Definitely the Lutherans were

Huskies were running. Only one
field goal in Is minutes for such
basket sharpshooters as Sigurd-

NEW YORK, Dec. 13 (INS).-
The heroic United States Marines
defending Midway Island, and to
a lesser degree those beating back
the Japanese at Wake Island, have
as company in their death struggle
the strangest birds known to man,
the migratory gooney birds.
These birds. a form of albatrossI
arrive by the thousands every
October from some unknown point
in the north believed to be in the
Aleutian Islands. They spend the
winter at Midway chiefly, although

These big birds, the size of large
turkeys, are just about the stupid
est winged creatures known. They
are so heavy that they have to
take off into the wind like air
planes. and if a bush is in their
path they dash headlong into it.
The Gooneys are not frightened
by people, perhaps because both
Wake and Midway Islands have
been bird preserves ever since
America took over and no gun has
been fired there until the Japa-
nese planes made their present
attack.
The birds will not run away
from men, but also they will not
move if men want them to- During
the. past year navy construction

trouble with them because they
refused to move TO permit the con-

the fact that the gooneys have a

Conflicting Versions

In the case OF the ST. Denis.

what happened. The British claim
the ship was fired upon because it
failed TO heed a warning to stop

that before IL had a chance to stop
two torpedoes hit il.
Meanwhile, official Washington
was still concerned over the dam
ger Of Darlan using the French
navy in the interests of the Axis.
Removal of the crews from IL

that Darlan intends to permit the

These quarters insist that Marshal
Henri Petain will not turn the
fleet over 10 Germany or Italy.

French people for America, espe-

On each of these islands a small

"please don't make heroes Of the
