NEW YORK, May 15.—The threat of imminent “total war” on England, voiced by German newspapers, was lent credence today by continuing, but unofficial and unsubstantiated, Treports that the Germans have been prepared for a year to attempt seiz- ure of the British Isles. Stories of gigantic prepafations made by the German high com- mand—tales which a few months ago, before the invasion of the Low Countries would have been discarded as fantastic—include the construc- tion of 10,000 planes for the express use of an expeditionary force. To fix a time, a place and a method that the Germans would attempt to break the geographical isolation of the British Isles would be to ap- propriate the privilege of reading the minds of the German high com- mand—which means the ‘mind of Adolf Hitler. But the stories, related by persons not given to exaggeration, persist. They fit perfectly into the pattern of the German offensive as it has un- folded thus far. Repeatedly the German fuehrer has said that Eng- land is the enemy of his people. It is England which must feel the full force of German arms. Could Land 100,000 in Day. The German strategy would seem to be the subduing of Holland, the acquisition of air bases close to England, the immobilization of Brit- ish and French forces on the Con- tinent and then a swift, decisive stroke from the air to “reduce” and capture the seat of the British Empire. That may sound like a long gamble, but so did the invasion of Norway and the march into the Low Countries. ‘Ten thousand German airplanes, each carrying fighting armament, a small quota of bombs and four parachutists, could land 40,000 men in England in a space of two hours. By now the German method of seizing airdromes and using them to increase the expeditionary force in any given area is kell known. Even with considerable losses due to attacks by home defense fighters all and anti-aircraft fire those orig- inal 10,000 planes by frequent round trips should be able to land 100,000 men in the course of a day. Nazis Willing to Lose Planes. The Germans have introduced a new note into aerial warfare. Aif- planes are considered, like infantry, expandable. In an invasion of Eng- land, Germany would count on losses and on a sheer preponderance of numbers to achieve results. Germany has the planes. Un- counted thousands of them are being hurled into the battle which began last Friday. Other uncounted thousands are used for reconnais- sance and troop transport. It is known that of one type alone— withdrawn from competition on South American air routes because they were too slow—Germany is +| using hundreds to move infantry- men, 40 to a machine. The pattern of such an attack on England likely would”be an inten- sive bombing of highways, railroads, factories, airdromes and electric and water supply systems to soften re- sistance to the actual troop invasion. New Explosive Is Speculative. Then the troop carriers, accom- panied by protective fighter planes, _would swoop down. How many men could be landed safely, how good a fight they could put up with the weapons of relatively low fire power they could take with them, and how spirited a defense the British could offer remain unanswered questions. Among the many conjectures which have arisen incident to the German threat of “total war” on England is the use of new and terrible explosives by German bomb- ers. One bomb of a particularly devastating character was used on Barcelona during the Spanish Civil War. It has not made its appearance since. The question occurs, what is 1t being saved for?

Jewish organiza- tions in Washington are co-operat- ing in the annual relief drive, which is part of a national campaign. A | goal of 7,500 individual contributions has been set as the Capital's quota, and drive leaders expressed confi- dence today that the objective ‘would be gained with little difficulty. The drive officially opened last night with & mass meeting of the drive teams at the Jewish Commun- ity Center. Speakers stressed the serious situation of the destitute Jewish populations of Europe and the effect of the spreading war upon the refugees. “Our brethren in Austris, Poland and Czecho-Slovakia are beseeching us for help; we cannot fail them,” Isidore Hershfield, honorary chair- man, told the workers. “American Jewry is the only Jewish community in the world that can render ef- fective aid at this time,” he added. Morris Simon, co-chairman, com- plimented the drive teams. Rabbi Isadore Breslau, co-chairman, and Morris Cafritz in talks stressed the seriousness of the situation. Louis E. Spiegler, drive director, said immediate relief is essential “because a year from now it may be too late.” He urged the workers to become thoroughly acquainted with the several causes bound up in the united drive so that they could solicit contributions intelligently. ‘The youth division, made up of |2 250 young men and women members of various junior organizations, will hold its first report meeting tomor: row night at the center. Alfred/M. Reines and Alice West head this division. The adult teams will gather at the center Friday noon for their first report luncheon.

PORTSMOUTH, N.

Nothing in the ceremony served as a reminder of th peril that hov- ered about the craft from the time she sank in 40 fathoms in a faulty trial dive last May 23, until it was raised and brought into a drydock four months later.

Virtually all of the Squalus sur- vivors asked to serve on the Salil- fish, but only four were chosen to serve on the shining craft, recondi- tioned at &.cost of $1,400,000.
