A small sum, a $15 donation by the Douglas High School Alumni Asso- citation toward the furnishings, will be used toward the purchase of a mat.

With one foot on Gibraltar and the
other in SalonlKa, the Germans hope
to be able to squeeze Britain out Of
the Mediterranean with their air force.
2. An intensive submarine and air
force blockade of the British Isles already
has been started, and will be increased
within the next few weeks.
The number of submarines at the
disposal OF the German Admiralty is
not definitely known here. 1t is be-
lieved. however. that Hitler has no
fewer than 135 and not more than $50

Atlantic ports from Holland to Portu-
gal. and on the high seas-fed by sup

flags other than the SwaStika in the
Azores and the Canary Islands.
To Act When Supplies Start
AS soon as supplies from the United
States under the lease-lend bill become
available to the British, military and
naval authorities in Washington expect
these submarines and long-range air.
planes to become more active than they
have ever been.
1t is only after this war of attrition
has given positive results that the Ger
man high command will launch the
much-diScuSSed attempt to invade Brit
ain. High officials in Washington do
not conceal their concern over the
impressive blockade the Germans are
prepared to launch, which is much more
to be feared than the actual invasion
threat
When the invasion is begun, the Brit
ish will be so weakened by the lack
of adequate supplies that the German
assault no longer will be the difficult
problem it is considered now, while the
British still have their lines of COM
munication open.
3. There has been no exaggeration of
the alarm felt in Australia and New
Zealand regarding an impending JAP
anese attack.
Despite assurances given by Admiral
Nomura to high officials here that Japan
does not contemplate an aggression in
the Pacific, there is sufficient informa-
ton on hand to show that under Ger
