Great Britain's Navy, despite the loss of 561 warships in nearly five years of sea war- fare, is actually more powerful now than at the beginning of the war. Among the war losses listed up to August I3 were: Three battleships, two battle-cruisers, five aircraft carriers, two small carriers, 28 cruisers. I4 armed nterchitut- tnen, 124 destroyers, 64 submarines, seven fri- gates, 23 corvettes and 289 miscellaneous smal- ler craft. The list of miscellaneous smaller craft does not include landing craft of various types. 1K 1F =0‘ K Commenting on the effects blast precau- tions have had on English civilian life, a Lon- don correspondent writes: "There can hardly he a home in Southern Ettglatitl which has not recently rearranged its furniture with a view to safety‘ ir011t blast, rather than decorative ap- pearance. \\'e have also become quite expert at the technique of lying down. wherever we may be, in moments of danger. There is really‘ an art in doing this effcctivelv, as you must not lie flat, but supported just off the ground by clbows and knees, lest the blast tretnors thrnugit the earth do itnmcrttiotiable things to your inter- ior. Blast is a serious subject of discussion and study nowadnyxs." n1 x n1 Says T/tr Prinltrt] lbortl: “Our hospitals. oi1r universities, our clutrches owe their build- ings and endowments in the ntztin to capitalists, many of whom ivould be tcrtned reactionary by toda "s glib tirators.
