not required to take the tests.
Another innovation this year is
the differentiation between
licenses for operators, junior OPP
orators, and restricted junior OPP
orators.
The licensed operators must be
18 or more, and will be charged
$l00 for a permit giving them
full driving rights. The junior
operators (l6-l8 inclusive) will
receive their licenses for SO cents,
but they will not be permitted to
drive outside their home county,
will not be permitted to drive
after dark, and must not exceed
a speed of IS miles per hour. The
restricted junior operator Q4-l6)

tions as the older group, but ne

Presenting a mass Of statistics
to prove his contention that there
is grave danger of complete
failure of gasoline stocks this win

TALK OF BRITISHiEUROPEAN
INVASION ONLY PROPAGANDA
SCHEME, OBSERVERS CLAIM



WASHINGTON, Aug. 28.-Will
the British army invade German
controlled Europe at any time in
the practicable future?
The various answers one gets
from military men all add UP to
NOT Some few feel the British
might dress up small raid or
two as an invasion attempt if
their losses could be held to a
minimum. But the few have no
deep convictions.
/ can state definitely that the
British air command agrees with
other branches of the military
service that full-scale invasion
attempt against the Germans this
year would have no better than
a l-to-3 chance. 1t would, there
fore, run the danger of going
down in history as a futile raid
ing party. Annoyance TO the
Germans would be the only re-
suit.
Invasion talk is prevalent at
this time only because il serves
a propaganda purpose, in the
view of well-informed observers.
and. it's based on the idea that
the Germans will hear the talk,
and prepare for invasion even
though they are convinced it will
NOT come.
The basic reasoning behind
the British high commands re-
fusal to consider invasion at this
time, lies in military principle.
Any force attempting to estab-
lsh a beach-head must count on
losing perhaps 100000 out of
every million men thrown into
action. Even if the force should
establish beach-head, it would
be exhausted, and the problem
of widening the breach would be
even more serious than the orig
inal attack.
The stream of death notices to
parents, sweethearts and friends
would damage morale, perhaps
wreck it. if the invasion should
fail in the end.
From the point of view of the
British government, the first
duty of a prime minister and his
military advisers is to defend the
homeland. That means the Brit
ish must conserve men and ma
terials for a full scale defense.
especially since the target for
the Germans is concentrated,
and therefore invasion is some
what simpler from their point of
view and from their springboard.
What, then, can the British do?
They can continue to blockade
the Germans by air and sea, and
blast continental industries from
the air, now that their naval
force is buttressed by command
of the air over western Germany
and France. These are slow, un-
spectacular methods of attack
The public cannot see victory
when it's coming at a snails
pace. But the ultimate results
might be the same, especially if
the British keep UP the drum
fire of bombs, hold tight the
steel chains of blockade.
Germans may be doing with
out butter and beefstake. but in
the end, the effect of denial is
the same as the drip-drip Of wa
ter on the brow of prisoner.
After several thousand slow
drops have bit him in the fore
head, each additioal drop feels
ike a sIedge-hammer blow. The
Germans know this. They're
trying to achieve the same re-
suits with counterblockade.
British forces can continue
also to fight for the strategic
outposts of empire, restrict Ger
many to land victories in Eu-

Plan First Reading

Council tonight is empowered
to pass the newly drafted ordin-
ance only on its first reading, but
it is believed likely the members
seking quick action will ask an
ther meeting Friday night in or
der to give the ordinance final
approval.
Council President William
Freeman and Councilman j. Glen
wood Sweeting are expected to
oppose the ordinance tonight,
since both agree that the city
should be granted terms not in
cluded in the original measure
and considered unacceptable by
the aqueduct commission.
Sweeting today pointed out
that a story in The Citizen which
said he voted against the measure
Friday night was in error.
Actually, the councilman pro-
posed five amendments to the
ordinance, all of which were turn
ed down, then passed his vote on
the roll call
Sweeting sought to have elm
mated clauses which would pro-
vide for the city's paying 40 cents
per 1000 gallons of water and
for an annual charge to the city
of $50 per fire hydrant,
He also suggested clauses grant
ing free water to the city for
municipal purposes, providing
that the city should receive one
per cent of the commissions gross
revenue, and providing that fail
ure of the commission to secure
money for the project within so
days after the ordinances passage
should void the lease, thus per-
hitting the city to seek new
contract for installation of the
aqueduct system with any other
agency.

With council expected to recall
the faulty existing ordinance and
pass another tonight on first read
ing, Mayor Albury said he still
has not read the measure, but win
sign it if it embodies terms con-
tanned in a tentative ordinance he
read month ago.
Supporters of the measure in
council, who passed the first ordi-
nance on final reading Friday,
have insisted that the measure
contains exactly the same provi-
sions tentatively approved by
them before.
City Attorney Aquilino Lopez,
meanwhile, informed the council
men 1t would be necessary to re-
call the first measure to remove a
clause in which the city granted
the commission an easement ON
the army pipe line at the city
stump, The easement has since
been learned to be unnecessary,
since the land to be turned over
to the commission does not in
ciude that passed over by the
pipe lire.

LANSING. March 20.-Unevent-
full has been this session of the
Legislature that legislators found
no better target for attack than
themselves.
Lacking a better victim, the
members turned about and gave
themselves a good verbal lashing.
They accused themselves of
wasting state funds by sending
too much mail to their con-
stituents.
They complained they had been
running up too many telephone
and telegraph tolls.
And they told themselves that
they had handicapped the state
police by requesting cars neces-
sary for police work.

Because the ears had all

why.
Goodness, gentlemen. we

instructed them not to spend more
