her shoulders-and at the time
it seemed quite a natural gesture
and led her through the doors
out to the balcony. There were
still lights in the city that sparkl-
ed like jewels. The air was warm
and rich and soft on their faces.
They stood there for some min

Peter didn't speak even when
he took her in his arms and held
her closely to him. Not at first.
But the pressure of his arms said
a great deal, and the tenderness
with which he held her said a
great deal too. When finally
he spoke his words surprised her,

A IRPLANES, tanks, bombs,
flame throwers, and big
v Bertha" guns are not the
only instruments Of destruction
in Germany's arsenal. Oddly
enough, toads. frogs, crawfish,
and other insect-eaters are being
modified by Adolf Hitler to prey
upon crop-destroying pests, in a
potent effort to conserve maxi
mum yield of the 1912 farm
crops. Apparently the Nazi
regime shares the viewpoint of
Secretary of Agriculture, Claude
r. Wickard, that food will win
the war.

To avoid destruction Of the

June, dear, dear little
June He was kissing her
lips as she had dreamed that Ash
ley might kiss them some day,
but never had. Not even now
they were engaged and on the
verge Of being married. She lay
in Peters arms and let him kiss
her and the sense of peace, the
dawn Of a new happiness she had
been vaguely conscious of all eve
ming enveloped her.
She didn't think in minutes.
She was scarcely conscious of the
fact that her arms had gone
shyly about his neck and that she
had brought his dark head down
to her shoulder.
Neither of them heard the
knock on the door. They were
both startled when they heard
the page boys voice say:
The Senior is wanted on the
telephone by Miss Sandra Red
cliffe. Will the Senior take the
call In here?"
June gave a small cry and
sprang away from him. Her
cheeks were scarlet, her eyes
were blazing.
Then she knew you were here!
You'd arranged it with her!
What was the idea? To save
Ashley for her? ?"

the boy repeated patiently. He
looked bored.

said.
AS she spoke she ran in from
the balcony and seized the tele-
phone which stood on a small low
table near the couch. She spoke
into the mouthpiece controlling
her voice with an effort and
enunciating over-clearly.

she said ignoring the astonished
Peter, that your stunt hasn't

And without giving Sandra a

Of the United States Navy is in
the Atlantic today, the Pacific
fleet is homogeneous and has a
decided superiority over the Jap
anese in heavy ships. This SUI
periority is further enhanced by
a number of British battleships
which have been under repair in
West Coast navy yards and which
the British Admiralty believes
can be spared from European
waters. Under the circumstance
the japanese would be outnum-
bered and outclassed in heavy
fighting ships.
Importance of the Battleship.
The importance of the battle
ship in the North Atlantic and
even in the Mediterranean is
only relative because the AXIS is
concentrating on the use Of
planes and submarines and in
stead Of sea battles there is only
raiding.
In the Pacific. however. sea
battles in the traditional form.
that is in classical formation. are
to be expected, but Japans pres
ent naval strength is hardly con-
ducive TO risking such battles. The
japanese would be hard put to it
10 replace their losses because of
the lack OF raw materials which
they once obtained from the
United States and other Western
democracies.
Speculative reports from Toxic
say the Nazi government has
definitely undertaken to assist
the japanese by sending into
the Pacific some of its heavy
naval units which are of little
use to the Axis in the North At
lantic and Mediterranean.
Their role has been limited
hitherto to surface raids on
merchantmen or to attack on
weaker British varships. They
would be of real use TO Japan,
however, should war break out
in the Pacific in the near future.
Scant Data on Nazi Fleet.
Scant data are now available
on the German fleet. The Nazis
have contrived to keep their
naval construction a deep secret.
Their naval bases are all in
prohibited areas. of course, and
since espionage is punished with
immediate execution, few are
willing to risk their lives for the
usual compensation.

1t is definitely known here that
the Tirpitz is in commission.
Whether the other two sister
ships of this class, the Friedrich
der Crosse and Hindenburg, have
been completed Is matter of
speculation. They were laid down
in 1887 and 1888, respectively.
While the Germans must econ
onize on essential raw materials,
it Is believed that work on these
two battleships is well advanced,
if not already finished.

As far as could be aScertalned

These ships have a wide CruiS-
ing radius. Furthermore, they
could take fuel at sea from sthe
many secret supply bases which
the Reich possesses in West
Africa.
The problem of moving Ger
man battleships and aircraft
carriers to the Pacific would not
be too difficult. Both the South
Atlantic and Pacific are vast eX-
panses Of water which the Brit
ish are unable to patrol thor
oughly. It is impossible for them,
while meeting the German sub
marine menace in the North At
lantic and fighting for supremacy
in the Mediterranean, to spare
many vessels to stop German
Warships en- route to Japan.
The only possibility of learning
of such a movement would be a

chairman with these units, and

There was the false alliance of

threw out the left wing members.

Daladier obtained a majority by
accepting Flandin's backing: ap-
