As a result of the war, this force had been considerably reduced, but it has been increased recently while still allowing for an ample margin of strength over the Ger- man fleet. Malta and Gibraltar are the principal British bases, but Alexandria and llaifa have been dc- veloped as secondary bases during the past five years. France has always maintained her position as the principal power in the Mediterranean by cou- centrating the greater part of her naval strength there. Her navy includes two quite ntodcrn battleships, the Duukcrque and Strasbourg, of 26,500 tons, armed with t3~iitch guns, and five older battleships of 35.000 tons, ztrmcd with 15- inch guns, the Richelieu and jean Bart. Seven heavy cruisers and II of lighter type; 64 destroyers, I2 seagoing torpedo boats, and 73 submarines also form part of the French Navy. There is besides a large aircraft carrier, a type which is not represented in the Italian Fleet. The latter force, iudecd, has been built on the assumption that it would never be called upon to operate at any great distance from the shores of ltal_v_ It is apparent. therefore. that the French Navy alone should be fully equal to the task of deal- ing with the Italian fleet should such an tmfor- tunate necessity ever arise. a EDITORIAL NOTES -.

Actually, the fire which destroyed in 1914 the famous university library. built. in 1317. and much of the city of Louvain was the deliberate act, of the Germans in retaliation for alleged attacks by Belgian civilians on German sol- diers. The destruction fllaln may have been deliberate. for the library was still standinz when the British made their strategic withdrawal be- cause of the break in the French lines further west. Tire new library was scarcely the old "restored" since it was built on a site a mile distant from t}: old. The 01c‘. library contained a collection of 600.000 books. many of them valuable. The new library consisted of even more books, many of them valuable. The John Rylancls library of Manchester, Eneland. contributed more than 60,000. Most of the funds for the rebuilding came from the United States, and much of it from Ameri- can children. A carillon was the gift of American engineers.

Warren maln- tained that. the Cardinal proposed an inscription for the balustradeof the new building: "Fatrore Teut- onica Dinita: Dono Americana Res- tltuta!" that is to say: "Destroyed by German Fury: Restored by American Generosity." The Car- dinal. said Warren. never gave later instructions or suggestions. Cardinal Mercier died in 1926 and authority passed to Monsignor La- cicttzfl.

The reconciliation, ltowevcr. appears to have been or.'_v one-sided or, as the lawyers say. “unilatcral." Monslznor Ladeuze died February l0. 1940. just three months before Belgium felt again the wcltzitt of German fury. Warren appealed to the highest Belgian court in vain. and four years after the adverse decision a war memorial to 23,700 Belgian cl- vilians. killed in the war, was un- veiled in Dittaxtt with the inscrip- tion in letters three feet high.
