GERMANS READY TO

'STRAFE ENGLAND"
WHATEVER MAY BE the views at present held in Germany about a possible invasion of Britain, it was cer- tainly regarded as feasible by somebody in the last war.
In 1915 the German General Staff issued a little volume entitled "Sprachfuhrer fur den Westichen Kriekschau- platz," or "Phrase Book for the Western Theatre of War." On the evidence of that book the Western Theatre then in- cluded England, and it is clear that some "frightfulness" had been prepared for the English countryside. Indeed, the watchword stamped upon the little volume is the old Ger- man prayer "Zum Geleit: Gott Strafe England."

GERMANS 'MASTER RACE'
The Germans are " race of masters" (Herranvolk).
This is "Warahauer Warsaw
the boast of the Zeitung, founded in shortly after the Nazi-occupation. "Just as within any race the best elements are destined to be the fighters, leaders, and guaran- tors of progress and order,” saya the newspaper, "so among races certain people and States are destined by fate to play a leading role in their sphere.
"It was not easy to enforce our claim of leadership. To- day, however, Germans lead in Central Europe, the region en- trusted to them bý fate. Who- ever opposes us in
this region will be amashed.

"The Polish State taken by fate because its leaders thought they could disregard the Justified claims of the German masters.-This ̄meant disregard of the national relationships and disregard of the German mission. Germany will now fulfil her duties as a race of masters for all time."
Flood Facts
That the Great Flood of the Bible which drove Noah and his small com- munity to the sanctuary of the Ark can be confirmed and dated by means of science is the contention of noted Itallan seismologist, Professor Raffaele Bendandi.
Bendandi,-known as "the wonder man of Faenza," is a wood-carver who has gained fame through his accuracy in predicting earthquakes, for his dis- covery of four new planets beyond Nephine.
