also provides similar salary in.

Will receive increases are those in
the lower salary brackets. A total
OF approximately 143,800 employees,
or "a 3 per cent. in positions with
entrance salaries of less than $4,000,
will receive increases of $50 q year,
An estimated $500, or 30.5 per cent,
with entrance salaries between 81. 900
and $500, will receive increases Of
500 a year. Employees numbering
10000, or as per cent. in positions

The total number of employees on
the payroll as of August 81, whose
positions are covered in the salary
advancement plan is 653 500, Of
whom 5l0,700 are in the field.
This coverage of 653,500 is more
than double the coverage OF 304, ,646

June 30, 1899. on which the esti.
mates for the cost Of the salary ad-
vancement plan were based in the

This increase is due principally to

a ressu1rected being, who was the
last writer and caretaker of the
records of ancient inhabitants ap-
peared to the youthful boy Joseph
Smith. It was explained to Joseph
by the messenger where the plates
containing fulness of the gospel
were located, and that he was chos-
en- to be instrumental in bringing
them forth and translating them by
Divine Assistance.
He was also told other things in
cluding the fact that his name
would be had for good and evil
among all nations.
Three times the visit was repeat
ed by Moroni, each time the same
message was given.

was the American public with it's
close to infallible common sense
that made Lou Gehrig a national
hero.
Although he was born only three
years after his parents emigrated
from Germany, Calico writes that
Gehrig's is an American story
that of boy of foreign-born
parents who rose from poverty to
dignity and success. His virtues are
the virtues that are admired by the
American people. Europeans might
not understand our feeling toward
him, but the Greece that was de-
mocracy two thousand years ago
would have perpetuated the name
and fame of men like Gehrig. The
Golden Age Of Greece knew how to
admire the simple virtues.
AS a kid, Calico says that
Gehrig was known only as the
Heinie janitor's son. He was a big
boy for his age, but awkward and
dull-witted and suffered the jeers
of boys of his own age who refused
to let him join their games. There
was nothing at which he was very
good; neither studies nor baseball.
He never showed any flare for the
game till he went to high school.
Here he received his first recogni-
tion in an inter-city game between
the champions of New York and
Chicago, with a home run that
earned him the title of the "Babe
Ruth of the high schools"
At the behest of his mother,
Gehrig went to Columbia, aided by
a scholarship, and continued to
play good ball. But it was hard
work. His family had practically

no money, and he was forced be-
sides his studying and athletic acti-
vities to do innumerable odd jobs
to keep the family going. In spite
of this, his game attracted Big
League attention and over parental
protests he signed a contract with
the New York Yankees for $500.
At the same time Wally Pipp,
Yankee first baseman, approached
Gehrig to negotiate his signing
with mid-western National League
club, and when he heard what had
already transpired, went off to a
bench to sit down and cool off. The
boy he had been trying to get for
someone else, he thought, might
someday get his own job away from
him. Mr.. Pipp writes Calico, was
practically psychic.

Four Panzer Units in Africa.
Accurate information has been
lacking recently regarding the
strength of NaZi forces in North
Africa. The diffculty of esti-
mating the size Of these forces
arises from the fact that Nazis
withdrew certain motorized divi-
sions from Libya last summer.
How many Of them have re-
turned by way OF Tunisia or
other ports under control of the
French is not known.
AS far as is known, however.
the Germans have four panzer
divisions in Africa, all of them
equipped for desert operations.
In addition. there are between
three and four regular divisions.
The Italian force is consider
ably larger. but less important
as a military force. According
TO intelligence reports, there are
some 80 divisions, remnants Of
Marshal Graziani's forces which
received such a drubbing from
the army of Gen. Sir Archibald
P. Wavell about year ago.
This force. placed under the
command Of the Nszi general
staff in Africa. has been i'm

facts that the blockade obviously is
not effective enough to Starve Ger
many into submission; that the
Russians cannot hold out indef1-
nitely, and that you cannot expect
unarmed and starving people effec-
lively to revolt all these things
lend plausibility to the contention
that the best that can be hoped for
is very long war which will end
in q stalemate.

taught to goose-step. The
famous "passo Romano"-a mild
imitation of the goose-step in
troduced in the army by II Duce
in l938-was not very successful.
German training methods are
much more drastic and efficient.
How far German drill officers
have succeeded in instilling
Prussianism in the Italians is a
question, but 1t is known that
feelings between the Italians and
Germans are not particularly
friendly. Italian officers are said
to resent the arrogant and su-
perior manner of their Nazi COL
leagues, while Italian privates
resent the harshness of German
drill sergeants.
Against this combined Axis
force consisting probably of about
100000 men, indifferently equip
ped, the British have thrown an
army of three-Quarters Of a mil
lion. The balance OF the British
imperial army must maintain
careful watch in the Near East.

Nazis May Get L. S. Oil.
Axis forces have had time to
strengthen their positions since
the arrival of Nazi divisions,
compelled the British Army to
withdraw to Egypt. Nazi military
engineers are reported TO have
taken advantage of every salient,
every natural position to con-
struct fortified positions which
can be held by numerically in
ferior forces.
Since the start Of the Russo
German war the Germans prob
ably have had to restrict their
activities in North Africa to
transportation of materials for
fortlflcations along the newly
built lines.

only way he could have won the
war. The war will be won now by
the side with the strongest will to
win. Clearly, that is our side. We
will win the war because the Brit
ish-American combination is now
an unbeatable combination. That
combination will grow steadily
stronger as the months 60 by. That
combination will steadily increase
the pressure on Hitler and never let
up the pounding of the Reich until
the crack comes inside.
In other words. it isn't necessary
to land a great army In Europe to
crush Hitler. He can be crushed by
driving him from the sea, by pound
ing him from the air, by rejecting
every peace proposal until the in
evitable crack comes. That it will
come, as Mr.. Churchill says, no man
should doubt.
DOnOvan'S Work Effective.
In brief, while they have been
"dishing it out" for two years, they
will not be able to take it" for two.
And from now on they will have to
take 1t" in increasingly heavy doses.
Once that truth is driven home in
Germany, the psychological effect
will be enormous. In the last war
it was proven that the German
morale can be broken. 1t has been
proven in this one that the British
spirit cannot be. That the British,
reinforced by America, are certain
to win in war OF morale is not
thing to be questioned, and no
one is justified in forecasting either
a long war or stalemate.
On the psychological front the
organization OF which Col. William
J. Donovan is the head is doing ex-
ceedingly effective work. Other
agencies are getting into play. Soon
the United States will have a real
advantage in the dissemination, COL
lection and application OF informa-
ton. Already much of the Ger
man propaganda is being turned
back on its sponsors. nullified be-
fore it gets out-and the Germans
know it.
Mr.. Churchill is right-there can
be no question Of the ultimate VIC
tory. In their souls the Nazi leaders
know 1t now. Before long the
knowledge will seep through to the
German people. So far as this Ma
ton is concerned. two things are
needed TO hasten the end. One is
stoppage OF the strikes which have
lost seven million man DAYS on de-
fense jobs since January and play

The other is the Strengthening out
