T0 BLACK SEA BASES

PARIS, Feb. 15 (U. P.) —French military experts centered increasing attention today on war-like preparations in the.Near East and especially on reports that Soviet Russia was strengthening naval and air bases in the Black Sea area. Coincidentally with the arrival of Australian and New Zealand troops to strengthen the Allied military “pool” in the Near East, dispatches through neutral sources to Paris reported that the Soviet naval bases at Novorossisk, Mariopol, Odessa and Batum were being reinforced and strengthened at top speed. As previously rumored and denied in Berlin, this work was said to be aided by German engineers.

SHIP WARNING

Hull Confers ‘With British Envoy; Contraband Control Base in Canada Hinted.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15 (U. P.). —German claims to a “theoretical right” to torpedo American vessels forced into: Allied blockade control stations turned official attention today toward recent protests to Britain against this country’s ves-

| sels being taken into war areas.

The German statement brought no official comment from the State Department but there was a hurried conference between Secretary of State Cordell Hull and the British Ambassador, the Marquess of Lothian. Chairman Key Pittman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee termed the claim “violent and. illegal.” Mr. Hull and Lord Lothian discussed the entire contraband problem for more than an hour late yesterday but, according to the Ambassador, did not reach final decisions. Britain will, however, take up with Canada the feasibility of establishing a contraband control port for American ships at St. Johns, New Brunswick—a point far out of the war zone. In Ottawa it was understood that Canadian Defense Department officials were prepared to establish such a contraband control base, if the Beliish Admiralty approves the order.

Pittman Disturbed

Mr. Pittman, in a prepared statement, charged that it would be “unjustifiable and inhuman” to sink American vessels, as the German statement implied that country had a right to do, since they are unarmed. ’ He indicated that this country would hold Great Britain equally responsible should American ships be lost en route to or from control ports, by stating that “it is within e power of Great Britain, by ceasg its practice of forcing our ships into its ports, to remove this very grave danger.”

Nazi Ruling Astonishes

Scandinavian Papers

COPENHAGEN, Denmark, Feb. 15 (U. P.).—~Scandinavian newspapers expressed astonishment today

neutral ships which entered an Allied blockade control, even if en route from one neutral port to another, might be “legitimately” sunk. | ™ Newspapers displayed prominently dispatches from their correspondents in Berlin, asserting that the semi-official German ruling would constitute a precedent which would be calculated to cut off all Scandinavian trade, as Scandinavian shipping would be caught between the conflicting blockade rules of the Allies and Germany. The dispatches warned that there might be the most serious consequences to Scandinavian shipping if the ruling were carried out.

Nazis Claim 58,000 Tons Shipping Sunk Yesterday

~ BERLIN, Feb. 15 (U. P.).—A High Command communique asserted today that Germany had sunk 58,000 tons of shipping yesterday.

Battle-Scarred British

Cruiser Returns Home

PLYMOUTH, England, Feb. 15 (U. P.).—The battle-scarred cruiser Exeter, one of three which drove the German pocket battleship Admiral Graf Spee into Montevideo Harbor, where it was scuttled, arrived in port today to the cheers of a crowd massed at the water front. “Winston Churchill, First Lord of the Admiralty; Admiral Sir Dudley Pound, First Sea Lord and Chief of General Staff, and Sir John Simon, Chancellor of the Exchequer, were in the official welcoming party. Britons were further cheered today by the announced sinking of four U-boats in a week, and by the belief that the German threat to torpedo neutral ships bound for Allied ports would antagonize neutrals against Germany. . ~The Admiralty announced today that 14 men, two officers and 12 enlisted men, were missing and presumed killed from the British naval trawler Robert Bowen, which was sunk by German bombing planes in raids on British shipping last week. One officer was killed, one was missing and believed killed and five enlisted men were missing and believed dead from the naval trawler Fort Royal, also sunk in last week's raids. i

TWINS HELP JUDGE IN RECONCILIATION

Times Special MUNCIE, Ind. Feb. 15.—Seven-weeks-old twins, held in their young mother’s arms, were evidence (not altogether silent) to Judge Claude C. Ball that he shouldn't grant her a divorce.

She complained that her husband had not supported her, but said he had not mistreated her otherwise. She added that while she was seeking a divorce, she thought the twins should not be without a father. The judge thought so, too. He reconciled the couple and they left the courtroom, each carrying a baby.
