James lists five, possibly seven

Nazi naval strength is concen-
trated in submarines, with James
reporting up TO 574 built or un-.

and more than 100 sunk in the
first three years of war.
In the special War Loss sec
ton, James gives an accurate
compilation of losses of various
world navies, with dates and
scenes of action. Perhaps the
most extensive losses have been
suffered by the British, with five
battlcShipS, five carriers, %
cruisers and l0l deStroyers sunk.
James lists L S. losses as includ-

eight cruisers, and 20 destroyers.

Stewart II Holbrook likens
our preparedness, lack of fore
thought, and leave it to Joe"
attitude in connection with for
est preservation to our lasSitude
in connection with impending
wars. In his "Buring an En-
pire,' MACMILLAN: $3.50 he
states: In a way. this casual
ness with forest fires is very
much the way of the United
States with war-when it comes
is time enough to start getting
ready
Complacently you've taken all
the forest fires you've ever read
about, even the most recent ones
on the west coast. But when you
begin TO figure the loss in lives,
current and potential lumber
supplies, loss TO the soil from
erosion and other incidents, you
get an idea of how horrific forest
fires are.
Holbrook in a very interesting
way traces the holoeausts of the
forests from the early days of
numbering up TO the present
and you'll be surprised how
close TO home what you thought
dry figures were will come.
