SYRIA:
And Ethiopia

Britain also seemed on the thresh-
old of success in Syria and Eth
opia, and resolved to do something
about North Africa, because General
Sir Archibald Waven was relieved,
a new commander, General Auchin-
leck sent out from England, and the
whole African and Middle Eastern
campaign seemed on the upgrade.
The final crumb of Italian resist
ance in Ethiopia melted away be-
fore. the rains and the relentless
British follow-up of victory after vic
tory, and another menace to Brit
aims Red sea and Suez position
was removed.
In Africa the situation was no
worse than it had been, still appar-
emily a stalemate on the Egyptian
border, with the Tobruk defenders
still holding out. There were some
indications that the British forces,
strengthened by U. S. tanks and
lend-lease airplanes, were beginning
to lay the groundwork of new adj
vance against Cyrenaica-not only
TO relleVe the 1ODTuk SdTTlSOIl, Uut
to attempt to win a major victory
against the Italo-Nazi forces.
AS to Syria, there were reports
of an imminent Franco British
peace there, following in the wake
of continuous series of English
victories and the steady fall-back Of
the Vichy defenders around the vital
Beirut sector.
All in all, the British seemed to
be making what use they could Of
the Russo-German battle on all
their various fronts, and with vary
ing success.
There was a strong demand in
London for an invasion attempt on
the continent, but the apparent YER
dict of the powers that seemed to
be thumbs down."
Britain was unwilling to risk fur
Their shipments Of me nand arma-
ments to the continent until a far
more drastic preparatory air bonn
bardment had been carried out.
Britain wanted no more Dun
querqueS.

Education's Beginning

The education of the human
mind commences in the cradle;
and the impressions received
there frequently exert their infu-
ence through the whole of life
Principles which take the deepest
root are those implanted during
the seasons of infancy, childhood
and youth.-Logan.

quality and playing performance of
Stradivarius and Guarnerius violins
in comparison with the best modern
instruments.
With harmonic analyzer DR..
Saunders dissected the tones of old
and new violins, plotted their ups
and downs on graph. These indi-
Gated that there was practically no
difference between the tone quality
of a Strad or Guarnerius and of a
fine new instrument. The scientist

AMERICA:
Il Round Trip

The luxury liner America was
designated by the state department
to make round trip on the At
lantic from New York to Lisbon and
return, carrying deported diplomats
both ways.
At Lisbon will be gathered the
American consular officials from
Italy and Germany, and they will
be brought back to New York.
The German and italian consuls,
under a July Is deadline to quit the
country, were to be taken to Lisbon
aboard the America with members
of their families.
There are SO of the Americans,
and with their families will swell
the Americas passenger list to a
somewhat respectable amount.
Prior to the eastward sailing there
were at least two suicides among
members of the German consular
staff. One was ascribed to i'll
health, the other to despair at leav-
ing this country after 20 years resi-
dence.
| COTTON:
After hating its purchases of cot
ton for several months, the British
again had started to buy the staple,
and the announcement that they
would take about 10000 bales a
month seemed to indicate another
evidence that the battle Of the At
lantic was easing up again.
Not only must the British, said
shipping men, feel more assurance
that their cargoes would arrive safe
ly, but they must feel that the sup
ply of available ships must be on
the increase.

| LOST:
| u. S. Nurses

Added to the canaan and the
Robin Moor incidents was the tor
pedoing of the Dutch steamer Mas
den, the survivors including num-
Der of U. S. marines, bound for Lon
don to do guard duty at the Amer
lean Embassy, and American
nurses, Is of whom were saved, but
two feared lost at sea.
The young women were group OF
Red Cross nurses who volunteered
to cross the dangerous Atlantic to
imam" Red Cross hospital in Lon
don.
The vessel was torpedoed on a
Sunday, and nearly week later a
rescue vessel brought all but two
of the nurses safely to London.
The Dutch freighter was part Of
a large convoy bound for Britain,
and what the fate of the rest of the
convoy was could not be learned, but
one of the nurses said:
''The captain of the ship that res
cued us looked scared to death when
he saw his vessel boarded by 9
bunch of women.

