Cram, of Harvard university at Cambridge, Mass., lectured to his class that America should enter the war or become a second sec-ond rate power, the student above marched in protest against U. S. intervention. The youth called himself and a companion (not pictured) members of the Harvard committee for the Rec- ognition of Classroom Generals. AND IN FRANCE: More Trouble French Premier Reynaud indulged in caustic criticism of his own army, an unusual thing in wartime, and one important French general an army head was captured (allegedly) (alleged-ly) in a tank, as he took a firsthand first-hand look at the front lines. This general had been captured, too, in the I German war. His staff, it was believed, had been taken along with him. But Reynaud, no soldier himself, him-self, made fight talks and stressed his solidarity with the English. Meanwhile, it turned out that the allied plane production had sunk to 1,000 per month, to the German 3,000 a shrinkage of 25 per cent at a bad time. German airplanes claimed to have bombed and sunk six more British transports in the channel, though three hospital ships, filled with British wounded, succeeded succeed-ed in getting through the merciless Nazi barrage. PROVE ANYTHING: By Statistics Paris: Germans lost 1,000 planes in two weeks! London: Germans lost 1,500 planes in two weeks! Berlin: Allies lost 2,100 planes in two weeks! At Rotterdam, in hapless Holland, the allies said 100,000 civilians perished, per-ished, but the Germans said 300. The allies said only 10,000 of Berlin's Ber-lin's 500,000 automobiles were still running. Paris said the Germans had lost 500,000 men in their Dutch-Belgic-French offensive, but Berlin said the German loss, then, was about 12,000. London said eight British Hurricane Hurri-cane planes completely routed 35 German Junkers planes. Of the 35 Germans, 37 were reported as shot down, or "riddled"! And again, six Hurricanes "took on" 20 Messer-schmitts. Messer-schmitts. In return, the "modest" Germans merely claimed they hadn't seen an enemy plane in a vyeek! |
