Of the boy from Utah.
In the block-long queue in front

Miss Lupino provoked the biting

Maj. Eliot Predicts Concentration Of U-Boots
To Prey on Ships Along West Coast of Africa

into the Gulf of Mexico and the
Caribbean Sea.
Here for weeks they have had a
happy hunting ground. but now
conveys have been instituted as
escort vessels have become available
and increased deliveries of escort
craft of the corvette type will
shortly permit much greater efici-
ency in the convoy system.
Where will the U-boats go then2
They cannot range too far afield
and they are not likely to return
to the old system of scattered. hit
or-miss operations unless they are
compelled to do so. German subma-
rine policy Is to go where the pick
ings are easy. where they can get
high return in Allied merchant
vessels sunk or damaged for their
investment of time, material and
effort.
Operations Off Africa Expected.
The most likely point for future
German submarine concentrations
seems to be the west coast of Africa.
The Persian Gulf route seems likely
to be of increased Importance in
the supply of Russia. All supplies
for Egypt and the Middle East must
now come from the United States
and the British Isles rather than in
part from Australia and the Neither
lands Indies as formerly, and Allied
power in India is ebeing built up as
rapidly as possible.
Whether originating from East
ern United States ports or from
the British Isles, shipping to all
these destinations must pass by the
west coast of Africa. On that coast
are located the stations of the great
ferry route for aircraft proceeding
to India and the Middle East and
these stations must receive their
supplies largely by sea.
1t seems likely, therefore, that in
the immediate future we will hear
more of Dakar and the other Vichy
seaports in this vicinity, and the
question of their tenure and use
may again become of immediate
strategical Importance.

Younghusband, Writer
And Explorer, Dies
AT 7o in Britain
Led Expedition TO Tibet
40 Years Ago; Directed
First Mt. Everest Climb
p TIE Associated Press

LONDON, Aug. 1-Sir Francis
Edward Younghusband, 10. soldier
writer and explorer of Tibet and
Northern India, died yesterday at
Lytchett-Minister, near Poole, after
short illness.
Sir Francis, born in India. lived
half his life in Asia. He attained
fame when he led a British expedi-
ton to the forbidden city of Lhassa
40 years ago.
Extensive exploration in India,
China and Tibet and journeys
through the mystic laden lands of
the Himalayas largely were respon-
sible for the deep thinking and pro-
life writings of Sir Francis Edward
Younghusband
Concerned first with soldering
and geographical research, he pro-
gressed to political spade work for
the British Government in the
Orient, became an administrator of
British provinces in India, then
linked science and spiritual fields
to write profoundly on the universe
and the stars, expounding the prob
ability of life on other planets and
the place of man in the divine plan
of materialism.
Expedition to Tibet.
Probably his greatest feat in po-
litical exploration was an expedition
which in 1904 penetrated the for
bieden land of Tibet, visited Lhassa
and opened this mystic city to Brit
ish influence. One result was that
the Tibetan authorities in later
years granted full facilities to the
successive attempts to climb Mt.
Everest.
Sir Francis. as president of the
Royal Geographic Society, post to
which he was elected in 1919, super
vised the first attempts to scale the
worlds highest peak in 1921, 1922
and 1924.
Years later in his book, Everest
the Challenge" 1896, he described
vividly the terrors of the last 1000
feet up the mountain but prophesied
it eventually would be conquered,
Faith In India's Future.
Sir Francis was born May 81, 1863,
in Murree, India. the second of three
sons OF Maj. Gen. John William
Younghusband. His brothers, Sir
George John Younghusband and
Leslie Napier Younghusband, at
tanned their fathers army rank.
Sir Francis was commissioned in
the Dragon Guards in 1882 and
reached the rank of lieutenant
colonel in 1908. But his army career
was secondary to his exploration.
Always deeply understanding of
Evening star., 1942-08-02

India and its peoples, he had faith
in the future of the great peninsula
and commanded widespread respect
there. He thought India was most
remarkable in the sphere OF religion.
He revealed his own deep-seated
beliefs by speech and writing. At
f1rming his faith in the existence of
divine purpose behind human life,
he wrote:
Unless some spiritual influence
has been acting in or on the atoms
OF which the sun and the drop of it
our own planet-are composed, we
hardly can believe that by any COM
bination OF atoms alone could have
been produced the saints, the
heroes, the poets and the musicians
we know"
Always he kept in close touch with
India. He was there in March, 1897.
when Charles A. Lindbergh and his
wife visited the country on an ex-
ploratory air jaunt and he made
several flights with the American
aviator. One of these took him to
Calcutta where Younghusband at
tended a congress Of religions.
What he regarded as the highest
honor he ever received was given
him a few weeks later by the council
OF pundits Of the Sanskrit college
at Bombay. The honor was a title,
"karma Keshari," or Lion of En-
terprise.'

LONDON, Aug 1.-THE crash OF

crew of three in an adventure re-
miniscent of an old-fashioned melo-

tonight through the British Air
Ministry.
The crew, Ferry Command Pilot

had flown a Lockheed Hudson from
Montreal to Newfoundland. There
they got an urgent call to make a
survey flight over Northwest Green
land.
They completed the mission but
encountered sleet and electrical
storm which crippled all navigation
instruments. Then one of the two
engines went dead.
Crashes Through Ice.
Webb tried twice to come down
on ice-covered sheets of inland
water, but the wheels broke through
and he had to climb. Finally the
gasoline was exhausted and he had
to land. The planes nose tilted
forward
With a roar like thunder it
crashed through the ice" Webb said.

when we saw and heard something

wilderness of mountains, ice and
water was team of dogs, and be-

1t was an American detachment

previously.
Eskimo Village Nearby.
They told the flyers there was an
Eskimo village nearby, and not an
other one for 500 miles in any di-
rection.
Their radio signals were picked
up and relayed by transatlantic
planes.
For IS days rescue was impossible
because there was no place for a
plane to land. Finally an 80-mile-
an-hour wind cleared the ice from
several miles of water, leaving space
for flying boat to alight The res
cue plane also brought an 8-month
collection of mail for the American
ground force.

