You are quite right in your

Returning to this Egyptian base
aboard 4 battleship before the big
air blitz around Crete began, I
learned later from officers of other
naval units how the British sea-
men-even after their fighter air.
craft protection had been withdrawn
from Crete-gave the Nazis some
of the hottest barrages yet seen in
this war.
Constantly at Action Stations.
For five days after leaving their
base most units of the feet were
constantly at action stations, with
Nazi bombers swooping overhead in
great masses.
An officer on one of the battle
ships participating in the fight
around Crete told me the air blitz
of May % was ''one of the heaviest
I have ever seen-probably the
biggest in history"
Throughout the day there were
never more than few minutes free
from the constant droning and div
ing of Nazi planes dropping 1000
pound bombs, swooping upon every
ship in sight. They kept it up
until nightfall.
THE biggest attack came at 1:30

until pm. there were literally
hundreds of German planes over
us. They seemed to spring out Of

German Radio Pays
Tribute 10 Luetjens,
Bismarck Commander
Ship Never Made Attempt
To Avoid Close -Ronee
Fight, 1t Is Said
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, May 27.-The Ger
man radio broadcast today a tribute
by Adolf Hitler's newspaper. the
Voelkischer Beobachter, to Admiral
Guenther Luetjens, commander OF
the sunk German battleship Bis
mark, his officers and his men.
The British Admiralty announced
early today that the 35,000-ton Bis
mark, which sank the 42,100-ton
British battle cruiser Hood Satur-
day in the North Atlantic, had been
sent to the bottom by British ships
after a three-day chase.
Engaged in Heavy Fight.
The broadcast, recorded by c. B.
S.. gave no news of the fate of the
Bismark other than repeating an
earlier Nazi high command COM
munique that the warship lis again
engaged in a heavy fight with
superior British naval units"
Commenting on the British
efforts to force q close-range en-
gagement on the German battle
ship Bismarck, now operating In
the Atlantic" the radio said, "the
Voelkischer Beobachter tells its
readers that this German ship
never made the attempt Of avoiding
q close-range battle with British
units. This fact cannot be shaken
by the rule of modern naval
strategy permitting battleships to
open fire at distances set by the
range of their heavy caliber guns.
Initiative With Reich.
What seems to annoy Mr..
Churchill more than anything else
is the well-known fact that the
initiative remains on the German
side. Despite the established nu-
merical superiority Of the British
fleet, the British have again and
again been pushed into the de-
fensive. Germany is fully
justified in looking with pride on
her small but highly efficient navy
that goes after superior British
forces and deals the most heavy
blows.
THE Voelkischer Beobachter pays
tribute to the feat of Admiral
Guenther Luetjens and his officers
and men,"

Lord Glentoran, Northern Ireland
Minister Of Agriculture and chief
government whip in the House Of
Lords, made the following state
ment:: "---.
Mr.. Churchill asked the Prime
Minister of Ulster to come over and
give his views on the matter to the
British cabinet.
1.-THE Ulster, Prime Minister made
it quite clear that Ulster is out to
assist the war effort in every pos
sible way and that, in total warfare,
equality Of service among all classes
could be attained only by conscrip-
ton.
I'm his wisdom, Churchill has de-
cided against conscription. Never
theless, he will continue to receive
just the same help and support from
the Ulster people as If he had de-
cided otherwise"

Japan Again Warns
u. S. of Risks in
Conveying Ships
By the Associs ted Press.


TOXIC, May 27.-In a state
ment made on the eve of Presi-
dent Roosevelt's broadcast to-
night, Capt. Hideo Hiraide,
Navy Minister spokesman, de-
clared 1.-The Imperial Navy is al
ways prepared to meet any
eventuality.
Two hundred warships are
now engaged in patrol duty
along the China coast with
more than 300 additional war
ships, together with a total OF
1000 planes. stationed in the
Pacific ready to take action at
a moments notice to defend
Japan against any enemy or
combination of enemies" the
statement continued.
Hiraide, in a strikingly frank
interview with the Japanese
press, said "the United States
is now preparing to send war
ships to convoy merchant ships,
so naturally the risks Of enter
ing the war with action by
Japan should this occur is
clearly defined in the tripartite
pact"
Japan's interest in the flreside
chat is without a parallel in
recent months.
