How Plane Attacked Lighthouse Men
HELE are the first pictures to be taken on board the lighthouse neller vessel, Reculver, after she had been attacked by a Nazi beraber,
The steamer was making the rounds of lightships with rellof -crows when the Nazi plane swept down on her.
Hembs struck the ship, and machine-guns raked the decks, -wounding 32 of the 40 men on board,
BUCKLED PLATES and gaping hole in the deck are ample evidence of the murderous attack on the Reculver. A bomb did this damage. Near the bottom of the funnel can be seen bullet holes made during the half-hour's attack,
THE CREW of the Reculver could not escape. The boats were riddled with bullets and, as is shown above, daylis were wrecked, making launching impossible,
FURTHER PROOF of the concentrated attack on the Trinity House vessel. The engine-room telegraph on the bridge was smashed by bullets and the captain escaped death by a miracle.

REALISM NEEDED
British Press And The
Norway Situation
LONDON, May 6 (Reuter).- The British press to-day did not give much space to speculations about Tuesday's debate in the House of Commons, most of the papers being content to put for- ward their own views.
Opinions differ, but they have a thing in common-their insistence on absolute realism.
The "Daily Express" says that we may be confident but we must not he complacent.
Government's Duty
The "Dally Telegraph" says that it is the Government's duty to give a full explanation of everything that has happened. The public is waiting with an open mind, perplexed by various questions to which an answer is expected.
It may well be that Government has a complete answer. In that case, It will enjoy the continued confl- dence of the people.
in the
There is little suggestion British press that Government was wrong to attempt the expedition to central Norway, but some papers, such
as the Labour "Dally Herald," Boys that it Government knew that it was such a difficult job, it ought not to have made such complacent statements
Under-Estimating Enemy
The "News Chronicle" believe that the Arst humdrum months of the war have lulled us into under-estimating the enemy. That.complacency is the to only thing which can lead 119 defeat.
Under the heading, "A Warning and An Opportunity," an editorial in the "Times" discusses the organisation machinery of the Government, a subject the paper has been dealing with during the past few days.
Labour Party's Duty
The main effect on the people of the withdrawals from Norway, says the "Times," has been to stiffen their determination to make a greater effort than ever before. There has been a setback and the leading con- clusion is that there is room for im provement.
An important requirement would be to broaden the whole basis of the Government by having in-it-members of the Labour Party. The Labour Party will be in the Government before the war is over, says the "Times." It Is now the Labour
Party's duty to put forward 'cand!- dates for office.
