wishes in the matter. that Hitler is
Germany and Germany is Hitler.
Ever since the beginning of the Ma
tional Socialist regime, some of us had
been hoping for an insurrection in Ger
many and an overthrow of Hitler.
Months before the blitzkrieg came to
Belgium, We followed eagerly line of
speculative evidence which indicated a
breach between the Nazis and the Army
chiefs, who, the story went, were con-
vinced that Hitler was wild. frenzied
fanatic. But Count Jacques Davignon,
Belgian ambassador in Berlin, told me
that such hope, like so many hopes
looking to German defeat, was based
upon delusion where the wish sired the
thought.
The German people will eat stones
if need be-" Count Davignon told me
grimly. They are united to man back
of Hitler, no matter where he leads them,
no matter what happens to Germany"
The war is not popular. But that does
not mean that the German people will
not go through to the grim end and
follow their Fuehrer, no matter how
desperate the situation may become.
suppose a war referendum would have
resulted 80 per cent against, but now
that the die has been cast, all Germany
is prepared for a finish fight. The
common attitude is negative rather than
positive, with no sense of triumph or
elation over the unbroken series of
military successes.
Public Remains Calm.
I was in the bar of the Eden Hotel,
the swankiest spot In Berlin, when the
announcement came over the radio of
the capitulation of the Epirus Army,
which meant the end of Greece. But
people seated at tables, drinking Rhine
wine and sloppy, almost kickless beer,
recorded nothing. You might have
thought they were listening to a
weather report.

Low Countries when every house was, by
order, decorated with SWaStika flags.
But beyond this display, there was no
celebration. Not note even of salts
faction. was told the same thing was
true after the fall of France. The at
titude is negative, yet there is an un-
yielding determination to win.
So there is no chance of an insurrec-
tion under prevailing conditions and one
would have to recognize overwhelming
defeat, crushing to German morale,
before any movement for different
leadership could be effected.
I came away from Berlin the last week
of May after three months stay. During
that time my notes record six air raids.

the slow progress of the Rumanians
across Bessarabia.
On the road to Moscow, the Germans
on Monday sent columns past Minsk, the
capital of White Russia, 20 miles east
OF the RuSsian-Polish border. Prema-
turely, German military spokesmen re-
! ported in Berlin that Nazi troops were

Moscow Events showed that
the Germans were far from SmolenSk
which Napoleon reached SO days after
he went to war with Russia. But by the
weeks end the Germans were 80 miles
beyond Minsk. With three prongs they
aimed their armies toward Moscow, and
they all were fighting to get across the
Berezina River-at Lepel, at Borisov
and at Bobruisk, towns along the river.
The action around MinSk on the part
OF the Germans was carried out by
plncerS operation, one side of it ad-
vanced through Lithuana, the other
through Poland: and by the pincers
100000 Russian troops were caught in
an ineScapable trap around Bialystok.
There the Russians fought until none of
them were left to fight, said Berlin.
German war correspondents reported in
German papers that in one place where
Russian cavalry regiment failed to
smash through the surrounding German
line of mechanical troops and artillery,
new attacks were tried over fallen men
and horses until not a single horse or
man of the regiment remained"
Meanwhile, during the u days of re-
siStance, the German columns had gone
north from the general Bialystok area,
taken Wilma and Kaunas in Lithuania
and reached Dvinsk in Southern Latvia,
on the DVina River. This was the south
ern thrust at Leningrad the second
largest city of Russia, sitting perilously
close to the enemy country, for Russia,
of Finland. From DvinSk Germans
moved eastward to Lepel From Dvinsk
Germans moved northward to the Lat
Wan town OF Jacobstadt and northeast

