overnor of Berm: i&mbly Saturday TUESDAY SOVIET CALLS DEAD TROTSKY MURDERED SPY It was the first mention of the attack since a brief dispatch reported that an attempt had been made on the life of the exiled Communist leader by one of his followers. The Communist party organ, Pravda, charged Trotsky with sabotagâ€" ing the Red army during the civil war, plotting to kill Nicolai Lenin and Joseph Stalin in 1918, and with having served in the secret service of Britain, France, Germany and Japan. "Trotsky ‘{-aving gone to the limits of human debasement, became entangled in"his own net and was killed by one of his own disciples," said Pravda.

Then in the fighting that marked the Nazi invasion of Norway, the Spearfish had her revenge.

Whether the German ship was sunk was not stated, but heavy damage was believed certain.

German depth charges blew away her periscopes, wrecked her wireless and disabled her engines.

From his armored horse he looked down figuratively as well as literally on the infantry of archers, crossâ€" bowmen, pikemen, and miscellaneously armed villeinsg. (l)“’:;igniflcan't of the change that the present c ration of armer is for the benefit of infnntrymenf; The armored knight was in effect the medieval tank. He was not completely immune. The arbalist or crossbow hurled its bolt with such vigor that it penetrated armor. But the arbalist had to be wound up, which took time, and was more effective in siege than battle. The later English longâ€"bow, fast and powerful, really foreshadowed musketry in embarrassing a charge of knights. England knew the value of the longâ€"bow. It won Crecy, Poitiers, and Agincourt. There was at one time a law in England that every man, whatever his station, clergy and judges excepted, should own a longâ€"bow (which meant something longer than himself), keep it ready. for use, and provide that his sons should begin practicing Archery at the age of 7. England was long a nation of archers, to which condition Macaulay attributes a carefulness of the Tudors not to carry absolutism beyond the limit of public acquiescence. Report that the British War Inventions Committee is "seriously considering‘" the posâ€" sible use of armor of some sort for the protecâ€" tion of individual soldiers looks back to unâ€" successful efforts that way, except as to the modern helmet twenty odd years ago.

And that was that. Other questions were parried or answered in the same direct fashion. There was no pleadâ€" ing that the question was "off the record". The board‘s business is to decide "whether or not strategic points in the Western Hemisphere are to be taken as bases for offensive operations by x potential enemy, or whether these points will be used for our own outposts of defense of the Western Hemisphere."
