Fought on Edge

The subsequent sinking OF the
Bismarck last Tuesday brought 70
a laundering climax a three-day
battle in the North Atlantic-the
first large-Scale fleet action of the
war between British and German
capital ships. Moreover. the elm
ination of the Bismarck removes
the greatests single menace the
Nazis have yet brought against
the Atlantic sea lanes.
The fierce knockdown-d ragout
fight between the Bismarck anc
Hood took place in the 250-milo
stretch of water separating Green
land and lceland-on the edge OF
the Western Hemisphere. What a
German naval squadron was doing
in that vicinity raises a disturbing
