to Scandinavia, the route across
the Baltic between Germany and
Sweden's iron ore ports.
The narrow entrances to the
Baltic, virtually impregnable to
naval attack without violation OF
Danish or Swedish neutrality

to concentrate on Germany's outer
Scandinavian lifeline.
In this connection, with the Brit

Danish territorial waters are a reg

a ticklish position.

Bomb Hits on Hood
And Ark Royal Are
Claimed by Italy
High Commend Gives More
Details of Battle of
Mediterranean
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ROME, July l1.-Bomb hits on
two of the mightiest units of the
British f1eet-the battle cruiser
Hood and the aircraft carrier Ark
Royal-were announced today by
the Italian high command, fitting
further details into the Italian ac-
count Of Mondays and Tuesdays
battle Of the Mediterranean.
The 42,100-ton Hood, the worlds
largest warship, was said by the
Italian communique to have been
set aflre, while two heavy bombs
fell on the deck of the 22,OOO- ton
Ark Royal.
cThe British Admiralty issued
a formal denial of the Italian
claim)
The attack was delivered Tuesday
south of the Balearic Islands, on a
British squadron which had come
out from Gibraltar apparently seek
ing a western Mediterranean fight
in conjunction with the British and
Italian naval engagement at the
same time in the Ionian Sea.
Air Attack Begun Clash.
The Ionian clash itself had
started out as an Italian air attack
on a British battle squadron on
Monday and, through a westward
movement of the British, became on
tuesday clash of warships.
The italian command yesterday
had limited its announcement OF
results in the Balearic zone engage
ment to the statement that the
British formation was subjected to
violent, day-long bombing, with evil
dence of effective results
In the tabulation of battle results,
Italy now claims:
Bomb damage to the Hood and
Ark Royal;
The believed" sinking of a
Warship-"probably battleship'::
The sinking of destroyer, and
Serious bomb damage to an un-
speclfled number of other un-
identified war vessels, including
battleship.
Italy acknowledges:
Loss of the destroyer Zeffiro,
l073 tons:
Loss of submarine and four
warplanes. and
A British hit on warship
which killed % crewmen and in
jured SO.
The Italian high command re-
ferred to the Hood as a battle
/ ship, although technically she is
a battle cruiser, so listed in the
naval manual, James Fighting
Ships.
although she is the worlds
largest warship. her armor is
lighter than that of battleships.