RED ARMY, AS IN 1914, HELD POORLY LED
Some Soviet Officers Believed Sympathy Nu

Despite reassuring statements to the
State Department from Ambassador
Constantine Oumansky regarding Rus
sias ability to withstand the German
onslaught, Government quarters and
Army leaders fear that Russia's power
of resistance already has been badly
impaired.
There is no doubt that the Russian
peasant-soldier who fought magnif-
Gently during the first World War is
doing the same today. But, as during
the 1914-1917 campaign, he is being
badly led and, in some instances, be-
trayed by his leaders.
1t seems that the officers in the Soviet
Army, like their predecessors in the
Czarist days, are either inexperienced
or in sympathy with the German gov
ernment. In the last war they ad-
mired Prussianism and would have
liked it introduced in Russia. 1t was
the only means, said the grand dukes
and the senior officers in the army. to
suppress the growing menace of democ-
racy and socialism" Hence, while off,
cially fighting Germany they were actu-
ally doing their best to throw their hand
in and frequently communicated to the
general staff the most confidential plans
of their French and British allies.
U. S. Lacks Full Reports.
In the present war, the generals are
said to be in sympathy with the army
socialism which has developed in the
Reich since 1899. They dream of a
government under a military rule. So
far Russia has been ruled by civilians
with an Ogpu which cracked down
mercilessly on army leaders Many of
the present army and divisional COM
manders would like to reverse the roles
and believe that with the assistance of
Herr Hitler they may be able to create
an ideal military socialistic Soviet state.
American official observers in Moscow
communicate to the State Department
only the official Russian versions of the
campaign. They are not allowed to be
in touch with the military; neither is
any American permitted to 90 to the
front. Hence, reports sent to Washing
ton are based mostly on personal i'm
pressions and hearsay stories from
Moscow.
Military experts believe the U. S. S. r.,
under able military leadership and with
strong feeling of nationalism in her
population. could continue the war With
the Reich for many months.

Mediterranean Front

The British continued last week to
record steady successes. gained with diff
ficulty, in Syria But that was the least
of the news from the hot Middle East.
The surprising information was the
transfer of Gen. Alexander Wavell from
his command of the Imperial Army of
the Nile. the British force in the Middle
East, to be commander in chief in India.
Gen. Wavell, who fought under Gen.
Allenby in the East during the World
War, had won and lost a large portion
of Libya, had been the generaissimo for
the successful British campaign against

or so after midnight
About miles west of the Unter den
Linden bomb fell in vacant lot where
it dug huge crater, yet within radius
of 500 yards was the blasting havoc of
the explosion, roofs torn from houses and
windows splintered so that all the streets
in the neighborhood were filled with litter
and fragmented glass. A German we
met on the scene, who had lived in
America, told us that this single projec-
tile was filled with compressed air and
was probably made in America. This he
said factually, without trace of bitter
ness. 1t was typical of Germans gen.
orally. There is little hatred or hostility
in Germany.
The common run of people in Germany
stay strangely detached, as though they
were Indifferent spectators of this war
which will control their destiny and the
destiny of unborn German generations.
When the English sky raiders stayed
until the early morning hours, heard
Germans say: "They must get going now,
the light will be coming and they will
get shot down." They said this with
sincere solicitude. And more curious was
the oculist on Freideriechstrasse. 1t was

Ural Mountains. This chain which sepa-
rates European Russia from the Asiatic
empire possesses both raw. materials and
manufacturing facilities. 1t lacks tool
ing requirements. These must be brought
from the United States. The decision Of
President Roosevelt not to recognize the
existence of the war between the U. S.
S. R. and the Reich might help us ex-
port these toolS-if We could find means
to get them there.
For the time being, the only open road
is by sea to VladivoStok and through
Siberia to the Urals. This route is un-
certain. The japanese have not yet taken
a definite attitude in the present con-
f1ict. The terms of the AXiS-JapaneSe al
lance provide that Japan enter con-
f1ict only in the event an Axis partner
has been the victim Of aggression.
Help to Be Limited.
Since even the Japanese cannot claim
that Germany has been victimized by
Russia, Toxic is keeping quiet and watch
ing developments. But if the United
States were able to send large shipments
OF war materiel there is no doubt that
they would be interfered with by sub
marines based on the japanese islands.
Whether Germany has submarines that
far from her bases or not is immaterial.
Japan could always place some at the
disposal of her European partners.
Whatever hopes Moscow may have for
early American support must be set
aside as impossible for the following
reasons:
l. Our production is not sufficient.
From August on, we shall be in position
to help Britain on a much larger scale
than at present. The United States Army
will begin to be more fully equipped. But
it is more than doubtful that we will
have enough war materiel for any other
nation.
Shortage Of Shipping.
2. The lack of transportation will be
felt for several months. Our plans for
the production of small transports with a
cruising radius of about $500 miles will
not be fully realized until late in the
fall. A change in the plans of these yes:
sells, the construction of which has been
kept strict secret until recently, would
delay their mass production. We have no
other boats to spare for the traffic be-
tween our West Coast ports and Siberia.
The few neutral ships which are now
plying between Vladivostok and San
Francisco or Seattle about once month
are nowhere near sufficient to provide the
Russians with the tooling necessary for
their arms and airplane factories in the
east.
3. If by some miracle sufficient bottoms
could be found to take materiel to the
Russians, naval observers believe that
