band Just August and September, and, with repetition of design and some mass- production of parts, a submarion can be completed in nine or ten montha The Gemmons have donze it before, and were organised to do it again.

But they cannot do it a great numbers. Their best yearly aver- age will not be more than eight to nine a month That gure is im portant, because we know from Mr Churchill's statements in Parlament that our hunting craft, when the first German U-boat push wies al 1 height and there were plenty of targets, were sinking them ot the rate of "between Two and four a week."'

The rate has gone down lately because there were hardly any U- boats at large, but If we can repeat that rale against the new push we shall be sinking submarines as fast as they are produced.

The Nazla have one possible ad- vantage that the old Imperial German Navy Jacked, They are in control of all the shipbuilding yards in Denmark and Holland,

We need not consider Norway, because the raw materials and parts would have to be sent there by sea. But Denmark and Holland between them have building slips and grav- ing docks from which ʼn maximuta annun launching of about 170 new U-boats would be poss.ble though Improbable,

But even if only half that capa- elly were reached, It would mean a doubling of output of the Nazis' own yards.

Nor is it only in hulls that the scized resources of the two coun- tries would be valuable. The great Burmeister and Waln Diesel cn- gine works in Copenhagen have an annual output of marine oil engines totalling 235,000 h.p.

That alone is enough to equip 100 U-boats of the 750-ton type. There is another Danish works that could produce 1

further twenty seis of engines a year, while in Holland the main engine works have an annual output of 270,000 h.p.

It is clear that, if the Nazis con make the native workmen keep up their output, engines for nearly 240 new U-boats could be built each year outside the production of the Nazi works in Germany.

'That presupposes unlimited sup- plies of metal. There we have no exact statistics to guide us, but it is a fair assumption that there is not, and will not be, the quantity of material available to give anything like that output of engines.

All at once he was conscious of a terrible sound from outside, the hoarse savage howling of a mob. But it seemed to come from a sin- gle voice. He moved to the balus- trade. Down below, there was a buge, crackling bon fire and stu- dents danced around it.

Freya's only noloce was Martin. At night, she would meet him on the bridge near the Cathedral and they would whisper talk of old times, of better times when they had gone on pirates and listened to the Wednesday afternoon concerts

But even that was spoiled catas- trophically one night when Martin brought her home. Erich and Otto had been acting like strangera but even Freya hadn't thought they would go so far as to asult their old friend right in front al their own door. Only Freyn's screams saved Martin for her mother came running out and shamed the boys into stopping the unevenly matched fight.

That night Erich and Otte look their belongings and left. It was clearly a hard cholce for them but they made without even a word of farewell to the stepfather whom they had once loved so dearly.

Freya had made Martin promise not to see her again. It was for her safety, she had told him. But it was for his own life that she feared. The boys inight wait for him again next time they would have their plans made well,

But finally a day come when the longing to see him rould be borne no longer. She left the house

French Purchases Come To England

London, July 6. General Weygand's last act 05 Generalisimo of the Anglo-French forces was to sign over to Britain the aircraft already delivered by the United States to France, under an agreement made a few hours before the armistice was signed.

Some of the French airplanes have already arrived in this country, and Britain is taking over the delivery of the whole output of the aircraft foc tories working in the United States. All the factories in the United States subsidised by French capital have been working full pelt since war was declared, and a formidable air fleet will come into Britain's hands as a result of this agreement."
