The balance had to stand. There
were no demonstrations, as the
hearing, which may last weeks,
proceeded smoothly through the
preliminary stages.
Goodwin said, however, that the
charge of membership in the party
also would be pressed against
the alien" as the formal court lang

evidence would show that for the

Importance" but that it was too
early to say whether Germany would
regard this step as an act of war
or what reprisals might be taken
In Africa a British column was
pounding along the railroad to-
ward Adds Ababa, capital of Eth
iopia, after the Italians abandoned
Dire DaWa without a fight Another
column was pressing toward As
mara capital of Eritera, and chanc-
eS seemed good that all of Benito
Mussolini's East African empire
would be in British hands before
the heavy spring rains start.
Full scope of the British naval
success against Italy became ap-
parent only Monday when fuller
accounts were given by the ad-
miralty, and the Italian high COM
mand confirmed a major portion
of the losses claimed by London.
British sources gave this recapi-
tulation of Italy's sea losses:
Three 10,000-ton 8-inch gun crui-
sers, the Fiume, Pola and cara
sunk: two destroyers, the 1,729-ton
Vicenzo Gioberti and the 1,449-t ton
Maestrale sunk; a 35,000-ton Lit
torio class battleship seriously dam
aged by torpedOes; the 5,069-ton g.
inch gun cruiser, Giovanni Dele
Bunde possibly sunk; another des-
troyer, possibly the Vittorio Alfieri,
a sister ship of the Gioberti, prob
ably sunk.
The British said they suffered
not scratch to their ships or men
except for probable loss of two
airplanes.
The Rome communique admitted
loss of three cruisers and two des-
troyers and said it was believed
that heavy British cruiser was sunk
and possibly two other cruisers
damaged.
The Great Britain-Italian naval
combat in the Mediterranean was
one of a series of actions involving
sea forces.
The royal air force pounded hard
at the French invasion coast during
the night, centering attack upon
BreSt, where it was said in Lon
don the 26,000-top German battle
ships Scharnhorst and Gneisenau
now are harbored The British did
not claim hits on the two power
full Nazi sea raiders but said that
bombs exploded all around them.
AT LIE Havre five hits were claim
ed on two German tanks.
In a second Mediterranean action
the British and French had brush
over French convoy which a
light British naval force tried to in
tercept between NemourS and Oran
on the Algerian coast. The British
Warships drew off when French
shore batteries fired on them and
the Vichy government Monday dis
patched a sharp protest to London.
The British charged that one of
the French ships had a cargo of
rubber which it was feared was
destined for Germany.
The Franco-BritiSh brush was
not in itself important but in the
light of the shattering blow to the
Italian fleet it was assumed that
German pressure to obtain the use
OF Frances fleet to restore the bal
ance of sea power in the Mediter-
ranean was likely to be increased
sharply.
The British, naturally jubliant
over their blow at Italy's navy,
hoped that it would add fuel TO the
spark of Italian discomfort which
London believes is attaining consid-
cradle proportions as Fascist de-
feat follows Fascist defeat.
