CHASE
INDIAN NAVAL OF ITALIANS OFF MASSAWA
HOW A SLOOP of the Royal Indian Navy was responsible for the capture of two Italian islands off Massawa and how a small party from the same vessel chased and finally cap- tured a party of Italian soldiers, including a brigadier-general and a 'colonel who tried to escape in a dhow, is recounted in a despatch received in Simla yesterday.
The sloop, commanded by an officer from Poona who was the first officer to hold a commission in the Royal Naval Reserve, was ordered after the fall of Massawa, to clean up the islands of Nocra and Dahlak, where the Italians were still in occupation.

THE SWASTIKA
WILL WAVE NO MORE
Four stormy years of waving swastika flags and shouting "Heil" at Camp Nordland, New Jersey, came to an end yesterday with the sale of the camp and surrender of the charter of the Ger- man-American Bund in New Jersey State.
The Bund's counsel revealed that the camp was sold for $23,500 to 217 individual mortgagees and the charter returned the Secretary of State -a few hours after the New Jersey State Legislature passed a low repealing the charter. Reuter.
