ad- init this is the strategic area they will have to defend, the oyerwhelm- ing mass of U. s. troops today is located in the South and West in the wide open spaces which they may never have to defend.

ARE REFUGEES

PANAMA, Aug. 2.-It is officially said here that the 81 persons held for deportation are mostly Europ- can refugees, some Germans, and mostly stowaways who fled from ships here.
 Steamship lines are responsible for bringing them here and may be required to return them although it may be difficult to take them to countries now at war.
