LONDON, May 16-Rounding
off a week Of intensive day and
night attacks on German ship
ping off the continental coast,
United States built Hudson
bombers blasted at two conveys
off the Frisian Islands near the
northern coast Of the Neither
lands last night, leaving three
supply ships burning and four
others probably damaged from
hits.
Calling the attacks "the most
devastating of the week." Air Min
istry sources admitted, however, that
five of the British bombers were lost
in the fierce anti-aircraft fire
which greeted their low-level assault.
The Air Ministry News Service
said one bomber crew saw pilot Of
one OF the Hudsons, on fire from a
hit, drive his blazing machine
straight into the deck of the near
est ship, the aircraft exploding"
"The ship is believed to have been
destroyed" the service added.
Storage Tank Set Afire.
Spitfire pilots resumed the day.
light offensive today, leaving a large
gasoline storage tank at Ostend,
Belgium, in flames, stopping a
freight train by shooting up the
engine and blowing the roof of a
railway station near st. Valery en-
Caux.
Pilots who entered France north
of Dieppe said they only attacked
the train engine because there
might have been French passengers
in the cars. German fighters came
up but because they lacked height
advantage they refused to play" the
pilots reported.
Air Ministry sources said coastal
command planes had hit % Axis
ships engaged on the supply route
to Northern Norway in the last two
weeks. These ships take munitions,
aircraft spares and other supplies
northward, and return with iron
ore, pyrites and timber for Ger
many'S Ruhr.
IA Hit in Last Week.
In addition, the two attacks last
night brought to IA the number Of
German supply ships hit in the
last week of the French and
Netherlands coasts along with two
minesweepers destroyed and a third
hit.
Continued bad weather, however,
kept the heavier bombardment
squadrons tied to their bases and
prevented resumption of the air
offensive against Germany's arma-
ment centers. The last R. A. F..
night attack in Germany was
against Warnemuende, the port of
Rostock on the Baltic, on May 7.
The weather also kept the Ger
man air force at home.

Churchill Says Victory
Is in Sight; Promises
To Play Rough
Axis to Be Repaid for
Any Tortures, Crowd at
Yorkshire Is Told
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LEEDS, England, May 10
Prime Minister Churchill con-
fidently told $4,000 cheering
Yorkshire war workers and farm
erS today that the beginning Of
victory is in sight and promised
to play rough" in repaying the
Axis for any torture inflicted on
Britain and its Allies.
I'VE have reached period In the
war when it would be premature
to say that We have topped the
ridge, but We see that ridge ahead
now" the prime minister said.
I'VE see that perseverance-un-
flinching, dogged, inexhaustible,
tireless and valiant-will surely
carry us and our allies, the great
nations of the world and the un-
fortunate nations who have been
subjugated and enslaved, on to one
of the most deep-founded move
ments of humanity which has taken
place in our history.
I'VE say they will come to the top
OF the ridge and then they will have
the chance not only of beating
down and subduing those evil forces
who have twice let ruin and havoc
on the world, but they will have
a further and grander prospect
beyond the smoke of battle and
the confusion of the fight. That
is the prospect that lies before U.S."
Praise for Russians.
The war leader, in his third ad-
dress OF the week, paid tribute to
the noble manhood of Russia" and
'our kith and kin Australia who
like ourselves lie under the menace
of an imminent enemy attack and
who like ourselves are going to
strike heavy and successful blow
on all who spring upon U.s."
The Russians, he said, now were
at full grips with the murderous
enemy, striking blow for blow and
repaying better ones for blows
struck at them"
Lately the enemy has not been
so ready to come to this island"
Mr.. Churchill declared, first, be-
cause large portion of his air force
is engaged against our Russian
allies and, secondly, because he
knows our arrangements for meet
ing him."
He taunted the Germans with the
declaration that None of us is
weary of the struggle"
None of us is calling for any
favors from the enemy" he said.
IF he plays rough, We can play
rough, too. Whatever we have got
to take, we will take and we will
give it back in even greater
measure"
Underlines Gas Warning.
The Prime Minister'S emphasis
on playing rough underlined his
warning of six days ago that Britain
would spray German military OBJ
jectives with poison gas if that
weapon were used against the Rus
slams. 1t also called attention to
the British Army plan which is
training large troop units in Com
mando methods Of warfare.
He paid his respects to "all the
millions of our cousins across the
Atlantic who are preparing night
and day to have their will and rights
respected and to the patient mil
lions of China, who have suffered
long and cruel aggression and still
fight with faithful stubbornness."
He warned that the fight ahead
would be hard and dangerous, But
it is sure and certain that our
perseverance will see us through"

Warns Wheat Loan
Must Be Settled by
Last of April
Refinancing may be
arranged if storage
is adequate a..

Wheat producers with 1871 Com
modify Loans have until the last OF
April to make settlement on their
outstanding loans. This matter
should be taken care of early enough
so that all transactions are COM
plete by April 80
According to Fred Wilson, chair
man of the Benton County Agri-
cultural Conservation Association,
all farm stored loans can be resealed
for another year by making applica-
ton and paying 1c per pushed re-
sealing fee, providing the wheat and
storage structure are in good condi-
ton. Loans on warehouse stored
Regular" wheat mature on April
80 while loans on wareh e-stored
Excess" wheat can be resealed.
Twenty-Five Benton county farm
ersatook advantage of the opportun-
ity to take loans on their 1941 wheat.
Of these, seven took loans on 'Regu-
lar" wheat which is the term applied
to wheat raised on farms in COM
pIiance with the AAA program, and
10 took loans on excess" wheat. III
the loan program is in effect for
1912, it is anticipated the number of
Regular" loans will he considerably
higher because of the increased par
ticipation in the AIAA program.
Mr.. Wilson wishes to emphasize
the necessity for taking care Of loans
in ample time, especially those on
farm stored excess" wheat because
if the loan is not paid or a request
for resealing filed, the wheat be-
comes the property of Commodity
Credit Corporation and the producer
is still liable for the 49c penalty.
