British Seethe Continued From Page One Raid
An official announcement said a French torpedo boat sank a German submarine attempting to attack a convoy. Survivors of the 4,260 ton Finnish steamer Mercator said the vessel sank after hitting a mine off the Scottish coast en route to Finland with one crew member missing. German agency reports indicate 194 vessels totaling 735,768 tons have been sunk by submarines or mines since the war began. Germany urged neutrals to resist the British French blockade and extend it to German exports. Hungary moved labor detachments to its Ruthenian frontier to fortify lines facing Soviet pressure as tensions rise over borders in Poland.
