Of the many outbursts he has made this latest is by far the weakest, for he at last is admitting being over whelmed by the audacity of tee British people, His utterances were so contradicting throughout that one was left wondering jusa what to make of it. One moment he called Britain a 03eleagured Fort- ress and that the navy bad been swept from the seas. Next moment he was Ibit'terly complaining be- cause Germany and occupied terri- tory was being blockaded and ask- ing the world what right one nation had to starve millions of people with whom she was at war. It sounded like a cry of anguish when he bellowed forth his astonish ment that the rest of the world especially America were not friendly toward him. Perhaps his memory is very short or else his conception of right and wrong does not happen to coincide with ours. The world la general cannot accept the actions of the Natzi Party since coming Into ;power, as friendly gestures. How can he expect the world to excase the persecution of all religious teachings imprisoning,yes, even executing, persons worshiping any- one nyone but he himself. The whole- sale slaughter of military leaders who failed to do his immediate bid dings, the plundering of every small nation within his reach, the absolute disregard of the rights of the indi- dividual, above all his ruthless methods of attack, bombing women and children hurrying from his armed forces, the sinking of the Athenia, the Steamship laden with refugee children, and so many other attracitiea. No, Hitler, the world does not like such methods. June Story ' ' ;Gun -play and sono play as Gene piths strings to snare a 'secret plotter.

In this unfortunate happening, Mr. Inglis suffered greatly from the. effects of the lye. Dr. C. E. Conners was, immediately called and relieved, the :suffering man as quickly as he contd... . —o— He speaks of 03ritain as a be, leagured fortress. We think he has again made a very strange state- ment. It is Germany not Brittain that is "beleagured." At the presenr time ships from all parts of the world are being convoyed into the harbors of Brittain, yet not a single. convoy of German ships are enter- ing or leaving Germany. Day after day crowded troopships and ships laden with war supplies ars crossing the oceans to Brittain. Even the blue waters of the Medi• teranean are being constantly patroled by the British navy, con- voying. ,troops to Egypt, despite the fact that it is right in Italy's "back yard," and Mussolini bas • boasted his navy would control all passage through it, So far all his navy has done is scurry to home portaon sight of the British navy.
