HAPPEN TO THE ARK ROYAL?
You will remember that Nazi Leading-Aircraftman Francke received promotion and the Iron Cross (1st and 2nd Class) for outstanding courage in the face of the enamy. He had "sunk" the British aircraft-carrier Ark Royal. Said Goering. Said Goebbels. Said Hitler. And Dio Wehrmacht, German news-magazine, illustrated the war's most extraordinary feat- tho Sinking of a Worship that is Still Afloat, "A 1,2001b. bomb hits the enemy vessel," it is headed, and the artist gives his "impression" of a direct hit ending the life of the Ark Royal, "All the attacking planos," of coune, "returned safely to their basos."

Nazis Short
Of Men and
Materials
NAZI shipbuilding yards engaged on the construction of U-boats are short of skilled labour and material:
The Stettin yard, which is engaged exclusively on naval work, has had to increase work- ing hours. Only in this way is the yard able to keep up its turn- over. The lack of, skilled men is acute.
Krupps, too, nccording to reports from German sources, are experienc- ing the same difficulty. Another yard affected the famous Blohm and Vote concern at Hamburų.
Ships Undelivered
At the outbreak of war there was a large number of ships under con- struction in German yards for for .eign countries in exchange for frozen credits. Many of these vessels arc still undelivered owing to the Inck of materials.
Germany's claims that she can balance her submarine losses by new boats are vastly exaggerated. She also claims list in 1817 ber U-boat output was one a day and that she expeels to improve on that production.
In actual fact the production of ---German-submarines-in-1917-did not approach the figure they claim. For the whole of that year the number commissioned was only 87, varying between four and 12 per month.
