Aqua Greek Bridge Fire
Delays Six D. {. Trains

A two-hour fire on the Richmond,
Fredericksburg & Potomac Railroad
Bridge at Aqua Greek, about 10
miles north of Fredericksburg, tied
up six trains between Washington
and the South last night.
The blaze was said by officials at
the r. F. g. P. Office in Fredericks-
burg to have started in the bridge
tenders house in the middle of the
half-mile- long span shortly before
$50 pm. 1t was believed to have
been started accidentally.
The ticket agents Office said more
than 100 Marines from Quantico
assisted volunteer firemen and rail-
road employees from Fredericksburg
in fighting the flames before traffic
was resumed at about 10:30 pm.
A report, which was not immedi-
ately confirmed at the railroad office,
said the bridge tender. w. B. Knox
vile, was burned while attempting
to extinguish the flames and that
several other volunteer fire fighters
fell into Aqua Greek.
The blaze was confined chiefly to
the southbound railroad tracks, it
was said, but the extent of damage
could not be determined until after
daylight today.

Strategy Revision
PorIey CIimoxes Series
Of Axis Victories on
Atlantic, Pacific Fronts
By JOHN c. HENRY.

Prompted by recent Axis sue
cesses on major war fronts to re-
examine the fighting strategy of
the United Nations, ranking Of
ficers of the American and Brit
iSh armed services conferred
with President Roosevelt for
nearly two hours at the White
House yesterday.
The meeting climaxed week in
which qualified spokesmen of the
Russian, Chinese and Dutch gov
ernments, other front-line fighting
powers in the United Nations bloc,
participated in a series of parleys
in this war capital of the anti
Axis world.
1t climaxed, also, an uninter-
rupted string of reverses in which
extension of Japanese victories in
the Southwest Pacific was matched
by the spectacular freeing of a
heavy German naval squadron on
the Atlantic front. This latter de-
velopment, coupled with continued
suppression of British offensive
strength in North Africa and in
creasing danger of French naval CO.
operation with the Axis, has created
grave threat to the entire mar
gin of power thus far enjoyed by
the United Nations in the Atlantic.
Steps to Match Threat.
Steps to match the Atlantic threat,
which may manifest itself in stimuli
taneous heavy thrustS at the British
American North Atlantic supply line
and in establishment of outright
Axis control in western Africa, are
believed to have been the principal
order of business at yesterdays
White House consultation.

holding the United outposts in

and Newfoundland, and the major

lantic fleet engaged for months past
in guarding the supply lines to the
British Isles and their northward
extension to Russia, the anticipated
emergence of the REINFORCED Ger
man fleet from its Helgoland base
becomes of immediat concern to
commanders of joint British-Amer-
ican operations.
Since German interference thus
far has been confined almost en-
tirely to submarine tactics, the ad-
dition of a powerful Nazi surface
fleet obviously will force a revision
of defense strategy if the feared
break-through is to be blocked in
the North Atlantic sector.
