Not long ago the new German
battleship, Bismark, tossed a
1-ton shell $4,000 yards at the
English battle cruiser, Hood. it
landed squarely in the magazine
of the Britisher. When the
smoke cleared away the Hood
was no more, and only 3 of near
1850 men board her survived.
The English battle fleet far
apart and thinly stretched on
the lifeline picked the news out
of the air and gathered to get
revenge. About 400 miles from
Brest they caught the Bismark
and blew her to pieces. The dis
eovefy was madesthat instead of
being an ordinary $4,000 tonner
Hitler's new boat was really
giant of $4,000 tons. In this
affair honors were even.

World Affairs

The recent successful German
conquest of Crete looms large
In American eyes. Although the
island falling into German hands
Is a blow to British prestige it
is not a vital loss. Crete is not
much larger than half dozen
OF West Virginia counties and
being rated higher mainly be-
cause it has been inhibited since
ancient times. In the present era
it has been largely a colonia nav
al base of England of a sort.
The German conquest has
created a threat to the English
domination of the Mediterranean
but not serious one. The
English lost heavily in the con-
test. The Germans also lost
far too many men and machines
to make the victory taste we'll.
More important is the fact, not
yet generally known, that the
English gained a victory also
out of Crete. Hitler's about Of
fensive on Crete was carried out
by men and material that had
been imported from Iraq. BY
simply taking advantage of the
situation the British Colonials
gained a more secure hold on a
very valuable oil producing
territory that Hitler would give
France to possess.
