Scores. At week's end, reported losses of neutral and Allied shipping from all causes totaled only 15 vessels, 65,634 tons, of which 10,086 tons was the big British refrigerator ship Doric Star which radioed from the South Atlantic that she was being attacked, was heard from no more. Probable assailant: the German raider Admiral Scheer. Germany claimed a grand total of 194 merchantmen (68 neutral, for which she was "sorry") with a tonnage of 735,768-nearly 250,000 tons a month, which would be about one-fourth the highest monthly figure reached in World...

A political neutral, onetime President of the Senate in Warsaw, the ailing President leaves nearly everything to his active Premier, suave, resourceful General Wladyslaw Sikorski who chatted busily in the train last week with members of his cabinet, many of whom a few short weeks ago were fleeing impoverished across Poland to escape as best they could...

What our ultimate duty as a nation may be if the conflict is prolonged...
French editors are especially chagrined because they cannot publish photographs taken under the eyes of French military authorities at the front. The same pictures appear in British journals which are read in France; but they cannot be transmitted to any neutral country. Telegrams and cables, no matter where they originate, are censored. A suspicious wire from Amsterdam to the Paris office of the New York Times had its first three lines deleted. They read: "Grover Whalen arrived at The Hague from Brussels and says he is satisfied with the results of his talks in Switzerland, France and Rome...
