They may be out in the war- zone screening the battle fleet. They may be sending, their tor- pedoes crashing into an enemy warship.

AMERICA'S stake in Nether-

AS THE results of last week's Ger- man air ruids on Britain come to be sumuned up by neutral observers, becomes increasingly evident that one of the most important victories of the entire war has gone to the Royal Force. The Nazi losses have been so staggering that doubts have been cast on the authenticity of the Air Ministry reports. These,

They said then that their guns and torpedoes were ready for the German Fleet to come out, and that they would give all they had to "have a go at them.”

They'll be "having a go at them "now.

Aboard each destroyer will be about 175 men, each with his own. Job to do manning' 4.7-inch and smaller guns, ready at the tor pedoes, whipping up the engines full speed ahead, or ready to send their depth charges thundering through the seas to smash a U- boat,

In the last war, whenever there was a dirty job to be done, some- спе in authority always said,

The only difference in this war Is that they'll go out and do the job at more than the speed they dreamed of in the last war.

When you read the news of what the Navy is doing in this vital

phase of the war at sea, think of the men of the destroyers.

Italian Hospital And Church

To Keep Open

Two Italian institutions in London, at any rate, hope to be able to keep their doors open throughout the war,

Even if all the Italians in London [are interned there are sufficient trish ' men and women employed there to see the war through,

The two institutions are the Italian Hospital, in Queen's-square, and St. Peter's Italian Church, in Clerken- well-road. Both are carrying on as usual,

The house surgeon of the Italian Hospital is an Italian, but most of the nurses are Irish, as very few Itallon giris in England take up nursing.

The hospital is visited by several famous Harley-street specialists.

Of the Italian church's two priests. one is an Irishman, the Rev. R. Ken- nedy. Many of the congregation, though Italian by birth. arc naturalised.

Father Kennedy said:

"Things will go on as usual here. In this district most of the Italian people are disgusted with Mussolini's action. They have lived here for many years and are really English."
