Germany Builds 500-mile Steel Wall Mighty Chain of Air Bases Two Hours from London
Coast Bristling
Guns
With
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 Nordency up to the larger islands of Syldt and Foshr the roar of giant, seaplanes can be heard as defence exercises are practised,
The islands are within about two hours' flight from
London.
A review of these defences in the Allgemeine Zeitung declares that Heligoland is now a virtual "shield" held out before the steel walls of coastal defences.
The Voellische Beobachter describes the island as "the ideal base for German submarines and ! torpedo boats.
"The interior of the isla has been built once morn into a fortress," this Journal states.
"Submarine and torpedo bout
harbours are being constructed, and on the upper part of the island the barrels of light and heavy artillery stund out against the horizon."
The tunnel, which was stopped up with concrete by the Allies as part of the destruction of the fortificatletis,, has been reopened. This enables heavy material to be rapidly transported from sen level to the forlifications above.
A large new naval garrison has; been created in the former little fishing town of Brake at the mouth of the Weser above Bremen. SPANISH WAR LESSON
Since April of the your Broke has served as the headquarters of the Fourth North Sea Naval Detach- ment.
New barrucks hose four com-3 panies of marines, to be increased shortly to five.
Six hundred-recruits are training there in order. as the Berliner Tapeblatt remarks "To be able to take over the protection of Germans on land in cases such as that of the, Spanish war."
The naval ports and shipyards of Wilhelmshaven are heavily fortified.
Hendquarters of the coastal de- fences of Schleswigholstein up to the Danish frontier are at Cuxhaven.
Minés, aircraft, and units of the German Navy protect the port, while guns of high calibre can be sees jutting out from the surrounding Band dunca.into the sen,
But there are other fortfica- tions which dare not.. be mentioned.
Cuxhaven is also the centre of the mine laying section of the North Sea defences of the naval wireless station. A series of anti-aircraft bases surround the little town to protect it from surprise attack.-Reuter.
Cinemas for Children
Only
BRITAIN'S children may have
their own einemus, 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,
This census will, it is expected, prove that the present situation in regard to the cinema and the child is even less satisfactory than is generally thought.
"It is bound to support our con- viction that the six million children between 5 and 14 in this country will never be adequately catered until they have their own cinema."! an ometal of the Institute said.
for
The aim of the census is to show that the "U", entegory is funda- mentally wrong.
HOAX ON BRITISH WARSHIP?
Mediterranean for the crew of a II.M.S. Penelope, searching the
British vessel reported sunk by In submarine, is believed to be
the victim of a hoax.
An SOS from the British crew, to have been found in a reported small boat bearing the almost inde- cipherable name Cid or Gib, sent the warship on its errond.
Later it was announced by the Admiralty that the ship could not be the Cid, which left Gibraltar for London on July 2 The four Bland Line steamers whose names beşin with Gih ply only across the Straits of Gibraltar.

John Boles Accuses Woman Of Blackmail
Los Angeles. July 12. Detectives to-day arrested June Bates, at Oakland (Califorala). for alleged compilelty in an extortion plot against film star John Boles and his wife.
Miss Bates is said to have sent the couple threatening letters and demands for money--for four years. Her letter to Mrs. Boles, asking for £100, said: "I intend to expose the dope-ring in Las Au- geles, and that brings you in as a head-liner as well as your old man. I gave you the chance to pay off for silence, but you didn't see it that Way."
