Flint (4,963 tons) by the German pocket battle- ship Deutschland (10,000 tons), which put on board a prize crew of 18, armed with revolvers, daggers and hand-grenades.

They took the City of Flint through Arctic waters to the North Russian port of Murmansk. There the prize crew were detained, and later released, by the Russians.

The most dramatic event occurred last Saturday when Norway arrested the Nazi Prize Crew and set the ship free.

LONDON, Nov. 6 (Reuter), A special commentary issued to day states that the false claims of the sinkings of British naval ships made by the German Ministry of Propaganda have attained grotesque limits in the German broadcast announce ments that H.M.S. Kestral has been sunk by a U-boat by clover tactics,

It is the practice of the British Admiralty to give their shore stations a Royal Naval Air Station situated many miles from the sea.

They reveal the measure of Hitler's disappointment. Sixty-eight per cent. of Russian railroads, it is shown, are one-way tracks, so that their capacity to supply Germany overland is strictly limited. Russia has only 500,000 goods trucks in use-fower than Germany, who is short of them. and Also, the lines are of a different gauge, necessitate goods being reloaded into German wagons at the frontier. Exports estimate that six months will be needed to get an overland supply working.

Luxembourg Looks On

At War Near Border

THE Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, overrun within 24 hours by the Germans in August 1914, is watching the new war on her doorstep with great composure, says "Associated Press."

The difference between 1914 and 1989 is noted with satis- faction. To-day," far from taking the offensive, the Ger- the mans take cover behind Siegfried line, which many con- sider as being in no way com- parable with the French Maginot Line.
