counts strongly suggested that
1. the Russians were-gelng to make
'i a most bitter and probably pro

no doubt that their ultimate
'chances were thin. The Russian
Black sea fleet apparently was
no longer adequately based;
;i London understood that Sevas

fire.
j; Bad as was the Russian position
iin the south, however, there was
'one theatre of unquestionable im-
rovement that about Leningrad.
The Germans themselves ack-
owledged in effect that the Red
rmies at Leningrad still were
trong in manpower and equip
ment, reporting that two Russian
divisions strongly supported by
tanks and planes had made heavy
fcounter-attacks across the Neva
vrlver before the city, although
claiming that these thrusts were
jbloodily beaten off.
As to the central front before
fioicow information of conse
quence from the Germans was
again totally lacking and even
.from the Russians was spare. The
Jgoviet did report, however, that
the Germans were shelling Tula,
300 miles below Moscow at the
uouthern anchor of the Russian
line defending the capital. Noth
ing was said to suggest material
change, in position anywhere about

US Losses 122
In Sea "War"
Latest Victim of Subs
Is Tanker ; None Die ;
Night Attack Told
(Continued from Page 1)
August, and a naval officer lost
overboard from a destroyer.
The navy reported Tuesday that
the big patrol bomber had crashed
into a mountain on an unidentified
island somewhere "in the Atlantic
area.
Only twice during the entire
World war were heavier, losses of
naval personnel recorded than
were listed in the Reuben James
sinking. The worst disaster of
World war days was the sinking
by a submarine of the USS
Ticonderoga, a cargo ship. Casual
ties included 214 dead, among
them 99 soldiers and two army of
ficers.
The other severe blow dealt
the United States navy by a
World war U-boat was the sink
ing of the Tampa, a 1118-ton
toast guard vessel. About the
size of the Reuben James, the
Tampa went down without a
single survivor, losing 131 offi
cers and men.
Against this record of losses
there were two offsetting factors,
These were (1) the possibility that
some German submarines have
been sunk in the numerous at
tacks believed to have been made
by American patrol vessels and
(2) the indicated reduction in
losses ol cargo ships since the
United States began its heavy pa
trol of the sea lanes to Britain.
Even Berlin's figures point to i
marked reduction in such losses.
The encounters between the
naval vessels and submarines
had several points in common.
All have occurred within a re
latively small area of the North
Atlantic west and southwest of
Iceland. And with one excep
tion all have taken place at
night. To experienced naval ob
servers this suggested that the
German U-boats were employ
ing In this war tactics virtually
Unknown, or at least used Infre
quently, during the World war.
These" tactics, experts said, are
based on extremely sensitive
sound detection devices for aiming
torpedoes so that the submarines
can fire from below the surface
and do not have to expose them
selves to accurate counter attacks
by destroyers.
Moreover the operations of far
flying nazi reconnaissance planes
give the submarine commanders
excellent information with which
to charter their courses even
though $ie patrols of British and
American war planes are among
the most effective means of keep

that England had threatened to
declare war on Finland and the
United States had threaten! tn
sever diplomatic relations with
that country.
Clark of Idaho denounced this
government's demand as a "trav
esty in view of its opposition to
the Russian invasion of Finland
two years ago. The United States
had asked, he said, that Finland
"quit gobbling UD the bitf Russian
bear, with Its mouth dripping with
Diooa.
In the house Ren. TTnffman w
Mich) referred to the warning to
r uuoiiu as -one oi the ways our
president spreads the freedoms."
"I guess Finland is one of those
aggressor nations he has been
talking about." Hoffman
tinued. "How long ago was it
mai r inland was invaded by
Russia and her lands taken it
wasn't long. We were expressing
our admiration for the Finns.
That was not long ago.
"Now the president of the
United States, because the Finns
fought back to regain their terri
tory, comes and says You stop
it.' This is spreading the doctrine
of fear."
During the neutrality debate
Tuesday, Senators Clark (D-Ida-ho),
Wheeler (D-Mont) and Clark
(D-Mo), criticized the Rt. Rev.
Henry Wise Hobson, Protestant
Episcopal bishop of southern
Ohio, for statements which Clark
of Idaho said the bishop had
made before a session of the fight
for freedom committee in Wash
ington.
Clark of Idaho said the clerrv-
man had announced he would
appeal "not to the intellect but
to the emotions" in order to et
people "fighting mad" at Hitler.
Senator Wheeler said he was
surprised to see a bishon of nnv
church admitting he would re
sort 10 "subterfuge" to try and
force this country to war.
Clark of Missouri said he was
shocked to hear Yhat a minister
of the gospel and follower of "the
Prince of Peace" wanted to send
"American boys to the slaughter
pens of Europe."
