Berlin, July 12.

Submarine and air bases and a chain of forts just com- pleted have made Germany's 500 miles of North-west coast-line invincible.

These fortifications, installed at lightning speed in the past year, run from Emden to the Danish frontier : and include Heligoland.

From Borkum and Nordeney up to the larger islands of Syldt | and Fosby the roar of giant · seaplanes can be heard as defence exercises are practised.

A review of these defences in the Allgemeine Zeitung declares that Heligoland is now a virtual "ahield" held out before the steel walls of constal defences.

Cinemas for Children

BRITAIN'S children may have

cinemas, with

their own "C" films, and with signs posted up: "No Grown-ups ; Admitted."

The first step has been taken with the dispatch by the British Film! Institute of 4,300 questionnaires to cinema managers,

"It is bound to support our con- viction that the six million children between 6 and 14 in this country will never be equately catered for until they have their own cinema," nn official of the Institute said,
