It was admitted that Germany's un lestricted U-boat warfare had reached serious proportions, but the record of the convoy system in bring ing; 8.969 ships safely to port and los ing only 19 provided a strong meas ure of consolation. The losses for the week ended February 18 were the largest of the war. However, it was said that at - least four, and possibly six U-boats were sunk in that time, as evidence that the British navy was not idle. The government is rushing plans, already announced in commons, to arm all British trawlers and mer chantmen against attacks such as oc . curred along the east coast yesterday, when German planes raided shipping from the Firth of Forth to the coast of " South Essex, apparently in reialia I tion for the Altmark incident. Many " trawlers and fishing boats were bombed and machine - punned, al- - though few casualties were reported. Eleven survivors of a Norwegian " ship, said to be the Steinstad torpe . doed off the west coast of Fire last .

Philadelphia recently withdrew its bid for the 1940 national rowing championships, and the mud flats of the Schuylkill, coupled with threats of flood waters this sprint;, were said to have led to the consideration of the move to New Jersey. Callow admitted that he had con sidered at various times having workouts on the Delaware; but rougher waters there are not con ducive to good practice.

SOVIET READY TO BREAK LINE . i News Dispatch Tells of 1 Decision j Russians Claim Strength Of Mannerheim Great As Maginot Moscow, Feb. 21 HP1 --The soviet press ttvdny displayed tin official new agency dispati-h declaring that the red army had "now decided to break the Mannerheim line" in a drive that "presages the end of the frinmsh war." The dispatch, carried by the Tusk agency, wui dated Kovno and quoted objective military expert as juiyttK that the Mannerheim line wa us strong a the German Siegfried line or the French Maginot line and that its destruction was "a most dillirutt task from the militaty standpoint." The most important battle of the wr was believed imminent in the Vupuri sector of Finland. Information available here indicat ed that the red annv exuected a ouick showdown at Viipuri, which tor centuries has been a military putcwuy to the east, as a result of the Russion mopoing un oerat ions against the Gulf of Finland end of the main Finnish defenses (the Manner heim line). The Russians claimed occupation of Koivisto fortress, on me Gulf oi Finland coast, which had been the main anchor point at that end of the Finnish line. (At Helsinki, a Finnish war com munique said that attacks on the cen tral and Lake Ladoga sectors of the new Finnish defense posit inns had been repulsed in heavy fighting yes terday, when 17 to 23 Russian planes were shot down. Taioale. on Lake Ladoga, is the eastern "anchor" of the Mannerheim line and the scene of se vere fighting.) Two red armv columns have been advancing on Vupuri second largest Finnish city in operations that steadily narrowed the Russian salient. They are now reported within four and six miles of the Finnish city. Correspondents with the red army reported operations which hinted that they were confident of success on or before the red army anniver sary on February 23. This apoeared due to. reported success in clearing Finnish troops from the KoivUto area. Further Russian confidence were reflected in a dispatch carried by the official news asencv Tass from ! Kovno, and prominently displayed in all newspapers. The dispatch said the soviet army had now made itself familiar with the terrain in which it was fighting and with conditions in Finland and had ''now decided to break the Man nerheim line a most difficult task from the military standpoint." The dispatch added: j The Finnish fortifications, accord -j ing to military experts, are not ! weaker than the Siegfried and Mag 1 inot lines (in Germany and France). ; Denting of the Mannerheim line gives evidence of unprecedented force and : incomDarable organization and pres- ages the end of the Finnish war." 900-YEAR-OLD OAK FALLS I Cardiff.
