"They have rendered a great service, carrying out these long arduous sweeps over the sea which tax so surely a man's cour- age and endurance.

"They are there to-day in the Tanks of those who are fighting the Battle of the Atlantic, a battle which may well prove to be the most important of all."-- British Wireless.

ITALIAN FLAG AT R.A.F. MESS

The Italian Garrison flag which formerly flew over Fort Capuzzo is now at R.A.F. Headquarters in the Western Desert where it hangs over the doorway of the Officers' Mess of a bomber squadron,

This Squadron had taken a leading part in the continuous bombing of the Fort.

A dare-devil. pilot landed, triumphantly seized the Garrison flag, brought it back and present- ed it to the Bomber Squadron.

One corner.of the flag is tatter- ed from bomb splinters."

BY PONY TO THE SENATE

For the first time a member of -the Eire' Legislatúre drove to the meeting of the Senate in Dublin with a pony and trap. He used the pony because he had no petrol for his car.

Another senator, seeing him ar- rive, remarked: "One hundred miles to the gallon of water."
