Maria B. Campbell Special to the Free Press ENOSBURG FALLS, Feb. 26. Mrs. Maria Blondin Campbell.

died at her home on Orchard st. at 11:45 this morning. She was born Oct. 31, 1850, at St. Albans and was the last of a family of five girls and three boys.

She was married Aug. 24. 1876. Continued from Page one Keyes, in uniform as on the day he delivered his devastating attack on the Chamberlain governmnt for the navy's failure to force Trondheim harbor in the Norwegian campaign, charged that "war by committees" was stifling Churchill. Another conservative.

Patrick W. Donner, said it was "difficult to see how Alexander could be absolved from responsibility for sending the Prince of Wales and Repulse to the Far East without adequate air support." Says Crews Were Novices A veteran of Jutland and the Falklands, Rear Admiral T. P. M. Beamish, charged that crews of torpedo planes which attacked the Scharnhorst and Gneisenau in the channel battle were novices who never had made an operational flight before and had been told they were to attack a convoy, not warships.

Alexander's own speech was tempered by warnings that allied recent shipping losses are severe, that Germany's U-boat fleet is expanding month-by-month on an unprecedented scale, that raider attacks may again test the Royal navy in "the most dangerous period of the shipping crisis." For the present, however, it was announced that one of the two Nazi battleships, often classed as battle-cruisers, lies in drydock at the other in the dockyard at Wil-helmshaven, and Alexander announced: "Reliable reports have been received that both German battle-cruisers received heavy damage." Trident's Daring Thrust Of the daring thrust of the Trident, medium-sized submarine displacing 1.090 tons at the surface, it was disclosed that a warship of the Prinz class, and probably the Prinz Eugen. was torpedoed off the coast of Norway Feb. 23. An accompanying destroyer was believed hit at the same time. Following this up, British reconnaissance planes spotted a Prinz Eugen class cruiser in tow of tugs in the port of Trondheim, Norway.

It was damaged aft. Disclosing that both Britain and the United States arc suffering from shipping losses at "a considerably higher rate" than at any time in 1941, when new methods and devices had reduced losses month Jifter month. Alexander said U-boat forays off the North American coast were especially responsible for the rise. Even so, he continued, losses out of convoys were less than one-half of one per cent of the cargo ships involved. He held out hope, however, that allied shipbuilding programs eventually would overwhelm Japanese naval power and outstrip Germany's destructive capacity.
