Italy. Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy, said Adolf Hitler, are strong enough to resist any coalition against them. In a direct slap at France he added that "If war is waged against Italy for any reason whatever it will see Germany and Italy side by side. . . . Nazi Germany knows what her fate would be if the international powers succeeded in defeating Italy. . . . Those who belittle the Italian Army were refuted by the Ethiopian campaign...

Last week the Nazis ordered the bodies reburied in their original graves. Official Nazi reason: "The public objects to seeing these coffins exhibited in a place of worship."

There was no audible or visible violence, for the reason that the total quantity of energy released was not enough to knock a fly off the wall. It was a terrific explosion on a microcosmic scale. Enormous voltages impressed on sub-atomic particles will accelerate them to enormous speeds, but they are so infinitesimally small that the quantity of energy is negligible by ordinary standards.* But in the atomic world a force of 200,000,000 volts has hitherto been recorded only in cosmic ray showers, never...
