CROSSED SWORDS

In the list of Coast and Ship Sta- tions published in June, 1939, by the International Union Telegraphic Wireless Communications of Berne, a German vessel named Altmark ap- pears marked with the crossed swords signal sign and as having the call "D.T.A.K." alloted her.

The International Union which is sponsored by the International Postal Union obtains information for the compilation of the list from the Gov- ernment departments of the countries concerned.

Crossed swords is the conventional sign indicating a ship so marked to be a warship.

These two facts are felt to show that at some date prior to June, 1939, the German Government informed the International Union that the Altmark was a warship giving this information for the purpose of enabl- ing the Union to include accurate details in the published list.

It is difficult to see by what metamor-
