The principal source Of concern for
England and the United States in the
Petain announcement was whether 1t
meant the inclusion of the French
African Empire in the scope of cooper
alton with Germany. II 80, Germany
could use Northern French Africa as q
base Of operations for improving the
force CT the campaign against Egypt,
which has been quiescent, and could use
fering with shipping on the South At
lantic.
On the other side of Europe, the Ger
man armies in Russia continued to strain
their greatest energies toward the cap
ture Of the Ukraine. Russia admitted
that Smolensk, on the road to Moscow,
had fallen to the invaders, and the As
sociated Press found the city In ruins,
almost leveled, deserted by men and
women who are harassing the invader
by the "scorched- earth" policy.
The Russian war is now seven weeks
old, and by the map the Germans have
accomplished little. The pressure on
the Ukraine is great, however, and some
observers foresee now a German victory
over Russia. Certainly, the Russians
now are suffering the greatest trials
which they have met in the war so far
Under the leadership of the man with
the finest mustache in the war, Marshal
Semeon Budyenny, Russian cavalrymen
were sent at the weeks beginning to the
Ukraine to hold back the German in
vaders, whose prime objec-
Ukroine tive Is Odessa, the Black
Pressure Sea port. The horsemen
dashed to the hottest Sec
tors of the fight and dismounted to give
battle on foot. They ride, according TO
Pravda, the Moscow paper, with rifles,
bayonets, hand grenades, mine throwers
and even machine guns.
The wild horsemen of the 10th CEN
tury are camouflaged to escape German
aviation and use forest trails. They
strike into the enemy rear ranks through
gaps in their lines, and after the attack
on foot ride away as the Germans try to
rally their superior numbers.
The German operation in Ukraine,
according to Dienst aus Deutschland, is
based on the encirclement principle.
There is a major encirclement move
ment which is aimed at taking all
the territory west of the Dnieper River,
and within that major movement
number of minor encirclings are in
process of development.
Unoficially German spokesmen boasted
Wednesday that Marshal Budyenny, in
charge of the Ukrainian defense, would
be compelled soon to surrender Odessa
and the whole sector west of the Dnieper.
This includes roughly, half the coal,
wheat, oil and metal-producing region.
including the important wheat storage
and shipbuilding center of Nikolaev
Nikolaev was a repeated target for Nazi
bombings
The southern border of the Ukraine is
the Black Sea, and DN.B., the official
German news agency, said that German
airplane bombs damaged two Russian
destroyers, of 1000 tons each, in that sea
of the Crimean Peninsula. The penin-
sula is west of Odessa and of the Dnieper
mouth.

Marshal Henri PHILIPPE Petain, chief OF

Decides men in which he announced
that his government had
decided to give its whole support to Ger

named Admiral Jean Darlan as the pos

appealed TO the United States for un-

of prevention of hay fever is the
pulling of the ragweed that grows
in our back yards and on vacant

actually increased within the last
few years, partly due to the fact
that more people now live in the
suburbs than formerly, and also
due, no doubt, to the common use
of the automobile which takes peo-
pie into the country and intimate

of pollen. Our citizens should real

STRAWBERRY FLAVOR EOR
WINTER l9l1.l94s

No Delaware Strawberries should
so to waste this year.
After you have made plenty of
allowance for an abundant supply
of fresh strawberries, plan to make
the strawberry season last the year
around in canned strawberries,
strawberry preserves and straw
berry juice.
Strawberry juice may be a new
conner to your pantry shelves, but
| predict it will be one of your
most popular reserves. Many ber-
ries this year will have been dam
aged by too much drought or too
much rain. These berries may be
salvaked in juice.
Recipe For Strawberry Juice
To make strawberry juice first
wash and hull berries, being very
careful to cut off any damaged
spots. Then allow one half cup of
sugar per quart of berries, mash
the berries and sugar together. Put
the kettle of berries over a low
flame and simmer slowly for about
twenty minutes or until the ber-
ries are thoroughly cooked. Strain
the juice through cheese cloth, a
jelly bag or a linen cloth.
After the juice is strained, allow
IL to stand overnight. Then pour IL
into clean scalded jars, taking care
not to disturb the sediment which
may have settled to the bottom.
The jars of juice should then be
partially sealed and heated in a
water bath. Allow ten minutes af-
ter the water bath has begun TO
boil.
Recipe For Strawberry Preserves
Strawberries are delicious pre-
served whole. The United States
Bureau of Home Economics rec
ommends one pound of sugar to one
pound of berries. II you allow the
berries and sugar to stand in lay,
ers together overnight before cook
ing them, the berries will be more
firm and won't cook to pieces. Then,
too, the juice will be extracted and
no water will be needed.
Avoid overlooking strawberry
preserves. Fifteen to twenty min
utes is usually plenty of time to
the syrup. and make the |
berries plump and transparent. Put
into sterilized containers and seal

101 PRAYERS FOR PEACE by
G. A. G. Shrigley, editor. Westmins-
ter Press. Philadelphia. 81. This
compilation of prayers includes an
impressive list Of churchmen and
educators. The prayers are char
acterlzed by a deep humility Of
spirit, and sharing of RESPONSE
bility for the present world situ-
alton. They will be welcomed by
lovers of peace for devotional use
A careful reading Of the prayers
will reveal the thoughts of great
minds on the war and the needs of
men. One can imagine the coptents
OF this little book correcting many
statements and Indifferent attitudes
of every day conversations. For
there is real talking to God in these
pages, and the burden of the soul is
peace on earth.

much may be said with no little
confidence, as the writer reaches
his seventy-ffth bilestone: at no
