tured both ends of a double header
from Atchison-Keller by one-run
margins, winning the first game, 80,
and the second, 81, but they had
to rally to score both of their runs
in the fifth and final inning of the
nightcap TO make their day sue

the final frame of the opener to
score both of their runs. Briscuso

they do not wish this to be so, must
now prepare to leave the air feet
there permanently: situation
which they hardly envisaged when
they sent it there.
Nazi Air Force Holds OFF.
AS to the details of the naval bat
tie, we know little as yet. Appar-
emily the Italians fed almost at
sight of the British heavy ships.
The British aircraft and British and
Greek light forces pursued them
through the night, crippling several
italian vessels SO that the slower
British battleships brought them
under fire as the range closed. The
German air force does not appear
to have intervened seriously until
Saturday morning, when 1t claims to
have attacked a British warship
near Crete. If the British were still
In pursuit, they were chasing the
Italians away from their home base,
and the conclusion is difficult to es-
cape that the luckless Italian cruiser
squadron of the cara class was in
deed cut off from its base by the
British and forced to flee to the
southwark, being overhauled and
destroyed as the light grew. That
this is so is further suggested by
the fact that the damaged Italian
battleShip of the Littorio class seems
to have gotten into a home port; at
any rate, the Admiralty does not
claim its destruction.
One gets picture of the Italian
fleet steaming out, cruisers well in
advance, a battleship or two with
some destroyers farther back; and
the British striking in between the
two forces, driving the battleships
home, pursuing the cutoff cruisers
to their doom. Thus did Nelson at
Trafalgar cut the enemy line in two.
A Lesson for Matsuoka.
Nor will this relentless pursuit after
the battle have failed to stir in the
mind OF Mr.. Matsuoka, as he arrives
in Rome, a proud memory of Togo's
pursuit after Tsushima. Perhaps
also 1t will stir a certain uneasiness
do W "lelller d people capable OF
such deeds were not better sought as
friends than the enemies of Japan,
whose very life deepnds upon the
sea.
The principle of our own naval
construction seems supported by this
action-the futility of too much
speed in heavy ships. A battleship's
business is to fight, American naval
designers have always held, and to
that end have put armament and
protection before speed. Pursuit is
the task of light forces and aircraft,
and it has always been felt that, as
at Tsushima, Jutland and now in the
Ionian Sea, should a battle be pro-
longed through the night, the bring
ing to action of the enemy in the
morning is far more dependent on
the good judgment of the COM
mander in chief and the vigorous
handling of aircraft and destroyers
than on a few extra knots speed
for the battelships.

Those who propose CENSORSHIP to
keep bad news away do not realize how
dangerous their proposals are.
They do not realize the force of the
oldest adage in free mans copy book:
"Forewarned is forearmed" Somehow
they fail to see that, in free country,
any man who knows or sees danger (or,
conversely, a way of escape, a hope) is
duty-bound to REPORT what he sees.
That is the first job of newspaper, its
very reason for existence, its JUSTIFI-
CATION in land where freedom of wor-
ship and thought and expression is the
very foundation of a lOay of life!
Your newspapers can deceive you in
only one fashion failing, as WHOLE
GROUP, to give you the TRUTH. One
editor or a dozen may err, may see or

the Egyptian and Turkish fleets set
the seal upon Greek independence;
in 1914, the escape of the Goeben
and Breslau in these waters from
their British pursuers set in train
a course of events which brought
Turkey into the war as German
ally; and last Friday night there was
fought in the Ionian Sea battle
which destroyed the last remnants of
modern Italian sea power and wrote
bright and high the name Of Sir
Andrew Browne cunningham for
ever on the long and honorable roll
of Britain'S naval heroes.
There were signs all last week
as noted in my article of March 27
that a change in the Mediter-
ranean naval situation was about to
take place. Obviously the British
feet had completed the convoy
phases of its duties and was ready
for other service, the nature of
which could not then be foreseen.
This was also, apparently, clear to
the Italian high command, and their
decision to send out their fleet is a
most interesting one. What were
the reasons for 1t?
Appears as Desperation.
At first sight, the decision seems
almost to have in it an element OF
desperation, an air of the forlorn
hope, like the proposal to send out
the German high seas fleet in Octo-
ber, 1918-which was prevented only
by the mutiny of the crews. Whether
the Italian crews would have mutt
MED, left to themselves, we cahnot
know! the presence among rescued
survivors of German officers and
seamen is certainly suggestive.
If this was truly forlorn hope
affair, one arising from feeling
that all was lost unless q miracle
occurred, it suggests an imminent
internal collapse of the Fascist re-
gime in Italy. Another possibility
is that the Germans may have
largely taken over" and may have
forced this decision on the Italians
in the hope that, with Germans
aboard, the italian ships might pro-
cure a complete reversal of the sad
picture so far presented to Mr.. Mat
suoka of axis prospects in the Near
East.
Had the British sustained severe
naval reverse, of course, the whole
Mediterranean situation would have
been altered The Greeks would
have been cut off from any hope
of British help, the British forces in
Greece and the Greek islands ma
rooned, the Yugoslavs and the Turks
would have had to take note of the
handwriting on the wall.
Fateful for British.
Worse than all this, the Germans
would have been able to clean up
quickly and easily any further diff
f1culties in the Balkans, and to turn
their full attention to their assault
on Great Britain. The threat Of a
war on two fronts would have been
ended. the anxieties which have de-
tanned three of Germany's seven air
fleets in Italy and the Balkans would
have been no more. Within week
those air fleets would have doubled
the forces hammering at Britain.
What remains of the Italian fleet
"a battleship or two, few cruisers
and most of its light craft-will
hardly trouble the Mediterranean
sea lanes again. Perhaps some of
the destroyers and submarines, in
German hands, may cause minor
trouble, but if 1t were not for the
German air power, still emplaced in
Sicily and Southern Italy, the Med
iterranean would be in very truth
