...also convoying Canadian troops, some U-boat commander lurked for big game off the west coast of Scotland. Last week he found and hit with a torpedo a battleship "of the Queen Elizabeth class." In this 30,000-31,100-ton class, besides Queen Elizabeth, are Warspite, Valiant, Barham, Malaya, all commissioned between 1913 and 1915, all improved since with antitorpedo "blisters" of heavy armor amidships.

But an even more disturbing question arises when the flood victims wonder what will happen to them when the Red Cross funds run out and winter comes down on the impoverished country. Said Mr. Barham: (above mentioned) : "I think it is the duty of the Government to do something. . . . Don't you think it rather childish, to put it mildly, to expect the Red Cross with $15,000,000 to handle the whole problem, the damage bill alone of which will exceed $500,000,000? ...
