Nine German Speed Boats
Tackle Four of Bril-
tain'S Fleet
BRITISH DESTROYERS
DAMAGED in FIGHT
German Torpedo Fleet
Fled After Is Minutes
of Stiff Fighting
BY WALLACE CARROLL
UNITED Press Staff Correspondentl

London, July 26. - CUP
- The first real Eattle of tor
pedo boats off the English
coast was disclosed today as
Great Britain renewed a
stubborn and effective fight
against Germany's aid and
sea offensive. The battle
between nine German motor
torpedo boats and two Brit
isl1 torpedo boats and two destroyers
was fought during a sea and air
engagement around a British con-
voy and the admiralty said the
German ships fled after Is minutes,
laying down a smoke screen that
hid the damage inflicted on them.
Two more German 4 bombing
planes were brought down up to
mid afternoon and the British
trawler Fleming was sunk as the
Nazis resumed aerial raids on coast
al shipping and land detectives that
cost them an asserted loss Of %
airplanes-a record for the war-in
the previous "a hours.
The Admiralty admitted the dam
aging of two destroyers, including
the 1,360-ton Boreas, the sinking Of
ave small ships andy tibet damaging
of five others in a powerful Ger
man air attack on a convoy yester-
day. (The Germans claimed to
have sunk II out of % ships in the
convoy. and to have destroyed a to-
tai of $1,000 tons of ships.)
Hit Amiships
The trawler Fleming was hit
amidships and sank during action
between two of our trawlers and
four German dive bombers," the
Admiralty said, but it was during
the big battle over the British con-
voy yesterday that torpedo boats of
both nations went into action in
major operation for the first time.
Nine German boats and two Bril-
fish torpedo boast as well as two
British destroyers- in
Guiding the Boreas-were engaged
In the battle around the convoy of
81 small vessels, according to the
Admiralty.

War Moves On
Today's Board
BY ]. w. T. MASON
UNITED Press War Expert)

Extension of the British blockade
to Portugal and Spain is Great Bri-
tain's reply to agitation among pro-
Nazi Spaniards for an attack
against Gibraltar. Essential Span
ish supplies are now locked out OF
the country, especially oil, without
which a continuous offensive against
Gibraltar would be difficult with
slight hope of success.
Great Britain, however. has
agreed to allow Spain to import
enough wheat for present consump-
ton. This concession implies that
the Spanish government has no
considerable quantity Of grain in
storage, which is another reason why
Spain can Ill afford to become a
belligerent. The wheat supply,
granted by Britain, would be cut
off if General Franco succumbed to
the extremists who want to assault
Gibraltar and the Spanish people
would go hungry from the firing OF
the first gun.
The German and italian propa-
ganda services have recently ceased
to discuss impending attacks on Gil
braltar, as though there were little
present hope that Spain could be
induced to risk so grave an adven-
ture. The Spaniards look long
ingly toward the Rock, but Great
Britain's control of the seas makes
the British fleet master of the sit
uation.
Under Blockade
The whole Atlantic and North
Sea coast of Europe is now under
British blockade, constituting Bril-
tain's Tightening squeeze against
Germany. Important evidence OF
the increasing effect of the blockade
is contained in the announcement
that Danish cattle is being slaught-
cred for food under German orders
because there is not enough fodder
to keep the animals as productive
supplies for milk and butter.
Denmark has not enough grazing
land for her great dairy farms ant
has been accustomed to import cat,
tie fodder to sustain her herds. Ger
many, likewise. has insufficient gras
for cattle and two years before tn
war began the German government
was forced to limit fodder. Tn
British blockade. cutting Of
DANISH supplies, has made the &C
cupation Of Denmark Of no NOR
than temporary use to Germany, q
far as food Is concerned.
Cattle can be killed only one
But II they could be maintaine

Review of Recordings

The Victor people have come for
ward with . new idea which will
undoubtedly be Of great value to the
cause Of music in this country. The
company has released this week q
new 3eries Of fine Victor records,
named BLACK Seal Label Classics, -
4 set Of popular editions at q price
accessible to all pocketbooks, no
matter how modest, consisting Of
Implications of master matrices
which had been kept in large air
conditioned vaults In the Camden
factory Of RCA-Victor.
It appears that for many years
the company has been compiling
matrices Of master works here and
abroad, awaiting an opportune
moment to release them. Inspired
by the success Of book publishers
who have reprinted standard works,
at lowered prices without diminish
ing the quality Of the printing or
Of the paper, 1t was decided to
emulate them with recordings.
The time seemed ripe now to
throw open the doors of their
treasure chest" and to give out
albums and single discs of these
cherished Implications for the en-
joyment Of laymen and music stu
dents alike. Made with extreme
care, in accordance with all avail
able new devices for smooth re-
cordings, these releases are noted for
their fine quality Of tone, practically
free from unavoidable noises. The
product is Of the same high quality
which characterizes the manufac-
turing process Of this company.
This new output is to supplement
the red seal library in which stand
ards and traditions have been estab-
lished and maintained by the worlds
greatest interpreters and artists, and
while some Of these artists may per-
form for the Black Seal library their
recordings will in no way conflict
with their previous ones. On the
contrary, they will augment the in
dividual library Of discs by each.
Thus. the public may select 10
and IL inch records OF the choicest
arias such as Wagner's "Isolde's
Love-Death," sung by Jeritza; Mad
Scene" from Lucia di Lammer-
moor" interpreted by Toti Dal
Monte; two famous selections from
Samson and DaIla" and the
'Prophete," presented by Margaret
Matzenauer; American classics and
popular songs. recorded by Amelita
Cali -Curci, John Mccormack, Rein
