* USS S-4 (SS-109) submarine sinking

The top of the front page has a four column headline: "SUBMARINE S-4 SINKS WITH 40 ABOARD IN DEEP WATER OFF PROVIDENCE; HIT BY DESTROYER, WHICH IS BEACHED", with subheads and related photos (see images). The lengthy 1st report coverage continues on page 2.
Page 20 has: "BRITAIN AMERICANIZED, CHESTERTON CONTENDS", which is an article on G.K. Chesterton in which he provides a rather scathing analysis of the impact of American economics on British society. Interesting reading.
