Mr. Churchill indicate just what he meant, but I assume he had in mind Egypt, which provides England with her chief source of strength for domination of the Mediterranean. The expression is used by British officialdom to designate Turkey in 1911-12 during which the Turks lost Tripolitania (now incorporated in Italian Libia) and the took over the Dodecanese island up against the Turkish coast.

Mussolini has fortified the largest of these islands and turned them into powerful military and naval bases. You see, therefore, why the Turks have no love for Italy and why there is a bond not only between Turkey and Britain but between Turkey and Greece. important to note here that Turkish support for Greece might easily take the form of support fur Britain against Italy in the Near East.

And safe to say he about the latter. Should Greece be forced to face invasion alone there probably much she could do against the weight of Mussolini's mechanized forces in Albania. However, Britain has guaranteed Greek territorial integrity and although England is up to Iter neck in the Hitlerian blitzkrieg she might be expected to bring very considerable naval support to the aid of her ward.

SPECIAL CAMERA TO SUN Device Without Lens Will Be Used By Party During Total Eclipse PROVIDENCE. R. Aug A camera without any lens to take pictures of something which some experts claim can hardly be seen is being rigged up at Brown University by a group of astronomers preparing for an expedition to Braz.il to view a total eclipse of the sun October 1.

Professor Charles M. Smiley, Browr: astronomer and head of the expedition, believes the new camera, which he fondly dubs will enable him to prove his theory that zodiacal light around the sun can be photographed during a total eclipse. Some astronomers have expressed belief the halo-like band of zodiacal light in the vicinity of the sun could not be recorded, because it is almost impassible to see even under eclipse conditions. The absence of the lens from the camera, Smiley explained, would eliminate undesirable internal reflections and absorptions of light in catching the zodiacal light, which has long been a mystery to scientists. Its changing glow, somewhat resembling the Milky Way, is especially bright in the tropics at dawn and sunset and is now believed to be reflected sunlight from millions of tiny particles circling the sun.

Work on the big picture-taking machine has been in progress for a year. It has a focal length of 36 inches and an effective focal ratio of 3,5. A concave aluminum-coated mirror 12 inches in diameter will catch the sun's rays and reflect them upward through the camera 45 inches to a smaller mirror, which in turn shoots them back 18 inches to the film. The photographs taken will be circular, about two inches across, and will cover an area about 36 times the diameter of the sun. Professor Smiley expects to make about eight or 10 explcsures during the five minutes of totality.

Special clockwork machinery will keep the camera, which uses ordinary film, focused throughout. The expedition, made up of Professor Smiley and his wife, Arthur A Hoag, Barrington, R. a Brown student, and Dr. Alice H. Farnsworth, chairman of the astronomy department at Mount Holyoke College, leaves New York Saturday.