INSULTS AT S2.19 APIECE

Few people would like to pay money to be in- suited, but the Germans don't mind.
 Because the British have been seizng all mail addressed from America to German radio stations, the Reich recently announced it's short wave broadcasts that requests for program numbers could be filed at Radio Corporation of America offices for transmission overseas by radio
 The radiograms began to pour into 12 RIGA offices from coast to coast. The general tenor of the collect messages was one of abuse. Finally RIGA stopped sending the radiograms and queried Berlin to whether the Germans wanted to keep pay ing $219 apiece for insults up to 25 words. The messages hand were virtually unanimous in their comments on the Reich, RIGA explained.
 Send 'em anyway came back the answer from Berlin where officials explained that although most of the messages were objectionable, some ndica- tion of the radio program preferences of Americans is obtained from them
 Any radio station is much influenced in the construction of it's programs by what the listeners

Air Routes to Alaska
|. Seattle Post-Intelligencer)

Seattle Post-nteigencer)
 In any conceivable situation which might arise upon the Pacific Alaska must depend largely upon air defenses Hence the new chain of landing fields through Canada which will enable United States military planes to fly from the Midwest, via Ed monon, to Alaska, is an important item in continen- tal defense plans. It would be available If any interruption should occur in transportation by sea.
 The fact remains that the shortest route be- tween the United States and Alaska, whether by sea- by land or by air, is from Puget Sound The commercial air service follows the route It was established in the face of strong efforts by interior communities to plot commercial air route that would have been much less convenient for Aaskans in their travel to and from the United States, and in conducting business by mail
 The bulk of commodity traffic to and from Alaska always will be by water. Convenience dictates that air traffic related to business should follow, generally speaking the route At least it should have the same termni.
 Similar considerations prevail in the case of military communications. Under all normal condi- tions military supplies will move to Alaska by water. Men are being transported the same way.
 In the absence of readily available landing fields near the coast of Western Canada the new air route from the Middle West to Alaska will meet possible emergency needs On permanent basis it could not compare, in availability to the facilities that would be offered by the proposed Alaska Inter- national Highway, with landing fields strategically located along its direct route.
 Seattle and Alaska ought not to lose sight of this project Whatever the outcome of this war, 1t safe to that the United States will never allow Alaska to go undefended. Air defenses will be of increasing importance. The shortest possible lines of communication advantageous under the conditions of peace They are of the most vital i'm portance in any defense plan
 The arguments for the Alaska Highway are well known. It proposed under conditions quite diff ferent from those existing today The fact that Canada and the United States are separate govern ments is the best explanation of why such road is not in existence.
 The current tendency, necessarily, is to judge all important projects from the viewpoint of their availability as part of the defense program But from this angle also any long range view certainly points to the desirabity of connections by air and land the shortest routes, to guard against inter ruption of traffic and communications by more nor nal channels.

coNvoYs ONCE A MONTH

Result is that only three or four 1estroyers accompany convoy, and conveys now consist of around 6C ships, moving so slowly that it take TWO weeks for them to cross. The destroyers go half way across the Atlantic, then return while another group of destroyers meets the convoy n mid-Atlantic. Destroyers are now 0 scarce that conveys are sailing only once month.
 German planes are able to fly out locate the position of the slow-mov- Ing convoy, then notify Nazi Submar-
 oes. It is reported that submarines have certain hour of the day when they come up for radio messages to get the location of ships.
 In addition to submarines the Nazis are now using long range four-motored bombers, similar to our flying fortresses, against transatlan- tic conveys. The Nazis are reported to have only l9 of these, but they can fly half way across the Atlantic and return-with devastating effects upon conveys.
 All of these factors indicate why British shipping is in a desperate spot, and why the lease-lend bill may mean very little unless Am erican ships and naval vessels are
The Daily Alaska empire., 1941-03-04
THE BALKANS

The weakness of Italy is the main reason for the burst of German speed in Bulgaria and Jugoslavia, aimed toward the conquest of Sal Dnika on the Aegean Sea.
 Once the Nazis take that key post, they can speed throughout the Greek isles, using them as air and sub marine bases for disrupting the British navy in the Mediterranean; also for blasting Suez.
 At present, the Nazis have about 1000 planes in Bulgaria against about 500 British planes in Greece. With Turkish help the British and Greeks could stand off the German army for weeks, perhaps indefinite ly. But without either Turkish or Jugoslav help, the Greeks and Brit ish are beaten before they start.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1941-03-04
THE NORTH ATLANTIC

For Great Britain the Atlantic Ocean and the English Channel form the most important front of all; also the most dangerous.
 The British Isles now are so well fortified that optimism is justified if they have to resist actual in- vasion. However, Hitler can win his war without invasion, and here is how he can do it:
 The British shipping situation at present is nothing short of desper- ate. Last year the British lost B. 5O0,000 tons of shipping. This year they estimate they will lose 4OOO,- 900 tons.
 Reason for these losses is that the British navy is spread so thin in vital areas. It has 180 destroyers left, but ITO of them are used in the Mediterranean and along the Euro pean coast from Norway down to North Africa. This chain of de- stroyers and light cruisers is neces- sary to prevent Germany from breaking the blockade.
 Furthermore, destroyers have to come into port for refueling, repairs and to rest personnel British de- stroyer crews have seen such gruel- ing service that men of 20 now look 40 years old.
 This apportionment of destroyers leaves only about ten, plus a few light cruisers, for convoy work across the North Atlantic.
