Note the report in column 6: "Free Tobacco For Troops In Northern Islands" |
(The British government sending free tobacco and cigarettes to service personnel. This would never happen today. Governments, especially in the U.S.A., do everything in their power to keep anyone from smoking cigarettes. However, in Washington State the local drug dealer, which happens to be the government, is offering free joints as an incentive to get the China virus vaccine. They call it Joints for Jabs.) |

Note the report in column 5: "Bessarabia Ceded By Rumania" |
Also note the report in column 6: "Fancy-Dress Battle With Submarine - U-Boat Sunk By Its Sinking Victim" |
(The report gives the reader a thrilling account of a gun battle between an Armed Merchant Cruiser and a German submarine, but the details are little more than a fairy tale. While it is true that HMS Andania was sunk by the German submarine U-A. It is also true that the ship fired it's guns at the U-boat, but it's doubtful that the submarine was ever seen by the gunners as this attack took place in complete darkness. Not one shell hit U-A so the boat was not damaged let alone sunk.) |
