Document No. 28 was slated to be a French Government memorandum for transmission to Neville Chamberlain, then Prime Minister, objecting strongly to the proposed withdrawal of Allied forces above and below Trondheim, an action which, eventually, was carried out. At one point the purported message read: "One must act quickly or one will lost the war!" The Germans say they found the documents in a special railway car captured on the Loire on June 16.

WASHINGTON BRINGS VARIED CARGO OF REFUGEES FROM BRITISH WAR ZONE SUCCESSES AT SEA CLAIMED BY REICH Ships Captured and Blockade Torn, Says High Command BERLIN, July 13 (A. -Germany claimed today to have successfully challenged Great Britain's greatest historic weapon the navy in "successful operations overseas" by the German fleet. The High Command formally asserted that these operations presumably directed from Norwegian waters had resulted in the, capture of valuable prize ships, and military commentators declared this proved the British, blockade to have become "ineffectual in a high degree." But while that blockade is being torn apart, they added, the German counter-blockade is becoming "more perceptible day by day." 'OPERATE ON HIGH SEAS' "Unit of the German Navy now can operate on the high seas without the English fleet being able to prevent the Germans from conducting the trade war in Atlantic and other waters," they said. In the same connection, responsible quarters ridiculed the announcement of the British Admiralty that it had cut off Germany from the Atlantic by a mine belt from the Shetland Islands, near the Norwegian coast, to Greenland. "Besides," these quarters added, "the British apparently have overlooked the fact that we are in possession of an extensive stretch of the Atlantic coast since the collapse of France." The High Command reported the sinking of 24,767 tons of "enemy cargo space" by one submarine, and it was added semi-officialiy that tons of British shipping were damaged yesterday by the air force alone.

German planes also were said to have sunk a patrol boat and a 2000-ton merchantman, and to have greatly damaged five other merchant ships. Nazis already had claimed the sinking since the start of the war of a total of 4,329,213 tons of "enemy merchant shipping or shipping space usable to the enemy," a figure more than half of Britain's aggregate losses in the entire World War. (An authoritative British source declared the Empire's losses were less than one-fourth of the tonnage cited.) Germany Honors Udet For Work in Air Force BERLIN, July 13 (A. (via radio) Lieut. Gen.

Ernst Udet, chief of the German air force's technical department and most famous of Germany's surviving World War fliers, has received the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross, the German wireless reported tonight. He was credited with a large part in building up the German air force and, the official citation said, "in addition he has also given an example of fighting courage for the men of our air force."

HOOD IS REPORTED SEVERELY DAMAGED Continued From First Page warships from that fortified island, only about 55 miles from Italy. The big men-of-war have been sent to Alexandria, said Gayda, and Malta now is only a temporary shelter for lighter craft. Malta's air fields were reported heavily damaged.

(Coastal batteries and anti-aircraft guns drove Italian planes away from Alexandria Saturday. The airraid alarm lasted only a few minutes.) Gayda went on to say that Italy's share in the Axis war plan was fourfold: The first objective is Malta; the second, such British bases in Eaypt as Alexandria; the third, to paralyze British sea power in the Mediterranean by scattering warships and convoys, and the fourth, to protect Italian shipping and communications between the mainland and East Africa, i POINTS TO CONSEQUENCES If Britain lost Egypt, Gayfla said, it would lose the use of the Suez Canal, its ships no longer would have a refuge from Italian attack and London would have to abandon political control over the oil fields in the Persian Gulf and the whole Arab world, and lose all influence in Greece and Turkey. Fascist planes smashed at Malta's air bases and its naval anchorages today, following mass bombing of the British naval units at sea. The High Command said a "mass" of Italian planes, flying from many bases in Italy and Africa, descended at dawn yesterday upon the three divisions of the British naval force. The British warships, it was explained, separated and steamed eastward at different speeds on Thursday night, after having been bombed all day.

CLAIMS TOLL OF BRITISH "At least two cruisers and one battleship were certainly and repeatedly struck with large-calibre bombs," a communique claimed. The Italians admitted the loss of "one of our destroyers" by British naval bombardment. The crew was declared safe. Two defending British planes were reported shot down in the attacks on Malta, and hangars and planes on the ground were bombed and machine-gunned by the raiders.

Alexander declared that in the last eight days the British had shot down possibly as many as 130 invading planes. He added. "To America, I say in the words of your Paul Jones: 'Surrender?
