...morale as well as to the Navy. If she were still afloat, the British Admiralty was not tricked into telling where the Ark Royal was, but did announce she was "safe & sound at her allotted station." Admiral Sir Charles Forbes, Commander in Chief of the Home Fleet, dismissed the North Sea bombing as a slight episode and observed that it was done from "really too great a height-some 12,000 ft.-for efficacy...
...bombers put the German Deutschland out of commission. First British air raid of World War II was on battleships anchored in Wilhelmshaven, Cuxhaven and Brunsbüttel, with the sinking of one and damaging of another battleship claimed. Last week the Royal Air Force retorted to the Nazis' North Sea raids by sending bombers to Helgoland.

N. railroad empire in 1895, failed, saw his dream of consolidation in God's country go up in smoke. Last year N. P. had a whopping $4,300,000 deficit; G. N. a piddling (for her) $2,700,000 profit. Today there is no talk of consolidating the twin grain...
...leaf of flue-cured tobacco has sold this week in all North or South Carolina. Nor last week. Nor the week before. Tens of thousands of Carolina farmers could get no ready money.
