seDCIAL TO THE "ME"
London, Sept. 25.
Infantry Supported by Tanks Day and night watch is being maintained on the giant launching ways of the B5000-ton Cunarder, Queen Elizabeth, which will be launched on Tuesday.
The watch is being rendered necessary by the fact that the entire weight of the biggest ship ever built is held in check by six triggers which, when released by the pressure of an electric button by the Queen, will allow the 1,030-foot liner to slide into the Clyde.
Not only the Queen Elizabeth will be the longest ship ever floated, but the weight when water-borne will exceed that of the Queen Mary when she was released from the stocks by nearly 15,000 tons.—Reuter.
Europe is at present on tenterhooks lest the manceuvres here pictured, showing a Czech infantry detachment advancing under the cover of tanks, be translated into horrible reality as u result of the crisis between that country and Germany. The Czech army has now been fully mobilized to meet threats to Czechoslovakian territory.
