THE CHINA MAIL, JANUARY 17, 1940
LOSS OF THREE BRITISH SUBMARINES IN THE BIGHT
London, To-day.
THE ADMIRALTY ANNOUNCES that during the past week, three British submarines have not returned to their bases nor reported, and it is feared that they must now be regarded as lost.
They are the Seahorse, Undine and Starfish.
All three sub-
marines, says the Admiralty communique, were “en- gaged on particularly hazardous service."
The loss of two is mentioned in a German high command communique, which says they were destroyed by "German defence measures" in the Heligoland Bight and that part of the crews were saved.
These are the first British sub- marines to have been sunk by enemy action during the present war.
The Undine was a small ship of 540 tons, with a complement of 27 men. Completed in September, 1938, she was a sister-ship of the Ursula which, It will be recalled, German light cruiser
sank
under particularly daring cir. cumstances last month.
The Starfish, one of four of the Swordfish class, was of 840 tons and carried
of a complement
40 men. She was completed in 1933.
The Seahorse was also of the Swordfish class and was completed
about the same time as the Starfish. ― Reuter.
I WORKED FOR GOEBBELS
(Continued from Page 10) presents arrived from morning until night. Soon the Ministry was filled with all kinds of knick-knacks.
I found the next day on my desk cheap plaster copies of two famous pieces of Greek art. Many presents were of this kind. The garden of the Ministry was filled with statuettes which suffered so badly under the next rain that Arnim Schweitzer, whom Goebbels promoted on his birth- day to "Reichs-commissar for artistic decoration", had to have all the plas- ter pieces painted again in a greyish` brown.
Hitler came to congratulate Goob. bela personally.

At eleven o'clock in the the Wilhelmstrasse and the square were closed.
At one o'clock Hitler marched through, followed by two of his body- guards, men who must be two metres high, who carried a large oil painting of Hitler high above his head.
It was rather a comical sight, the little model and his heroic portrait walking along the street.

I had to wait almost a year before I
got my chance to escape.
One morning I received news from America that a relative of my father had died in the United States and had left me a respectable inheritance.
I asked my superiors for a permit to take my vacation in the States in order to liquidate the inheritance
there.

After weeks of delay in which could not sleep because of the sus- pense, I received the permit. The need for foreign exchange is so great in Germany that any doubts that would come back may have been over- ridden by it.
Also I had my own fortune in Ger- many; two houses, my apartment, and my bank account. Would leave them behind? They obviously thought not. I was not allowed to take more than four dollars with me.
My American Inheritance I did not get. Nazi relatives who shared in the Inheritance took care that my part
was sent over to Germany wh
