He has killed millions of peaceful peo-
pie in Russia. Can he be destroyed?
Let us take common sense inven-
tory.
Italy was expected to give great
help to the Germans. Her African
Empire has been torn to shreds as
Churchill threatened The fear of a
German invasion is all that prevents
Italy from suing for peace Japan,
exhausted by her fruitless butchery in
China, will not risk contest with
the combined American and British
navies and Russian air forces. Iran,
ancient Persia, is in the hands of
Russia and Britain That country can
produce more oil than any other Also
it took II years to build railroad
through Iran from the Persian gulf
900 miles to the Caspian sea. This
is in good condition-standard gauge
ready for transport of Hindu troops
and American supplies to the heart
of Russia. Turkey will not yields the
Dardanelles without fanatic fight
| The Norwegian railways were pub
licly owned before Hitler's invasion.
The coal to run them was gotten from
state owned mines in Spitzbergen.
Much coal for other fuel came from
Spitzbergen to Norway and thence to
Germany. A Canadian expedition de-
stroyed these mines last week and re-
moved the Norwegian workers, who
were glad to CO. Hitler executed two
labor leaders in Norway the same
week.
Can Russia defeat Germany on
land? Common sense indicates that
she can and will. In early June l met
in Connecticut the distinguished Ber-
lin correspondent for the Chicago Tri-
bune She expressed the belief that
Germany would be in Moscow in six
weeks. l then said and now say, that
except on a few planes or as prisoners
of war Germans will not see Moscow.
The loss of Kiev is serious blow to
the Red Star and Hammer and Sickle
forces. But Wrangel captured Kiev
and Odessa in the war of Seven Ma
tionals against the Bolsheviks. Wran-
gel finally escaped from Budenny to
Constantinople with part of his bag
gage to quote our press of that era
Wrangeps victories CD had been front
page headlines for months. The item
of his escape was in small type on an
inside page of the Anaconda Standard.
The bones of many gallant British,
French and Italian soldier have been
buried near Balaklava almost a hun

Borodino and that regardless of the
fire in Moscow and a hard winter,
Napoleon must have retreated. The
scorched plan succeeds in Russia and
China.

Indian Summer comes in Russia
Just as in Montana During these
next five weeks the German High
Command will not spare German
boys lives. The supreme drive of
he mightiest military machine the
world has known is now in full swing.
At Leningrad it is being repulsed.
Two hundred miles west of Moscow,
where Smolensk was, it is being
lriven back. 1t has forced the Dnei-
,er bridge heads, taken Dneiprostroy,
bout the size of Portland, Oregon,
nd Kiev, about the size of San Fran

resent German strength is almost
pent. None of the self-appointed
Military experts would say that the
United States would be beaten when
ONE other power might have taken

'acoma at cost of two million men.
With trained army of thirteen mil

common sense opinion is that Rus
