BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN, April 13.-Germany
challenged the full power of her foes
tonight to break her steadily -rein-
forced hold on Norway and Denmark
as she consolidated her gains amid
furious British thrusts from the air
and acclaimed the sinking of two
British submarines by her own war
birds.
The German position in Scandi-
navia is impregnable against the
mightiest blows the enemy possibly
can deliver" authorized commenta-
tors proclaimed.
Their cry of defiance came at the
end of day in which main de-
velopments recorded by Germans
included:
l. Warplanes cruising over the
North Sea surprised two British
submarines as they came to the
surface and sank them at the same
time.
2. D. NJ B., official news agency,
took cognizance of reports abroad
that the 8,2s0-ton British cruiser
York had been sunk. It said it was
assumed that the York was the
vessel which the high command re-
ported hit twice by air bombs and
incapacitated two days ago.
3. German crews have taken over
all Norwegian war vessels found in
the Nazi occupation Of the northern
kingdom.
T. A steady stream Of German
soldiers continue to move across the
Skagerrak, reaching Oslo I'm large
numbers" while heavy artillery went
to Trondheim ~ to strengthen the
captured Norwegian coast defenses.
5. German penetration of the Nor,
wekian interior continued relenk
lesSly and m the far north their
troops took over the Narvik railway
which brings Swedish ore to the
Arctic.
6. British air attacks were in
effective, raiders losing IL planes
yesterday while the Germans were
losing five.
Mined Claims Scorned.
Germans were almost scornful of
British reports that the Skagerrak,
the Kattegat and the North Sea
were being mined to bottle up Ger
man shipping and naval vessels.
The British Navy cannot lay
mines in spots which its ships can
not reach" they said.
Yet, in the midst of all derogatory
references in the German press to
the British as a fighting nation,
many Germans feel Britain is pre-
pairing something unusual.
These sources said that Britain's
initial naval sally into Narvik last
Wednesday and action generally in
the North Sea has been "planless"
and from this they deduced the
present activity is desultory only be-
cause something methodical is in the
ofnng.
Swedes Seen Veering.
With Denmark under German
control and the campaign in Norway
proceeding, Sweden was seen by
Germans to be veering from what
was interpreted here as hostile neu-
trality toward Germany to benev-
olent neutrality.
The Swedish government, accord
Ing to information received in the
Wilhelmstrasse, appeared to have
given assurances that the press and
radio no longer would depend upon
news alleged to be Of British and
French origin and hence hostile to
Germany.
Informed sources asserted there

Hadassah Is Told

Increasing needs in Palestine, in
tensifled by refugees from Norway
and Denmark and by a new epi-
demic of malaria fever, we're de-
scribed by Mrs. Samuel w. Halprin
of New York and Palestine at the
annual spring luncheon of the
Washington Chapter Hadassah yes
terday at the Mayf1ower Hotel. Ap-
proximately 1900 members and
guests were in attendance.
HadaSsah, through its Youth
Allyah project, is now feeding and
caring for 10000 children, but the
needs are great and additional help
is required in order to care for all
those who are expected to take
refuge in Palestine, Mrs. Halprin
declared.
Malaria Was Controlled.
Recalling the days when Hadassah
first started its work in Palestine
in 1918, Mrs. Halprin said at that
time one of the first and most
important works was eradication
OF malaria, caused by numerous
sWamps on which new settlemenrs
were built. Through proper drain
age and efficient medical care ma
larla with time was brought under
control, she continued, but in the
last few months the malady again
has broken out due to new settle
ments, about 60 in number, which
have sprung up rapidly with an
influx of refugees.
Some of these settlements have
gone up in day." she explained
before it has been possible to drain
the lands properly" Mrs. Halprin
also said that increased responsible
ty had been brought to Hadassah
