The Allies are now recruiting
an army to invade Russia from
the north. probably by way OF
Murmansk. So far the attacking
force consists Of three divisions
now being organized secretly
Canadian. French and Swedish.
They viii be equipped by France
and Great Britain, and when they
are ready to make their assault,
their landing along the northern
Russian coast will be covered by
British warships. They will have
strong auxiliary air force con-
sisting Of German. American.
Italian, French and British filters.
Though accommodating planes
rapidly. the Films are deficient
in flying personnel.
simultaneously, the Allies
will probably attack through the
Balkans with Marshal Maxine
Weygand's Syrian force. which
now consists of almost 5000
men, and which will be augment
ed between now and the leaping-
off hour. On the third front-the
western - the stalemate will
probably continue, but the allies
will exert enough artillery and
aerial pressure to prevent der
fuehrer from shifting reinforce
ments to the Russian or Balkan
salients.
Cordell Hull virtually severed
diplomatic relations with Mos

excerpts from the Johnsonian

Your HEALTH
BY DIR. NORRIS FISHBEIN

In accident cases, chances Of
the patients eventual complete
recovery frequently depend on
early treatment of his injuries.
The following advice, concern
ing the steps to be taken in
first aid may apply to Red Cross
workers, attendants at highway
first air stations or to anyone
who may find himself in the
position of giving help to acct
dent victims:
Dressings: Every care should
be taken to handle dressings as
little as possible, and to make
certain that the surface of the
dressings to be applied has not
been touched. A dressing that
has already been put on a wound
should not be removed unless
the patient is ready to be sent
home or there is some good rea-
son for taking it off.
Severe injury TO soft tissues:
These may be present, although
there is no fracture, and the in
juries should be dressed after re-
moval of foreign matter. Splints
should be applied. Wounds of the
larger muscles-for example, the
upper thigh-may be associated
with considerable shock. despite
the absence of damage 10 bone
or severe hemorrhage.
Hemorrhage: Application of
a tourniquet is painful, and it
may seriously endanger the vi
tality Of the limb on which it is
placed. A tourniquet should.
therefore. be applied only after
careful consideration. Under or
binary circumstances, the pres
sure should be released after Is
minutes to see whether the
bleeding has stopped. Under no
circumstances should a tourni-
quet be left on for more than an
hour. 1t should be applied just
tight enough to stop the hemor-
rhsge.
Abdominal wounds: The en-
trance wound in these cases may
be insignificant. There is usu-
ally considerable pain. but the
abdominal muscles may not be
rigid: II bloodvessel has been
ruptured, the pulse rate will in
crease. Morphine should be CIV
en- only when the pain is intense
and the patient is restless.
Chance Of recovery in such cases
usually depends on early opera
ton.
Burns: No attempt should be
made 10 clean burns. They
should simply be covered with
suitable dressing. The dress
ing (picrie acid should be
moistened before application.
Picric acid does not interfere
with efficiency of fannie acid
dressing applied later. Morphine
will probably be required.
