tomorrow aboard the Maritime Com- mission's training ship American Seaman.

The Commission said today that the snip probably would remh the British. island, on which an Amer- ican naval base is being built, on July 1'1. The vessel will carry 3,000 tons of water and during a stay of about a week in Bermuda will turn out another 3.000 tons from its distillation plant which converts sen water.

If the trip of the American Sea- mun does not offset the water shortage. tlre Comniis ion said an. other vessel will be sent. The Am- erican Seaman is a 7000-101. SiIPBIIIShlp based at St. Petcrsburg. Fa

Much of Bermuda's water supply is collected from the runoff of rain water from roof tops and hill- sides. but there has been scant. rainfall in recent months. There also has been an increased demand f0!‘ b41991‘ Bristol! from the presence 0i United states workmen and haw a] forces engaged in the base con- slruction.

Just as British bombers returned from the nocturnal raiding shortly before dawn. long-range German guns on the newly-reinforced French coast opened fire.

It was described by Gen. Bli- lvfaitiand Wilson, commander of the British, Indian. Austririan and Free French forces which had thrust half a dozen columns deep in Syria and Lebanon. as a "painfui but necessary ceremony."

“The whole proceed ngs." he said, "were carried out without acrimony and with a will to produce satisfac- tory results."

There was little fraternizing among the beuteu Vichy French and the Al- lied invaders.

"Tilese territories were. until re- cently, used by our main enemy to our detriment," Gen. Wilson said in a broadcast. "Our late ally saw fit to Oppose us in preventing this. That opposition now has come to an end.
