Rites Will Be Tomorrow for Local Resident for 55 Years The funeral of Mrs. Catherine Collins of 117 West Corydon street, who died at her home at 8:15 a. m. yesterday, will be held tomorrow morning at 8:30 o'clock at the resi dence and at 9 o'clock at the St. Bernard church. Burial will be in the St. Bernard cemetery. Mrs. Collins a prominent resident here for the past 55 years, died af ter an illness of several months’ duration. Death was attributed to complications setting in as the re sult of a fractured hip received in a fall last February at her home. Coming here from Randolph, N. Y., in 1885, Mrs. Collins was mar ried three years later to William F. Collins by the late Rev. William Coonan of the St. Bernard church. Mr. Collins preceded her in death. Mrs. Collins was a sister of the late Mrs. Stephen S. Collins of this city. She was a member of the St. Bernard church. Surviving her are two daughters, the Misses Helen and Genevieve Collins of this city; five sons, Frank lin, Vincent and Harry Collins, all of Pittsburgh, Herbert Collins of New York and Mark Collins of Bradford; a granddaughter, Mary Rita Collins of Bradford; four sis ters, Mrs. Teresa Griffie of Detroit, Mrs. J. E. Green, Mrs. Margaret McCue, Rochester and Miss M. E. Munning of Buffalo, and two bro thers, Henry and William of Steu benville, O. The Still funeral home is in charge of arrangements for the funeral sea power upon which the outcome of the war in Europe hinges. Its progress is obscured by conflicting accounts from London and Rome, yet Churchill must have had reli able information upon which to base judgment of the significance of that action as it affects the larger ques tion of the fate of England or the British empire. It is worth note that Italian claims of victories over British naval forces attribute the results exclus ively to aircraft and submarines. There is no indication that Fascist navy units have attempted to match British sea power there since the first clashes of last week. British Troops More Concentrated In weighing England’s chances of beating off invasion, there is a fav orable circumstance not specifically included in the Churchill summary, although it is implied. Her armies hold the short inside lines whereas the powerful Nazi war machine is now dispersed over central Europe, Norway, Denmark, the low coun tries and two-thirds of conquered France. Defenders of England, once the scope of a German attack at any point becomes clear, can be rushed in overwhelming numbers to meet it.
