Sunday night, Wal- ter Winchell, New York columnist and international keyhole listener, reported that the field marshals ready now to make a peace without Hitler. He stated further that if the German military family can patch up their inside troubles and Hitler proves himself a good general, the field marshals will prob- ably be willing to make a peace with der fuehrer, but if his strategy fails, they will most surely make peace against him Whatever the truth of the matter, we have heard often in the past two years that all was not well within Reich, but now the smoke seems thicker than ever.

He made his theatrical bow on Broadway in the old Niblo's Ga n in 1879 and was a star in his own right in 1894, after spending seasons in New ‘Ym-k and long months trouping on the road with stock companies. Theater goers will remember him as Hajj, in “Kismet,” Tony in “Mister Antonio” and |the swaggering Col. Phillippe Bridau in “The Honor |of the Family.” | Frankness was ever one of Skinner’s trade marks. He said what he felt and often was in hot water because of his remarks. But he stuck to his guns and was true to his ideals of his beloved theater. When police raids on Broadway theaters began |in 1927, Skinner declared: “There may be things wrong with the theater, |but there is nothing so radically wrong that it needs his wholesale readjustment, We are perhaps a bit more frank than we were before, but so is the world which we are attempting to interpret.” Once he told a meeting of the |Preachers’ Association of New York: | “The church always has recognized the theater as a rival drawing power and has attempted to sup- press it. This jealousy is apparent today in the ef- |fort of certain churches and religious bodies to im- | pose censorship on the theater.” | To him, the theater was a power which should not be violated by any amount of censor imposed [from outsiders. He made just one movie, “Kismet,” and it was while he was filming this that a story was told to illustrate his uncanny ability to take a character and never drop that character until his work was completely over. During the filming of a scene from the Moham- medan drama a slight earthquake occurred, somnfl the big movie sets swaying and the actors and) cameramen scurrying. It came just as Skinner was repeating the line, “May Allah strike me in the fury | of his wrath if I do not fulfill my pledge.” When | he quake had ceased and noses were counted. he said, salaaming piously Allah be praised.” Skinner was 83 when that final curtain wis rung down on his earthly act. He leaves to carry |on the Skinner tradition a daughter, Cornelia Otis | Skinner, a seasoned trouper | much boyhood was playing with who Methodist A Midget Threat (Cincinnati Enquirer) Japan’s new ‘“secret” naval weapon, a midget submarine with a two-man crew, is neither new or secret, strictly speaking. Naval designers and ama- teur inventors have toyed with the idea of such a craft for many years, but the attack on Pearl Har- bor was the first known instance of their use in war. | Whether such craft have sufficient usefulness | to warrant their construction on a large scale by this country, is a matter for the proper technicians to decide. But, in any event, they are an u\lfllcsnnv] subject for speculation, The Navy revealed that on the basis of examina- tion of one of the midgets captured at Pearl Harbor the tiny submarine has a top speed of 24 knots and 1 cruising radius of some 200 miles. It is 40 feet long, with a beam of only five feet. Each one ap- parently carries two substandard size torpedoes in addition to a 300-pound high explosive charge The main value of such craft is their ability to operate in very shallow water. Because of their | diminutive size, they may be carried on the decks °f larger vessels and launched when action is in- tended. Some may be based in the shallow waters around the numerous small islands which dot the Pacific, from which they could prey on enemy craft These usages have corresponding faults. Be- cause the midgets are lightly constructed and quite | cramped, they can cruise for only limited periods and probably only under favorable weather conditions.
