MAGNETIC MINE CONQUERED.—Two members of the crew of a collier in convoy putting a coat of paint on the newly-fixed magnetic mine girdle, a simple method of defence which consists of a non-magnetic girdle running right round the hull of the ship at upper deck level. An electric current is passed through the girdle and the vessel is immediately demagnetised. A VETERAN OF THE SPANISH CIVIL WAR.—Mr. Anthony Eden, Secretary for the Dominions, chatting with Battery Sergeant-Major Macdonald, of the New Zealand anti-tank unit which is in camp somewhere in England. Sergeant-Major Macdonald fought for the Government in most of the important battles during the Spanish War.
