SPECIAL RETURN ENGAGEMENT TO-DAY ONLY VIVIAN LEIGH THRILLS YOU AGAIN ! SENSATIONAL EUROPEAN SECRET SERVICE OPERATIONS I

A story of brave men and beautiful women who lie, spy and risk their lives for their country, cach doing their best to out-wit the other in the most dangerous game of all in this world's war.

"M. Sarajoglu, the Turkish Foreign Minister, was present at the interview ESPIONAGE, SPY, COUNTER SPY AND MYSTERIOUS WOMEN! which took place at the President's Feastle at Chankaya, near Ankarn.”

cruisers and 13 destroyers, while it is thought that few of the 70 U-boats with which she began the war still remain in service.

Excluding the damage at Taranto, italy has lost a cruiser, seven destroyers and at least 30 submarines. On the world's new capital ships construction, all with the exception of four Japanese pocket battleships are of at least 35,000 tons while 20, if not more, are of 40,000 tons Dr The latter include four British of the Lion class, the first two of which are due to be completed in 1043.

over.

The United States has 17 battle- ships building or on order and it is suggested that some of these may have a displacement of $2,000 tons.

Other Heins of the American build- ing programme include 12 aircraft carriers, 54 cruisers, 200 destroyers and 60 submarines.

is impossible to guess how many submarines Germany has laid down since there is no solid basis for the American estimate of 300, but it is believed that this figure is by no means unreasonable,

Unconfirmed

reports suggest that German capital ships under construc tion

may include two 40,000-ton vessels to be called Friedrich der Grosse and Hindenburg while reports that the battleships Bismarck and -Tirpitz-are "in-full-commission must," it is stated, be treated with caution.
