UNCLE RAYS CORNER

somaIland has been nicknamed
tne East Horn of Africa" This
name has been given because the
land juts out like a horn from the
eastern side of the continent.
In somaliland there is a river
which heads toward the sea but
doesn't reach it. 1t is called the
Webb Shebeli, and is about 100 miles
long.
Rising in the mountains of Ethi-
opia, the river flows southeastward
into Somaliland. After heavy rains
fall, it grows to good size, and
rtIshes toward the coast of the In
dian Ocean. The river comes with
IN II miles of the sea, but then it
strikes a row of sand dunes and
Ia turned aside. Before long it ends
m the region filled with the Bali
marshes.
That is the end of the river. so
far as the map shows it. Some of
the water, however, gets beyond the
marshes at certain times and
reaches another river, the Juba.
The Juba River takes the water to
the ocean.
Somahland is dry during the
greater part of the year. There are
light rains from October to Decem-
Der and heavy rains in May and
June.
Most of the land is half a mile

German Troops Smash
 British Hard At Crete
fContinued from Page 1.)

landings had been renewed Monday on Q large scale, including both par- achute and other forces as well as equipment.
 Dispatches indicated that the situation was increasingly serious. Unless censorship had concealed reinforcement of the allied force, 1t was believed that the British, New Zealand and Greek troops opposed 10 the Germans must De tiring as the battle of Crete entered it's scc- ond week, and the Germans were constantly receiving endorsements
 25,000 Troops There
 It was estimated now that the Germans must have between 26,00C and 28,0o0 men on the Island.
 Military experts suggested that German plans had gone awry at least to the extent that 1t was still necessary to throw air-borne troops into the battle on the 9th day.
 Three German air-borne divisions about 21,000 men, had been landed last week in addition to parachu- lists. The Times military expert suggested today that the German high command had found 1t neceS- sary to Ian dat least one additional air-borne division. There are but seven German air.borne divisions in all, 50 far as was known, and 1t had been believed that the Ger mans would hardly risk more than three In ( single engagement.
 The ability of the Imperial and Greek troops to hold out seemed matched with the ability of the Germans to supply their isolated air-bolno troops with food and munitions.
 More and more, military experts inclined to the belief that c good deal might depend on the aid the Royal Air Force was able to give the allied men aground. Unless the British air force could fiia- terially impede the flow Of troops and supplies, the Germans might land men indefinitely.
 An announcement that the Royal Air Force had destroyed 24 German planes In 0 single day raised hope here, but the Germans had uii- limited planes and were understood to be operating from eight Greek air bases.
 Axis Base Aiire
 Cairo, May 27 - (U.P) - Great fires yesterday swept Benghazi, ifii- portant Axis base in Libya, as c re. suit of . raid by British planes, Royal Air Force Middle East head quarters said today.
 Other British planes attacked enemy merchant ships of the North African Coast and raided an air- drome on the Island of scarpanto in the Italian Dodecanese Islands.
 "The harbor of Benghazi again was bombed yesterday" the corn- nunique said. "A number of fires were started on railway sidings and bursts were observed ct the tele. phone exchange and on the Quay between @ petrol depot and coaI stores.
 Tn the Mediterranean other op. erations yesterday included success. full attacks on enemy merchant yes. sels of the North African coast anc @ raid on an airdrome on the Island of Scarpanto."

 The Greyhound was of 1885 tons with 8 normal complement of l45 men.
 Reports Differ
 The British report of naval losses around Crete compared with Ger man claims that 25 British warcraft had been sunk and that the British naval domination of the eastern Mediterranean had been broken by the attacks of German and Italian airplanes and some Italian warships such as torpedo boats.
 The German high command had claimed that II of the 12 British cruisers in the eastern Mediterra- mean were sun and that eight de- stroyers, one submarine and five speedboats had been destroyed. Authoritative quarters confirmed that the cruisers Gloucester and Fiji and the destroyers Juno. Grey hound, Kelly and Kashnir had been sunk while two battlesnips and sev- erai other cruisers were damaged but not seriously, in the battle of Crete. It was said, however. that they had inflicted very heavy losses on German transport and caiques small Greek vessels pressed into ser i vice to carry troops.

 | NO CONSCRIPTION

London, May 27 = (U.P) - The British government has decided not to apply conscription to Ulster at present, 1t was learned reliably to- day.
 The decision followed conferences among Prime Minister Winston Churchill, Ulster Premier J. M. An- drews and members of their cab- inets. They discussed Ulster Na- tionalist opposition to conscription. The opcsition was supported by the Fire government at Dublin.
 It was expected that the govern ment's decision would be announced soon by Churchill to the House of Commons. It was believed that Churchill reached his decision Sat- urday after talking with Andrews, who will announce 1t to the North ern Ireland parliament.

