WAR IN EUROPE
London, Nov. 8. ? - Winston i
Churchill thundered "we shall
break their heartB" in a confid
ent recital tonight of Britain's
gains at sea against a background
of new peace overtures received
without optimism.
The First Lord of the Admiralty
reported loss by accidental explo
sion of the British submarine
Oxley but said the Navy had whip
ped the German submarine and
pocket battleship Menace.
Publication of the loss during
the first week of the war of the
Oxley, which normally carried 54
officers and men, was forbidden
at that time. Churchill said "every
loss inflicted by the ememy has at
once been announced" but ex
plained that the Oxley explosion
was "in circumstances which
made its publication inadvisable
at the time."
He did not disclose where or
exactly when the Oxley was sunk
or if any loss of life was suffered.
He told Commons, in his week
ly report on "sea warfare, that
German submarines have been
sunk at the rate of between two
and four a week, "a fairly sound,
conservative estimate."
Two Per Week
However, he added, Germany .
was capable of tiyning out two 1
new ones a week-find he expected
Britain "must face 100 U-boats in
January, less whatever sinkings
have occurred."
He announced also that the
number of lives lost by Britain's
Navy alone was greater so far
than all French and British serv- j
ices combined.
Berlin, Nov. 8. ? Germany to
night took the position that the
efforts of King Leopold and
Queen Wilhelmlna to halt ihe
European war had been killed by
British action "almost before the
ink was dry" on their offer of
mediation.
While Adolf Hitler and his
trusted leaders were in Munich
celebrating the anniversary of the
abortive 1923 "beer cellar" Putsch
officials and the press were buSy
throwing on Britain the onus of
rejecting the offer.
Officials said British opinion
"solidly supports" last night's
speech of Foreign Secretary Lord
Halifax and today's speech by La
bor Leader Clement R. Attlee. j
(Advance copies of Halifax's
speech in which he said the AUi<-s
were fighting for "a new world In
which the nations will not permit
insane armed rivalry to deny their
hopes of a fuller life," were dis
tributed to the press in London
hours before the monarchs' peace
offer was announced In the Hague.
(Atlee listed six "principles for |
peace. ) "
German officials said both :
speeches meant the "cyuical re- |
jection of the sovereigns' offer .
and thus prolongation of the
war."
KI'SOM P. T. A.
The Epsom P. T. A. held its ?
regular monthly meeting Thurs- i
day night, Oct. '46. The topic
for the program was "The Corre
lation of the Home and the '
School." The program was >p- I
ened with the song "Home Sw,;et
Home", after which Mrs. S. F.
Journegan gave an inspirational
talk on "How the School can Help
the Home." Doris Weldon read
"Home" by Edgar A. Guest which
was followed by several musical
selections by Mrs. J. Q. Phillips.
Miss Myra Wagg gave a very help
ful talk on "How the Home can
Help the School." The program
was closed with a humorous read
ing by Dorothy Edwards, "Friday
Afternoon in a County School."
A short business session was
held followed by a delightful so
cial hour of games and refresh
ments.
The next meeting will be held
Thursday night, Nov. 16, at 7:30
in the school auditorium. All
parents are urged to attend.
Have you heard about the little
Louisburg girl who was asked her
age by the street car conductor?
She replied by saying: "I'd rather
pay full fare, and keep my age to
myself."
Wife ? I almost cry when I
think I might have married Mr.
Richleigh.
Hubby ? And I almost cry, too,
when I think about it.
