Mediterranean Sector

Much of weeks news about fighting in
this area revolved around belated un-
folding of story of German-Italian air
assault upon British fleet.
Week ago yesterday first reports ap-
peared that axis planes had bombed
British convoy in narrow sea lane be-
tween Sicily and North Africa. Last
Tuesday. British Admiralty acknowledged
that concentration of German-I Italian
air fighters had raided convoy carrying
important material assistance for
Greece inflicting serious damage on
three of empires naval vessels

shortly after noon, attackers blasted in
waves at laboring convoy-defying hail
of anti-aircraft fire to swoop low over
enemy.
Principal target was royal aircraft car
rier Illustrious, 23000-ton craft Aboard
was A. P.'s Larry Allen, who wrote that
half-ton bombs shook giant ship "as
a cat shakes a rat" but that even after
100000 pounds of explosives had been
directed at vessel, her guns we're still
firing and she was still able to make
port at Malta.
Thinly yelled was his intimation that
one of earliest sticks" had effectively
damaged flight deck of carrier as he re-
marked that attack was slowed only in
first stages by single squadron of British
planes that was able to take off early
in raid.
On Friday, Rome claimed that second
axis air attack on Britain's great naval
base at Malta had brought new damage
to Illustrious, in addition to damaging
merchant vessel.
In earlier engagement. British also ad-
mitted damage to 9,100-ton cruiser
Southampton and to
Sinkino of 1925 ton destroyer
Southampton Gallant On Thurs
day, London ac-
knowledged further that bombing of
Southampton had been followed by fire
aboard forcing British crew eventually
to scuttle ship. Southampton was one
of two cruisers which escorted King
George and Queen Elizabeth on their
trip to America in summer of 1890
For their side of this greatest naval-air
engagement of Mediterranean, British
claimed to have sunk Italian destroyer
and two Italian supply ships, in addition
to bringing down u of attacking planes.

 GERMANS IN CHILE ARE
 MAINLY NATIVE BORN
 There are plenty of Germans in the country, and there Is capable di- rection from the German Embassy toward maintaining various German examinations for the collection of funds and spreading propaganda.
 The seriousness of the situation in southern Chile, however, where thero iS a big German population in and about the principal cities of Osorno, ValdlvIa, La Union, Porto Montt and Porto VeraS, has been vastly ex- nsgerated by some sources. This nrea was first settled by the Ger. mans in 1850 to 1854. The deseend- Ants of these settlers are now big industriallStS, shop or farm, owners and business men. It ifs true that some families still do not speak spanish and that the German lang uage may be heard everywhere.
 if tho United states, however, as ROing to continue to worry about Southern Chile and exert pressure on the Chilean govefn- mens to do something about that Seetian, then, tO be conslStent, it should start worrying about Gin.
