Nelson, head of the War Production Board, warns of forthcoming drastic restrictions which will affect civilian production and will reor« ganize the nation's economy for an all-out war ef- fort. Civilian economy will be "cut to the bone.” Lee, of Oklahoma. an estimated Senator Josh the Benate that were plying the recently told 100 Nazi submarines seven and that within a few months there might be at least 300 “on the prowl.” He declared that Hitler had made good his threat to turn out enemy submarines to cut the supply lines of the United Nations at The mainspring of a conscientious objector is that “Christian (or other) principles” permit of par ticipation in warfare, If a crazy map attacks one with a bayonet, the objector is supposed to die for nis prineiple rather than fight for his life. The theory that.a man should lle on his back and give up hig life without defense to an enemy, and decline to risk it in the setviee of his nation, to which he owes much, is too screwy for us to understand. Randolph Churchill, son of the British prime minister, now visiting this country after a recent ih- jury in Egypt, says that if the United Nations are lucky we will win the war in 1943 and, if uniucky, in 1944. Mr. Churchill points out that the British were “only one quarter ready for this war” and adds that “we have been largely enthusiastic amateurs” as. compared to “professional military men” The explanation as to Great Britain applies to the United Btates and is sufficient to account for many of the reverses that have been suflered by the United Na- CASUALTIES, NOT LAND, DECISIVE IN UKRAINE The great battle continues in Russia, with the world knowing little about its vital trend and less about the strength of the contending armies It is utterly impossible to attempt any predic- tion as to the eect of German gaing, Without knowledge of forces involved and those held In re serve by both sides It would be guesswork to at tempt to appraise the consequences of the Russian retreat Red Army Overwhelmed There seems to be no reason to doubt the Inten- sity of the German attack or the courage of the Red army. Outnumbered Soviet troops have been overs whelmed by an army more plentifully supplied with fighting equipment Important as Nazi advances may be there has been no general assault upon the entire Soviet line, Both high commands seem willing to permit the battle to concentrate in the Ukraine and toward the Caucasus, but August finds the Summer advanced and Hitler still some distance from his objectives Russians Can Continue to Fight ive to the oil wells, north of the be less damaging to Russia than the armies. This peril, we believe, has been over-emphasized.

When peace comes, the manage- ment of the world will be in the hands of the United States, Great Britain, Russia and China. Certainly, the four nations should be able to devise a method of international] taxation which would distribute the war debt of the United Nations throughout the world. Certainly, the world will benefit from the prin. ciples to be upheld, as well as from the era of peace which will follow, and should bear the costs. NEW METHOD FOR INCENDIARIES For the past few months, the householders, air raid wardens, firemen and policemen have been told that an incendiary bomb should be spraved with a fine volume of water and that if they valued their lives, they should not use a sdlid stream, This was the method first used in England and adopted In this eountry because it wag thought that a solid stream would cause the Lomb to explode, throwing molten metal all over the place, Subsequent experience, however, leads the ex- perts to advise us that a solid stream is the best treatment for an incendiary bomb. They say that the first flame of an incendiary burns about a minute al a temperature of 5000 degrees Fahrenheit. Then the magnesium easing ignites and burns from ten to fifteen minutes. Obviously, if the fire can be extinguished during the fizst minute, the longer fire 1s uvoided. This sounds reasonable but we are not experts, Those who are inclined to doubt the wisdom of the OCD can make a similar experiment for themselves, using two bombs and a garden hose to discover what happens. MAKE-BELIEVE NOTHING The Navy Department reports these Japanese losses in the Aleutian area: Six destroyers, one cruiss er and one transport sunk; one destroyer probably sunk; four cruisers, two destroyers, one aircraft cars rier, one gunboat and one transport damaged. The presumption is that the Japanese have other ships in the vicinity. It all indicates that the seizure Kiska, Attu and Agatty is not make-believe wars are. There has been no news given out as to our forces available to oust the Japanese Obviously, such matters are secrety of the war. Just the same we are perfectly willing to wager that the Navy and Army are handling the Aleutian area correctly, with An eye lo the entire problem in the Pacific, pm—— CZEHE CEARED i TO SHOOT (1s NATIVE Comermie TENNESSEE SHARPSHOOTE REST WHO 15 AS ACCURATE WITH A7 DIVE BOMBER AS KE 1S Wit He ms Awaenio | Ch y Prenuduues 7d Fimig (Ross, HoMBED A Jap couse AY 3000 ceY THROUGH & MOLE IN THE CLOUDS == 1 T JUST - Lr 7 {4 £5 mn arr aw Sucre wh” | THE Orrick CAx “A Little Nonsense Now and Then, Is Relished by the Wisest Men” Early to Rise rv Quick Work n her wa in the hoe rother He wan a broken ted In cman with “How oa oy any babtw Wrong Size oh al midnig? to his lan be: inches he Poy was not wae thirty-six * oo 9» Likeness wanted to 1 the It sone local church wing sort of suggested in the hands of the minister § nd was out to view hap into depicted an the ange.
