BY EDWIN SHANKE

LONDON, July "a - (R =
Germany, pinched for shipping
space after almost three years
of war, has started campaign
to salvage vessels sunk along
the European coast and is push
ing a program for construction
of standardized merchantmen
similar to the American Lib
erty Ships, British sources de-
clared today.
The situation facing the Reich
is reflected in official British
reports that, of the 5000, 900
tons of merchant shipping with
which Germany and Italy start
ed the war. 5,250,O00 tons had
been sent to the bottom prior
to last December.
How much tonnage the Axis
has lost since then is largely a
matter of speculation, but AL
lied communicates indicate that
it is considerable.
COMMERCE THROTTLED
While British and United
States navies have virtually
throttled Germany's overseas
commerce, she is struggling ire
mendously to maintain vital
supply lines in European wa
tiers - particularly in the Bal
tic and the Mediterranean.
In the Baltic, German freight
ers are moving iron ore from
Lulea, Sweden, to North Ger
man ports and supplying Nazi
troops ir Russia and their Fin
nish allies.
With Soviet submarines on the
loose in the Baltic this is be-
coming a hazardous job, and the
Germans are reported to have
resorted recently to conveying.
In the Mediterranean, Ger
many is largely dependent upon
Italian shipping space to keep
her armies in North Africa sup
piled, to maintain service to
Spain and unoccupied France
and bring oil in tankers from
Rumania. British warships and
Raj patrols have been taking
heavy toll of shipping on these
routes.
MOVE ORE
In addition German ships con-
stantly are shutting along the
Norwegian and Netherlands
North Sea coasts and across the
Bay of Biscay, where they are
moving ore from northern Spain
to Bayonne and Bordeaux.
These ship movements are
subject to constant air attack
and the problem of unloading
vessels once they have safely
arrived in German ports is COM
plicated by periodic bombings of
dock facilities at such import
ant centers as Stettin, Lubbock,
Kiel, Hamburg and Bremen.
These bombing raids, coupled
with the Allied blockade, have
put an extra strain on Ger
many's overloaded transporta-
ton system, already taxed to
the limit.
SHIPPED BY TRAIN
Whereas before the war Ger
man tankers carried oil at low
cost through the Mediterranean
and up the Atlantic coast to
Hamburg and Bremen, most of
this fuel must be transported
now by train - and it takes 400
cars to move the equivalent of
one tanker cargo of oil across
Europe from Rumania. And the
cars have to go back empty.

The ladies of the Scottville
community met at the home of

ton club. Due to unusual heavy

unable to be present.
Mrs. Gorda c. Boney, home

of the program and gave very
interesting talk with illustrations
on the Importance of nutrition.
Future Security Through Con-
servation, was also discussed and

At the end of the meeting, the
following officers were elected:

Save Children
Group Met Here

The regular monthly meeting OF
the S. C. F. was held at head
quarters here last week, with Mr..
C. A. Miller acting as chairman.
The main topic for discussion
was that each demonstration
school should have a field day
during the summer vacation with
the teachers in attendance at their
schools.
Mrs. Mary Sue White furnished
each school with materials to be
used in teaching a vacation Bible
school.
In the lunch room discussion,
it was decided that the roots and
cabbage be buried for winter use,
to eliminate canning and to be
able to serve these vegetables
fresh to the children during the
winter.
All demonstration school teach
ers are requested to be present at
the June meeting.

It is also expected that the sta
Utilization of the cost of living will
stop labor from making new de-
mands for wage increases, al
though this result is still by no
means certain. The day before
price fixing began operating, an
increase in wages was approved
for the whole ship building in

DEFE N S z
BY REV. RAE PAISLEY

I am a minister and believe in
working for the Lord. I wish to
thank the Editor of the Skyland
Post for so kindly giving the
space to the ministers of Ashe
county, to express their opinion
of our dark future. I hope what
they say in these articles will be
of help to some troubled soul.
Psalm 33:18-2O
Behold, the eye of the Lord
is upon them that fear Him, upon
them that hope for His mercy.
Our soul waiteth for the Lord:
He is our help and our shield"
Psalm 29:11
'"The Lord will give strength
unto his people; the Lord will
bless His people with peace"
lisa. 1922
"There is no peace sayeth the
Lord unto the wicked"
We cannot blame this war on
Germany or any other. nation, but
all have strayed away from the
Lord. America, which is called
a Christian nation, I am afraid, is
like old Peter. She is following
afar off. I believe if every
Christian in America would dc
as Simon Peter did-he went out
wept bitterly, repented of his
wrong-we would soon have
peace again i'm our land.
David of old did not have tanks
and guns. He did not have on
uniform when he went forth
to meet the giant, but best of all
he had God, the giver of all pow
er.