Germany Officially Told Of Sea Disaster
(continued from Page 13

hours long news blackout to foreign countries:
 "The battleship Bismarck since Monday at Q D. n. has been again engaged in c severe battle by su. perior enemy forces" It was too late for the morning newspapers, and Berliners read col- unns today of the triumph of tho pride Of their fleet.
 Then the radio began broadcast ing tributes to the Bismarck and 10 Admiral duenther Luetjcns, cofl1- inarder Of the squadron Of which the Bismarck was flagship. The ra- dio said that the British would leave nothing undone to run down the Bismarck.
 4 little later came the announce inent that hte Bismarck had bee sunk.
 Somewhere in the North Atlantic off Greenland, the Bismarck, first Of four new German 3S,000- ton, 16- inch gun battlcships to be com- pleted, sank the Giant British bat- tie cruiser Hood, biggest warship if the world, last Saturday.
 Now, the high command coit- iiiunique implied, the Bismarck was fighting 10 escape . powerful British vengeance fleet,
 British Fleet UsclcsS An hour after the high command communique was issued, an author- ized military spokesman asserted that the British fleet in the Eastern Mediterranean may be considered destroyed" because 1t had lost il Of i2 cruisers based on Alexandria and Germany and Italy had won doniir- ation of the seas in that area as well as uncontested domination Of the afr.
 Well Uniformed Nazis supplement- cd this information by asserting that German dive bombing planes had scored many" hits with heavy bombs or a British airplane carrier in the eastern Mediterranean, and that c cruiser in the same forna- ton had been hit.
 It was asserted also that German reconnaissance planes in the Crete area had seen cruiser which had been completely burned out afnid- ships, and with many heavy hits on it's stern. German planes Sunday, 1t was added, sank two British faer- chantmen, totaling between 5000 and 5000 tons, of Tobruk and had damaged "a small British naval unit" with two direct bomb hits.
 Fighting It Out
 Thus within four days of the 26th aniversary of the Battle Of Jutland, decisive naval engagement of the last war, Germany and Britain were fighting 1t out again with the Brit- ish fleet seeking to avenge the Hood, while ct the same time the Ger mans, depending on air power alone, were trying to knock the British fleet out Of the Eastern Mediterran- can.
 The Bismarck's feat in sinking the giant Hood was still the leading topic of German official and news paper comment. It was called one of the most important events of the war. An authorized military spokes- man asserted that the Hood sinking probably would do more to shatter British morale than any other single occurrance.
 The English people withstood their defeats in France, Greece and elsewhere for there was always that faith and confidence in the irlvinci- biiity of the British feet" he said Nov that faith has been severely shaken"

BIRTH CONTROL IS
 BEATEN IN SENATE

(Continued from Page D for acceptance of the report and rejection Of the bill.
 Hg said. T am opposed to this bill and the people of my district ale also strongly opposed to it." Senator Bingham immediately took the floor to oppose the coni- mittee report and pointed out that the issue was not one Of birth con- trol but human freedom. He said that the anti-birth control legisla- ton was outnoded and interferes with the rights of Connecticut citi- gems!
 Points by Senator Egan
 Among the points brought out by Senator Egan was that tho title Of the substitute biIl, which passed the House, and it's text differed. The title Was-Afl Act Concerning Medi. cal Advice to Married Women-but the text of the bill dealt with ad- vice to married persons.
 Senator Cooney made the principal speech for opponents Of the birth control legislation in which he claimed that the real problem was not birth control but living wage for ali families.
 "The solution" he said, "iS not the deprivation of the right to have children"
 He also claimed that if birth con- control arguments were carried out logically the state soon would be requiring those desiring children to have a state license.
 Are we to copy Hitler?" thun- dered the Hartford senator. Do we, too, want q planned race Of only Morales? Shall we follow Hitler's theory of selectiye breedingw
 He said that birth control efforts in Connecticut were part of q fla- tional plan and If successful would destroy the morals and morale Of the country.
 Senator Michael v. Blansfield Of Waterbury also took the floor to oppose the measure saying that 1t would hurt Connecticut and the erl- tire country to pass such a bill. He said that the men ard women who founded the state thought rightly that birth control was vicious.
 Shall VIC change rature?", the Waterbury senator asked.
 Senator Prank Peet, Republican of Kent, argued for passage Of the bill and said that the existing stat uteS are working q hardship on the medical profession.
 Senator Albert Coles, Democrat Of Bridgeport, leader of the Senate, said that he aS Q member Of the Senate accepted the challenge Of the birth control proponents who threatened to use political infiu- ence to defeat all who worked and voted against the bill. He main- tained that most Of the aid for the bill came from wealthy, noisy minority"
 He said he had received volumes of letters on the bill urging it's passage, but he noticed that all Of 1t was engraved, embossed, eXpen- sive stationery and most of 1t came from outside his own senatorial dis trict. He said he would not yield because of the pressure being ex- erted by birth control proponents.
