FOX'S DEPARTMENT STORES Louisburg - Oxford WAR IX EUROPE (Continued from Page Oue) bardments were directed against Aabu and V'iipuri, each of which was attacked three times, the Helsinki airport and Sveaborg fortress. Hanko and Lumarinkula suburg of Helsinki. Six Russian planes were shot down in three raids today on Viipurl, two by Finnish pursuit planes and four by anti-aircraft fire, another was shot down at Aabo aitA-still aimttah- off Hanko. A Russian plane was said to ha"e been shot down at sea oustide Helsinki but that roport was not confirmed officially. Washington. Dec. 19. ? The luxury liner Columbus, once tlie pride of Germany's merchant ma rine. was a smoldering, sinking wreck at sea tonight ? apparently scuttled by her own crew at the approach of a Brilisli warship. Two of the crew were lost. An American naval cruiser on neutrality patrol rescued the sur vivors at nightfall, reported their number at 579 and snid all aboard had been saved. A few hours later the seamen were mustered on the cruiser's de(jk; ? WSwever, and it was found that two firemen were missing. , The 32.381-ton liner, third i largest in the Nazi merchant marine, had slipped out of Vera Cruz, Mexico last Thursday In a desperate attempt to elude the British fleet and possibly reach Europe ? but her gamble failed. Cruiser Flushes Wdrd i First word of her grim end came from the U. S. Cruiser Tus caloosa. which flashed that tohe I was being scuttled about 400 miles east of Cape Henry, Va. A British destroyer was In the vicin ity, the Tuscaloosa reported, but there were no signs that any hos tilities had occurred. While dusk gathered over the ocean, the Tuscaloosa hastened to pick up the German seamen who, it was indicated by word received here, had pulled away from th-ilr craft in small boats. Terse, mat ter-of-fact messages told how the Tuscaloosa, commanded by Capt. H. A. Badt, saved the Germans, Including nine women wlio were presumed to be stewardesses. The Tuscaloosa then headed for New York to land the German crew at Ellis Island. Behind her the sky was lit with flames, for the Columbus was afire from stem to stern and was settling slowly to her doom. Boat* Set Adrift Behind her also 22 empty life boats were adrilt near the scene. (The Navy hydrographic office, on hearing this, broadcast a warning that the boats, as well as the Co lumbus, were menaces t? naviga tion. The big liner, however, was not expected to remain a menace long, for officials here understood that her sea valves had been open ed to make her founder as fast as possible. The Columbus had been at Vera Cruz from the beginning of the war until last week. She had put Into, that port hastily when the outbreak of hostilities caught her on a Caribbean cruise. When she left there she had food and fuel enough for 50 days. Consternation was evident at the New York offices of the North German Lloyd Lines, owners of the vessel, when news of the sink ing was received there. "Oh, my Ood," Bald Manager John Bchroeder, "It's one blow af ter the other." A few hours earlier, however, another German ship ? a freighter tentatively Identified as the Arau ca out of Tamplco ? had better luck. It fled Into Port Everglades, 'la., harbor a jump ahead of a British cruiser. Is it safer to have woman sit ting on tha back seat driving, ? hail on the front seat bugging tho driver?
