lay in splinters on the floor. But,
however hard the intruder had
worked to open the secret safe, its
hidden mechanism had kept the Sc

the mantel rested securely against
the wall.
Jabez lay o. the big couch.
Around him were grouped Mrs.
Gould, Cary and Kaye. With anX-
Iors face and shaking hands, Mrs.
Gould supported the head Of the

Kaye stood close by holding a
basin of red-stained water.
Janet FASTENED forward and,
drawing up a chair, opened and
spread out for Cary's use a first aid
kit.

There were many things I didn't

BY J. ". I MASON
United Press War Expert

The British Mediterranean fleet
has resumed successful operations
tc lock the entrance door into north
Africa against German reinforce
ment of troops and supplies.
The British, in sinking a full
enemy convoy of five loaded mer-
chantmen and three destroyers. un-
doubtedly have given Berlin cause
tor uneasinesS regarding the even
tual fate Of the axis forces IN
Libya
Hitler's propaganda office Is
claiming the British eXpeditionary
force in Greece is trapped. But
strengthening of British naval ac-
ton eff Tripoli gives more reason
for believeing that the Germans,
themselves. are in danger of a trap
in North Africa.
Should the German offensive in
Greece become successful because OF
overwhelming numbers, British
command of the Mediterranean will
allow an open road to overseas re-
tirement to Egypt If. however, the
German and their Fascist allies in
Libya are compelled 10 fall back, a
real trap awaits them because their
homeward route by sea crosses the
resumed patrol area Of the Brit
ish fleet.
Full resumption OF the British
fleets action in the middle Medi-
terranean. however, probably is not
vet feasible. AS long as uncertainty
exists regarding the outcome Of the
fighting in Greece and the eventual
movements of the Anglo Greek
forces there, it would seem essential
for a considerable part of the British
fleet TO remain in readiness fol
any eventually in the eastern Medi-
terranean.
Once the Greek issue is decided
the British fleet can concentrate
its major activities in the middle
Mediterranean. When that situation
prevails. the turn of the German.
will come to understand anew tht
meaning of sea power and its even.
tual influence on the ending o.
the war.
Already, the moderately strength.
ened British squadron in the mid.
Gle Mediterranean has begun tt
disrupt the German overseas sup
ply service. When that strength i;
redoubled, as it will be sooner OF
later, the Nazi life line in north
Africa will be severed. as was tht

The latest war office communicate
had said heavy fighting was taking
place at more than one sector OF
the allied line and had indicates
that the Germans were making a
supreme attempt to break through
to the plains.
At last, there seemed to be gen.
eral contact, with the Germans
driving with all their might, along
the entire British Greek line.
1t was admitted that the situa-
ton was serious but there were
general denials of alarmist repors
from Turkey of breaks in the att.ed

to German sources.
There was every indication that
the big test was at hand because
of the collapse of Jugoslav resistance
which left the Germans free to
concentrate on the British and

The ton of lives and property was
great. and it was reflected in anger
toda~ as fires were dampened down
and exhausted emergency crews
searched in the mounds of debris for
the trapped, wounded and dead.
Everywhere in the great British
metropolis today could be seen
crude scrawlS chalked on the side
walks and on the walls OF buildings
that had been made hollow shells
by Nazi bombs.
The legends repeated with end
less variations a single theme:

Despite weight of the attack, by
mid-afternoon the city had been re-
stored to something like normal
normal for wartime in a metropo-
lis subjected to repeated bomb at
tackS.
Debris had been swept out OF
roadways. sidewalks were cleared
and traffic jams unSnarled. Before
the movie houses persons queued
up for late afternoon performances
and in the west end suburbs house
wives crowded the stores as usual,
looking for bargains.
Most famous casualties of the raid
were Lord Stamp, the noted econ
omist and his wife. There we're
many others. Thousands mourned
dead or wounded relatives. Tens OF
thousands were homeless.
How many Nazi planes concen-
trated on London last night was
not known. At least five of the
raiders were brought down by the
pounding antiaircraft batteries and
night fighter planes.
Two more Nazi fighter-bombers
were shot down today when they
crossed over the Dover Straits.
It was a raid entirely unlike any
London had seen before. Great
buildings rocked on their founda-
tions from the conclusion of gigan-
tic German bombs and the Germans
used every type OF plane they had
to spread death, destruction, or ter
ror.
Big as some bombs were, well in
formed sources said there was moth
ing to indicate that any new types
had been used.
Great explosive bombs and thou
sands of fire bombs came down from
hundreds of bombing planes. Stuka
and Junker dive bombers dived down
in face OF an;i-aircraft gun fire.
Some German planes swept If
under the barrage balloons and, al
most skimming roof tops in some
areas. dropped their bombs.

Slump One Of Worst
Since Retreat to

NEW YORK, Dec. "a revival OF
war nervousness today touched off
one of the heaviest waves of stock
market liquidation since the British
retreat to Dunkerque in May OF
1910, and leaders fell / to more
than points.
The extension Of yesterdays re-
lapse. which was based on the United
States-JapaneSe clash in the Pacific,
was coincidental with reports of
enemy planes approaching the East
Coast and the sounding of air raid
alarms at New York and other
sectors
The list attempted a mild rally
at the opening but it was shortlived
and, around midday, offerings came
out in such volume that the high
speed ticker tape Jagged several min
uteS behind actual floor transactions
for brief interval. The pace then
slowed but the doWnsWing was re-
sumed near the final hour when
| treme declines were reduced in many
instances at the close.
Transfers of around $500 900
shares were among the largest since
May year ago.
