Alone With Nature

Nanjemoy (Md.) High School.
OF from the people,
Way up on the hill,
I listened to nature,
My heart stood still.
Oh, such beauty, as
None I've seen.
So stirringly fresh,
So utterly clean.
Oh, give me the fields,
The hills and the sky.
There may I sit and watch
The world 80 by.

Present plans call for that many
one-year cofiscripts to be inducted

Registration returns from states
swelled the probable number OF
registrants for the draft we'll over
100000 - nearly 100000 more
than pre-registration estimates.
DR.. Clarence A. Dykstra, direc-
tor of the draft, inaugurated his re-
gime a few hours after being sworn
into office by announcing a policy
of leniency for persons who failed
to register Wednesday, He directed
all state headquarters to register
such persons, if they present them
selves before the national lottery,
and not to consider them delin-
quents. The law provides a penalty
of five years in Jail and a $4,000
fine for willful failure to register.
The lottery date has not been set
but probably will be between Oct.

Cards from 78 citizens of Mexi-

the Democratic national committee.
His trips to make the addresses,
Mr.. Roosevelt said, will include in
spection tours of defense projects.
He said that despite the semi-offi-
cial character of such trips, he will
have the Democratic committee pay
the travel costs as matter of
"ethicS."
The President made his charge
about falsifications in a formal
statement issued at his press con-
ference, which read as follows:
"In the speech of acceptance to
the Democratic convention on July
10, 1940 the president said:
"'I shall not have the time or
the inclination to engage in any
purely political debate. But 1 shall
never be ioathe to call the atten-
ton of the nation to deliberate or
unwilling falsifications of fact.
There has been in this campaign,
however, systematic program OF
classification of fact by the opposi-
ton. The president does not believe
that it has been an unwilling fall
sification of fact. He believes it is
a deliberate Justification of fact
"He has, therefore, decided to tell
the American people what these
Misrepresentation have been and
in what respect they are false. With
that purpose in mind, the president
will make five speeches between
now and election day."

Speaker Outlines
Hitler Strategy
In Air Attacks

sibility of such an invasion is rath-
er remote in the opinion of DR.,
BusS who pointed out the tremend-
Gus difficulties in the face OF such
an invasion, asking what the Ger
mans would do for bases, supplies,
food, if they did invade England.
London's bombing is designed, he
declared, to strike at the economic
heart of Great Britain, fear of in
vasion being used by Hitler to hide
mis- real objective, the real weak
ness of Great Britain, the Mediter-
ranean. Bombing will continue,
small numbers of planes being sent
over since the Germans have found
this strategy more effective than
massed flights, but in the mean
time DR.. Buss advised his listeners
to watch for developments at three
points: Gibraltar, and the Suez,
through pincerS movement, one
arm of which is developing across
the North Africa, and the other,
through the Balkans south TO Sal
onica.
The Mediterranean is Britain's
life line, one-tenth of her shipping
being at all times in that sea,
bringing her needed supplies and
if that sea can be closed to her
shipping, it will have the same
effect as would the loss of one
half of that shipping since supplies
will have to be brought the longer
way, around the cape.
uitlar hoe M in, ,,,I,a at h or
/ the Spanish declare war or not:
all he wants, said the speaker, is
access to the Spanish railways for
the attack on Gibraltar: Italy is
attacking along the northern Afri-
can area with Suez as the objective
and step by step, Hitler is develop
ing the other pincer movement, the
march through the Balkans, aimed
eventually at Suez, with complete
Russian connivance. 'rShed no tears
! for Roumania" he said, for the
territory being shorn from that
country is that which was awarded
to Roumania as the spoils of the
last war
In the Orient, DR.. Buss believes,
fear of Japanese conquest of China
Indo China and the Dutch East
Indies, is exaggerated. Japan, in
this fourth year. still has not con-
quered China and is greatly weak
ened, her people lacking supplies
OF many necessary items.
Closing or opening of the Burma
road is of relative unimportance
he said, as long as the Chinese
have rice for their bowls. The larg-
er areas of Indo China, and the
Dutch East Indies, the enormous
native populations all make con-
quest of these countries exceeding
ly difficult. The United States has
little TO fear from their conquest
for of the % necessary ingredients
for the manufacture of war ma
terials, only two are found in this
region, this country having all
the rest.
"A military victory won't win a
war he emphasized, pointing out
the complicated problems which the
victor in military conquest has in
the feeding and administration ot
subject populations.

other light craft sent torpedo

Long-range guns bombarded Do

British convoy. British airplane
attacks on eight points in German
held France were admitted.
London predicted that new secret
fighter and bomber planes would
be brought into action soon to COM
bat the threat of the new German
tactics. BY use of bomb carrying
fighter and destroyer planes the
Germans have sharply cut the ra-
ito of their losses.
British-Russian relations, it was
reported, have deteriorated and
small hope was seen in London for
any general reconciliation. 1t was
believed in London that Russia
would not resist the axis consolida-
tion of control of the Balkans and
it was believed that Finland was
slipping out of the Russian sphere
