BECAUSE of the war nobody wants to adopt baby boys. Adop
tlon societies are snowed under with letters from mothers who want to find childless couples willing to relieve them of the responsibility of bringing up their baby sons.
"Everyone wants baby girls now," the Rev. W. F.

but the crisis changed all that.
Nowa is flooding out of Berlin into all neutral countries; and the Press of those countries is almost entirely without
news from London.
"During the last 12 months we received applications for baby boys at the rate of only one a fortnight. Since the war began we have not received one inquiry, for a boy.

Although the censor's office is re- colving
much criticism, the blame does not entirely lie in that depart- ment: It lies largely in the various Government Departments and with the Imperial General Starf, who do not yet realise that war is no longer professional mutter merely tor soldiers or that world opinion may be as important as army corps.

Altempts are now being made to remedy this official neglect of neutral opinion whose importance the Nazi authorities fully realise.

"The submarines weigh about 100 tons each, and can be lowered over- board with a crew of twelve.
"When the fuel is exhausted the submarines can be picked up again by the mother vessel."
And this is the technical comment In London naval eircles:
A 100-ton submarine would be singularly ineffective in any but the
dler calinest waters. A ship with rick capable of raising and inwering such a heavy object would be ab- normal, and would attract speedy attention.

MYSTERY FATE OF HITLER'S FOOD-TASTER
COPENHAGEN. IEUTENANT ERNST BAHLS, Hitler's favourite adjutant, has died suddenly in mysterious circum- stances at the age of twenty-four.
This is revealed in a death notice In the Vocikischer Beobachter, which says he died after "a short, but sert aus Ulness."
Nothing is sold about the nature of the illness; no mention of death is made in the news columns.
-Rumours have arisen that he died f-from-poisoning, as he often acted
as Hitler's food-taster.
It is recalled that Hitler's body- guard driver Schreck died several years ago-in circumstances just as mysterious.
