BLITzKRIEG STRATEGY

Finding out what is going on in- side the German High Command is one of the toughest jobs faced by U. s. intelligence services. Making due allowances, however, the best information available regarding Nazi strategy toward England can be summarized as follows;
 l. For the past few weeks the Nazis have been feeling out the British, testing out their aviators, seeing what kind of resistance they would put up. Reports are that the Germans have been surprised at the doggedness of British pilots, and their bravery against over whelming odds. German air losses have been four planes to one lost by the British.
 2. Nazi strategy also has been to starve the British by disrupt ing their merchant shipping and sinking their conveys. In this they have been far more successful than the world knows. The toll of Brit

ish destroyers conveying merchant vessels has been terrific.

ish destroyers conveying merchant vessels has been terrific.
 3. Nazi airmen have also been trying to locate British airdromes, now hidden underground and cam ouflaged. This probably accounts for part of the delay in Hitlers long promised blitz.
 4. There seems to have been difference of opinion in the Ger man High Command as to whether it would be wiser to concentrate first on the Mediterranean and clean up the British fleet, plus Gibraltar, Spain, Portugal and Egypt before tackling the tough problem of landing troops in Eng land
 Whether these question marks in the German High Command have been resolved in the last few days will be answered by events of cur rent days and hours However, there never has been any doubt that Hit Ter, whether he tried the Mediter- ranean route first or the Channel route, intended to crush Britain.

AIR DEFENSE

The seriousness with which the Army Air Corps regards the threat of air attacks against the United States is seen in the private ad- vices they gave an official who came to Washington to discuss a new airport at Los Angeles.
 It had been planned to make the airport comparable in size to LaGuardia Field in New York, but Air Corps officials were definitely negative. They said that no mili- tary purpose is served by large airport, but rather that it becomes a hazard in defense operations be- cause it is an easy target for bomb ing. Look what happened to the airportS and airdromeS of France y
 Air Corps advisers said future U. s. airports should include under ground hangars, and runWays made of criss- s-crossed open work pay ing, rather than solid paving. Pur- pose is to allow grass to grow in the open spaces of the criss- cross, and thus prevent photographing from the air

 erdn Reserves

Joe Snow, the boy who has won most of the ball games in the past few seasons for the Moose ball club, sailed on the steamer Co., lumbia last night, enroute to Fair banks and an. Army base job.
 The Moose lost chucker Bob Kim ball the other day, and third base man Joe Ghy The loss of those players has hurt.
 To bolster their offense, the Moose managing staff has gone into dusty shelves to come out with Everett Novel;, umpire in recent years, but one time quite ball player, and also George Red Shaw, another recent years umpire, and well re- membered as a good ball player.
 The Moose are scheduled to play the Elks the first good night avail able, except Saturday, for the last game on schedule. If Moose win. they win the 1940 crown, already having the first half under their belt. If they lose, the second half is in a three-Way knot.

 Last night Billy took on Jack Trambitas for a four-round battle Fans said no punches were pulled and it was a hammer and tong fest that showed both boys know their squared circle.
 When brother Jack was done, Lar ry took over and poured it to Me- Cam for five rounds as though he was after the title. Fans said there were bloody noses, and if it hadn't been for protecting headgears, some one would have been hurt.

CAPITOL GROUNDS

Keeping the lawns of the Capi- tol grounds moist in these drought days are no less than 6,95O sprink lers -. Gardeners are spreading sedge peat over the lawns to inn prove growth of grass This opera tion requires l73 tons of the fer tilizer, Michigan product from Michigan. . Just. to keep the grass fresh, new grass is planted every year. Approximate annual planting is $500 pounds of Italian rye and 5000 pounds of Kentucky blue grass. The Japanese beetle has come to the Capitol grounds, re- quiring use of heavy arsenic spray to protect the trees.