BY MAI. GEORGE FIELDING
ELIOT.

The Germans have shown con-
siderable imagination in the employ
ment Of their submarines. The sub
marine arm. like the air arm, pos
sesses a considerable degree of
strategic fleXibility: that is to say.
the submarine moves in an element
in which it is difficult to find or
intercept it, and submarine forces
can be concentrated almost at will
in any theater of operations without
much chance of the enemy being
able to anticipate and prevent such
movements.
In their submarine war, the Ger
mans have not fallen into the error
of too great dispersal OF force. They
have tended to concentrate their
efforts in order to produce the great
est effect.
Recognizing that in the very
nature of things merchant shipping
is our most vulnerable point. they
have struck at that shipping relent-
lessly from the very beginning of the
war, and no one can deny that they
have achieved important results.
Shifts in the German submarine
campaign have taken place in ac-
cordance with circumstances-cir-
cumstances brought about by our
need for concentrating shipping at
various maritime areas and by the
efficiency or otherwise of our defen-
sive measures in those areas. When
the pickings became poor, or our
defensive measures became too
strong. the German submarines
went elsewhere and started all over
again.
Spent Year Building Fleet.
AS already remarked, Germany
has operated her submarines vigor-
ously from the very beginning but
the real intensity of German sub
marine warfare did not show itself
until the occupation of Norway and
France gave Germany bases on the
open Atlantic which were not con-
tanned by the geographical position
of the British Isles.

conquests, the Germans spent the
first year of the war in building up
their submarine fleet and training
officers and crews. After the fall of
France, German submarines co-op-
Grating with long-range aircraft
began to make their presence felt in
that area of the Atlantic Ocean
known as the western approaches
to the British Isles.
They succeeded in closing the
English Channel and the southern
entrance to the Irish Sea to ocean
conveys, compelling almost all con-
voys to use the western ports Of
Great Britain by the route north
OF Ireland. They then began to con-
centrate In the area northwest Of
Ireland, which became known as
the graveyard of ships"
improvements in British defensive
measures forced the Germans to
range farther afield, although this
became increasingly possible as ad-
ditional submarines of greater radius
OF action were built, but the CO.
operation of the United States Navy
permitted the institution of system
OF convoy and patrol which, as 1t
was strengthened and improved,
made the North Atlantic less and
less profitable for the U-boat
whether operating singly or in packs.
New Field Opened
The entry of the United States
into the war, however, opened up a
new and rich field into which the
German submarine moved eagerly.
This was the coastal shipping of
the United States. The efficiency
of the individual submarine was re-
duced by the fact that much of her
time had to be spent in passage
to and fro across the Atlantic, but
this was compensated for by the
almost complete lack of protection,
at first, for the coastwise shipping
However, from very small be-
ginnings, far better system of
protection was built up and sink
ings along the coast of the United
States began to dwindle. Thereupon
the German submarines moved still
farther outward from their bases,

President Roosevelt, described by

Is enforcement ana capture Oh LI1e
, British base at Matruh, including
5000 prisoners, was claimed by the
Axis communiques, which said that
advance forces of Nazi Field Mar
shall Erwin Rommel were pushing
farther eastward on the 160-mlle
road to Alexandria naval base, key
to control of the eastern Mediter-
ranean.
Cairo dispatches acknowledged
that the enemy had broken into the
British lines and pushed at least
Is miles southeast of Matruh, where
battles still were in progress, and
London indicated that the desert
coastal base might, have been aban-
doned. But the British, after los
ing Tobruk due to a static defense,
were fighting lin depth" on the
Matruh sector in the hope of ex-
hausting and stopping Rommel.
BOMBERS ACTIVE
Raj bombers, which have been
strongly supported by United States
units, continued to hammer at ROM
mel's rear lines, supply bases and
advance spearheads and United
Press Correspondent Richard D.
Mcmillan reported that many black
clouds of smoke arose on a 50-mile
desert front near Matruh.
Whether the British eighth army,
presumably reinforced but still too
weak to meet Rommel head-on, could
achieve its goal by persistent coun-
ter-attacks and blows at the enemy
supply lines may not be decided
for several days, but the outlook
was not encouraging on the baSi3
of late reports.
The Nazi desert advance, coupled
with new but still indecisive Axis
offensive blows on the south Rus
sian front, left no doubt that Hitler
was making an all-Out bid to reach
the Near East and thus strike one OF
hthe heaviest blows of the war at the
United Nations.
GERMAN GOAL
Rommel is aiming not only at con-
quest of all of Egypt, which would
squeeze the British Mediterranean
fleet into a corner where 1t would
be much less effective, but at the
back door to the Caucasus.
The Near East'S oil fields might be
destroyed by the Allies if necessary
but if the Germans can reach the
eastern end of the Mediterranean
and thus protect their sea supply
lines to that area, an important
route for American and British sup
plies to Russia, India and China
would be cut off or made extremely
difficult.
Such blow might prove decisive
