BOMBS WEAKEN GERMAN POWER
In appraising a terrific aerial bombardment of German cities and
industrial plants it is not necessary to expect a collapse of Cerman
morale, It is sufficient to contemplate the physical destruction that mul-
tiplies the difficulties of our enemy.
After more than three years of war, Germany is short of manpower
and of material necessary to repair structures and facilities destroyed
This is what makes the aerial offensive effective, It comes at a time
when German power of recovery is limited and, for that reason, is more
devastating than if it had occurred earlier in the war.
The great struggle now going on is an industrial test as well as a
military battle, The German armies can fight only so long as German
industry can supply the tools of warfare, Every bomb that blasts a Ger-
man manufacturing center weakens the fighting power of the German
army.
There is every Indication that the aerial offensive against Germany
is just getting underway. In the next three or four months it will be
doubled or tripled. Widespread ruin will cover German ports, cities, in-
dustrial plants and transportation facilities
The effect will not be apparent og the fighting lines immediately
because of reserve supplies, but, in by Dom run, the destruction of Axis
industries means the destruction of Axis armies,

Riding It Out
The little sad-faced man was seated on the wooden horse on the
merry-go-round. He made no attempt at the brass ring but when ihe
merry-go-round stopped he didn’t get off but waited patiently for it to
start again.
This continued for several rides, and he looked more and more bored
all the time. Finally, someone asked him if he was enjoying himself, to
which he replied: “Not a bit, but the man who owns this thing owes me
five dollars and this is the only way I can get it out of him"
