British Warn Ships
Of Danger in Huge
Mediterranean Area
Mines, Bombs, Torpedoes
And Shells PeriIs in
Wide Central Strip
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON. Feb. pa 10000
square-mile area of the central
Mediterranean-Italy's mare nos
trum"-was declared dangerous to
shipping" by the British Admiralty
today.
Anything from mines to bombs,
torpedoes and British naval shells
may be expected in a zone extend
ing westward from the heel of the
italian boot and Bengasi, Libya, to
a line drawn from Cape Bon in
French North Africa to Sardinia,
naval men said.
The area takes in not only the
waters around Sardinia and Sicily,
but also along Italy's southern west
coast and all the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Mining staggering Task"
British naval quarters said the
warning did not necessarily mean
the entire zone had been soWn
heavily with mines. 1t did mean,
they said, there was danger from
all types of weapons and that any
intensive mining Of areas within
the zone would not be further ad-
vertised.
Neutral sources said effective
mining of such a large territory
would be a staggering task" re-
quiring intensive use of surface,
aerial and underSeas minelayers.
While Britains naval and aerial
forces thus acted to reinforce the
seal upon all italian naval and
shipping activity. communiques
from Africa reported the capture
Of the town of Jumbo, described as
"a position of considerable i'm
portance" in the coastal sector of
Italian Somaliland. The British
said a brigade staff and many
soldiers were taken prisoners at
Jumbo.
Reinforcement Lines Menaced.
A Reuters British news agency
dispatch from correspondent
somewhere in Ethiopia said Brit
ish-led native demolition squads in
revolt ridden Gojjam Province, were
worrying Italians into retreat both
north and south of Lake Tama.
The correspondent said these
black warriors have thrown away
their clubs and spears for tommy
guns and dynamite. He reported
Fascist routes of reinforcement for
hard-pressed Eritrea are menaced.
Aided by watchers in the hills who
signal by native telegraph" the ma
tive bands nightly steal behind the
Italians lines to blow up bridges and
telephone lines, the dispatch said.
AS a result, it was reported, the
Italians are retiring from their
mountain positions about Burye, 85
miles south of Lake Tana, and
about Gondar, north of the lake.
Gibraltar Attacked.
In Eritrea, the British continued
to attack Cheren.
British bombers, at Chinele and
Diredawa in Ethiopia as we'll as in
Somaliland were reported.
At the other end of the Mediter-
ranean. two tri-motored bombers
attacked Gibraltar. Spanish dis
patches reported, and two bombs
dropped in the arsenal area caused

NEW YORK, Feb. % (P).-A Brit
ish radio report, heard here by
N. B. c.. said tonight that Free
French" troops have arrived to join
the British drive on Cheren, Italian
EritIea.
The troops, part Of Gen. Charles
de Gaulles French forces still fight
ing alongside Britain, were said to
have been the first to disembark on
the Red Sea coast of Eritrea since
the British drive began.

trucks from Fort Lamy, near Lake
Chad, French Equatorial Africa, to
the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan, taking
along all their own equipment, in
cluding rifles machine guns, ammu-

This would indicate that they then

in the northernmost area of Eritrea
where a British column already has
been operating.

The fruit of the Spirit is in all
goodness and righteousness and
truth" These words of Paul to the
Ephesians are the Golden Text IN
the Lesson-Sermon on Spirit on
Sunday in all Churches of Christ,
Scientist.
A Scriptural citation includes
these passages from Luke: And
Jesus returned in the power OF the
Spirit into Galilee: . . And they
were astonished at his doctrine: for
his word was with power. And in
the synagogue there was a man,
which had a spirit of an unclean
devil, and cried out with a loud
voice, Saying, Let us alone; :.
art thou come to destroy us? /
know thee who thou art; the Holy
One of God. And Jesus rebuked him,
saying, Hold thy peace, and come
out of him. And when the devil had
thrown him in the midst he came
out of him, and hurt him not i.
Now when the sun was setting, all
they that had any sick with divers
diseases brought them unto him;
and he laid his hands on every one
of them, and healed them"
One of the selections from the
Christian Science textbook, Sci
ence and Health with Key to the
Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy,
states: Maintain the facts of Chris
