THE battle of Crete is still (at
noon Friday) in doubt.
Hopeful "informed sources"
in London and Cairo picture the
advantage on the island as slow
ly turning to the British side.
The German parachutists are
reported to have been driven
nut of all but one foothold.
Naval landings of German
troops and equipment are re
ported to have been prevented.
But still the nazis float down
from the skies.
IF you're thinking ahead, in
stead of merely looking at
today, you'll watch with keen
est interest the battle between
the German air force and the
British navy that is raging all
around Crete.
The Germans assert that In
this struggle two British battle
ships, 10 cruisers and many de
stroyers have been sunk or
damaged.
We can't, of course, believe
these German reports unhesi
tatingly. We can only wait and
see.
But if they should happen to
be true, this will be a signifi
cant moment in the history of
war.
ADMIRAL Darlan (now appar
ently the his man of
France, said to be a British
hater) says in a statement is
sued In Vichy: .
"Hitler has not asked France
for her fleet In CURRENT ne
gotiations, and I WILL NEVER
HAND IT OVER."
Take that for what it is worth
if anything.

MAIN AND CENTRAL
XHE British have pinned their
faith to the warship, a time
tried and IN THE PAST depend-
visitor in Medford lble weapon. The Germans
I have staked their hopes on the
. . . airship.
Around the relative merits of
the airship and the warship a
mighty controversy has raged.
It has been so far a theoretical
controversy.
There are signs( badly cloud
ed by censorship) that in the
historic waters of the eastern
Mediterranean it is being put to
a practical test.
That is the real reason why
the world is watching breath

Shed Burns A lean-to shed
in the rear of a vacant house
at 816 South Central avenue was
destroyed by fire Friday night,
the blaze apparently having
been started by a cigarette toss
de aside by tramps sleeping
there. The fire department's
chemical truck answered the call
at 10 29 and a few minutes later
called for the pumper truck and
hose cart, which wasn't needed
when it arrived. The house is
owned by M. L. Meadows.
