stroyed, largely to the "very gal
lant action ' of the Jervis Bay.
It Is said that despite "greatly
i (erior armament" the Jervis Bay
"continued to engage the enemy
after she had been severely hit
and was burning furiously," and
exploded after a two-hour fight
Twenty-four ships in the convoy
were reported to have reached
ports, five others were reported
safe and, the admiralty added, "It
is possible that some of the ships
still missing may be safe."
Among the vessels reported al
ready in port were the liner Rang.
ltiki and the freighter Cornish
City, whose distress calls were
heard in the United States the
night of the attack as the convoy
was steaming from Canada to
England.
"It was a sunny evening when
we picked up the (German) ship
on the port side at 4:50 o clock,
said one of the Jervis Bay officer
survivors.
"She was a long way off. I don't
know which of us saw the other
first. She opened (ire first, though.

and we closed, too, leaving the
convoy. We got between the en

ped smoke floats to screen the
merchant ships from the raider.'
Captain Olander of the rescue
freighter said the fight that fol
lowed was "glorious," and added
in halting English: "I'll never
forget it."
He fled, with the rest of the
merchantmen, but turned back
after dark to search the calmed
seas for survivors of the escort
ship.
Captain Qlander said he thought
he saw five merchant ships in the
convoy struck by shells fired by
the raider.
He thought the raider's second
salvo of shells, aimed at the Jer
vis Bay, overshot and damaged
the Rangitiki.
The survivors brought back talcs
of heroism which ranged from
their captain's persistence at his
post though severely wounded to
an account of a seaman who, when
the Jen-is Bay's flag was shot
away, climbed the rigging amid
shellbursts and fasteded a new
ensign which still waved through
smoke clouds as the ship took her
last plunge.
"I think everybody aboard was
proud as our ship turned to meet
the enemy," the officer related,
"Our captain knew just what
we were going to get, but it didn't
matter."
nouncement of Camacho's recognl
tion was the first government ex
pression here on the controversy.
In Mexico, the action of the Unit
ed States was received as welcome
news, with special gratification
manifested at the appointment of
Wallace.
Mexico, however, apparently
was only one of the Latin Amen

partment consultations yesterday.
Secretary Hull, Secretary of War
Stimson and Secretary of Navy
Knox conferred for almost an hour
and it was believed in well-in

defense provided the major topic.
The progress of defense nego

publics was reviewed, these
sources believed, and consideration
given to the necessary subsequent
steps for advancing the program
with all possible speed.

WPA Official Here
On Airport Business
B. S. Sewell, 6tate office engi
neer for the work projects admin
istration, arrived in Eugene from
Portland Wednesday noon to pre
pare estimates of WPA labor costs
in the groundwork for Eugene's
new super airport. The main
work probably will be done by
open competitive contract under
supervision of the U. S. army en
gineers with full time labor at full
time wages but some portions may
be left for WPA on the margins.
Working with John Quiner, city
engineer draftsman, Mr. Sewell
will make cost estimates Wednes
day afternoon as requested "by the
city aeronautics board, in the event
that WPA national defense funds
will be appropriated for the Eu
gene airport.
The WPA estimate must be sub
mitted to the civil aeronautics
board In Washington, D. C, by
Nov. 19.
The city made application for a
WPA grant for airport construc
tion two months ago. If granted,
WPA funds will go only toward
grading and runway laying, J. J.
O'Farrell, Eugene district man
ager, stated.
By the terms of a WPA national
defense appropriation passed by
congress last June, any projects
so designated take precedence over
other WPA projects in the district.

Greeks Place Foes In
Concentration Camps
ATHENS, Nov. 13. (IP) The
Greek high command reported to
day a stream of Italian wounded
and prisoners was pouring back to
concentration camps behind Greek
forces advancing through "pil
laged" villages abandoned by re
treating fiisci.it troops.
Generally, though, there was
quiet along the entire front-a lull,
described by neutral military ob
servers as the end of the first phase
of the war.
It was believed here that Gen.
Ubaldo Soddu, undor-secretary of
war and newly-appointed com
mander in chief of the Italian
forces in Albania, was reoreaniz-
Ing his troops and devising a new
plan of campaign. Supporting this
view was ine Inct that there has
been no Italian attack of anv con
sequence in the past few days.
