HERMANN Professor of America History In reading the news from the European battlefronts it must con stantly be kept in mind that the actions in the various theaters are merely parts of an overall plan whiCh is the destruction of the German armies, or, at least, of the Nazi military leaders' will to con tinue the war. A glance at a gen eral operations map reveals clearly what is happening. Rapidly in some quarters and less so in others the ring of steel which the Allies have-drawn around Hitler's Europe is being constricted with each passing week. How long the Nazis can resist this pressure from the ground, to say nothing of the con tinued heavy bombing from the air, is anyone's guess. On the eastern front the Red military tide rolls on and is now lapping at the border of East Prussia, the chief 'breeding ground of German militarism. German broadcasts make little or no pre tense at disguising the fear of what this will mean for Germany and its people. This amazingly swift advance of the Russian forces would seem to indicate that "lines" of defense no longer mean what they once did;., and, that British and American bombings of Ger man industry are definitely pay ing dividends. In Italy, while progress has been slower, the Allied forces are grind ing their way northward to assault the Gothic line. Meanwhile, con-, tinned aerial bombings , have wreaked havoc on railroads and bridges which have been used .by the Nazis to bring reinforcements into northern Italy. Allies Beat Off Nazis In Normandy the British, Cana dians, and Americans have been stubbornly beating off German counter - attacks and crunching their way forward in gains limited to one and two miles, while in some instances advances were measured in yards. However, the recent occupation of St. Lo by the Americans, together with a power ful thrust by the British south and southeast of Caen, seem to indicate an Allied break-through into coun try where mobile equipment can effectively be brought into play for the first time. In the Pacific area the picture IS not so satisfying: true, we have again bombed Japan; true, we have completed the conquest of Saipan; true, we are engaged in softening up Guam for an invasion of that strategic spot, and appar ently the Japanese threat to India has ceased. All this is highly grati. , fying but there is one dark spot— China. Here the war has taken a turn again for the worse. The much heralded breaking of the siege of Hengyang seems to have failed as the Japanese are again pounding away here and are in control of the vital railroad line, except for some forty or fifty miles. Politics Get Attention •In the field of international poli tics several matters attract atten tion. The first of these is the mounting evidence of decided pro- Fascist leanings on the part of the Vargas regime in Brazil, The second is the visit of Madame Chiang Kai-shek to an island off the • Brazilian coast. Here she will spend some time in an effort to improve her health which has not been good; however, there are those who believe that from Brazil she will proceed to England to discover what is the British at titude toward an all-out prosecu tion of the war against Japan when Hitler has been'defeated. The third item to which our at tention is called is a fresh crop of not too subtle Nazi peace-feelers. . Conference in Rome The fourth, and to many, the most significant development of the week, was the conference held in Rome between Palmiro Pngli atti, the Italian . Communist leader, Women In Sports 1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 Strings of lights, hillbilly music, refreshments will pave the way to the WRA square dance on the parking lot at White Hall, 9 p.m. to 12 midnight July 29.

Physical education majors ,and and Monsignor Giovanni Montini, acting papal secretary .of state. On the domestic political front the fate of Mr. Henry Wallace seems to be most in the news. On this point we may as well sit, back and await the decision as and when it is reached by the Democratic Party in its convention which opened in Chicago. However, one thing is certain,, and rtho is that never in American political history has there , been so much 'ado con cerning a 'vice-presidential nomi nation.
