London Enthusiastic
Over Idea Of Visit
BY Mrs. Roosevelt
Dorothy Thompson Wins
Britishers' Proise
For Her Articles
Ey PAUL PATTERSON,
Publisher Of the Baltimore Sun.

LONDON, Aug. 21 N.AN.A).-
London, excited by the return o1
Prime Minister Churchill from his
conference at sea with President
Roosevelt, is speculating on the pos
sibility of future meetings.
Special note was taken of q re-
mark attributed to Mr.. Roosevelt
that he saw no prospect of his max
ing a return visit in British waters
'at the present time"
Since it is not feasible for the
President to come over here, the
question asked is: What would be
the possibility of Mrs. Roosevelt
coming to record her impressions OF
wartime England?
Dorothy Thompson, who started
homeward today, has been acclaimed
for her sympathetic and highly emo
tional radio talks over B. B. c. and
for her newspaper articles. The
idea advanced is that Miss Thomp-
sons reception here gives some in
dication of the enthusiasm which q
visit by Mrs. Roosevelt would create.
The British are tremendously
stirred by the successful and adven-
turous voyages of Mr.. Churchill.
His arrival was marked by a strik-
ing turnout of all the highest off,
cials, including members of the
cabinet and the chiefs of the war,
navy and air services.
England is now settling back to
await his Sunday broadcast. hopeful
that it will bring announcements

British Are Gloomy
Over Reports Of
Russian Fighting
Make No Effort to Hide
Their Feelings Over
Gravity Of Situation
1y the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, Aug. 21.-The third
German offensive against Russia
appeared to be nearing a close to-
day with big German advances on
both the Ukrainian and Leningrad
fronts. and authoritative quarters
In London made no attempt to hide
what they regard as the gravity of
the Russian position.
These quarters were frankly
gloomy in discussing the situation,
although they said they had no
official confirmation of reports that
the Nazis had smashed their way
across the Dnieper River south of
Dnieperopetrovsk or that retreat
ing Russians had blown up the
great hydroelectric power dam on
the river at nearby Zaporozhe.
Gloomy dispatches from corre-
spondents in Moscow and Marshal
Voroshilov's call to defend Lenin-
grad to the last emphasized the i'm
portances of the Nazi offensive in
that area.
The Germans appeared to be at
tempting to cut across the Moscow
Ireningrad railway, thus hating sup
plies, and then to smash northward
to the shores of Lake Ladoga and
thereby cut off Leningrad and its
garrison of about a million men.
The l,500-mile front from which
the Germans were ceaselessly at
tacking today runs in a Jagged line
from Narva, below Leningrad at the
Estonian border. to Kherson, near
the Black Sea at the mouth of the
Dnieper.
Running southeast from Narva to
Novorod, the line turns south
along the western shore of Lake
linen and then goes southwestward
to Velikieluki and Gorodok. The
battle line then swings west through
Velizh and cuts south enveloping
Smolensk in a major salient. The
southern base of this salient rests
on Gomel.
From Gomel the line runs south
ward to the west of Kiev to Bel
Tserkov and then along the Dnieper
to Dnieperopetrovsk, zaporozhe and
Kherson to the Black Sea.

President Roosevelts "interven-

Hispano-American danger of being
'colonized' by the United States.
He said President Roosevelt did
not adopt the "interventionist posi-

business. It's a typical capitalist
plutocratic liberal phenomenon"
Goebbels charged Mr.. Roosevelt
wants TO take over South American
military, political and economic
bases while their frontiers are weak

He declared that Germany, which
has been preparing eight years for
the economic struggle, has at its

power of Europe, not only the
countries collaborating freely with
Germany but also the occupied
zones. In this respsot Germany is

British Educate Tommies
On Reasons for Fighting
BY the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, Aug. 21.-The British
War ONCE has launched a project
to tell the Tommies what they are
fighting for.
The new educational scheme, pro-
~viding for frequent talks by officers
and movies and radio programs, en-
braces Cromwells definition of a
good soldier as "one who must
know what he fights for and loves
what he knows"
1t debates the attitude of COM
manders toward soldiers embodied
IN Tennyson's Charge of the Light
Brigade'-"theirs not to reason
why: theirs but to do and die"
In a pamphlet introducing the
plan to educate the army on current
events, policies and personalities,
Sir John Greer Dill, chief of the
imperial general staff, wrote that
'if the ill-informed or Indifferent
citizen is a menace to our national
safety, so too is the soldier VIII
neither knows nor cares why he is
In arms"
