Battle of the Balkans Not Yet
Allied Disaster, Eliot Says
First Round Goes to the Germans,
But Bitz Advance Appears Halted

sized now Is that the signs in the
Balkans are far from indicating an
Allied disaster; the Germans seem
to be stopped, the possibility OF an
Italian disaster exists, and the Yugo-
slav Army Is definitely still to be
reckoned with as a fighting force.
The Germans may get going again
an hour from now and upset all
these apparent indications, but at
the moment there is hope both for
the British-Greek defensive front
and the saving to help hold 1t Of
q good part Of the Yugoslav Army.
In Africa, meanwhile, the German
thrust into Cirenaica seems to be
part Of general and well-con-
ceived plan Of attack on Britain's
strategic arch" in the Eastern Med
iterranean. 1t is impossible to judge
with what force the Germans are
advancing, or how far they will get
British reinforcements are being
rushed by air from East Africa,
which may be some indication OF
the urgency of the situation. 1t is,
however, to be remarked that the
Germans have not yet taken To-
bruk, and that when they do, they
must face for every yard they ad-
vance beyond it an increasingly
difIicult water-supply problem which
no "bhtz" boldness will solve.
Force of Drive Surprising.
The. surprising force of the Ger
man effort here Is said to be due
to the Germans having brought over
their equipment in ships, their men
by air One is inclined. however, to
regard this as an oversimplification
When all is said and done, the con-
ditions of sea transport even under
the shadow of the German air power
in Sicily are not such as to allow q
really large German force to be sent
across. or to be supplied in offensive
operations after its arrival.
Some supplies have no doubt been
accumulated, but these cannot last
for long; the period Of their use is
being timed to coincide with the
German advance into Greece and
Yugoslavia Moreover, the Ger.

there must have been a good deal
on hand.
More Mani Successes Likely.
There may be further German sue
cesses in North Africa, since the
British seem to have cut their ef-
fectives there dangerously low. But
there is perhaps food for thought In
the fact that the British Mediter-

On the whole, then, both for the

dict must be: First round to the

Drug to Treat
Pyorrheo Made
From Persimmon
' the Associated Press

TUSKEGEE. Ala. April 12.-Dr
George w. Carver, Negro scientist OF
Tuskegee Institute, disclosed today
he has developed from the persim-
mon drug to treat pyorrhea.
DR.. Carver said the persimmon,
which grows wild In profusion in the
South, was boiled and the juice was
combined with other ingredients to
form q powerful liquid astringent.
The aged and largely self-taught
chemist, who specializes in develop
ing useful substances from common
products, said the drug would not
be marketed until it has been thor
oughly tested by the dental profess
sion. The dental division of the
John A. Andrews Clinical Society, an
organization of Negro physicians
and dentists, will conduct these
tests.
